Perfect Hot Chocolate Recipe

One of my favourite things about Autumn and the run up to Christmas is making hot chocolates and snuggling up in my onesie and relaxing in the evenings with candles burning. Cadbury hot chocolate is my favourite to make at home but my all time favourite flavour is the White Hot Chocolate from Costa and I can't wait for it to be available again. This is my favourite hot chocolate recipe and I actually learnt this method in my job and I've also had a lot of practise so I know that this is the perfect hot chocolate. You can use whatever hot chocolate brand you want, Cadbury is my favourite so I'm using that one.

I am pouring a sachet of hot chocolate into a mug and then I am pouring milk in the glass so it reaches the same level as the top of the handle. Then I am just giving this a stir and then placing in the microwave for one minute. After it has been in there for a minute, I am stirring it again and then putting it back in the microwave for another minute. After the second minute I am going to stir it one more time until all the little lumps of hot chocolate are gone.
For the topping, which is the best part, I am using some whipped cream and creating a mountain of whipped cream on top. The best way to do this is just squeeze a bit onto the centre and around the rim of the glass and then build up the cream in short bursts, turning the glass round so evenly distribute the cream.
Then you can finish by adding any other topping you wish, I am using butterscotch pieces to adorn the top of the cream.
Take your hot chocolate and enjoy!

Every time I make hot chocolate I always think of one song and start singing it and that is the Hot Chocolate song from The Polar Express. If you have no idea what I am talking about then watch this video, it's great!

How To: Apply False Nails

Image
Hey guys Today I thought of doing a quick post today. Today I wanted to do a 'How To' post and this one is Applying False Nails. Even though it's easy, you need to do it properly so they look as natural as possible. And I'm going to tell you how I apply my false nails. You need: False Nails (you can get them cheap in supermarkets, makeup stores etc) Nail Glue (most nails come with glue, but you can buy glue at Superdrug for around £4 ( www.superdrug.co.uk ) Cuticle Pusher or cuticle stick Nail scissors (curved work best) Emery board 1) Begin by selecting the false nails that best fit your natural nail. It needs to be accurate because it will look more realistic. 2) Use a cuticle stick/pusher and gently push your cuticles back to avoid the nail sticking to it (which, will hurt if you take them off!!) If you want, you can cut the cuticles off. 3) Apply nail glue all over the natural nail. Be careful with the glue - it bonds in seconds, difficult to remove

MUA Cosmetics Review

Hey everyone Last week for my birthday, I went shopping and while I was in Superdrug and I  picked up some things from MUA (Makeup Academy). There are some products here I haven't tried, one product I have but not this particular name. I actually fell in love with this brand when it was a very small company when everything was £1! Then the company expanded which made me very happy and so I tried   these products and I have mixed reviews. The first product I am reviewing is the BB Cream. This is £4 in the MUA online store ( www.muastore.co.uk ) or in Superdrug ( www.superdrug.com ). I wanted a BB Cream because I find foundation is too heavy and is bad for your skin and I started to go off tinted moisturizer. Anyway, for the price in general is OK for the product. I bought Shade Medium last week and I think this is a bit too dark for me even though the medium and light shade are very similar. The BB Cream is easy to blend. For me, this is going to be mixed with something light
