Birthday Ceilidh

Last weekend one of my best friends from Uni celebrated her 21st birthday! eeee Happy Birthday! :)
She decided to do a joint celebration with her housemate and another close friend so they hired out a hall and the folk society for the night.

This was the first time I'd been to any type of barn dance/ceilidh but it was so much fun! There was a guy who explained the basic moves and would shout out instructions during the dance. He was a bit hard to understand partly due to the fuzzy sound system but it was quite easy to pick up :)

It soon got really hot with all the dancing but it was so much fun! 

At first we were told there was a bard theme so I was planning on wearing a checkered shirt but just before the event we were told there wasn't a theme anymore so i decided to play it safe.

Virginia Waters

There happened to be a really nice sunny day during the Christmas holidays with blue skies and a lovely crisp feel :) Made a change from the other miserable days, I love it when its winter and its sunny as you can wrap up in many layers and enjoy the sunshine which instantly lifts your mood :)
Two of my best friends and I decided to walk around Virginia Waters. It was so nice to take a break from revision and clear my mind and catch up a bit more with the girls before we went back to Uni and work :)

It honestly feels like I have been revising forever. As soon as I arrived home for Christmas holidays my head was straight in those books. Hopefully all my hard work will pay off :) I've got my last exam this semester tomorrow morning and then I'm freeee :D

Biosoc Winter Ball

11th December 2013

The Bio department at Uni were throwing a Masquerade Ball during the last week of this semester. Originally I wasn't going to go as a few of my friends were going on a social but I texted one of my best friends at uni on the day asking whether she wanted to go as all my work had been handed in. We then decided to go very last minute :) Any excuse to dress up! :) I decided to wear my black velvet dress.

The Ball was at Wild Lime and it was a really nice evening :) Catherine got ready at mine and we headed off together to the Ball :) We were able to pay on the door and received a complementary glass of champagne :) It felt so classy with everyone in suits, dresses and masks, sipping away at wine :) We both had a really nice night and we got chatting to some people from our course :) So glad we decided to go last minute :)
Have you had any end of term parties or socials? :)

Christmas Meal

9th December 2013

During our last week of the semester the girls and I decided to go for a Christmas meal to celebrate the end of term :) I'd finished all my assignments due for the end of the week the weekend before so I was excited to go out and not be constantly working. We all got dressed up and decided to go to Wild Lime in the high street. The food was okay but the service wasn't that great as we were in the corner and they'd forgotten about us. We all had a nice girly chat and catch up nonetheless :) It was really nice to have a nice meal and wine and get dressed up :) Definitely need to do more of these nights next year :)

Fur Fur Fur

I've always wanted a fur coat so when mum spotted this one from Next I decided to get it :) It is soooo warm! I feel like a snuggley bear! Perfect for winter and this cold weather! :) At first I wasn't sure about it but it's so soft and I like it being oversized as it makes it warmer :)
What do you think? Will you be wearing faux fur this winter? :)

Caaake!

I have such a sweet tooth and I love making cakes and cookies and everything really :)
Mum knows this super easy recipe so I thought I would give it a go on the weekend! Here's the recipe and you must try it because it's so quick and easy and super yummy! :)

Ingredients:
200g Greek Style Yoghurt
150g Strawberries and Blueberries
4tbs Sugar
Lady Fingers
Birds Dream Topping
150ml Milk

Method:

1. Chop up the fruit.
2. Mix together the yoghurt and sugar and then add in the fruit.
3. Put a small layer of the mixture on the bottom of your dish.
4. Make a layer of lady fingers.
5. Add another layer of fruit and yoghurt mix.
6. Make a second layer of lady fingers.
7. Add the rest of the fruit and yoghurt mixture.
8. Follow the instructions on the Dream topping and make it, then smooth it over the cake.
9. Put it in the fridge to chill and it's done!

Chop up the fruit :)

Mix it all together :)

Layer it up and fiiiniished :)

So quick and easy and it's perfect for summer as it's light and healthy because it has fruit in it :) Or you can make it whenever as you don't need an oven and it's simple to make. Just multiply the yoghurt, sugar and fruit if you want to make a bigger cake :) I multiplied mine by 2 and mum usually makes 3 times the ingredients :)

Enjoy! :)
