Update #2 - Photo Diary and my Future

The last month has been crazy busy and I'm the type of person who has plans - maybe - once or twice a month so it was definitely a shock to the system having things to do, places to be and people to see. 

It all began at the end of July when I flew to Nerja, Spain with my family for a couple of weeks in the sun. The area was beautiful, we took a trip up to the mountains to visit the small town of Frigiliana and visited the beach a couple of times. In particular I enjoyed the relaxation and had plenty of time for things I don't normally get to do such as reading. 

Chocolate Marble Cake

Last night was a big occasion in England as 'The Great British Bake Off' returned to our screens and we were graced with the blue eyed beauty's Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry and the comedic accomplices Mel and Sue once again. The night of jaffa cakes, genoise and lemon drizzle has inspired me to get back into the baking act and I thought that I would share this with you. Maybe this will become a bit of a weekly thing, who knows.

Chocolate Marble Cake

I wanted something a bit chocolatey and thought a marble cake would be a great place to start, from what I remember the last marble cake I made didn't go quite to plan. Fingers crossed for this time!

A Summer's Walk

Here are a few photographs that I took this morning on a walk around my local area using my iPhone 5s...

Benefit Gimme Brow: Review

As I am going away on holiday next week I wanted to pick up a few magazines to read by the pool and on the plane, sifting through the countless glossy mags on offer I came across Glamour which was rapped in plastic and had a free gift included! You may have guessed from the title but it was the Benefit Gimme Brow, mine is in the shade 5 - deep but they did have the other shades (3 - medium and 1- light) on offer, you would just need to have a hunt around for them.
