#CURLPOWER
Having naturally cutly hair can sometimes be such a faff, especially when you don't know how to style it properly. I have FINALLY after 22 years of struggling with it, learnt how what works for me, so here are some tips for all of you curly hair girls...

Anyone who knows me (or has ever met me) could tell you that I literally live in stripes.I don't think you can get a bad stripe! This is the latest addition to my wardrobe, it is from Primark!May 2015
Hello lovely people! Today I thought I would create a post to kind of look back on May. I literally can't even deal with the fact that it is the end of May already! It is so insane how fast this year has gone, BUT now that it is June tomorrow, hopefully we can look forward to a lot more sun. I honestly love the summer time SO much, I cannot wait for all of the (veggie) BBQ's and garden parties, and hopefully a nice little holiday too! Hope you've all had a fabulous month! Here's what I did...
RECIPE: Eggless Victora Sponge Cake
So it was my nani's birthday last week, she turned the big 89! So I decided to make her a cake. She doesn't actually eat eggs so I set out to make an eggless version of my all-time favourite, the Victoria sponge. Before this, I had only ever made an eggless cake once, yeaaars ago, and it didn't taste that great so I was sceptical of whether this was actually going to work. BUT to my surprise IT WAS DELICIOUS! I decided to make a vanilla buttercream to go along with it and topped it with loads of strawberries. The strawberries didn't all make it through the journey to my nani's house because my niece decided that she wanted to eat them all.
Okay so it is super simple to make, for the cake, you will need;
- 175g self-rising flour
- 3tsp baking powder
- 70g margarine
- 60g sugar
- 1 tbsp. golden syrup
- 150ml milk
- Some jam
And for the buttercream;
- 225g butter
- 400g icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp. milk
NOW FOR THE FUN BIT! Once you have preheated your oven, and
greased and lined your sandwich tins, sift together the flour and baking powder
into a bowl and set aside. Then cream together the margarine, sugar and golden
syrup together until light and fluffy, add a little flower, then a little milk
and repeat until all of the flour and milk has been added into the mixture. Mix
this until it's all combined and smooth! You can always add a bit extra milk
if you find it is too stiff, but mine was fine! Then divide this into the
two sandwich tins and bake in the oven for around 20-25 minutes, depending on
your oven, until they have risen and are nice and golden-brown. Let them cool
for a bit and then turn out of the tins. You may need to trim a bit off the top
of the cakes to make them flat.
If you are rushed for time, stick them in the freezer for a
bit to make the cool faster, but I left them overnight to cool
completely.
For the buttercream, cream all of the ingredients together
until it is nice and smooth. Then sandwich your cakes together with this and a
little bit of jam. You can either spread it on with a palette knife or you can
pipe it on. Don't forget to save some for the top of the cake! I also saved
a bit to pipe around the bottom of the cake and then I stuck some strawberry chunks
on there too for added decoration. Plop all of your strawberries on and
you're ready to go!
Enjoy!

Every Day Spring Makeup
So I reeeeaaaallllyyy wanted to show you all my every day go to make up for Spring, and I was finding it SO difficult to do it as a stand alone blogpost, so I thought I would film a little video going through all of the different products I used to create this look.
I am still so surprised that I managed to pull this off (kind of - if you make it near the end you'll know that my camera gave up haha oooops) because I never thought I would be brave enough to put myself out there. I feel like this has given me so much more confidence even though I am just talking to a camera, and I really loved putting this together so hopefully there will be many more to come!
I hope you all like this look. It is very simple so perfect for every day, and can be easily taken to a night time look by adding a red lip and falsies!
Please let me know what you think! And please subscribe as well! It would mean the WORLD to me!

That Fringe Bag
TOP | ZARA
JEANS | TOPSHOP
SHOES | ASOS
SUNGLASSES | H&M
BAG | ZARA
It's not secret that I loooove stripes. The majority of my tops are striped and it has got to the point where my friends won't let me by anymore! Not okay! BUT when I was in London with my family, I popped into zara and found this top. I love the fit of zara t-shirts, and they are just SO comfortable for every day too! I paired it with my Topshop Joni Jeans obviously, and my petrol skater shoes from ASOS. When I first got these shoes, they were SO SO painful! Like I can't even explain to you how uncomfortable they were! But now that I have finally worn them in, they are not too bad! My bag is from Zara and is the most perfect fringe bag. I feel as though it just adds so much to the outfit as it is pretty simple and boring. The only thing is, I do wish it was slightly bigger, because I can just about fit my purse and keys in it!
