Review on Fujifilm Instax Mini 8

Hey Guys!

Today I am gonna do a review of this Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 camera which is basically a Polaroid camera! I got this yellow one for Christmas and I think it is really good!




Here are a few pictures I've taken with it! I write the dates on them with a sharpie to go with my way of displaying them which I'll talk about later. But I think these look really cute and so tumblr! 


In the picture above is how I display my pictures, if you cant see all I do is write the dates on, get a wooden peg (my ones are from thing-me-bobs) and attach them to the string that I have put up above my clock. 



A lot of people restrain from buying these as they say the film is expensive which I sort of agree with because the film is about £10 for ten shots depending where you get it from. However, I think that if you use them carefully and sparingly its not that much. Also, my camera came with 20 shots so if you get packs like that its not to expensive.

The actual camera is about £60 again depicting on where you buy it. My mum got my one from Currys. There is also a range of colors mainly pastels though. There is pastel yellow which I have, pastel pink, pastel blue, white, black and there is also a mint green one that I've seen on instagram.

Thats it for this post, tell me your opinions on this in the comments!

Brookie recipe!!

Hey Guys,

Today I am going to be sharing a recipe for bookies! If any of you read Lily Pebbles blog you would of seen this, but today I am going to share it with you because I made these the other day and I really like them! They have a really nice texture and they're not to sickly so you can eat quite a few at a time! ;-) This recipe makes quite a lot so if you don't have many people in your family/house maybe half the measurements!




You will need: 
85g good quality cocoa powder
400g caster sugar (I had run out so I just used normal sugar)
125ml vegetable oil
4 eggs
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
60g icing sugar


Instructions:

1.In a bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, caster sugar and vegetable oil. Beat in the eggs one at a time and then mix in the vanilla. Then combine the flour, baking powder and the salt and  stir into the mixture. Cover the dough and put in the fridge for about 4 hours. But if you are in a rush this step is not needed!

2. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees / gas mark 4. Line a baking tray with grease proof paper or parchment. Pour the icing sugar onto a plate, make small balls and coat them in icing sugar to give them a snowy effect when cooked.

3. Cook in the oven for 10-12 minutes.

If anyone makes these let me know in the comments below what they was like! See you soon guys!

byeeeee!

Review on Soap and Glory:Hand Food



Hey guys!

Welcome to my first proper blogpost I am really excited to share my thoughts with anyone that is willing to listen!


Today I am going to do a review on the soap and glory hand food.
This is one of my favorite products in my skincare collection. I picked this up in boots a few months ago for around £2.50 which is a bargain for this product.

This is very hydrating and non-greasy. It is quite small so I find it is great to just put in my bag in case my hands get dry throughout the day! When it is cold my hands become quite patchy and pale with lots of red veins and I think this really evens out the skin tone on my hands. I also think it has a great name and packaging.

However i don't really like the applicator because it makes the product come out like string which is quite strange so maybe one that come out in dollops would be much better!

Thanks for reading, if anyone has any recommendations or different favorite hand creams let me know in the comments down below!
