Happy Christmas Eve! Here's a yummy Gingerbread Cookie recipe to give a go if your stuck for something to do! Ingredients  350g Plain Flour 1tsp Bicarbonate of Soda 2tsp Ground Ginger 1tsp Ground Cinnamon 125g Butter 175g Light Soft Brown Sugar 1 Egg 4tbsp Golden Syrup ~ Start by sifting the flour, bicarbonate of soda, ginger and cinnamon together in a big bowl. Add in the butter and mix together with your finger tips until you get a crumbly consistency. Then stir in the sugar. ~ Lightly beat the egg and golden syrup together then add to the mixture and combine until a dough begins to form. Wrap in clingfilm and place in the fridge for at least 15 minutes. The longer the better as this helps the dough keep together when you roll it out later. ~ Line some trays with grease proof paper and pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas mark 4. Next up cover the side with flour and roll out the dough with your rolling pin. Use cookie cutters to cut out your cookie shapes and place on to your line...

Hi Guys! Merry Almost Christmas! Can you believe its almost D-Day? I can't! Today I have for you a very quick & easy DIY gift idea!  All you need are 2 ingredients Coconut oil and Peppermint oil. Whats great about this body butter? 1, its 100% raw, organic and good for you, meaning no harsh chemical are going to be absorbed through your skin and there is no packaging left to dispose of. 2, it smells amazing, good enough to eat, and in fact you can eat it! And 3, it makes your skin feel super soft and moisturised! A perfect present for anyone ! In addition to your coconut and peppermint oils you will need a storage jar, an electric whisk and a bowl. Method The amount of coconut oil you will need to use, really depends on the size of your storage jar. In general you will just have to eye ball the amount but for this size jar, I used about 5/6 regular table spoons full.  Once you have your coconut oil scooped in to your bowl (you can always add more later) you want to begin...

Whats no poo I hear you ask? And no its nothing to do with going to the loo. No Poo, or No Shampoo is basically saying bye bye to regular chemical filled shampoos and conditioners and hello to more natural alternatives. Predicted results is the hair you have always dreamed of! So yes I want some of that! A little bit o'history. Up until the late 1800's people were recommended to only wash their hair once a month. Decades later when the first synthetic shampoo's were invented, people began washing their hair every two weeks. Sounding gross yet? In 1970 it became the norm for people to begin washing their hair every day thanks to clever marketing and sales pitches and since then (I don't know the exact statistic) many, many people, including myself (for years till recent) wash their hair every single day. And all these modern day shampoo's that tell us that they can fix dandruff, dryness, etc can in fact be the very thing that is contributing to all your hair and scal...
