Peanut Butter Cookies

So everyone knows that too much revision is counter productive and you need to take frequent breaks, yesterday I decided to make the most of my break by doing some baking!

I opted for peanut butter and choc chip cookies, now I made mine from scratch but I'm pretty sure you could make these with the Betty Crocker boxes that you just have to add like an egg and water too and just throw some peanut butter in there, but I was in the baking mood and decided to go it alone!

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Cookies 
They smelt heavenly and my Dad ate pretty much the whole plate so I'm guessing that he meant it when he said they where delish and that he wasn't just being biased!

When you should be revising.....

...but you find yourself doing anything and everything else such as.....NAIL ART!
I love nail art, in fact I sometimes spend hours online looking at everyone else's fantastic nails, have you seen WAH! nails? some of the nail art they produce is just amazing, I've also been a frequent visitor to BURKATRON for a long time now, and I get so jealous because i really do have shakey hands...well when it comes to doing my right hand anyway!

But alas, below is a picture of a particular design i like because it accommodates shakey hand in a way that the design doesn't have to be neat! I'm pretty happy with it, even if i did end up smudging my forefinger about half an hour after completion....I'm always ruining my forefingers! 



I'm also a fan because the combination of colours can be endless depending on your nail varnish collection!
As you can see I opted for pastel colours, all models own! 


Lets start again shall we

I really do suck at this blog stuff, I mean since my last post I've actually FINISHED university, I have my last exam on Wednesday and then that's it, I graduate! Scary stuff eh? 
So Ill do a round up as briefly as I can to cover the last...2 years? no year and a halfish?

In my last post I was half way through my placement year, I met a great bunch of people, gained some experience in the adult world of work and definitely decided that IT support isn't for me....some people are just so rude and lets face it, incompetent - sounds mean but really, if you don't know the difference between a  mouse and a keyboard then you shouldn't be using a computer, that's just a fact. 

Yours truly doing a Britney

Here's a little image of me in my "IT Support" role....Hit me baby one more time anyone? 

What else happened? Oh yes! I went to my favourite place in the whole world....well in the UK...Edinburgh! Just love that city, however this particular visit was especially great because I went to the zoo and got to see the pandas! I was so close to them and was lucky that one of them was actually awake as usually both of them just sleep all day ha! 
I still think I could live in the wild as a surrogate panda baby....

Probably the biggest thing that occured last year was the fact that I FINALLY got to go America, My friend and I went to California for 5 and a half week and then spent a week in Las Vegas....absolutely best time of my life,  so much happened that it needs its own post which I will do later on, its actually quite depressing because I don't have any holidays planned this summer so looking back over pictures from last summer is que saddening....!

So, with this blog I will be posting about recent purchases - and lately there is a lot of them, usually skin care and make up, i have an unhealthy obsession with skin care, give me a new cleanser any day and I will squeeeee like a little girl!
Same goes with books I've read/am reading (and i apologize in advanced there are a lot of them).  fashion, clothes I've bought/liked, places I wanna go, places I've been, breakdowns of my day, things I've made and so on....I really do hope I stick to the blog this time, I mean now that I've finished uni I've pretty much got nothing going on other than my job!

Peace Out x
