omg.

ok.

I came up with an idea to do an Easter food themed post because, Easter's approaching and well i like food basically. So i searched around and this picture popped up of a chocolate bird nest cake, and it looked deeeeelish, i had to try it! Now i'm going to be honest here and tell you that i'm a poor excuse for a woman as i can't cook to save my life, for example, I manage to burn pasta... (yes i just admitted that) SO obviously I needed some help, and luckily George is an awesome cook so he helped. Well he had no choice in the matter really.

(who wears the trousers in the relationship...)

So we popped off to the supermarket to pick up the ingredients

Caution: People on diets look away now (im sorry)

We have:

2 packets of Wright's Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix (to make 2 separate cakes)

Vegetable oil (4tbsp per cake packet)

150ml Double Cream

Betty Crocker Buttercream Style Icing

Mini eggs

4 Flakes

We cheated a little bit and brought ready made cake mix but obviously you can make your cake which ever way you prefer. The packet mix was highly recommended to us though so we thought we'd give it a try, plus it meant buying less ingredients haha. 

**Therefore the cake baking part was pretty simple so then came the cream filling, which again was surprisingly simple. All we did was just whisk the double cream till it thickened and smoothed it over the top of one of the cakes before then putting the other cake on top. From here we cut a circle in the middle of the top cake about an inch deep, then covered the entire thing in icing including the hole.

Now's the fun part, break up the flake into little pieces and basically throw it onto the cake (you don't want it neat as it's supposed to resemble a nest). Finally fill the hole with as mini easter eggs as you desire, and decorate however you like.**

(How are cute are those chicks though i got them from Sainburys)

I was a bit apprehensive about tasting it but it tastes oh so good SO MUCH CHOCOLATEY GOODNESS.

Now Enjoy!

I've always been an avid lover of dry shampoos; admittedly mainly because i'm lazy and find washing my hair a chore, and this is the easy option haha (I can't be the only one surely) but also more so this year as festival season is coming up, and i'm in the process of trying to train my hair to not get as greasy as quick.

 Over the past few years i've tried numerous brands like the ever so popular Batiste, Garnier, Timotei.. however i always find myself coming back to Dove.

Although it is a tad more expensive than your classic Batiste it works wonders, and manages to last a lot longer than other brands too so really you don't feel so guilty spending £4.20ish on a dry shampoo. Plus Dove is such a well known brand you know you're getting a good quality product that's going to work well. You know what they say, the more you spend the better quality the product is.

It states on the packaging that it 'instantly refreshes and absorbs oil, leaving your hair beautiful, healthy and full of body' and i couldn't agree more. In the past i've usually found that when using other brands whilst my hair has been freed of oil it just feels clogged with product, with Batiste in particular it leaves my hair a dull colour & matte. However with Dove my hair feels light and freshly washed plus the smell is divine!

I'm useless at describing scents but i would say it smells clean & crisp with a slight hint of talcum powder, and i'm finding myself catching a wiff of it throughout the day, so who needs perfume when you have a head full of hair doing all the work for you!

This is definitely a holy grail hair product of mine and I must admit when it's on offer i stock up majorly, i mean i have 5 cans stored away am i obsessed? yes.

Give it a try, it's sold in most supermarkets & boots.

Take care

Charlotte
