DIY: Homemade Yogurt

Hello all!

I like to vary what i have on my blog, so i thought why not share some recipes that i know with you! It's a recipe that me and my mum found out about, and we've been using it non-stop.

This is a really easy recipe too, so all you need is:


  • 250ml of plain yogurt (per 1litre of milk)
  • A litre of milk (you can have as much as you want)
Method:
  1. Get a saucepan and put it on the hob of your oven and put the milk you want into it.
  2. Then boil the milk until its bath temperature (so you can put your hand in it without it burning.) If it is still on the hob and it is hot, then just leave it to cool until its bath temperature.
  3. Then add the yogurt and just mix it in!
  4. Next, you want to put it into a fixed jug/container and place it near a warm object (radiator.)
  5. Lastly you want to leave it for 10-12 hours in a fridge this will make the yogurt (if it curdles a little, then just mix it with a spoon and it'll be fine.)
TOP TIP: This recipe only makes plain yogurt but if you'd like a different flavor then when you have the yogurt, add some jam to it. This can be strawberry/raspberry jam. But make sure you add a fair amount in as a little bit doesn't add that much flavoring to the yogurt.

I hope you found this recipe helpful and you try it yourself as it's really easy!

Talk you you soon...

Collective Online Haul - Spring -

Hello all!

Recently, I've been shopping quite a lot because of all the recent products that have come with early spring, so i thought i would share with you all what i've got myself. I did go into some stores, but if i would've included them then this post would be so long!

In a couple of weeks, I'm going to be going shopping again, for summer clothes, so I'll instagram you all with what i get then!

So here we go...


Asos- I got this really cute bag which has this interesting design on it, and that's what really struck me about it. It's quite a big bag, and i personally use it for my P.E equipment for school, but it will hold many a things within it. Here it is: http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Cat-Shopper/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=3374450&cid=8730&Rf946=2246&sh=0&pge=2&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Pink  

         - I also got from Asos, a normal black tee. This was for my dance performance, but it also does well just as an everyday tee for lounging. Here it is: http://www.asos.com/ASOS-Petite/ASOS-PETITE-Boyfriend-T-Shirt-With-Rolled-Sleeves/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=3929781&cid=4169&Rf-300=1944&Rf937=2428&Rf-200=4&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=204&sort=-1&clr=Black ( I could only find the petite one)

Cath Kidston - Basically, I'm in desperate need of some new bags, so (again) i purchased a new bag for my music books/instruments as my last bag didnt fit everything in, but needn't did i know that this one didnt either, but still it only JUST fits in, so it'll have to do for now. I love the cute design on it; but i guess that's what CK is all about! Here it is: http://www.cathkidston.com/kempton-rose-bookbag/bags/cath-kidston/fcp-product/1012286 (It's on sale, but not in stock:( But you can get it in another colour in "Bags."

                      - I have also purchased a set of two wallets for storing my work. I've noticed i've been needing more of these because i have had a lot of work recently, from school. It never hurts to get some anyway - especially if they're on sale! Here it is: http://www.cathkidston.com/set-of-2-king-street-rose-and-little-star-a4-printed-wallets/home/cath-kidston/fcp-product/1008392

Amazon - Since everyone has been getting this, i thought i'd be a sheep and get it too. Yes it is "The Fault In Our Stars" and wow am i amazed by this book. It is just tragic, and it emotionally moves you (well it moved me.) I recommend it to anyone, as it really gives you an incite to reality and how just little things can make a big difference. Here it is: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fault-Our-Stars-John-Green-ebook/dp/B007Z8ZKS2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394830523&sr=8-1&keywords=the+fault+in+our+stars

Here's one of the things i got from a store (hollister) and it smells divine:* 

QQOTW - Have you read "The Fault In Our Stars?" - I'd really like to know because it's just an amazing book, and if you haven't read it i recommended it! ( I know no one really answers the questions, but still it's always there if you want to answer:D)
I will talk to you soon....

My Morning (School) Daily Routine (Products I use)

So i thought for my first (proper) post i would do an idea that came straight to my head. This was of course to do my morning daily routine, product wise, so i'll get right to it!

So the first thing i do is go have my wash and i use a varied amount of products when i'm getting washed so i'll inform you on them. So on my hair i just use a normal conditioner and shampoo, and the ones i am using right now are: Herbal Essences (Soft & Smooth) Shampoo and The Superdrug Raspberry and Macadamia nut conditioner. These both just make your hair smell lovely! The look just makes your hair, look...well normal, i guess. Whilst in the shower/bath i like to use the "I Love...Mango and Papaya shower gel." It smells gorgeous (you can tell from the title of it) and that's what made me really want to buy it. Then lastly i use "The Body Shop - Strawberry Body Polish." Just like all of the other Body Shop products, it smells marvelous. Previously i had the Satsuma Body Polish and it just makes your skin smell lovely and after (when you've had your wash) you body smells delicious and is smooth!

So after when i have had my wash, i like to cleanse my face, this helps to brighten up your face and just wake you up. It will also help to get off any dirt that you have on your face. I have used so many different kinds, but after a gift from Christmas i have been using "Clarins Toning Lotion" which is a marginally worth more, but is worth it! When i have applied the cleanser, i then just like to put on a lip balm of my choice. I have a slight addiction with lip balms of all sort, but right now I'm into the baby lips collection and I've noticed that I've been using the "Cherry Me" flavor a lot. This product gives you a reddish tint to your lips, without you having to apply any red, heavy lipstick (which i find is great for every day use and school) and it moisturizes your lips too! I don't usually apply foundation, blusher or concealer when I'm just going to school, so I'll have to include ,on another blog post, which ones i use on the occasional event. Then the last makeup product i use on my face is mascara. Depending on the day, i like to use different one's but my most used one is the "MUA - Mega Volume Mascara In Black." I have recently discovered that i have surprisingly small eye lashes, so this mascara helps them to be lengthened (or look longer.) Most of the time i apply the mascara on the top and bottom lashes. I very rarely use eyeshadow for school, this is mostly because they have strict rules and i really dont see the point; like i said before i will be sure to include the ones that i do use in another post.

I like to smell nice in my mornings (and i guess you do to) so to do so i use the "Nivea Double Effect Violet Senses - Antiperspirant" and this will help to make your armpits stay nice and fresh for up to 48 hours! *WOW* Still on the topic of underarms, i also like to use the "Vaseline aloe sensitive - antiperspirant deodorant" and i have recently invested in this deodorant because it smelt fresh and i love Vaseline products and as i came to use it, it really did do the job well and is just the topping on the cake! Lastly, i finish with a sprits of something and on day to day use, I've been using "The Body Shop, White Musk Sun Glow - Eau De Toilette" and I've chosen this because it just gets me into the summery mood. Thinking of the weather (it has been wonderful) this perfume just really get you in the mood for the sun and the beach and all things that come with summer!

After all that i go to school!

Thank you for taking your time to read this rather long Morning routine, i put my time and effort into my post, so anybody who is to follow me or like my posts would be really appreciated:)

QOTD: What is your favorite summer perfume?
I'd really like to know because i am in need of some summery perfumes.

I will talk to you all soon...

First Post

Hello!
My names Charlie (short for Charlotte) and this is my blog,
i just thought to myself -
I love writing [TICK]
I love fashion [TICK]
I love beauty [TICK]
I love blogs [TICK]

I just love all of the above and i thought would better way than to express this by starting a blog about it!
I will be posting once a week and may gradually get to two posts a week, but not yet.
I am going to be putting my heart and soul into these posts, so please no hate, and if you are one person who dislikes my posts, please exit yourself from my blog, as i have no burning eager to find out who hates my blog and why. If you have any advice for me, i would be so happy, as I'm quite new to this!

I can't wait to start posting, but in the mean time i will talk to you soon, goodbye :)

Charlie♥
