Recipe - Chocolate and banana brownies

Hi Guys!

I had some super duper over ripe bananas hanging around so decided to make chocolate and banana brownies. I used a brownie mix, but you could do this from scratch if you wanted. I'm a bad cook and I don't really like banana's but this was so easy and a great way to use up food that I would have just chucked in the bin. And even though this is by no way healthy it made me feel good to think I was getting some fruit into me. Does this count as one of my five a day? Do I care?

What I did:

Pre heated my oven according to the packet instructions

Greased a cake tin

Put my bananas in a bowl and mashed them. Truth be told they were so so ripe they came out the skin already mashed lol

I then dumped my dry brownie mix on top and gave it a good mix with a wooden spoon. As you can see from the picture, the mashed banana acts as a substitute for any water/oil you usually add. Cos I'm a greedy cow I did add vegetable oil anyway, but instead of 4 tablespoons I just added 1 1/2 to make it extra moist and glossy.

I then poured the gooey mix into the cake tray and popped it into the oven.

Once the time was done I took it out the oven and let it cool for about 20 seconds and then I ate it.

THE END. ENJOY!

Xmas 2013 haul: non beauty products

Hi Everyone!

Hope you had a brilliant Christmas. I had a fantastic day with my family, and I did really really well with my presents!
Usually I ask Santa Claus to bring me money but this year I didn't - because instead of buying myself a treat I end up spending it on something boring like the gas bill. So anyways, I got lots of stuff which I really appreciate and of which I'm sharing with you now. I've split the post into two: one (this one) of my non beauty type products and the other post will be beauty type products. (Also, big up to my brother for all my Ikea goodies which I've already shared with you previously). 

#adventcalendar days 1-8

Hi Guys

Just wanted to show you the joy and wonders that were in my birthday advent calendar. I have had so much fun unwrapping these and it's encouraged me to get out of bed on the cold dark mornings.

I've already showed the magnificent tangle teezer - day 1 was an extra special day as it's my birthday. I've been wanting this tangle teezer because apart from being leopard print, it's a smaller size and is great for the handbag, it comes with a back case to protect the bristles. 

Day 2 was chocolate so needless to say I spent the day making sure I ate all my giant buttons :)

Day 3 was nail polish - really loving the maybelline color show line - very impressed. 

Day 4 was shower gel! This present made me laugh. At first I was shocked at how V knew this was my favourite shower gel as it's not an obvious choice - but she was practically my house mate for nearly a week so that's that mystery solved.

Day 5 is argan hair oil- I can't wait to give this a go!

Day 6 - this present stressed me out because I couldn't figure out which was day 6 and day 9 - and I realise that V kindly did the line thing but I still couldn't figure it out - thank god for goggle innit!!! Anyways! Day 6 was more chocolate - which became my dinner mmmmmmmmm

Day 7 - love this - Vaseline paint the town red lip tint - limited edition. 

Day 8 - celebrations yaaaaaaaay my favouite are the malteaser ones mmmmmmmmmmmmm

My pile of presents is still massive but I'm sad that the month is coming an end. I wish I could have a year version of this....I guess I could wrap up my make up and bathroom stuff and kitchen utensils and every day I could unwrap something....yeah? I could wrap up all my coke cans and eggs lol
