ORIGINS SKINCARE

Hellooooooo, I'm back with a little skincare post for you all

After seeing alot of raving about Origins products all over social media I just HAD to get some for myself to try out. 

I thought why not get some products for what I thought my most problem areas are - dry patches on my cheek area and dark under eye circles that I hate ever so much. 

- Origins GinZing refreshing eye cream

 Got to say it does what it says on the tub, brightens and depuffs. I've definitely felt from using this in the mornings my eyes have been a lot brighter and refreshed. Sometimes because of my work pattern I have to mix it up and use this as part of my night time routine, and I've found dark under eye circles although not gone have been a little lighter in the way they look. 

I do find the texture of the cream quite thick and it does look like a shiny film for a little while if you use it just on its own - which I don't see as a problem as always use a moisturiser afterwards which blends and works well.

- Origins A Perfect World Antioxident Moisturizer with White Tea

This stuff smells INCREDIBLE, I absolutely love it!! I can't describe it that well, sort of a tangeriney, sugary, sweet smell haha I don't know! But its amazing.
The texture is lovely, not to thick and not to light. My skin really soaks it in well and feels really soft, hydrated, lovely and refreshed afterwards. It certainly looks and feels healthier.  Even the dry patches on my cheeks is under control which is a plus.
 Although I find it don't use this or something on it regularly it does come back but whack a little of this on overnight and its gone! Putting on my makeup has become easier to and looks alot better now my skin is properly hydrated. 

As you can tell - this is definitely my favourite out of the two and will 100% be repurchased, but are both part of my daily skincare routine now

Have you tried these Origins bits? or any other products you recommend?
I'm itching to try something else

A NICE PLACE

Hey All, how are you?😀

Sometimes, its nce to find yourself a quiet setting to just relax in. If you have me on instagram ( which if you don't, you totally should btw😃 _gracie92 ) you would of seen I posted a few of these photos the other day.
I took a couple of hours out to go and enjoy the lovely sunshine we was having, have some quiet time and spend some quality time with my little one. We had a lovely walk around these garden by Nottingham Victoria Embankment, not entirely sure on there name. I really love it here, its so peaceful, still and calming - gives your mind chance to relax. Alex enjoyed it too, having a gander at all the different trees and surroundings. The water feature was his favourite, such a shame the fountains weren't on though to make it more magical. I love the sound of water fountains- bliss!
 I'll be honest though, of course he had way more fun on the visit to the park afterwards haha.
As part of Mental Health Awareness week I'd like to stress the importance I find in having to have a quiet moment or a nice place to visit (not necessarily the gorgeous holiday we all dream of) just to recharge for  little, collate your thoughts and enjoy the surroundings... its weird I like this place as I'm actually not a huge nature lover. Maybe thats changing? 

I had to have this moment, as I was over-excited and was also overly stressed at the same time and taking the time out to not think about those things for a little did a world of good! I felt ready to get my organising non jumbled thinking cap on afterwards for the exciting things that are about to happen soon!

We even saw a squirrel! Which as I got my camera out ran further and further up the tree, so I arrowed it to help you out haha 

And of course, had ICE CREAM!
mhhhhmm!!

do you have a nice quiet place you like to visit?

SUMMER CLOTHING WISHLIST | BOYS

To continue with the theme, here's a follow on from my previous post, Highstreet Summer Clothing Wishlist because as much as I love buying clothes, I really really enjoy buying clothes for my little one too. Its more exciting buying for your kiddies I think! 😀
We already have a few bits left over from last year but whats wrong wrong with having a few more.
ps - his actual wardrobe has way more in it that mine haha!

GEORGE at ASDA

I'm really loving George and there T-shirts at the moment, some really cool patterns around to jazz up the summer outifit! I like adding fun to the outfit with a funky bright top. I'll be honest, I have already bought the bottom two t-shirts😀 I think the Nemo has to be my next one as I really love the pattern!

HandM

I COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EYES WHEN I SAW THESE FLAMINGO SHORTS, I was in awe! Only because now we can be all matchy-matchy as I've actually gone and bought the flamingo trousers in my wishlist haha

Next also have some lovely espadrilles and shoes that I want to invest in for the upcoming season. I'm a huge fan on next items for kiddies as they are good quality and seem to last Alex such a long time :)

Where do you shop for your kiddies clothing?

HIGH-STREET SUMMER CLOTHING WISHLIST

Who isn't always on the hunt for some new clothes? I know I always am, especially when the seasons are changing! Theres just so many pretty things about at the moment, here I've put together a few  alot of the things I'd really love to be wearing this year, mainly tops and most of it from New Look as I feel there killing it right now! So how about I start with the items from there😀

Quite a few different patterns and colours there but its good to have a mixture, something I've learnt recently as used to stick to what I knew and not venture out from my comfort zone.
If I had to pick my favourites; they are the Denim Shirt, White Crochet Kimono, Denim Jeans and yellow top. I mean, that was hard to choose haha!

Quiz Clothing

I popped into our local store the other day on a whim and totally fell in love with this multicoloured dress! It'd be perfect for a beautiful summers day or on holiday dressed up or down!

Stripes seem to be a theme haha, I do really like them to be honest...

F&F at Tesco

My love of flamingos continues to grow with these trousers, would look lovely with a cute white cami (heart emoji). On that note, River Island also have some cute camisoles at the moment but as I already have alot here didn't want to include more.

Probably a spend of a good £200 - best get saving for a huge shopping spree haha

As you can tell there are no shoes here, thats because I'm really struggling to find any I like at the moment, any ideas?

What would love to be wearing this summer? or have you brought any of these already, what do you think? 

 Happy Shopping x

NEW L'OREAL BUYS | THOUGHTS

Two years ago I WOULD NOT have been to say I've bought a different brand of makeup to try. But now, I'm always on the hunt for something new. 

These are a couple of my new recent pick ups by L'Oreal, A brand I'm really starting to fall in love with! (heart eyes emoji)
-  L'Oreal True Match Foundation in shade 2N Vanilla
- L'Oreal Miss Baby Roll Mascara in Black

I'll start with the foundation :)

Wow, Don't think I've ever used a foundation like it before. When I first popped it on it was so light feeling compared to others I have used previously, not cakey like at all but decent coverage that hides all my blemishes, I have worn it all day (12+ hours) and its still be visibly on but the coverage worn off a little. It does what it says on the bottle, very blend-able with other products you wish to use to complete your look. I didn't notice when I got it but it has a slight glow/shimmery pigment within it that I really love as it give me a little extra brightness.
I've never said this about a foundation before, but I would happily wear this just on its own and no other face bits if was go for a natural day but wanted a little coverage.
My only little gripe is I did find it a little more watery than other foundations I have used and I seem to use a a few more pumps that I'm used to, so we'll see how long its going to last. 

Other than that, it's still a foundation I would definitely recommend and also repurchase.

Now for the Mascara...

I always have trouble finding a mascara that adds extra curls, volume etc so always willing o try something new, so when I saw this on the shelves I just had to give it a try and I do like it! but its not a love product. The cutesy packaging is adorable and the curl roller brush on the wand really makes it different from the rest. I do really enjoy how it applies the mascara to my lashes.

I didn't feel any extra curling benefits from this but more the voluminous effect with every lash coated, opening up the eyes and lash lengthening. I found it drys well and lasts all day which is a great bonus but also so easy to get off at the end of the day.
I'll be honest I don't feel there is a lot to rave about with this mascara and not sure it'll be something I'll repurchase but its always good to give everything a go.

The great thing about both of these products is they are both under £10

Whats your experience with these or other L'Oreal products?

SPRING MAKEUP | PART 1

So the dream is, wavy beach hair, sun, sea, sand, pretty clothes and beautifully bronzed makeup. But for now stuck in the UK in my cosy jumper because spring doesn't quite know what its doing yet!
 I've got myself a favourite everyday make up that is a little more natural with a pop of colour.

I feel this is alot more toned down to what I usually wear eye-wise, would be more toned down without the eyelilner I know haha! But we know I can't go anywhere without it!
Nonetheless, a perfect everyday look, that is also very diverse and you can jazz it up or tone it down as much as you like.
Some ideas; Without eyeliner or maybe a brown/coloured eyeliner would alter the look completely or add golden glitter and extra highlighter to change it up again

. Perfect for those of you with holidays coming up, quick, easy simple and pretty.
This is something defo I'll be wearing on my holibobs in august when I'm not wandering around makeup free.

Product Used

Foundation - Rimmel True Match in
Concealer - Maybelline Eraser Eye in Light
Setting Powder - Rimmel Lasting Finish in Light Porcelain
Contour and Highlight - Tanya Burr in Champagne Shimmer and Caramel Kisss

Mascara - Lo'real Volume Million Lashes in Black
Eyes - Makeup Revolution Flawless palette - Soft Glow, Rimmel Natural Bronzer in Sun Bronze (022) and Collection Bronze Glow in Shimmering Light
Lips - Lo'real Gold Obsession in Rouge Gold 

I call this part one as you all know me, always changing my makeup so I'll have a couple more of these throughout the spring summer time😀 

Whats you favourite makeup combo at the moment?

GET YOUR MOJO BACK!

HEYHEY!

Lack of motivation - It happens to us all at some point or another, whether its once a week, once a month etc and sometimes it results in a complete slump where you can't seem to follow through with any plans or things that need/want to be doing. Now, the reason for this slump could be anything, tragic life event, mental health struggles, parenting struggles, being overwhelmed, woes and worries about all situation presented to you at the time, or general can't be botheredness (have better things to be doing haha)

I, myself have had my fair share of slumps and believe it or not I'm not the most positive person but I try and thought I'd give you a little insight of tips I use to get myself feeling a little more motivated😀

images found on google - inspirational quotes

100% have that DUVET DAY - I support the lazy day, I support the dwell on it day and I think you should make the most of it. Eat all the things you want, chocolate as well, nap, release all the emotions, binge watch films and TV series and a pamper sesh if you feel like it. It all helps to relax your mind and being able to think a little more clearly.
As a parent this isn't always easy but you can still be lazy, and eat all you want, then once they've gone to bed you can use this time for binge watching etc.

Mind Over Matter and put things into perspective, ask yourself the why's and the hows. Can you control whats happening? Can you help or need help? Talk to someone, make a plan, write a list or have routine to keep things ticking over. 

TIDY HOUSE, TIDY MIND something I live by, if my key areas aren't organised I get super stressy and the parts in my brain just gets all jumbled together.

Go Out, Get out and about doing stuff, make plans, family days, friend days, shopping days. Anything that's abit different to your usual tasks to add some fun to your day. I've found this has helped me quite alot recently!
I find as parent it can get quite intense and stressful and I know all I need is a some time out the house alone or with friends just to remind me that being a mummy isn't my only existence.
See what we've been up to recently here and here

Have a Project/Goal Have something to work towards, something your excited about. Mine is currently looking for a new home, can't tell you how excited but nervous I am about it haha. 

Music put on your favourite tunes, have a dance a round, put all your effort into the lyrics. You'll be amazed how uplifting your favourite music can be. Alex and I love a good dance (jumping around) around the living room letting loose.

Eating, Sleeping, Exercising as well as you can. I've found I've always felt better when I've done these, maybe not so much the exercise part but you get the jist. Sleeping better and eating better has upped my energy levels giving me a better outlook on being able to be motivated for the day.

Morning Routine My morning routine is pretty staple in my day, it means my day is planned and my thoughts are collected and prioritised, of course it won't always run smoothly as I like but its always a good start. If your not a morning person have a good night time routine, find your key moment in the day to collect your thoughts.

You will be Okay - always remember that, no matter what life throws at you in the end it'll be all okay (even if its just for 5 minutes) 

Well those are my little motivational bits I like to tell myself quite regularly, and although I'm quite tired I'm actually feeling quite motivated to get something done.
-With that in mind I think I'll be cleaning the oven tonight haha what fun right? Not. I know haha!

Do you have any tips to share I'd love to hear them, it also might help someone else too 

Lots of Love

GIRLS NIGHT OUTFIT

Sometimes all you need is some quality time with your bff, get yourself a little glammed up, a few drinks and quite a few selfie haha!! This is exactly what I got up to last night 😄
I don't get to do this half as much as I like and really do cherish the little moments where I can spend some time with my friends talking all things girly...

I really did enjoy myself and felt confident and snazzy in my outfit ( as it covered all my non-favourite bits haha), here's a little snippet...

The top was my only new purchase from River Island and I'm so in love with it, the broken shirt kind of look. I'm all about the cold shoulder at the moment too and think its going to last me right through the spring/summer-so many ways to wear it and items to wear it with. See it here. Leather-look leggings and Boot from New Look.
Teamed with a dark lip to make your look pop I wore Black Cherry by Revlon.
The dressing up part can be the most fun, right? I love getting ready for a night out.

Can't wait to do this again!!  

What do you get up to as part of girls night?
xx

ps - heres a funny fact, I left the price sticker on my bra all night!! so glad you couldn't (hopefully) see it through my top haha 

A-Z OF MOI

Hello you lovely lot! 

I've seen this floating about on social media a few times and thought I'd give it a go myself: as there is a few more of you around here, getting involved, why not learn some silly little things and some serious things using A-Z? Fun (cringy) right?
Time to put my thinking cap on...

ALEX 

The main little guy in my life, my son, my 3 year old. Although he drives me CRAZY alot at the moment - wouldn't have it any other way! 💗

BLOGGING 

Of course this had to be here! Its a part of my life now, something I really enjoy doing, something thats just for me. Did you see my post on why I like to blog?
clickhere

CHINESE FOOD

Always my preferred takeaway and I usually order sweet and sour chicken balls, beef curry and egg fried rice with prawn toast on the side. 

DANCING

Its weird to say this- I actually love to dance haha! Once upon a time I wanted to be a choreographer but NO I'm not good haha! So these days I enjoy a good boogie in my home with Alex to the cheesy hits playlist on Spotify or on a night out with the girls.

EYESHADOW

Probably my favourite thing to buy in my makeup collection. 

FLOWERS 

Up until recently I was never a fan of flowers whether thats buying my own or being brought them, but now I just want to fill my house with them in lots of pretty vases that I actually need to invest in.
Although still prefer to buy my own

GROWING UP?

I was stuck for so long in a vicious circle with myself and wanting to keep everyone else happy that in the last year or so I've done so much growing up and changing its weird haha! My personality has developed, my likes and dislikes have changed, my family and friend relationships have changed whether thats grown closer or fallen apart. I've created goals and ideas for myself and know exactly what I want from life and will no longer accept any thing less than I deserve.

Woah, abrupt-much I know!

HARRY POTTER

Harry Potter geek fan right here! Have been ever since I read the first book. The best thing about it is that Alex loves Harry Potter too. His favourite film is Chamber of Secrets mine is Prisoner of Azkaban although its such a heard pick.

I/ME 

I've been trying and failing at doing more for myself this year haha, its abit of a focus to spend more time on self care and being selfish.

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE AND JENNA DEWAN TATUM

JT is the Man, my ultimate celebrity crush! *heart eyes*
Jenna is just body, face, family goals right?

KETCHUP 

I don't have it with everything but I do love ketchup with my eggs in the morning.

LIES

I HATE lies. After alot of experience from many 'loved' ones It only hurts and causes more problems when the truth is found out. Its just not a nice thing to do in general.

MAKEUP 

 Another obvious one, but it still shocks me how my makeup ways have changed in the last 18months and how I'm not stuck in the sameoldsameold products and look everyday. Its nice to have the choice to mix it up and develop my skills (if you can call them that haha!)

NIGHTS IN

These days I much prefer a night in, in my pjs, with all the food and a film, all cosy on the sofa/bed.
Don't get me wrong a night out once in a while is good too!

OREOS 

Favourite. Biscuits and Doughnuts just yum!

PANIC ATTACKS & ANXIETY

Something I have suffered with for quite some years and its definately not as bad as it used to be so thumbs up to that! I wrote a post about my experience last year
clickhere

QUOTES

Oh how I love a good quote, you can always find one to fit any situation and/or feeling. I find most very inspiring or motivational or even make you think in a slightly different way.
I currently have one on my bedroom wall 'Everything is better in your pyjamas' true right?

ROUTINE 

I love routine, I like my life to be as routined as it can be and I like my days to be planned out. If its not or something goes out of sync its stresses me out so much!

SLEEP

Before Alex sleep wasn't important, I barely slept. About 6 weeks after Alex's birth I began sleeping alot more than I ever have. Although my sleeping pattern is not great I do love sleep alot more but always tired at the same time

TATTOO 

I have 5, 2 quotes, 2 tribal heart thingys and a robot. Random I know. Theres so many other I'd really like in the future.

UNDERWEAR 

I actually weirdly really enjoy buying underwear, bras and pants - that kinda thing! Although what I have at the mo is nothing to write home about haha

VOICE 

I believe everything voice/opinion/thoughts should be heard when there are two sides to a story.

WALKING

Yep, I love to walk not in a trekking up a mountain kind of way but a walk in the fresh air to clear your mind.
When Alex had a pushchair as baby I never once set foot on any form of public transport with it - walked everywhere - luckily I live not fair from the local city centre so the walk was nice.

X RAY 

Could X be for anything else? I couldn't think of anything.
I believe I've had one X-Ray in my time, at a time when my anxiety was telling me there was something wrong with me.

Yellow 

This has been a total surprise to me, but I'm really getting into the colour yellow, home decor mainly. Next have some beautiful yellow homeware in at the moment. 

ZOO 

I don't think I've ever been to the Zoo but I'd really like too in the near future. 

Well that was fun and hard haha! Would love to see if you do something like this!
I'll be back next week with a more normal kind of post :)

WINGED EYELINER CUT CREASE?

When boredom strikes, we play with our makeup! Well I do, anyway!

When having a good old scroll through Instagram like you do, looking at alot of the makeup bits - I came across a video where a person claimed to be bored of there winged eyeliner and winged it round into the crease for a change.
So a sort of cut crease winged eyeliner look I guess?

So my inspiration has been taken from there and I thought I'd give it a go as we ALL know I'm a big fan of black liquid eyeliner and wear it day-in-day-out as part of my makeup routine so why not see if I can style it another way?

First Thoughts

- Wow, this is hard
- Oh no! its smudged *wipes off and starts again*

- Maybe it'll look better with eyeshadow

- Hmmm lets try the pinks I've never used

- Smudges again 

- Why can't I do both eyes the same?
- Odd

To be fair, I don't think it looked that bad, but I don't think it'll be something I'll do as part of day makeup, maybe as a night out or fancy dress! I also reckon it'll look nice as part of a dark smokey look.
I did however really enjoy using the pink eyeshadows, don't know why I haven't reached for them before- will add to these to my summery makeup go-to's. Something fresh and bright, also very different for me. 

Makeup Used

Foundation - Rimmel Lasting Finish Powder Foundation in Porcelain Light (001)
Concealer - Maybelline Eraser Eye in Light and Collection Lasting Perfection in Fair 1

Highlight and Contour - Tanya Burr Beautifully Defined Palette
Lips - L'oreal Sexybalm in Bold Adventure (202)
Mascara - Soap and Glory Thick and Fast in Film Noir

Brows - Bad Girl Sleek Palette in Black
Eyeliner - Maybelline Master Precise (top) Collection Extreme Felt Liner (Bottom)
Eyeshadow - Too Faced Chocolate BonBons Palette - Cotton Candy as base - Totally Fetch as definition 

Have you tried this before, what did you think?

HUGE THROWBACKS | PHOTO EDITION

Hey! Hope you've all had a lovely week? 

So this week, I got onto looking at some old photos of myself as a child/teenager and thought why not share them with you! I mean I love having a nosey into these kind of things, I hope you do too.
I've really loved going through these photos- its brought back some funny memories and also great to see how I have and haven't changed all at the same time. Also I can't believe how similar Alex looks to me haha! 

I didn't realise I had so many pictures of me, my friends and I, or the raw pictures of being a mummy with a newborn- for my eyes only though haha!

It took so long to write this post as I kept getting so distracted look back through photos.

I don't know the years these were taken, but this is where I see Alex in me so much, we look so alike as kiddies- my hair took so long to grow when I was little.

This is one of my oldest friends and I - I mean we were all about that 90's fashion and matching everything from hair to clothes haha! I feel like we all had this haircut at some point though! I remember I loved that teddy and it was't even mine, insisted on having a photo with it!

Theres a lost couple of years here, so fast forward to about age 14. Out comes the full fringe that I really tried to sweep across my face but just never looked the way I wanted it too, then the change in hair colour game, bits of red, bits of purple, full head of red.

I don't know what possessed me to do an at home 'photo-shoot' looking like this haha other than the fact I LOVED those shoes that I couldn't actually walk in. At the time these were taken I really liked the first black and white one, but looking now I think the one taken off guard is abit more natural and real! Its amazing how views change.

Fancy dress nights out with one of my besties, one of my favourite pictures of us💕

A professional type of 'photo-shoot' for a friend and her college project. This is one of the photos I really like- how street style haha!!
Although you'd never catch me wearing anything like this these days!

I'm currently using this photo for body inspo and how I want to look again by this summer haha, a glow and some definition. At this point in life, Age 18, I was confident with the way I looked and felt.

The biggest change and best thing to happen in my life :) 30 weeks in this picture!

Now its us against the world!!
Looking back at ALL my old photos has shown me the importance of taking photos and storing them as it gives you so much happiness being able to look back - I haven't stopped smiling. 

I'd love to see some of your throwback photos! How about write a post? Let me know so I can have a read - tag me on twitter @_gracie92

WHY BLOG ??

When I began Graciesworld in 2015 I made the conscious decision to share it with my family/friends via a Graciesworld Facebook page within 2 days of launching. 

At the time the support was incredible, Although alot of questions have been asked over a course of time the main ones are -

 "Why you doing that?"
"Whats the point if you aren't being paid?"

Well, the answer is pretty simple, when I began blogging I was at a very strange place in my life, going through abit of change within my own life and personality, growing as person as such. I have always loved reading/writing and with alot of encouragement I thought 'Why not give it a go and see?'
It became an escape! Something I look forward to planning and delving into every week (sad I know) but a place where I'm able talk about all the things I like, also a place to document things I want to remember and look back on. Alot of you know, I have a son and although his pictures and chats of him don't feature very often, behind the blog its encouraged me to take more photos and get out and about doing things and combat parts of my anxiety.

Basically, I blog because I enjoy it, for me. whether I have readers/followers or not - all of that is just a bonus!

I can't really talk to my 3 year old about my makeup haha!

Blogmas was a huge step for me but also a great motivation and made me see how much I love my blog and all the behind the scenes work that goes with it. As I was blogging everyday I got asked if i was being paid for said posts - no I wasn't, it was a fun little stressful challenge I set myself and was super proud of by the end😀
 If ever in the future, payments became part of this thats just be a huge bonus.

As I look back, I can certainly see how my posts and writing style have changed and how much more confidence I have in myself both on and offline. This little online focus has helped me through some terrible times and developed me as a person in terms of confidence, being a little more relaxed, a tinsy winsy bit more fun haha, working on self-care, I've found things I like about myself and I found things I enjoy doing | e.g - experimenting with makeup as before was same old routine day in day out.

Sometimes a post can take from 1 hour to a week+ to be ready, but I love the whole hustle and bustle. I've found something thats mine and just for me, I love that!

I'm all about going with the flow and enjoying what I do when it comes to Graciesworld!

Thanks to all the readers, the comments, the likes, the shares- I really do appreciate it

Lots of Love💗

If you have a blog, I'd love to hear why you blog? 

PANCAKE PICKS

I don't know about you but I LURRRVE pancakes all year round, but you can't deny there is just something exciting about pancake day- the only day where its acceptable to eat pancakes from morning till night if you wish. I personally prefer mine as a brunch-y kind of meal- and its only 2days away now.

Guess what? It also means that spring is on it way!

Over the year I've experimented a little more with different toppings and thought I'd share some of my favourites with you😀

ps- I'm no where near an expert at making anything, no measurements included (choose your own) just pour and see how many you get from it - winging it! Making it super EASY PEASY

You will Need :  

- Plain Flour
- Milk
- Egg(s)
-Butter
- Choice of toppings/filings

-Mixing Bowl
- Whisk/Fork

 Such a great way to get the kiddies involved!
Add the flour, Milk and Eggs into the mixing bowl and Mix Mix Mix with whisk/fork to create a smooth runny batter (but not too watery)

I like to use the butter in the pan as an alternative to oil, I think it gives the pancakes extra taste and if you get it right crispy edges.
*Feel free to use any other alternatives to oil that you prefer*

Blueberry Pancakes

This, without a doubt, is the one I tend to make the most - its so yummy. Adding blueberries into the mixture which as they cook, the skins pop and let the blueberry juice run into the pancake. Adding some sugar on the top to add a little sweetness and wa-lah your all done!
Why not try adding some extra honey? 

Chocolate & Strawberry Stack

For the chocolate lover inside! Add some chocolate spread into your mixture and you've got yourself some yummy chocolate flavoured pancakes. In the chocolate stack above, I popped MilkyBar white chocolate yoghurt on the bottom layer, strawberries in the second and crumbled Oreo on the top! Oreo's are my absolute favfavfav biscuit in the world so why not add them onto a pancake? It was delish!
Chocolate Heaven... right?

The Classic

Of course, you CANNOT have pancake day without the classic lemon and sugar! A much lighter filling than the chocolate stack. I've got to admit I much prefer the lemon juice from a fresh lemon than a bottle. I like having the extra slices to squeeze as you go. It also looks really fancy - something to pull out if your having a pancake party? Is that a thing? I'd love that! I'm definitely going to do this one year haha

Will you be making your own pancakes this Tuesday? Its so quick and easy-I can't wait to have them again. Still working on Alex, he doesn't seem a fan no matter what topping I use, this makes me kinda sad haha!

 I would love to know what your favourite filling/topping is?

The choices you have are endless. 

Happy Pancake Making
