Baking

 I haven't baked for a while, thanks to A Levels, but after seeing a couple of overripe bananas in the fruit bowl, I just had to bake some banana bread. My first ever banana bread - a mix of dark and milk   chocolate chips. I have no frame of reference, but it was divine.

I baked a chocolate and peanut butter layer cake for my nan for her birthday since she is a massive lover of PB, just like me. On the top is (homemade) peanut brittle. The frosting isn't JUST peanut butter - I'm not lazy! It's a peanut butter frosting which tastes like heaven

Inspirations

 

• I love yellow for summer but I haven't got anything yet apart from my bikini for holiday which has pineapples on it. 
• Also crushing on nude and I LOVE everything about that nude outfit. I bought some similar nude-y paisley shorts from Zara. 
• Definitely going to try some cobalt eyeliner soon - she looks so gorgeous and unique. It probably helps that she is stunning naturally.
• Stars are suddenly really cool in my eyes?? I've got my eye on some star earrings from ASOS rn.

My new favourite candle! I bought this from Stow-on-the-Wold and it smells absolutely divine.

Bank Holiday Monday - Stow-on-the-Wold: lovely but not familiar with brown people!

I feel like I should stop neglecting this despite only have 1 follower. Anyway, I shall keep my 1 follower updated about my life etc.

I have read: The Catcher In The Rye, The Bell Jar, 1984 and my reading list has been extended. I spent the Easter holidays in India, visiting my grandparents and relatives. I drank fresh coconut water at the beach and went to Kerala where we also spend an evening at the beach (this was the day before the supposed tsunami was meant to hit) where I almost drowned in a huge wave and we had a candlelit dinner on the beach accompanied by a stray dog that stayed with us for hours and hours. Apart from having to revise on holiday, it was a lovely 2 weeks.

Wow I haven't been on here in ages. Well, since then; I have grown slightly more bitter, read To Kill A Mockingbird, The Curious Incident of The Dog in the Night-time and have almost finish The Catcher In The Rye. The next book on my reading list is The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. I've started reading it a few times in the past and had to stop because that was in the school library and I didn't want to take it out because I wanted to buy my own copy. But somehow I keep spending my money so now I really need to save and so I have borrowed The Bell Jar, but as soon as I have more money I shall buy my own copy.

I'm halfway through To Kill A Mockingbird and I'm really enjoying it. I wish I had more time in the day to read.

My creative mind and my scientific mind are at war. Because of my AS level choices, my scientific mind is constantly at work. But lately all I've wanted to do is read books and paint and write poems and learn magnificent quotes and own a beautiful handmade notebook into which I would pour all of these in. I really do love learning science and theories etc. but all we do now is calculations and it really bores me. I just want to do what I want for once.
