HOT CHOCOLATE IN A JAR

As you will be aware I love to bake and this is especially the case at Christmas. I have always loved the baking goods in a jar and I wanted to show my hot chocolate in a jar. Nearer to Christmas I actually want to write a blog post showing you how to create five different hot chocolates in a jar with different flavours that I love. But for the moment I want to keep it simple and just show you my basic hot chocolate in a jar which is so pretty and anyone would love to see it under there tree.

WHITE CHOCOLATE CHUNK BROWNIES

So I have been telling you about this series I am going to do each Thursday and they are all going to be about homemade Christmas gifts which will really impress your friends and family. I thought I wouldn't go into anything which is too Christmassy because I know it is still October and most of you don't want to think about Christmas at all. So I want to share with you my white chocolate chunk brownies which are so good and can obviously be made all year around but they are great gifts for people you work with or for friends.

I love baking brownies and this dark chocolate brownie recipe with surprise white chocolate chunks are amazing for this time of year. I love to give these as gifts around the holidays because who wouldn't want to indulge their sweet tooth with a warm chocolate brownie and a hot chocolate. These are so moist and are definitely a treat every now and again ...

SCARF-OBSESSED ...

I just want to first of all apologise for not blogging at all for the last two weeks. My laptop once again broke and had to be fixed and I got it back last Sunday and then I was quite behind with my Uni work and spent most of my week studying and preparing for seminars. But I am not up to date with all my work and I can turn my attention back to my blog. I know its not a Wednesday or a Sunday but I wanted to write this as I feel like I need to make up for not blogging over the last two weeks.

So I have never really been into wearing scarves, as I never thought they looked good on me and all the scarves I like are either Alexander McQueen or Burberry. Obviously I cannot afford either and right now I've gone off them and I don't know why. I think it is because they are so expensive and I prefer to show you all affordable pieces of clothing that you can also go and buy. So I try to keep a balance between expensive and affordable products.

But recently I have gotten into scarves and especially Primark scarves, as you are all aware I go into Primark quite a lot and I buy the essentials from there, like my jeans, leggings and long sleeve tops because they are so cheap. And I can't afford to spend £300 on a pair of jeans that will only last a few years. I always use to buy my Mum scarves for her birthdays and Christmas, and when I use to buy a scarf for myself, I would always give it to her. But I was in Primark the other day and just fell in love with this scarf ...
