Adventure Movie

I told you lot a while ago that I was going for a walk so that I could get some clips for the film I was making, well here is the completed thing. It is just an assortment of videos that I took. It is inspired by Lana Del Rey's videos that is why it quite random. I've been very busy revising for my prelim exams coming up in like a weeks time and I keep on getting distracted by the blog so here is something you can watch to keep you busy. :)

My Favourite Mascara!

So when some people do their makeup, they have a 'famous' feature? For example they might always have bright red lippy? I, myself, personally like a good coating of mascara on my eyelashes!

For a long time I would buy a different mascara everytime I ran out. I found ones I hated, ones that were useless, too clumpy, too runny.. And in the end I've come to a reasonable conclusion! My TWO favourite mascaras I use are both made at an affordable price by 17!

The first mascara I use, to lengthen my lashes, is 17's 'Wild Curls' in 'Wild Black'. I've used for ages and even without using a second mascara it gives me extreme length and volume!

The second mascara I apply is also by 17 and is called 'Blow out'. I bought this one when it was promoted, and although it isn't very good for building length, when I have 'Wild Lashes' on under it, it gives huge volume!

Both mascaras are around the £7-£10 mark, and I would highly reccomend using either Wild lashes alone, or both together. You can buy them from Boots.

Sounds.

I have been attempting to revise for my prelim exams for the past few weeks and I have found myself sitting alone in my room with only the turning of the page interrupting the silence. So I have made up my mind to make a playlist of songs that I think we should all listen to whilst revising, although I do listen to these all the time anyway. Just have a quick listen as they are excellent. Okay, maybe some are a bit distracting and instead of putting your head down and working you will just want to get up and jump about your room. Just a heads up. :-)

Mars Bar Crispy Recipe

This is maybe one of my favourite traybakes. My mum used to make it a lot but then it stopped working so well so she stopped and we decided to make it again last night. A layer of chocolate on top of chocolate syrupy crisp bubbles. Doesn't that just sound heavenly?

Recipe makes about 18 pieces

Here's what you need : 

1. 270g of Mars Bars
2. 120g of butter
3. 1 1/2 tablespoons of golden syrup
4. 120g of rice crispies
5. 300g chocolate (whatever kind you like)

Instructions: 

1. Line a tray with foil so that the mixture will not stick to the container.

2.Place the mars bars, butter and golden syrup in a pan on a medium-low heat. You have to stir constantly so it doesn't burn. When there are only a few nougat bits left, use the back of the spoon to squash them.

3. If there are still bits of nougat, turn the heat up to medium. Keep stirring until the mixture is smooth and  together. Take the pan off the heat.

4.Pour the rice crispies into a large bowl along with the mars bar mixture and mix the crispies up so that every single one is coated.

5. Pour the combination into the foil lined tray and press down with the back of the spoon so that the mixture is evenly spread.

6. Melt the chocolate and spread all over the rice crispies. It doesn't matter how you melt the chocolate but I used the microwave as it is quicker.

7. Place the tray in the fridge to set. However I did not put mine in the fridge because there was no room but it still worked fine although it is a little sticky but I like it that way. I also sprinkled the remainder of some cornflake bites on the top because my mum was going to throw them in the bin otherwise.

8. Eat until your heart is content.
