Swedish Cinnamon Buns | Blogmas Day 4

Christmas time and winter in general is baking time for me. I love trying out different new recipes, making traditional Christmas biscuits and just generally have the flat smell of delicious baked goods. And what better smell could there be than that of cinnamon?! Right, there's nothing more Christmas appropriate, well scented and delicious! That paired with my growing obsession with everything Swedish, it comes as no surprise that I chose to make some Swedish cinnamon buns. OH EM GEE they are good! And there's nothing complicated about them either! So here's what I did.

My Ultimate X-Mas Playlist | Blogmas Day 3

Blogmas

No Blogmas would be complete without a Christmas Playlist right? So for Day 3 I thought I'd share with you my ultimate list of songs that get me in the festive spirit. I listen to these songs over and over again throughout December and don't even get tired of them. It's a good mix of classics and more modern songs, as well as one special Christmas song all German children grow up with and hold dear. I personally have a love/hate relationship with Wham's Last Christmas but I feel I can't do a Christmas Playlist and not include it, so rest asured you'll find this absolute 80's classic on here as well. I'm gonna leave you to have a listen yourself now and go bake christmas biscuits with this on full volume. Laters! :)

Blogmas

Gosh another two months have passed by without me finding the time to even recap them on here! I don't know how life got so crazy busy all of a sudden?! I feel like I'm just rushing from one big milestone/ exciting moment to another without so much as a blink of the eye! Is this adulting? Then boy it's exhausting!

There hasn’t been a Favourites post on here in a while due to all the chaos with the move and the (still non-existent) internet in my new place but there’s so many things I’ve been loving that I just had to put a post together! I feel like a proper grown-up with this list of favourites! It’s so full of adult-y stuff! Let’s get into it shall we?

Ghost Bites | Halloween Brownie Recipe 👻

food

Happy Halloween guys! :) I personally LOVE Halloween - always have, always will! There's just something about a day of dressing up in scary costumes, eating gross looking (yet delicious) food and just generally enjoying the mysterious air of the day. When I was kid, I used to have Halloween parties at my house where my mum would serve us meals like 'blood soup' aka tomato soup and 'severed fingers' aka frankfurters with ketchup - pretty great huh? So inspired by the olden days and my mums gory food ideas I went on Pinterest and had a little look around for what I could easily copy for my own Halloween party tonight. There's sooooo many great treat ideas on there! I had a really hard time deciding what I wanted to do but finally decided on these cute little Brownie Bites.

My September in Retrospect | 2016

Lifestyle

Wow, I’ve really been absent from this blog for all of September AND most of October haven’t I?! But what with starting a new job and moving to a new city and the consequent lack of internet in my flat ever since (I’m trying reeeaaally hard not to complain about certain internet providers here.. I’m looking at you especially Telecom!) I just didn’t have a chance to post. I missed it though, as there’s so much to tell you guys about! So let's recap September:
