Pink Hair

Why pink?!

For the last few years I've really started to dislike my hair. It started a couple of years ago when I went to a really stressful time which resulted in my hair falling out and becoming a lot thinner then it has ever been. I ended up with about a 1/3 of what it has always been. Lucky for me that my hair has been so thick that it was as if I just had very thin unhealthy hair. I started to wear it up a lot to hide the areas that were the worst. It took about a year for it to start growing back properly and then it was stubley and sticking up so I continued to wear it ways to hide as much of it as I could. It continued to grow but ended up really thin as it got longer and thick on the top. 

Eventually this october I got it cut in a bob as it had finally gotten to that length and completely even. It's not like it was before but it's much better then it got so it made me happy even though I hate my hair this short and my natural colour. I tried some highlights but it wasn't much different from what it was.

I was telling my sister that I wanted something different and she suggested she could do something with it and I said I'd let her do anything. she does her own hair and it's always gorgeous. She then suggested pink and I thought ok why not.

It took it rounds of bleaching as my hair is so dark, the first was grand and wasn't a bother but the second stung a little. I also used purple shampoo in between washes to help take the yellow out of my hair. 

After washing the second round of bleach out my sister fell asleep like really asleep couldn't not be woken by an earthquake asleep so I was on my own for the pink. I went with bleach london Rosé and I had to do this twice as the first one turned out peach.

I did what the bottle said but wasn't happy with the result so I tried it again as I still had half a bottle and it worked out much better and the pastel pink l had wanted the whole time. This time I put it in bone dry and not the towel dry the bottle suggested and it made all the difference.

I also left it for longer than the recommended time which I don't know makes a difference or not but it was in about 50 mins. It says it should last 2 to 1 washes and I'm thinking of keeping it pink for a little while aso will be investing in a good bit of this stuff. It's got me hooked!

Cocoa Brown The Goddess Collection In-Store Launch

I went along to the Cocoa Brown launch for The Goddess Collection on Tuesday. Last week tickets for the launch went online for free and included a goodie bag. It took place over in Dundrum in Penney's and I went over with my Mam and 3 sisters. I also got to meet the lovely Marissa Carter who is as lovely as she seem on her snapchat and the other ladies from Cocoa Brown who are all so friendly too. It was a really nice atmosphere and I even got a picture with Marissa. 

I had never used any of the goddess oils before even though I keep meaning to try one out, so off course I had to get the collection and give them all a go. I can see myself getting a bit addicted to these and walking around like a human disco ball but at least I'll be happy.

In Goddess collection was €13 for 3 30ml bottles, one of each of the shades which are Golden Goddess, Ice Goddess (the newest) and Rose Gold Goddess. I can imagine these being very handy for the christmas season and the even have that gorgeous smell as the other cocoa brown products.

When I registered for my ticket it said I'd get a goodie bag and oh my god was it and amazing goodie bag! In the goodie bag it contained Chocolate Whip Oil-Free body moisturiser 200ml, Kind Shampoo and Conditioner 200ml, Night and Day Tan 150ml can, tough stuff 75ml and last but not least 5oml tube of Bronzing Gel instant tan in matte. How amazing is this goodie bag I've used and loved some of these already but have yet to try the night and day tan and the bronzing gel so now I have no excuse and since my summer tan has completely disappeared now I can see them being tried out pretty soon. 

What I love most about all these are that I suffer from eczema and I can use them with out a problem. The Cocoa Brown tan was the first tan that I successfully used and didn't make my skin irritated or make the eczema stand out more. I recently started using the shampoo and conditioner when my hands started to break out again from the changing weather and it doesn't irritate them or sting at all which is fantastic most of the others I've used over the years usually have no fragrance and my hair doesn't last all that long between washes so I've already fallen in love with it and they are all pretty good price wise too and everywhere. If they were to bring out a shower gel I'd be over the moon!

Surprise Baby Shower

My sister is due a baby next month and so I wanted to throw her a surprise baby shower. I've had great help from my mam and sisters organising it all. 

The theme for the party was afternoon tea so lots of cakes, treats and bunting. Since she will only find out the baby's gender once it's born I tried to keep it as natural as possible. It may have turned out a little girlier then I had first thought it would but it's very much my sisters style and pretty so I knew she would like it.

The decorations.

Bunting is from dunnes stores (multicolor) and starbuys (flowery) and cost less than €5 for both.
I also got the 3 paper pompoms in dunnes Stores for about €3 and the bigger white one in Ikea.

The yellow babyshower banner I got in Mr.Price as well as the purple babyshower balloons, paper plates and the guest badges. I headed to ikea again to pick up some fabric for a tablecloth, I wanted something floral and I knew I had seen the fabric there before. I got 2 meters for €12, while I was there I also got some flower napkins and pastel ribbon. 

For the balloons I got a disposable helium tank in Argos for 27.99 which blew up 30 of them. I am not the biggest fan of them so I got my sister to blow them up for me and another to arrange them all. I got the clear balloons in Tescos for about €3 and the coloured ones in starbuys for a couple of euro.

The invitation.

I made these myself at home but printing out my invitation on card from the art and hobby shop and used some patterned cardboard as the surround, I used different colors like pink, blue, yellow and green and mixed and match them with coloured envelopes like a pink invite in a blue envelope.

Prediction cards.

I found a template for the surround online and added in my details on the inside, then changed the size before printing and again used the card that I used for the invites. I also added the date of the shower to the bottom of it. After the shower we had a little peek at these the messages where lovely and we will wait and see if any one got the right predictions. 

The food.

As the theme was a tea party I wanted to keep the food to small bites. 

I made baby shower themed mini cupcakes, macarons, finger sandwiches and a small chocolate and buttercream cake topped with fresh strawberries.

 My sister Siobhán made gluten free rock buns and gorgeous chocolate truffles and my sister clodagh made chocolate covered strawberries. 

Áisling really enjoyed the surprise and couldn't believe we had all kept it from her this whole time. Everyone brought her such lovely gift, I don't think any of us expected so much they ll so great. 

Celtic Candles

I had to write a review of this candle because it is the nicest smell I have ever been near and even the packaging is gorgeous. My sister bought it for me as a little present because I love candles and anything with champaign lol. She bought it at the RDS at the beauty show last month. The candle is hand poured and organic wax too. The scent is pink grapefruit and champagne and even though I've had it lighting a good few hours it's hardly made a dent on it. It has 25 hours burning which for a little candle is fantastic as I go through other ones really quickly. 

It also turns out the the company that makes these right up the road from here in the same town and yet I'd never bought one before. I had a little look and they have loads of other scents. The house smells gorgeous with this candle lighting I'm so happy my sister bought me this even if it has started a new obsession.

Pippa palette for Blank Canvas Cosmetics

I was waiting to get this palette for ages. When I went to get it there was none left so I had to wait for more to go on sale. I did get one eventually and I was like a kid at Christmas opening it. I bought it from cloud10beauty and they had 15% off when I went to get it. I love when that happens. The palette is limited edition and made by Pippa O'Conner and Blank Canvas cosmetics. I always love Pippas make up and I love her style so I couldn't wait to get my hand on this and try it out. 

The packaging as you can see is gorgeous, girly and pink. The mirror on the inside is a great size as well. The palette has six eye shadows, a highlighter, blusher and contour. I want to start by talking about my favourite of all these and its the highlighter! When I first opened it I couldn't help but swatch it on my hand and the pigment is so nice and a little sparkly, even putting it on feels nice. Where I apply highlighter is usually my driest area and highlighter sometimes just looks powdery there but this just made my cheekbones look so good. It's a perfect in between highlighter by not being to much or too little, it's just the right amount. This from a person that up until a few years ago didn't see why anyone wore highlighter oh how that's changed!

The contour suits me well and as it doesn't have that orange colour that can sometimes be in contours and it's matte. The blush is a nice subtle pink which I find very girly and good for the paler toned girls. The eye shadows are just fantastic and I especially love all the names of these, they obviously had thought put into them and my favourite is the shade called TOBY which I have on today blended in the crease. I also love LILY and DODO too and they all go so well together. My sister has also used it and went for the same colours as I did when I first used it and she loves it too but she may buy her own haha.

.... and another Penney's haul

So I went shopping yesterday for what was supposed to be to buy ingredients for a cake but I may have brought a little extra to visit Penney's and I wonder why I'm always broke. Well anyway here is what I bought and yes not just one candle like a normal person I got two because I couldn't decide which one I wanted more.

First of all I re-bought the P.S love make up brush cleaner as it just so handy for cleaning brushes after using them and I am almost out of my other bottle.

Next is the peach and sweet champaign candle which is in a cute jar that was €3. The first thing I noticed was the colour which I love then I opened it an had a little smell and wow it's so nice. It has a really sweet smell to it and is definitely peach, I was never too keen on peach's until I tasted peach ice tea and then became obsessed with it. 

The second candle I bought is the White lily and peony that is in the white jar that only cost €4. I looks lovely and I would never have even considered it because I usually stay clear of anything to do with lily's or I'll spend the next week sneezing. My sister insisted I smell it saying that she thought I'd love it when she saw it the other day, so I did and it smells like fresh washing or that fancy soap that only ever came out for guests lol. This is the type of candle I like to burn when I'm just relaxing on a quite day.

 I also got a new lip pencil in the hopes that it somewhat matches the wet n wild lipstick I bought the other day. I haven't put them together yet but they look pretty similar. It doesn't seem to say what shade it is but it was only €1.50

On my way to the till I spotted the eye cream for only a €1 so I bought it gets me every time. I used later on after taking off my make-up and although it was nice and soaked in well it slightly stung my eye area a little. It's not a like it left it red or anything but just a little stingy. I might use it once more and see if it does it again just so I know and that it wasn't that my skin was too dry or anything.

These colour they just find me every time. I keep looking at these pj bottoms and keep putting them back so today I just gave in and bought them. They where €7 and are so light and soft. I got them in a size bigger then I'd usually get because I suffer with a bad stomach and can swell up from time to time so it's nice to have something lose and not constricting to throw on especially since I sometimes have to wear a size up because of it.  I put them on the next chance i got and they are so comfy the band around them is really light elastic and really nice to wear.

The runners were a complete impulse buy. I have runners already a couple of them actually but these have memory foam and where only €13 so I convinced myself to buy them and see how the memory foam works out. I wore them walking to and from my evening class later that day and they where really bouncy to walk in but a little tight. It's really strange I bought some in Penney's in the same size a while ago and they where a little bit too big so this time I tried on the smaller size and they where so small I couldn't get my foot in them so I went back to my original size which are a little tight. Either my feet are trying to make a fool of me or the sizes are a bit off in there, I'm just hoping they will loosen up a bit if I where them around a bit because I love the colour.

Thanks for reading and if you would like to follow me on here , bloglovin or twitter all my links are on the side.

Wet N Wild Mega last lip colour

While shopping in Dunes Stores I can't resist having a look at the make up stands like Wet N Wild. Until today I have never bought or used any of their lipsticks before and when I saw they where only €2.99 I picked up a few then put most of them back and bought this one. I wasn't sure if I'd like them so I thought I'll buy one this time and if I do like it I'll buy them all next time lol. 

The one I went for is called Think Pink and it's a really light but bright pink shade. It's nice and creamy and doesn't have that weird plastic taste like some cheaper lipsticks do. I couldn't wait to try it out and I did straight away in the car after buying it. I know I maybe should have waited to take a couple of photos but nope I'm too impatient for that. It did last a bit not forever but not a lot of lipsticks do or maybe that's just me anyway I will definitely be trying out some of the other shades of these next time I'm in Dunnes and they also have a good selection to choose from. If anybody has any recommendations for which ones I should get let me know by leaving me a comment.

Quick Fix Facials Mega Moisture Mask.

Another mask from my little trip to boots. This time I'm trying out Quick Fix Facials's Mega Moisture Mask for dry and thirsty skin. Since the weather is getting a bit warmer and my skin has been getting a bit more dry lately I thought I pick this up and give it a go. The pink tube did have a little to do with my choice. They really know how to get me lol. 

I't comes in a 100ml tube which I love so handy and mess free unlike jars when your left with product stuck under your nails and only cost me €6.49.

It says it's for thirsty, parched, dry skin in need of some TLC. It also explains how it is packed full of ingredients to help your skin like:

• Hyaluronic Acid, Which replaces moisture and helps provide deep hydration to skin.
• Vitamin E, Full of antioxidants that will help keep skin in good condition.
• Marine Collagen, a source of collagen which will help skin retain moisture and elasticity.

So far it all sounds good so here is how I got on. I applied the mask like the directions told me to. "Smooth a thick layer onto the skin and leave for 5-10 minutes to infuse skin with goodness. Remove with warm water or gently wipe away with a warm damp flannel or cloth." 

I applied a thick layer all over my face and neck including under my eyes as they are so dry that I thought they could use the hydration. I checked and it said nowhere not to just not to have direct contact with an eye or both so... . Anyway I applied some to lips as well and just had to try remember not to lick my lips for 5 to 10 minutes. It felt like a thick moisturiser putting it on and it did dry in a little mainly to areas that seemed to really need it. I left it on for 10 minutes then washed it off with warm water and patted my skin dry with a dry, clean soft towel. That was it I was done. 

Now or the results. I couldn't believe how great my skin felt and looked after this mask it's like how it would looks after using a really good moisturiser for a few day's and it feels so soft. My skin can be very flaky and can also feel sort of rough too but it's so soft now. I think this is one I should defiantly be adding to my routine and will be doing at least once a week. The tube says that you can get 10 facials out of it, I think I might not get that many as I will use it on my neck as well and my hands because it made such a difference to them. 

After I put it on my face I rubbed a thick layer over the eczema on my hand which usually look dry, cracked and wrinkled which is mainly from scaring but after I washed it off they look plump and the redness has gone down even the cracked feeling and look has improved. It really shows the results better on my hand then anywhere else as they where noticeable dryness before hand. If your suffering from dry skin I recommend giving this a go and see if it helps as its a lot cheaper then some of the other products I've tried and felt crap after. Also don't forget to test it out first before using it to make sure you wont have a reaction to anything in it. It's always handy to try get into that habit.

3D Foundation Brush

This 3D brush looks a little strange but interesting at the same time. I bought it on ebay for €2 and postage was free. I arrived yesterday and I just couldn't wait to try it out. Sometimes it's hard to tell if something that looks good on line will look good once it arrives and if the quality will be good. When I opened the packaging it was in it was all wrapped up in plastic and the bristles looked like they had survived the trip. 

The handle is nice, it's thick put not uncomfortable just right to hold and of course pink with a little shine to it. I also love the gold ...so shiny. The bristles are the softest ever and when I was using it I just kept thinking but it was only €2. The angles of the brush work really well for me applying my foundation. It helps me around the areas like under my eyes. It's also great for around my nose and helps give my foundation a really good finish. It's also a great brush for contouring and blending while contouring. 

Being so cheap I always wonder if there is a catch I just haven't come across yet but so far so good. No bristles shedding and no bad finish with foundation. I'm not sure how long it will last but taken care of I'm sure it will be fine. So what I'm saying it I found a great cheap brush that's really really soft and looks great. 

Latest bakes

So recently Iv'e been doing a little bit of baking so I thought I would share what Iv'e made.

Pink and white girly cake

Here's the communion cake I made for a little girl called Natasha. She asked for a white and pink decorated 2 tier cake. The inside was chocolate sponge with chocolate fudge icing. The house also smelled like chocolate all day. 

Very chocolate cake

Another communion cake this time for a little boy called Josh. He asked for a very chocolatey cake. So here is what I made. It's chocolate sponge, dark chocolate fudge icing with milk chocolate fudge icing around the top. I was also asked to decorate it with gold letters and a butterfly. The little gold balls on the bottom are painted malteasers. 

Cookies

I seem to be making these cookies a lot recently. There chocolate chip and sprinkle vanilla cookies. There so easy to make and I made it even easier when I made up a big batch divided it up and froze them so all I had to do was defrost and bake. 

What I found on ebay

OK so I think at this stage everyone knows how addictive eBay can be right? You know you go on for a little look or to look for one new make up brush and a hour later you have found about an million new things that you now have to have and can no longer live with out being yours. Well at least I hope others are like this too or maybe I need to rethink my life lol. Well this is what happened to me I went on eBay (why did my tablet come with the eBay app 😕) to look for a new powder brush as my old one has seen better days and I thought I would get a cheap one to do me for now. That's what the plan was but then I saw all these lovely pink brushes and start to think well a lot my brushes have seen better days and they look good and they don't cost that much. Oh and then I saw the lip plumping suction tools or whatever they are called. I keep seeing these and am dying to give them a go even if its just for a bit of fun. I've seen a few posts and videos about them and they all say there about €20 or so but these where €8/8.50 for all three sizes. Crazy so I couldn't close the page I had to buy them. The other brushes where all very well priced too. Actually this whole lot only cost €25 at the most including potage. The only downside is the waiting for them to come so I can play with it all 🙌. I will of course do a proper post about them all when they arrive which should be fun trying out the lip plumper things lol. But for now I thought I would share my fantastic finds.

Brush Egg Review

This little brush cleaning tool I picked up on ebay is great. I hate cleaning my brushes but it's something that has to be done and I am quite picky about clean brushes. 

This Brush Egg was only €1.30 so instantly thought well I give it a go and see if it's any good. Luckily it is good and I got it at a great price. 

It's so simple to use and really cleans the bristles of the brushes properly, getting all the make up out of there. The idea of this is that you put this on your fingers and then using shampoo or whatever you prefer to clean your brushes with rub the brush against the little bumps to get right into the brush to clean it properly. Then doing the same run it under the tap to rinse it all out. 

That's it its all clean and so simple. It's very small and looks great for throwing into a makeup bag for travelling which I really like about it. 

It did however take two to three weeks to arrive which is kinda normal for ebay stuff but when it did arrive it only contained four in the package not the five I ordered, I am getting onto them about that as it's probably just a mistake. Other then that I have now faults with it at all I really do like this little thing.

My new filter bottle

Just wanted to do a little post on something that I have gotten recently that I love and wanted to share how much I love it lol. 

I recently got this filter bottle and am completely obsessed with it now. My sister was ordering one online and asked if I would like one too. It was only about €3 as well so it's a bargain and only took about a week or two to arrive. It's also in my favourite colour pink. It does come in other colours too like blue, purple and green. 

It's the perfect size not too big for a bag but big enough to have for drinking while I'm out. It's also really easy to clean, I hate complicated thing's with lots of parts to them. 

You fill it up with water obviously and then put the filter in and the cap on. That's about it. It's not a really hard plastic as when you take a sip you sort of squeeze it a little to push the water through the filter, but it's not an annoying thing either I sort of do it out of habit now. It's great to have filtered water and not bottled water that I have bought. I'm terrible for buying bottled water so thought this idea was perfect. My other sister loved it so much that she has even ordered one to now and one for a friend.

My New Face Routine

Some times I feel like make up removing products don't always take everything off. I feel limited to what I use as my skin tends to have reactions to certain products so I try not to over do the amount of products I use or change them around a lot.

Most days I don't wear that much make up and some days I don't even bother. I like to give my skin a break once or twice a week from make up. On night's out I do wear a good amount and sometimes break out after even though I have removed it all and cleansed my face. This is where I feel it's not removing it all.

So on a recent trip to Penney's ( I know it sounds like I'm there a lot) I saw these and thought I have to buy them. I think these thoughts a lot and this is why I'm always broke, well that and I keep leaving the country and flying to the other side of the world for a few months. At first the brush felt a little stiff and I wasn't sure if it would be to rough on my skin but once I used it I noticed it was much softer then I first thought and the sponges feel very similar to ones I have bought in the beauty shops. Not bad for €2.50 for both. 

After removing my makeup with makeup remover I applied my usual cleanser to my face and then using the brush I used a circular motion to rub the cleanser into my skin. After I was finished I dipped the sponged in some luck warm water and and removed the cleanser. Each time I wiped of some cleanser of my face with the sponge I used a different part for the next area of my face and rinse the sponge when I needed to. I felt like my face was so clean after and all I needed to do was apply some moisturiser and I was done.

Recent Baking

At the start of the month was my youngest sisters 21st. I was in charge of the cake making. I knew I had to do something different for this one so I went with black icing and neon colours. The best part was the inside. I wanted it to look great when it was cut open. This is why I went with multicoloured cake and cut a hole in the middle and filled it with smarties. I also iced it in chocolate fudge before putting the sugarpaste on. The cake didn't last very long with everyone at the party, which I take as a complement. 

This is the second cake I made which was for my Aunty's 40th Birthday last weekend. I wanted to do something different but girly at the same time. I have been dying to give a sprinkles cake a go for so long. I was afraid that it might go all wrong but in the end it turned out great and I found it really fun to make. I did however get sprinkles everywhere in the kitchen including under the dryer and even found some in my hair later on lol. It seems to be like glitter it gets everywhere. I bought the big bag of sprinkles in Decobake on Bachelors Walk a couple of weeks ago thinking I would need it all but surprisingly I didn't actually need loads. I may have over estimated it aswell and bought a 1kg bag of sprinkles. I have since bought a jar to store them all in and I'm already working out ideas to use them up.

Mini Haul

I went shopping yesterday and it was only to window shop as I really souldn't be buying anything else because I don't know where I'm going to put it. Anyway I went for a little browse in Penney's (Primark) because it's to tempting not to in the off chance I find a bargain or two that I have no choice but to buy as the price is just too good haha.

I did find some bargains actually and really good ones. First I got this mint green top for €1 and then I found these pink runners. 

The top is a lovely green which is one of my favourite colours and it's 100% cotton and really soft.

The shoes where only €2 which is great. They are very bright but I have always loved pink shoes and for €2 where could I go wrong. 

Cocoa Brown Tough Stuff Review

First of all I love the smell of this, it just smells fresh and makes me want to use it even more. Secondly I love that it's pink.

This is one of the best product that I have bought in a very long time. The first time I used it I knew I would become obsessed with it. There is definitely no going back now.

It's described as "A no nonsense 3 in 1 body scrub" used to prepare skin for cocoa brown tan, remove stubborn old tan and as a fabulous exfoliating body treatment.

I have used this for all three of these. Using tough stuff before I applied my tan helped my tan develop without any bad patches around dry areas. I struggle with this usually which tend to put me off tanning. As I suffer with eczema and keratosis pilaris (bumpy red skin that can be very rough) on my arms and legs I have been let down by a lot of products that just don't work for me. This is definitely not one of those products. I used it on dry skin the first time and then on wet skin every couple of days since. 

I expected good results from the reviews I kept seeing but didn't expect how good the results would actually be, my legs and arms especially have never been so soft. I literally kept telling people to feel how soft my skin was .... Like a weirdo haha.

I used it when my tan was fading to help it as it tends to sick to the insides of my elbows and the back of my knees. Oh and also on my hands and feet. Basically anywhere I tend to have eczema breakouts.

I recommend that anyone who wants supper soft skin and perfect tan should give this ago and the results will speak for themselves. I must pick up a new one to stick in my suitcase to bring with me.

What I've been up to lately.

I have mostly been planning my trip or at least trying to. I have also been packing up my room slowly as I keep getting distracted by things I forgot about for getting bored. Obviously I packed the important stuff first haha.

The week end before last it was my parents 30th wedding anniversary so we had a family dinner which I cooked and got a lovely black forest gatau for after. It had to be black forest as that was what they had at their wedding. Unfortunately my dad was called to work that weekend so they had to cancel their party, this is why we had a family dinner instead.

I went to the Bray air show that weekend too. It was a great day even if I came home burnt to a crisp. I was wearing factor 30 but unfortunate wasn't high enough for the sun that day. I burn so easily. I went with my Mam, Sister and Two of my little cousins who had a great time on the amusements. My younger sister was there aswell with her boyfriend and his brother so was a big day out. We found them on the carousel having a great time haha.

I had family in Ireland form Australia over the last month or so and they where leaving to go home so went to see them on their last night.

This was my outfit I wore. A cream dress I have had so years and still love it's lovely for the weather we are having. Cream shoes with flowers on them , flats of course I can't wear heels for a while since hurting my leg. Last but not least My coral bag I got on ebay a few months ago for a bout €9 I think. I also wore a necklace my sister made me.

My make up I tried to keep simple but of course couldn't resist using my contour palette.  I wore pink blush and a gold smokey eye. My lipstick and lipgloss where a light glittery pink. 

My hair was easy to do and love doing it this way. I twist the hair along the hairline on the top and around the back and them plait at the side. so simple and looks summery. I also find that doing this before my hair is completely dry helps to keep it in shape longer.

As one of my Aunty's will be away on holidays when I'm leaving she came down for a few good bye drinks last during the week and surprised me with these lovely balloons. I love the batman one it's huge. We had a great night. Another Aunty popped down aswell and my Mams friend also came down so ended up being a great night in with a lot of laughing.

I was making cupcakes this week for a Hens party. My sister's friend is getting married soon and asked if I would make her cupcakes for the hens party. This is what I made. The cupcakes are vanilla sponge with chocolate buttercream. They are decorated with fondant roses, wedding rings, L plates in pink and white and some purple stencilling. The yellow flowers are the colours her wedding flowers are going to be. 

Last but not least I finally went to see the Fault in our Stars movie. I have been wanting to see it but hadn't gotten around to it yet. I love going to the cinema and love cinema popcorn. The movie was great and having read the book I couldn't help compare them but actually wasn't that far off like other books that get made into movies.
