SOTW | DIANE YOUNG

I haven't done a song of the week in ages, but this one by Vampire Weekend has been in my head for ages (the video is pretty cool too)
"Baby baby baby baby right on time!"

CAKES DAYS: Almond Buttercake

After my last cake recipe seemed to go down pretty well I thought it was only right to do another one and tempt you with some more sweet-tooth goodness.

This one really is a once-in-a-while treat as it's definitely not the healthiest, but sure is tasty!
It's a variation on the Dutch Almond Boterkoek, a rich sweet treat. I got the recipe from Claire and loved it instantly! I have also converted the measurements so they are metric friendly - so us brits don't have to worry about cups and ounces confusion.

THE GLAMOUR-LESS

In this week's post I thought I'd bring you slightly left-field and show you my top completely un-glamourous beauty favourites.

We like to talk/read/lust over gorgeous packaging and luxurious beauty and make-up picks (I'm looking at you Tom Ford!) but every now and then our focus needs to shine on the bog-standard.
I say bog-standard but these little gems are nothing but amazing! The three product's I love are very popular and rightly so, not anything to scream & shout about ala Britney but really do their job pretty darn well if I do say so.

VOGUE FOR YOUR LIFE!

If you are into or even remotely interested in pop culture, fashion art & dance you may like any one of these films. I must admit I am not the greatest fan of all documentaries but I really believe about learning of our past and the journeys of significant and creative folk.

CAKE DAYS: Carrot Cake

 This is one of my favourite cake recipes of all-time, its a classic! I think it goes perfectly with a good ol' cuppa and its relatively quick & easy. I have never shared my baking exploits on this blog before even though its something I do all the time!

Of course the recipe is adaptable to a certain extent (e.g I love cinnamon so I always add extra, like-wise to make it slightly healthy-er I don't go for full-fat cream cheese & use olive oil as its better for you than sunflower I think) so obviously if you have allergies etc. you can change it up to suit you.
