Barry M polishes Review

Hey people.....
Victoria here,

One of my lovely readers requested for me to do a review on my the 3 Barry M nail polishes I got. Barry M polishes have a wide range of collection, the polishes i got were from the Gelly collection and the clear polish was just from the normal collection.

Grapefruit:
This colour is a really pigmented colour although i have 2 coats they are very light coats and 1 heavy coat would do just fine. This colour last long and has a great shine. To make the polish last longer on your nails use a topcoat on top. 




Top/base coat and nail hardener 3 in 1:

This polish is a great base coat hardener and top coat. 
Makes the nail polish last way longer when its on

Prickly Pear:
 This polish definitely requires a 2 coats to make it opaque because 1 coat with definitely not make it opaque. This polish is long lasting especially when you have a good top coat on. The colour is a really nice lilac color great in the spring.

Chocolate Chip Vanilla Muffins

Hey people...
Victoria here,


FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD !

So i thought it was quite time i did a foody blogpost and chocolate chips in things seems to be my favourite type of baked good. And chocolate chip muffins/cupcakes seemed to fit right in. These is my favourite recipe for these muffins. I have tried various recipes for these muffins but this recipe seems to be by far my favourite so lets get to it.

REALLY SORRY FOR THE LOGO OF THE CAMERA APP THAT I USED 'RETRICA' (btw really good camera app great if you need a timer)

ADAPTED FROM:
Link: http://moroccanfood.about.com/od/dessertsandcookies/r/Chocolate-Chip-Cupcake-Recipe.htm  for more information on these muffins

This recipe makes 24 large cupcakes and 36 small ones
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour 
2 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of salt
1 cup milk
200g chocolate chips or finely chopped chocolate. I used dark chocolate because it has a better flavour in cakes better than milk chocolate but which ever you choose its up to you.

Preparation:

1.Preheat your oven to 375° F (190° C). 

2.With a whisk or mixer (i used a mixer because its a lot faster and easier), beat the butter and sugar together until light and creamy

3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each egg being cracked in.

4. Stir in the vanilla

5. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the flour mixture and milk to your egg,butter,sugar and vanilla mixture. Beat until a smooth,thick batter forms. DO NOT OVER MIX

6. Add your chocolate chips/chunks and stir in well so all parts of your batter get chocolate chips/chunks

7. Line your muffin tray with cupcake liners.

8. Spoon or ice-cream scoop your batter until 3/4 full. So basically a half but a little bit more

9. Bake in the oven for 15-17 minutes until set and golden brown.


10. When your cakes are done insert a toothpick in the centre the tooth pick should come out clean. If melted chocolate comes out on the toothpick thats okay its just the chocolate chips that are melted but no batter should appear on the toothpick


11. If baked throughly places your cakes  on your cooling rack and allow to cool completely


Side note: I like to keep my cupcakes in the fridge for a bit until the chocolate chips have hardened because then theres a slight crunch to them lol.

Store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for several days, or for longer in the freezer.

If you do make these cupcakes please share your recreations on twitter or instagram using the hashtag #vickybakes :)

Paris ❤️

Hey people....
Victoria here,

I really apologise for not posting for a while because last week i was in Paris. Which was totally amazing. It was are school international trip so i got to go with my friends which was so much fun. We went to the notre dame, napoleons tomb, the Eiffel tower, the lourve in (which the mona lisa was in), Disneyland, arc de triomphe and SO MUCH MORE. Although so parts were erghh sorta bad like the hotel we stayed in getting robbed (including my room) and stuff and me losing my phone in disneyland, prices of drinks were so high but most parts were amazing. I made new friends and unforgettable memories. 

View from 2nd or 1st floor of eiffel tower) v v v







This is my little eiffel tower trophy for climbing (with stairs) to the 2nd floor of the eiffel tower. One of my best-friends bought it for me, her and another friend. I never knew my i was that scared of heights until i climbed the eiffel tower. I was half way to the 1st floor and was having doubts until one of my friends  encouraged me to go on. Then on the 1st floor i was pretty certain of going back down but another one of my friends encouraged me to go on as she was scared of heights too but we helped each other on the way up. But im so glad i did it cause it was spectacular and a great view.
