Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats!

Today I took some time out from hectic third year work (ahhhh!) to make some yummy chocolate rice Krispie treats!!

How to make them: 

-100g chocolate 

-60g butter

-3 tablespoons of golden syrup

-rice Krispies 

1. Melt the chocolate and butter together until the mixture is a glossy, smooth texture. 

2. Add in the golden syrup.

3. Pour in the rice Krispies and stir until they are all coated in the choccy mixture. Keep adding the cereal until you think that no more could be covered by the mixture. 

4. Place in the fridge until stuck together. 

Then YUM! 

A simple recipe, but something to cheer you up if you're going through third year uni hell! 

What have you been up to today? Cooked up anything yummy? 

Review: Clinique Chubby Stick

My lovely mum gave me her Clinique Chubby Stick to try last week. I was moaning about how my lips always dry out when I wear lipstick and she told me try this. Hers was a lovely neutral brown/pink shade.

It was really smooth to put on and built up the colour really naturally. After a few hours my lips still felt moisturised, but not gloopy like with lipgloss or cracked like with lipstick! Ladies and gents I think we have a winner!

I will definitely be purchasing myself one of these bad boys when I next need a top up of my tinted moisturiser. The only thing I don't know is what colour to choose! They are so many lovely ones!

Do you have a Clinique Chubby Stick? And what colour should I get? :)

H&M Hand in Haul

Had a cheeky haul in H&M after handing in two projects yesterday! I handed in another today, so only one more to go next week and second year is over! I can smell the summer!

This dress is a really nice dusky grey. Love the aztec top and floaty skirt. Grey tends to wash me out but I really wanted a cool dress for this weather, and I think with a bright necklace and bag it will look smashing - and it was a bargain at £14.99.

A bit of a copy of the Topshop rolled sleeve tees, but I love the colour. It's a really vibrant purple. I have so many patterned skirts that I really needed a plain t-shirt to wear them with. I'm sure I'll be buying this in a few colours. £7.99. 

Saturday Savings

Today was all about savings - saving time & money.

My mum kindly drove me to find where my internship is based, to save me time and stress on monday morning! 

The magazine is called Velvet and it's a free, luxury mag based in Newmarket. 

We then headed to Bury St Edmunds for a bit of retail therapy. 

And here are some of my purchases! 

We started off at The Works - if you haven't been it is AMAZING for super cheap books and craft materials. The Dressmaking book is so thick and reduced from £25 to £9.99! A great saving and hopefully something to inspire me to get back into sewing! I also picked up another book for my dissertation (which is a big secret at the moment, I'll tell you all about it soon!) for £3.99! What a bargain!

We then headed to Matalan, where I bought the boyfriend some black trousers for work as his have been worn to death! I also picked up this gorgeous statement silver necklace for £10. I think it's going to be great for updating my trusty LBD, as well as brand new black jumper! 

Lastly, we stopped off at Sainsbury's, and naturally, mother and I had to check out the stationary (we are a bit addicted to stationary...you should see her study!). I found this cute A5 notepad to use for next term at uni. And, of course, I needed to buy Vogue! LOVE the cover image this month. So sixties!

Easter Treats!!

 Sainsbury's have these Easter goodies on fabulous offers at the moment. Just a heads up! The eggs are 99p each and the animal bunnies are 80-something-pence a box.
