Wright’s Baking | Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix Review*

11 Comments

If you’ve been following me on here for a while, you’ll know I absolutely love baking. Oh and cake. And if you’re new to my blog, then hi, I’m Holly and I love baking and cake 😀 (although tbh, who doesn’t love cake. Am I right?)

But recently it seems I’ve completely and utterly lost my mojo 🙁 I used to make the lightest, spongiest cakes known to man and they tasted so damned delicious. But now all I seem to make are the heaviest brick-like cakes that do taste kinda good but are just so dense. And this makes me incredibly sad 🙁

Bomb Cosmetics Hollybobs Blaster*

18 Comments

It’s not exactly a big secret that I’ve only recently got into bath bombs. Mostly because I used to find going into stores too over-powering and I felt that by ordering online, you lost the choice of being able to smell the products first.

But now I’m all about that bath life, I’ve started amassing a quite large collection. Oops.

Licor 43 Event | Brighton*

10 Comments

It’s been a long time since I’ve had cocktails. The last disastrous night out was my 28th birthday and it didn’t end well. Luckily this time, I had the Yelpers to keep me in check.

I have to be honest, I’d never heard of Licor 43 before, but after trying quite a bit, I think it’s going to become one of my go-to spirits!

SFX Makeup

9 Comments

While watching some random YouTube videos a couple of weeks ago, it recommended a YouTuber called Cherry Wallis. If you’ve not heard of her before, I’d definitely recommend checking her out.  She not only has a lot of Harry Potter related videos, but loads of SFX makeup videos which I was absolutely enthralled by.  It looked really fun, so I decided I wanted to try some of the looks for myself.  Unfortunately I didn’t own any SFX stuff at all, so I bought a few things from Treasure House of Makeup.

I’ve also been admiring Hayley’s (TeaPartyBeauty) Instagram feed because her Halloween SFX makeup is just fab!!

*disclaimer* If you don’t like seeing bruises and scars, this post probably isn’t for you ♥

NUTRIBULLET Smoothie Recipes*

10 Comments

To be honest, when I got a NUTRIBULLET*, I thought I’d make a couple of smoothies and it would go in the cupboard to die.  You know, like the rest of the crazy fads we all own; the toastie maker which is great till you have to clean it, the random popcorn maker you got one Christmas because you’re “difficult to buy for” and the good old cafetiere that no one has time for.  Because hello kettle!

I didn’t expect that for the past month, J and I would actually be using it every day!

Wafflemeister is Brighton’s newest (and family-run franchise) delight; selling sweet and savoury waffles and crepes along with a healthy dose of gelato. Situated at the top of West Street, it’s perfect for tourists heading down to the beach or locals wanting to refresh after a hard morning’s shopping.

I went down to the opening to check it out with some other bloggers and press and damn they put on a good spread!
