Baking in a mug!

Recently I've been craving all sorts of baked goods. However, I find tidying up after baking the biggest chore ever. But, I've discovered that you can bake in a mug.

Firstly, it's one/two servings so perfect snacks. And secondly you mix everything in the mug so minimal mess.

I've tried only cookie in a mug and brownie in a mug so far but you can get recipes for 18 other recipes here.

Brownie in a mug

I'm actually not a huge fan of this recipe as I find it comes out a bit like rubber. But lots of people love it.

Cookie in a mug
Now this recipe I love. It's obviously not as good as the cookies myself and Millie made but still delicious!

I hope you all enjoy baking in a mug. Feel free to drop us an email at twoblondes90@gmail.com with your recipes.

Palmers Natural Bronze Review

So the other day in boots I was searching  for a gradual tanning lotion, as my Holiday to Cyprus is fast approaching and I wanted to get a pre-sun bathing glow (and a head start on my competitive mum!) 

I ended up going for this bad boy:

At first I was skeptical, as I pumped it out the lotion itself was white and the inviting smell of cocoa butter in no way resembled the smell of fake tan. 

I decided to give it a go (expecting no change) and the next morning - to my surprise - my legs were a beautiful, non patchy, natural golden brown. (Admittedly my hands were deep orange and my feet were white , but that was soon sorted out with some extra appliance and some intense scrubbing with a pumice stone!)

I would strongly recommend this product as it is perfect for any fake tan newbies, I just urge you to apply all over and wash your hands after appliance. 

This product retails at around a fiver but I managed to snap mine up for half price at £2.40 from boots, not only is this a fantastic product, but also a bargain!

Speculoos Spread

I have been meaning to write about this for so long! I thought nothing could take over from nutella but this does! I am a long time lover of the lotus biscuits and thought this would be amazing, and it certainly didn't let me down!

I'm a bit weird in that I never put nutella on anything, I prefer to just eat it from the jar with a spoon, and I do the same with this. Perfect snack, although I will warn you it is unbelievably high in calories!

Also I do not know why it says PASTA on the jar...

AND at the moment you can get a free one when you buy one. They come with a sticker on the top and you can send it in the post and get sent one - AMAZING

Waitrose is now a permanent stocker.

Enjoy everyone!
