My Favourite Tan!

If you've been following me on twitter for a while now you would've already heard me praise Bondi Sands as my favourite tan! Well... Here goes another post to rave on about how much I love their tan and how it makes me feel! 

Bondi Sands has never let me down. I trust it for all my special occasions. That's one of the best feelings a fake tan can give you, trust and confidence. You know what your getting every time you tan up! I have the confidence that I turn out looking 10X better and 100X more confident in my own skin in a matter of hours! 

Its easy to apply and glides on effortlessly. I feel like a golden goddess the next day and can not tell you how it makes me feel. I've always loved a tan but was never one for burning my skin in the sun - especially now we all know the dangers! I know I can achieve that gorgeous glow to make me feel complete with Bondi Sands. 

I feel sexy and glam every time I tan with Bondi Sands and that's why its my favourite tan!!

Whats yours?

In Honour Of Afternoon Tea Week

As I've been reading, this week is honored with one of my favourite things, Afternoon Tea, I thought I should share with you some of my favourite afternoon tea outings and share my favourite afternoon tea experiences! 

Who doesn't love afternoon tea? 

My Mum and Dad are hosting an incredible afternoon tea party this month for my Grandma who is turning 80?! I'm really looking forward to it and can't wait to share the photos with you! 

This afternoon tea was to celebrate a family members birthday at Christchurch Harbour Hotel. It was stunning and so pretty to be right on the water front!

 My first afternoon tea experience was from my sister who bought it as a Christmas gift for me and mum to experience with her. It was at the beautiful Four Seasons Hotel in Hampshire. It was set in such breathtaking surroundings, I took so many videos to show everyone and I really fell in love with the place! The food was delicious and I left feeling like a princess!

Where are some of your favourite spots for Afternoon Tea?

Mummas Tropical Flapjack!

Today I thought I'd share with you something my Mumma loves to make for our family and I must admit shes pretty damn good at it as even the crumbs get eaten in our house. We're lovers of her tropical flapjack and today I thought I'd share it with you all. I think this treat is perfect for this time of year when its cold and rainy outside or even whilst hovered over a bonfire watching fireworks this golden delight just melts in the mouth and we can't get enough of it! 

Now, as always when I write a cooking/baking post I have to put it out there that we are not professional cooks/bakers and we just do what works for us. Apologies if it doesn't work for you in the same way, but with this recipe it should, I mean how hard can mixing oats be? 

Tropical Flapjack: 

Serves 16

My family really love these flapjacks for a sweet treat, we love to add coconut to ours for a tropical flare.

Ingredients:

225g of oats

50g of butter

75g of sugar

3 tbsp of golden syrup

and any other dried fruits of your choice

- I must start by admitting that we didn't stick to these measurements completely, we had a little bit extra so we threw a bit more in here.

Method:

1. Light oven to gas mark 4

2. Lightly grease your tin

3. Measure sugar, butter and golden syrup & tip them into a saucepan

Tip: have dry ingredients already weighted out so you just have to add them in as you go.

4. Melt sugar, butter and golden syrup over a low heat stirring well

5. Mix in your measured oats

6. Add in any fruit of your choice. 

We added sultanas, dried apricots, coconut and cherries.

7. Mix well making sure all the oats are covered and coated

8. Place mixture into a baking tin 

9. Pat mixture into a baking tin to ensure the oat bind well together for a packed bite

10. Bake in oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Leave to rest for 30 minutes to firm up.

Tip: Score the flapjack while warm to get even squares when cutting later. 

Extra: Melt chocolate and drizzle it over the baked flapjack to make it extra special.

Perfect winter treat!
