How to stay KAWAII in the snow

Hey frosties,

as you've all noticed, we've been hit by Jack Frost!!! 

Now snow can ruin anybodies hair day. So today is a tutorial about how to stay kawaii during a snow day! 

1. Hair styled up. 

Now I know it seems more romantic to have your hair curling graciously down your back in a cascade of waves. But let's be realistic, if you straighten or curl your hair, the snow will melt on it. What happens to styled hair when it's wet? Well if you straighten your hair it's going to become a wet frizzy mess. Or if you curl your hair, the water will wash away your hard work. 

The best thing to do here is have your hair tied up. You can put them into cute little buns or a sleek pony tail. Get creative! But once it's up, it's safe! 

2. Makeup! 

It will be inevitable that you will incur snowball fights, maybe you will get one straight in your face! Who 

knows! But speaking from experience. Snow ball fights get messy... Real quick. 

Therefore invest in some good water proof makeup. During this winter I've been going out foundation-less. No makeup besides mascara. So if you know you're going to get messy in a snowball fight, take off the slap but keep the mascara on! It looks like you've done your makeup, when really you've spent about 1 minute on it. If you're worried about your skin, try using face masks! I'm not joking you can get some in boots for £1. And they make your skin glowwww! 

Try it! Make sure you aren't allergic though! Always read the ingredients! 

For the mascara? I'm seriously in love with this little bad boy:

Go to your nearest department store and give it a whirl. I bought it for £23, but I think the price ranges from £21-26? 

However you can also get a high street brand mascara that also is quite lovely and that is the L'oreal Paris manga eyes! 

Which is only £8.99, so a real difference in price!

3. Stay warm and dry! 

You want to stay cosy in this hard cold weather, best way is a nice thick jacket! You can tell all those flu's and colds to do one! Now I know you're probably scared of look like an igloo? I had the same worry. So I bought one with a really furry hood! The thick black fur framed my face and maybe me feel all cute and furry! Not only that but people will often stroke you like a cat! 

These are my 3 main tips. Now go have fun before it all turns into mush!

The finest Tart

Hey Cherries!

So today I was with my pals Philip, Zoe and Elysia and we decided to make an apple pie! Whoop whoop!

We used Nutmeg and Ginger so it smelt all festive and shit! How lovely!

So here is a tutorial of how to make it! 

1. First we cut up the apples! 

Cut them finely, thin enough so you can stuff lots of Apple in your pie! Make sure you cut the core out! Don't want you choking on some seeds ^.^ 

2. We then bought "just rol, shortcrust" pastry. And roll that out really thinly! This is so the pastry cooks faster! 

Then place it in a tin, we used a flan tin as we went to Tesco and they didn't have  a tin for pies but they did for flan.

3. Mix the ingredients! Then we used sugar, nutmeg and Ginger and mixed them together!  I used 3 table spoons of sugar and then a load of nutmeg and ginger until it smelled of Christmas spice! If you want you can use cinnamon, that's especially Christmassy! Except I'm allergic to cinnamon! 

4. Place the apples on top of the shortcrust pastry in the tin, in a circular motion, as this will maximise the amount of space for the apples! 

5. Then sprinkle with lots of the sugar mixed with Christmas spices! 

6. Pop the top layer on and smooth it out. 

Then use a fork to put some holes in the pie top, to let the pie breathe and to stop it puffing. Then crimp the edges with a fork to give it a cuter effect and seal the pie lid.

7. Then pop the pie in the oven, at 200•c for 40 minutes 

8. When it's time, take it out the oven, using a cup underneath the tin, to remove the top layer. Let it sit for 10 minutes!!! And then eat ittttttt<3
