Disney Wonder Linen Spray

Wonder by Disney is a fruity sweet subtle scent designed for a baby's nursery and bedroom linens.

I am absolutely in love with this spray and spray it several times a day all over my house - I have even sprayed it on myself as a body spray, it is that delicious!

The scent is a wonderfully sweet scent - like marshmallows or candyfloss with a hint of apples and adds a lovely comforting smell to your room and linens.

The bottle is nothing less than a masterpiece! Its chunky, simple and well made . The bottle is clear with only the logo and Disney picture (Bambi and Thumper!!!!) on the front with a shiny gold cap.

Wonder Linen Spray also comes in a gorgeous cream and gold sturdy gift box which is unbelievably cute and I cant bear to throw out!

You get 125ml of spray per bottle for £8 which I think is very reasonable especially as it seems to last forever! I've had mine for 2 months now and still have over two thirds left.

The only downside I have found is that the smell isn't long lasting but I have just seen that they have added a candle with the same scent to the collection and this may be better to use along side the linen spray as a room fragrance. Cant wait to try it!! :)

Upcycled Noticeboard

 

 

Aloha! So last Friday on my first day off from work I decided to deep spring clean the kitchen! Cray cray, right!? While tidying up the dumping corner I rediscovered my whiteboard behind a million papers and cook books looking rather sorry for itself - I decided to rehome it and give it a sparkling makeover :)

 

I took it up to my craft room and raided my drawer of Washi tapes (seriously, you NEED washi tape in your life!!) and within 5 minutes I had recovered the bland wooden frame and turned the noticeboard into a cute shabby chic floral masterpiece.

 

I also gave it a brand new home within our kitchen! Previously it had just been propped up against the wall on the work surface and would either keep sliding down or get hidden behind junk. I used a set of Command Strips and pinned it to the side of our fridge - ideal to keep track of meal plans and add to a shopping list while we're rifling through.

 

And voila! a very inexpensive way to upcycle a dull noticeboard.

 

 

What's the best use you've found for Washi tape?

 

 

 



Chocolate Chip Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Centre's

The other week I fancied a little naughty treat and decided to make these light and fluffy chocolate chip cupcakes with gooey peanut butter centre's!

 

They turned out perfectly! Super light and moist (ok, they are a little burnt around the tops but they didn't taste it!) with a hidden surprise in the middle!

 

To make these you will need:

 

100g sugar

115g butter

150g self raising flour

1 egg

Chocolate chips or chunks

Peanut butter (I used crunchy)

 

~ Preheat oven to 190°C and grease a muffin tin

 

~ Cream butter (I softened mine first in the microwave a little) and sugar for 1 minute (I used my electric hand mixer)

 

~ Add the egg and beat on low until combined

 

~ Sift in the flour and add chocolate chips or chunks and mix together with a wooden spoon (or spatula or any other tool you have handy!)

 

~ Scoop a small teaspoon of mixture into the muffin tin, then add a small spoonful of peanut butter and then top with another spoonful of cake mixture.

 

~ Repeat until muffin tin is full (my mixture made 6 generous sized muffins!)

 

~ Cook for 15mins or until golden brown.

 

~ Devour while still warm!!

 

 

I'm so excited - I've finally took the plunge and ordered myself a beautiful, shiny stand mixer! Just waiting for it to arrive - cue lots of baking, treats and recipes very soon!

 

 

Have you tried making these? Let me know what you think :)
