Chocolate Butterfly Cupcakes


Hullo, my Pixels!

Another tasty recipe my cousin and I decided to try out. Again, like with the hazelnut shortcakes, we had a bit of artistic license with the original recipe. My cousin actually didn't have any dark chocolate to melt into the cakes (shameful, I know!) so we had to improvise a bit with chocolate and caramel spread.

Product Inspection | Rimmel Kate Matte Lipstick 'Kiss of Life'


Hullo, my Pixels!

I finally decided which shade to buy after many weeks of deliberating - so today we're looking at the Rimmel Kate Matte Lipstick in the shade 'Kiss of Life' #111. I don't actually wear much make up at all; sometimes I wear a little bit of eyeliner, other times it'll be mascara, but that's the only two, so trying to commit to a certain shade of lipstick was a tough decision. I noticed that the shade I bought actually matched the red tube, which I thought was pretty cool.

Roasted Hazelnut Shortcakes


Hullo, my Pixels!

These shortcakes definitely don't look that exciting, but wow are they tasty. They require next-to-no effort to make, as the standard recipe only includes five ingredients, although I'm pretty sure a pinch of salt barely counts as a separate ingredient. This recipe also makes 18 biscuits, but it's extremely easy to alter to the amount you would like to make, whether that's more or less.

My Plug Collection | Stretchers

Left to right: 1.6mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 10mm and 14mm.

Hullo, my Pixels!


These totally look normal, right? I know, I know, they look crazy, but stretching up for me was never actually painful, even if it is pushing a huge spike thing into your ear. I'll admit though, the red one on the end was ridiculous and did cause me to have my first blowout. I'll spare you the gross details, but basically because of the blowout I had to take the stretcher out and my ear nearly healed up completely, so I had to start again from 4mm back up to 14mm. Not fun.
