Advent Advent Calendar

In case you hadn't noticed (and unless you're a complete Christmas freak like me why would you have) it is exactly 25 days until the 1st of december (the day we get to open our first advent calendar). But I have decided to get into the Christmas spirit early and begin my Advent Advent Calendar! 

This is it! It is a Quentin Blake one that my Dad gave me and I am going to open a flap every day, counting down to the day I can begin my real advent calendar. Before you close this page and never visit my blog again but call  up my mum and have me put in a mental home please try to understand. Christmas is just so exciting and to be frank 25 days is not enough of a count down. 

So if you feel like getting ready for the holidays early too I encourage you to start your Advent Advent Calendar. It has already made me happier :)

You may have also noticed I'm not the only one getting into the Christmas Spirit, this is my very first Toffee Nut Latte of the year and it was DELICIOUS! 

I also enjoyed the Candy Canes Starbucks was selling, although I'm pretty sure the lady at the counter thought I was cer-a-zy. 

Before Christmas can really begin we have my two youngest brothers and my dads birthday. Today was my brother Charlie's birthday and upon request I made him the Lemon Crinkle Cookies to take into his class. 

Happy First day of the Advent Advent Calendar everyone 

Love Scarlett. 

Facebook Costme

While everyone is still mourning Halloween and getting ready for the excitement that is Red Cups and Gingerbread Lattes at Starbucks... I would like to present my brothers Halloween Costume. 

I say my 'brothers' costume, although if we're being truthful I did make it all. However I was no where near brave enough to wear it on Halloween so I made it for my 14 year old brother Jake who is awesome and confident and cool enough to pull it off. 

If you haven't already guessed, he's dressed up as a Facebook page. The idea came to me because I was thinking how awesome it would be if every blogger dressed up as their blog for Halloween (it would also work well with Twitter) but for this year I decided to give Facebook a try. 

It wasn't too hard, I painted a big piece of card white and then cut a hole in the side for the profile picture. We decided to use an older Facebook layout because the new one is a lot less iconic and once I had done the standard status, logo and name I added some funny wall posts and likes. 

It actually worked a lot better than I thought it would. Even though it's a bit messy and my handwriting isn't perfect you can totally tell it's a Facebook page and Jake looked awesome in it. 

If you made your own Halloween costume please send me a picture because I am having serious Halloween withdrawal symptoms. 

Hope everyone is having a good week,

Love Scarlett. 

Happy Halloween

Hey Guys! Happy Halloween. Wahooo. I was super super excited about going into school today dressed in my awesome devil costume that I spent ALL NIGHT making. I get into school and... I'm the only one dressed up. Like THE ONLY ONE! It actually happened. That full on Mean Girls, Princess Diaries, every young adults book you've ever read moment. It was crazy. But I did feel pretty special. 

Anyway the real thing I wanted to talk about was that my FAVOURITE blogger Miss Indie is having an  awesome Halloween Blog Party all day today on her incredible blog. She's going to be posting D.I.Y.s, tips and so many other fun things! I cant wait. 

Make sure you check it out because she's awesome and it's going to be incredible. 

Hope everyone has a lovely day.

Love Scarlett. 

Halloween Costumes

I feel like this is cheating a little bit because most of my favourite costumes are Posy's Halloween Costumes (she has three this year) but as well as pictures of Posy there are some pretty awesome costumes here that I have found online. If you have made your own Halloween Costume or if you just have a really awesome one please send me your pictures! I would love to see them. I have spent all week making my brothers costume which is going to be AWESOME! I will do a whole post on it tomorrow.

The Click on This List 4

This Clip from Breaking Dawn. - Yup, that's right. I love Twilight. I mean come on, who doesn't, it's amazing. And this clip just made me so excited I couldn't even speak for like 5 minutes. 

This Interview with Zooey Deschanel. - as you all know Zooey Deschanel is my most favourite person of all time ever in the whole world and maybe the whole universe. This interview is 25 Things you didn't know about Zooey Deschanel and its uh-mazing. 

This Recipe for Lemon Crinkle Cookies. - I made these crinkle cookies the other day and they were 100% the best cookies I have EVER baked. They are crispy, chewy and soft all at the same time (what!) and their really really easy to make! 

My Studded Pumpkin. - I kind of hate carving pumpkins, it's so gross and orange and sticky and moulds after like two hours. So this is the perfect alternative. I just stuck loads of drawing pins into the pumpkin and it looks great. 

The Trailer for The Lorax - AH this looks so amazing! The music, the colours, the voices, just everything. 

Adam Levine's Missing Torso - unless this guy is the most insanely skinny, freakish person in the whole world, this is a pretty badly photoshopped picture. 

My Hello Giggles Halloween DIY - I'm loving writing for Hello Giggles so much, and this week I've made a super super easy and fun Halloween Costume DIY.

Hope you like my clicks,

Love Scarlett

Hey There,

So guess how bored I am? Bored enough to have spent the last hour making GIFs of my awesome puppy. Rock on. I didn't know what GIFs where until today either but apparently they are these cool little moving pictures. They sort of remind me of Harry Potter's moving pictures. 

I made mine on the website Make a Gif and it was super easy and fun. 

Hope everyone is having a great week.

Love Scarly.

Cake Pops

I was sorting through some of my old photos last night (like you do when it's 3 am and your still awake) and I found some pictures of these cake pops I made for fathers day and completely forgot about! 

If you haven't heard of cake pops, they are a new craze in the world of baking and consist of crumbled up cake mixed with frosting and coated in chocolate - YUM! They are amazing and although they are pretty tricky to make they were not actually as hard as I thought they would be and definitely worth the wait. 

These ones were chocolate cake but recently I made some Red Velvet ones with cream cheese frosting and those were INCREDIBLE! 

I used the book Cake Pops by Angie Dudley which has some really cute suggestions for other shaped cake pops. 

I also bought some blue candy melts (basically just blue chocolate buttons) which I used to make these ones. Then I covered them in little red heart sprinkles. 

Hope everyone is having a brilliant half term and if you're not on half term then I'm very sorry.

Love Scarlett.
