Pancakes have always been one of my favourite things to eat. It was always a sweet treat to look forward to at the weekend when I was a child, I remember waking up to the sweet smell and I knew that my mum was busy downstairs baking us all up a treat. Recently my mum bought a madeleine tin to make traditional madeleines, which I had never had before and omg they were amazing! Then one day the random thought of pancakes shaped like madeleines popped into my head, who knows how or why😂? Anyways I thought I would try making a slightly thicker batter than my usual pancake consistency and luckily they worked and were a huge hit with the family. So if you are in the mood for a sweet treat or wanting something slightly different on Shrove Tuesday (aka pancake day, aka best day of the year)! Then why not try this edible goodness. Ingredients:  125g Self Raising Flour 1 Large Egg 130ml Semi Skimmed Milk 5tsp Sugar Coconut Oil Spray or Butter to Grease Tin Nutella Pack of Chopp...

Picture from IMDB Star Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆ A timeless tale from the beloved TV drama series that had most of the world sitting down in front of their TV screens on a Sunday evening and maybe enjoying a scone or two. Downton Abbey, now a major motion film, will have people enjoying a nostalgic moment with the wit and beauty of the characters and the old English ways of society. The opening scene will be familiar to those fans who have been watching since series 1, as we see multiple shots of a steam train, along with other English iconography heading towards an established shot of Downton Abbey. Additionally, let's not forget the classic theme tune by John Lunn playing through the opening credits. As fitting with a period drama, there is romance as a new maid captures someones eye and a love triangle forms between three servants. Furthermore, will Thomas Barrow (Robert James-Collier) finally find true love or will the tests and trials of society intervene? Crime and my...

Anthropologie is one of those shops where you just want to buy EVERYTHING!!! Especially the decor. However, it is a very expensive shop and being a student it's not one that I tend to shop in. It's more of a place to walk in and imagine what things would look like in your house or as my mum likes to say "it's like walking into an art gallery". Therefore, I've come up with a way to have the 'Anthropologie Look on a budget'. I found this gold jewellery holder with an imbedded mirror at a lovely shop called Cowley House in Cirencester. It is a gift shop, so there are many different brands and the piece I got is by a brand called 'Sass & Belle'. The hanging piece coast me £8.99 reduced from £12.99, so you can already see that you are saving a big amount of money. Additionally, I found a jewellery hanging for £88 on Anthropologie. Unfortunately Cowley House is closing down, so if you are in the Cirencester area I recommend to go in quic...

Ultracomida is an authentic Spanish Delicatessen in the heart of Wales, which is very random and I love it because it adds a fun twist to the Welsh towns. So if you are wanting fluffy patatas bravas, crunchy fresh fish, a traditional Spanish tortilla, a super thick creamy Spanish hot chocolate and much more then don't hesitate for a moment if you spot an Ultracomida!   It's a small chain, as there are only three of them. One is in Narberth and the other two are in Aberystwyth and Cardiff. The one in Cardiff is actually called Curado Bar, which is slightly different to the other two as the layout isn't a delicatessen or restaurant, it's a modern, industrial bar but serves the same authentic Spanish food and drink. I've been to the Narberth Ultracomida a few times now and the Aberystwyth one once. As you enter the building you come into the delicatessen and shop area where you'll find a selection of meats, such as salami, chorizo, ham etc. They also have...
