Tanya Burr Cookies

Hey guys,
So today I made some triple chocolate cookies from Love Tanya (Tanya Burr's book). I did not have everything on this list and I also tweaked the recipe to my personal preferences so I thought I would share what I did with you.

ingredients:
210g of butter
220g of sugar
30g of artificial sweetener (because I didn't have enough sugar)
1 medium egg
300g of self-raising flour
a dash of milk
65g of cocoa powder
100g of chocolate in squares
100g of chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Cream the butter, sugar and sweetener together then add the egg and the dry ingredients. Also add the milk if the mixture looks too dry. Now break up the chocolate and throw it in.
line 3 baking trays with baking paper.
I have found that this makes around 24 smaller cookies
spoon the mixture onto the baking trays making sure that they are quite far apart because they will spread. then pop them in the oven for 11 minutes.
take them out put them on a cooling rack, and enjoy!

Tanya Burr Cosmetics Candy Glam Pallete

Heya guys, so this blog post is going to be about the Tanya Burr Cosmetics Candy Glam Palette there will be a picture of mine below.

This set comes with 9 eye shadows ( snow flake, starry night, crème brulee, baking brownies, date night in paris, teddy bear, plumberry, ballet slipers, chandelier ) a blusher ( pretty peony ) a bronzer ( beach bronze ) and a lip gloss ( daydream ).

Good things about it:
- all of the eye shadows are really wearable colours.
- the lip gloss is not sticky at all.
- the eye shadows, blusher and bronzer are all really pigmented.
- the lip gloss is the same size as the ones from the advent calendar so you can swap them around.
- it comes with a little handy mirror.
- it closes magnetically so it doesn't open when you don't want it to.
- it is very well priced and definitely worth the money.
- the packaging is really pretty.
- the shades have really cute names.
- there is a mixture of matte and shimmery eye shadows.

I don't think that there are any bad things about this palette and it is all round amazing!

sorry about the quality of this photo, I had to take it on my web cam because my camera has gone weird.

Hello Blogging World!!!

Hi guys,
so... this is my blog. I'm not sure how often I will be posting but I think it will be around once a week.

Why did I start a blog? (you may ask)
well...
originally I wanted to be a youtuber because I watch a lot of youtubers ( professional and amateur ) so I wanted to give it a go my self, talking to a camera about beauty, makeup, baking and what ever I wanted. I filmed a few videos but really struggled to upload and edit them so I kind of gave up on that idea.i also decided that doing youtube was a bad idea because there is a girl in my year at school who has a youtube channel and she gets teased about it a lot so I thought doing a blog, I could keep my identity hidden. 
About a month down the line I decided to start a beauty instagram account I'd  had a personal account for around four years but had seen a lot of beauty ones. so I decided to call mine @fabulously.floral (go check it out) I now have 274 followers and I am really proud of my self seen as its been going for a month and six days.
I also notices that a lot of beauty instagrammers had blogs so I decided  to start one and here it is, you are reading it now!
Well done if you have got to this stage because the boring bit is over!

Holly
