Avon Calling! Advance Techniques Moroccan Aragan Oil Shampoo & Conditioner Review

So I decided to purchase the Advance Techniques Moroccan Aragan Oil Shampoo & Conditioner from Avon. I was advised under the reccommendation of a hairdresser due to the nature of my hair. My hair is thick frizzy and curly and very prone to dryness.
I've used the products a few times now and I am pretty impressed the smell is lovely, it leaves my hair soft and shiny and helps keep the curls in more tact than frizz. You only need a small amount and it is very easy to work into the hair.
However I believe the product is best on thicker hair as I'd say it would just be too heavy for thin hair.

Cookie Monster CupCakes!

So last week the baking bug bite and I decided to make these bad boys! :)
Heres the recepie I used-

Ingredients:
Cupcake mix (makes 6 medium cupcakes)
50g Self raising flour
50g Caster sugar (superfine)
50g Butter or margarine
1 Egg
Butter Frosting:
250g unsalted butter
300g icing sugar
Sprinkle of vanilla
Milk – no more than 4 tablespoons
Blue food colouring
Extra's:
Cookies (any brand)
White Chocolate Buttons
Choc Chips.

Cupcake Sponge Recipe:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (Electric oven | Electric fan oven 160°C | Gas Mark 4) and place paper cases into a muffin tin
2. Using an electric whisk, food processor or wooden spoon, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy
3. Add in the egg, beating it well
4. Fold in the flour
5. Bake in the oven for 10 – 20 minutes. After 10 minutes, check to see if the cupcakes are ready by inserting a cocktail stick into one of the cupcakes. If it comes out dry then the cupcakes are done. If not, pop the cakes back in the oven for a few more minutes. Lift the cupcakes out of the muffin tin and leave to cool on a wire rack.

Butter Frosting Recipe:

1. Mix the unsalted butter, icing sugar and vanilla
2. Add the tablespoons of milk, one tablespoon at a time and stir in well

8. Add choc chips to buttons for eyes.                         

Valentine Doesn't Need To Be One Day.

 Valentines isn't really for me, in one sense I like it because a day is recognised and set aside for basically being nice to your other half and it's all about your relationship. However I dislike it because if your not in a relationship you can feel left out and well pretty crappy (que Bridget Jones Soundtrack).
Instead I think the day could be for everyone by doing one nice thing for someone. Family, friends or yes your partner if you have one but by doing one thing it's showing some love and really that's what it's all about.
