Happy Sunday! Hope everyone had a lovely Valentine's Day! I'm back again with another hot chocolate recipe! This time it's Peanut Butter White Hot Chocolate and it's so delicious! Again you only need a few ingredients: milk, peanut butter and white chocolate. As with last weeks recipe, I decided on the Ghiradelli melting wafers, but you can just use white chocolate chips if those are easier to find. Put some of the white chocolate wafers into a bowl to microwave in fifteen second ...

NYX V’Amped Up Lip Top Coat – Review & Swatches
Yesterday I stopped into Ulta to pick up the Intense Butter Glosses (Review and swatches for those coming soon!) and decided to grab the new V'Amped Up Lip Top Coat. It's a black glossy lip pencil, which deepens the color of whatever lipstick you're wearing. The above swatches are using the NYX Butter Lipstick line, with V'Amped Up on the left and without on the right. The only thing I wish was different was the shape of the pencil, it needs to be a sharper point to really be able to ...
Raspberry White Hot Chocolate
Welcome to the second post of my little hot chocolate series this month! I've always loved white chocolate and raspberry together (Have you ever had Cheesecake Factory's White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake? SO GOOD.) so I thought it would be a great drink! It's another simple mixture, all you need is milk, white chocolate chips (or melting wafers like I've used here) and imitation raspberry extract. So as with the Reese's Hot Chocolate, first fill up your mug of choice with milk and pour it ...
Study Abroad Must Do List: London
So I decided to make a list of all the things I think are must dos for when you're studying abroad in London, or even if you're just visiting! Obviously the main sights are a must, like Tower of London, Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace, but there’s so many other things to do. My school actually had a variety of activities set up for their students, from walking tours, a pub crawl, a weekend in Edinburgh, various plays and day trips. I really loved that they wanted to help us get to know ...
NYC Haul
When my sister and I visited New York City back in December I knew I wanted to do a bit of shopping, as one does in NYC. I thought I’d check out the stores we don’t necessarily have here at home and pick up a few things. I didn’t plan on stopping into NARS, but I’m glad I did. (My bank account feels differently, I’m sure.) I knew exactly what I was looking for, the gorgeous Velvet Matte Pencil in Red Square. I had been coveting the red orange color for quite a while now, but it always seemed ...
