Exams Start & Holiday Season in full swing

Just a quick update on things before I start posting all the fun holiday posts I have planned.

 I've been getting up at the crack of dawn recently due to the end of the semester and the start of exams. Ohh the joy, I've being seeing this every morning I wait at my bus stop, so why not see what I see at 7:00am.                                                                Thank god I'm nearly through with packed buses, rushing to classes and all the labs and papers. I have an exma later tonight at 7pm wish me good luck!!                                                                             Thanks for reading!!

Homemade Pretzels

Happy December!

It's been a very busy week and it's only going to get crazier as the terms ends and exams start. Also everything just gets a little bit more hectic with the holidays fast approaching.

On to the post!

So when those cold winter nights hit and you want something warm to eat thats not heavy and works great with tea, how about a pretzel.

My brother taught me how to make these from his cooking class and the best part you can make them just the way you like.

We made two types a garlic, herb butter pretzel and a sesame pretzel.

It takes about 10mins in the oven and the secret here is to brush some baking powder-water mixture on top to help them brown faster.

 Delicious and simple.

                        

Ruffled Fiesta Nail Design

With exam week finally done and written my last exam Friday I just had to do my nails. I've been through withdrawal the past week trying to keep focus on studying and not designing my nails.
So right after all of that I had to try a new design. I was inspired by chalkboard nails, when I stumbled across her tumbler and her beautiful designs. This design caught my eye and I recreated it but in my own way. I named these based on south America and the salsa dresses I've seen.

To do this simple nail design all i got were the colours i wanted to use and then i used my dotting utensil which in my case was the end of a bobby pin and started to put dots start across my nail in rows of colours. You contiune to do that and you will see the effect, its really pretty for the summer.
