Favourites

I had originally wanted to do a February Favourites post but I didn't really have any particular things I liked just in February as it is usually always the same things for me for instance CHOCOLATE! Now for those that don't know me I am probably the biggest chocolate fiend in existence! So I thought why not make a favourites post just for chocolate just to be a bit different! I hope you enjoy :)

#1 M&M Mini Eggs: These are my absolute favourite chocolate and are only available around Easter time. They're solid milk chocolate with mini m&ms inside and they are divine. I could eat these for breakfast, lunch & dinner.

#2 Cadbury Mini Eggs: These are another limited Easter chocolate edition. Solid milk chocolate with a thick candy coating on the outside. I only got into these last Easter & they are pretty darn good & you don't need to worry about having to unwrap the foil like the other ones which can be a downside as you can eat them so much faster! Weird thing is at my local supermarket they only had the small boxes which was rather annoying as they're demolished in a blink of an eye! So I found a bag of them when I was shopping at Kmart and they were revolting! I was so disappointed especially to find the gross ones were made in New Zealand!!!!! Were as the yummy ones were made in Poland! Looks like I'll be sticking to the little boxes from now on!

#3 Cadbury Energy Chocolate: Now I go through phases of binge eating and buying a certain block before I get sick of it & move onto the next flavour. I'm currently loving this one so so sooo much. Its only 40% cocoa so its not too dark and its lovely and creamy like Dairy Milk. It has been quite annoying being Summer here as the block is always warm and borderline melting but I refuse to put it in the fridge as I can't stand refrigerated chocolate.

#4 Chocolate Chip Cookies: Normally I bake double/triple choc cookies but this time round I wanted a bit less chocolate since I'm eating so much other kinds with Easter. I have only made this particular recipe once before to make a 'Gingerbread House' with and it turned out great and the little off cuts I had left over were delicious! So I baked these up & they were gone within two days as my boyfriend took a bunch to work with him! Might need to get my bake on and whip up another batch!

Anyway, that is it for my favourites. Maybe I will do Favourites posts for certain things or a Top 5 if you will, every month to mix it up a bit. 

Hope you enjoyed reading, comment below and tell me your favourite chocolate at the moment!

What's in my everyday bag

So I think I should start off by mentioning that my everyday bag is probably a lot different to most people's everyday bag because it is full of Leo's stuff mostly! Like every other first time mum I originally carted around with me my handbag and also a Nappy Bag filled to the brim with so much crap that I almost never used any of it! I soon came to the realisation that I did not need to bring my entire household with me so I now have the necessities all packed in to just my handbag (Yes, it all actually fits in the one bag surprisingly) unless of course we are going out for a longer period of time or an activity which requires a bit more items!

So here it is my handbag, its nothing fancy or anything but I adore it. My boyfriend got it for me for our anniversary last year after me complaining for months about needing a new one after my current one fell victim to spilled, sticky food mess (arrgh).

It is a pastel blue colour with a crocodile skin look to it with gold details. It has two short handles and it made of quite sturdy material. The brand is Marikai, I had never heard of that brand before but it is from Strandbags. It has two zip compartments, one side has an inner zip pocket which I find fantastic so I can keep coins, hair clips or any other small items safe from tiny hands & mouths. The other side has two small pockets which I like to keep my phone, keys and pens in, the rest of my stuff just gets put in like I'm playing a game of Tetris!

First up the baby stuff I always like to have a couple of nappies, change of clothes, sippy cup, a toy, some sort of snack, bibs, sun hat and of course baby wipes! Even if you don't have kids these are so good! Now for my stuff which there isn't really much of I have my set of keys, card wallet, deodorant, tissues, hand sanitiser, gum, lip balm, pens, a notebook and lastly hair clips as I always keep hair ties on my wrist if not in my hair. That is all I have in my bag on a day to day basis as I usually carry my phone in my pocket and I don't bring any make up with me. 

My bag is a lot more full and boring now that I'm a mum! Perhaps I should do a what's in my make up bag post? Leave me a comment with your top 3 must haves in your daily handbag! Don't forget to leave your blog link also so I can check it out. Hope everyone is having a fab weekend :)
