DIY Gift Wrapping | Blogmas Day 20

I wanted to make a little more of an effort with my gift wrapping this year, so I decided to get crafty! I have quite a few homemade gifts to give away this Christmas and there's no better way to give them a nice packaging, then to put them into little gift bags. So I thought why not get creative with them?

DIY Foot Mask | Getting Ready For Spring

DIY

I'm coming at you with another beauty DIY today. I don't know about you guys but I just love trying to make my own beauty products at the moment. Many are incredibly easy to make and use only ingredients that are super easy to get hold of. This one here for example uses only 3 ingredients that every corner shop will have in stock and buying them won't break the bank either. I'm pretty sure buying a foot mask is more expensive then simply making one yourself.

Coffee & Sugar Body Scrub | Beauty DIY

DIY

We're slowly but steadily going into spring now. The weather is getting warmer and after what felt like an eternal winter to me, we can finally put away our big coats and dress a little lighter, show a little more skin and enjoy all the vitamin D. To get my skin spring-ready and looking fresh I've been using this homemade body scrub, made from everyday ingredients we probably all have lying around the house. It's also cheaper than most store bought body scrubs and you know 100% what's in it! Well, here's what you'll need:

DIY Autumn Decorations

Autumn

Gosh I can't believe that this is actually the first little DIY I post on here! One DIY in eight months of blogging is a bit underwhelming really but I think as it's now autumn, my favourite!, and the festive season is drawing closer there will be a lot more crafty things on here! Today I wanted to show you the little things I made (and picked up) to make my room look cosy and autumnal and maybe a little halloween-y.

How To: Pumpkin Spice Latte

Autumn

It's that time of the year, where Starbucks brings back the pumpkin spice latte! I always really enjoyed a cup of steaming hot pumpkin spice latte on my way home to keep warm and because I have a massive sweet tooth. Recently however I read an article about Starbuck's hot beverages and the kinds of ingredients they put in there (without disclosing them!) which - to say the least - put me off their flavoured coffees a bit. Basically it shouldn't even be news to me that a sweet coffee from Starbucks isn't the healthiest option out there but only now did I really think about it. However the craving for pumpkin spice latte was real, so I had to do something about it! And that's why - with some googling and testing things out - I found myself a recipe that's super quick and easy and at least as delicious as the one from Starbucks (with the benefit of knowing all the ingredients in my drink!)
