I’ve been wanting to try out new foundation recently and a couple of weeks ago mum said she’d get me some new make up products so when we went to Marks & Spencer I thought I’d try the foundation in their Autograph range, their cosmetics were on 3 for 2 so I ended up getting a foundation and a face palette along with a bronzer/highlighter.
So for my birthday last month mum made me a cake using various food items (I’ve added a photo of that at the bottom of this post) then I thought I’d have a go at making a cake for her birthday this month which is what I did here… I decided to get creative with custard for this one (along with adding a couple of other toppings) and I thought I’d share the recipe for it on my blog, so here it is, a recipe for a custard covered birthday cake.
I’ve always found my online life to be a place for positivity, but in real life, not everything is always positive and today’s post is going to be me letting you into what real life can be like sometimes, from my perspective… a sort of, facts about me style post, a Mental Health style post so if you are triggered by reading about any sort of mental health issues then maybe skip this one?
Primark have got a lovely range of Mickey Mouse homeware and stationery in at the moment and my parents got me 3 of the stationery items for my birthday which was great. I actually chose them myself beforehand, I had only planned to get maybe one or two but then I ended up getting these three, I wandered round the store with all three of them fully expecting to put at least one back but when it came to going to the till I didn’t want to leave any of them behind so got all three! Mickey Mouse (and Minnie Mouse for that matter) are two of my favourite Disney characters plus I absolutely love pale pink and grey so this stationery is perfect for me, it’s just so cute.
I first started using Gutenberg, the new WordPress editor when I updated my blog last month, the first time I used it I was definitely a bit like okay what is this post going to look like when it’s posted, I wasn’t sure at all if I’d got the spacing right! Fortunately I had and here we are now… me writing a (hopefully) helpful post full of tips on using the new editor, if you’re still a bit like ‘how do I do x, y or z?’ with the new editor then this post – a bloggers guide to using Gutenberg, is for you.
I restarted my Netflix subscription this week and instantly there was a whole list of TV shows and films that I added to My List on there, so what’s on my to watch list this month? I’m going to split this post into two sections, films and TV shows… Let’s start off with TV!
First of all I just want to say I hope you’ve all had a lovely Christmas, today I’m going to be sharing with you one of the houses I recently edited and added decorations to for Christmas on The Sims Freeplay. It was a house I was still editing (it used to be the DIY Home one) before I started adding the Christmas decorations so that’s why it doesn’t have that much other stuff in it right now. I thought I’d leave it like this then add other stuff in it once the Christmas decorations have been removed again.
Most of the decorations in my room are the same ones as last year but some of them have been put in different places, one notable difference as well is the lack of tinsel on my Christmas tree (I know! No tinsel??) I decided to decorate it a bit differently this year. If you haven’t already, check out the video I posted on my YouTube channel – Vlogmas – Decorating The Christmas Tree.
Card making is something I absolutely love doing and have done for a while now so what better time to get creative with making cards than at Christmas.

A chance phone call to the wrong number by a guy on a bridge set off a chain of events one night. Just what will Georgia, the charity shop manager who answered the phone, do when she finds out who the caller was who is in desperate need of help?
One of my passions is baking and a couple of months ago I got this idea of let’s do Bakemas on my blog and YouTube channel during December – post a video of baking then share the recipe on my blog… I’m still not sure how many I’m actually going to do but here we are with the first one! If you haven’t already go and check out the video for this bake on my YouTube channel which I posted yesterday Bakemas – Chocolate Icing Covered Christmas Shortbread.
