Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Body Butter Review

Hey everyone! Another beauty review type thingy today and it's all about the Soap and Glory Sugarcrush Body Butter!

This Milly loves herself some Soap and Glory loveliness. Whether it's their GORGEOUS eyeshadow quads, lusciouss hair products, super amazeballs mascara or brilliant face wash (I nearly ran out of adjectives then...), this girl's gonna love it.

My favourite scent has to be the Sugar Crush range. I wish you had smella-screen (is that even a thing?) so you could understand my feels over this stuff. The sugar crush range consists of a body butter, body scrub and body wash. I have them all. Don't judge me. 

I'm going to tryyy and explain how they smell but sorry if I do a really terrible job. It's limey but doesn't smell zingy ( wow.) instead it's a sweet lime, hence why it's called sugar crush; it almost smells like lime yoghurt (oh dear). If you don't like lime scents, don't you be judging this beauty because oh my goodness it smells delicious. Let's roll with that description.

So today I'm just going to review the body cream because if I was to review all of the range you would be still reading this in the year 3000. (Where we live under water. Comment if you know what song that's from)

The effect this stuff has on your skin is insane, leaving it feeling silkily smooth and smelling of the cream all day. Very nice if you want to smell like lime yoghurt, am I selling it to you?... No, really, it's fantastic and I'm sure you'll receive plenty of limishious scentish compliments.

The Body Butter costs around £10.50. You definitely get your money's worth from the product as you only need to apply a small amount because of how beautifully it spreads, especially when you've just got out of the bath/shower and your skin's nice and moisturised. It also seeps into the skin fairly quickly so you don't feel like a slug for too long:)

Although the packaging doesn't look expensive, I love the simplistic design with all the Soap and Glory comments we all know and love. Plus it's pink and green, my two favourite colours so that sold me straight away.

My only problem with this product is that it's a screw on lid! When my hands are all buttered up (going a bit in depth here but carry on) it's extremely hard to screw on a lid! I would much prefer like a pop off one so my life would be that tad bit easier. But other than that slight moan, everything else is top job fantastic!

So that review went quite well I feel... I need to go and revise French now as I have a speaking exam tomorrow at 12:45 (during RE, YESSS) and I'm slightly stressing out over that so I must dash.

Cheerio! Milly x

My Go Too Handreams of 2013/14!

Hey everyone! Two posts in a week, hope you all feel very special indeed. I have a free half an hour so here you go, my go too hand-creams hope you enjoy:))

I get really chapped, dry and sensitive hands in the autumn and winter months so it takes me a while to find the perfect hand-cream that moisturises yet doesn't cause my hands to feel on fire when I put it on.

 First up is this super handy Neutrogena hand-cream that is my go to handbag cream as you only have to apply a really tiny blob on your hand. This is great as it means you don't feel like you've got handcream on so you can carry on with everything without leaving a slimy residue behind:)) It amazes me how even though you only put a tiny bit on, it still moisturises your hands so much and doesn't cause them to sting at all. It's also in an incredibly tiny bottle as it's so concentrated which means it fits in your bag wonderfully.

As for smell, this product doesn't really have any. I personally like this for when I'm out and about:)

The price of this product is between £3 and £4 which is quite good considering the number of uses you get from it.

Excuse the drawing on my hand:))

My other go to hand-cream is this Hemp Hand Protector from Body Shop which I absolutely ADORE! It's very thick, very moisturising but slightly more expensive compared with the Neutrogena one costing £10 for this size bottle. This is the hand-cream I use on a night as it's thicker and does leave your hands feeling very handcreamy (if that's a word?!) and when I get up on a morning it leaves my hands feeling so unbelievably soft. If you have really dry, chapped hands then this is the hand-cream for you.

You do have to use quite a lot of the cream when applying to completely moisturise your hand which means the larger bottle is recommended as it can run out quite quickly, especially if you apply it everyday like I do.

I quite like the smell of this hand-cream. It's not a sweet. That's all I got. I recommend having a smell when you next go past Bodyshop but that isn't what makes this product good, it's the brill effect it has on your hands that caused me to buy the big bottle.

So there we go! Hope you enjoyed that Monday blogpost. I want to start blogging more regularly this year but please don't hold it against me, school is taking up a LOT of time recently *cry*

Anyway got to go now! Let me know in the comments below what hand-creams you've been loving at the moment, I'll look forward to replying to them:)

Cheerio! Milly x

Microwaveable Yummy Chocolate Pud!

Today on Miyyi I thought we could all get our aprons on and attempt to make a very easy microwavable chocolate pud that tastes so utterly delicious it makes me want to cry a little. Off we goooo...

When baking it's good to start with the ingredients, so that's exactly what I'm going to do! You will need...

• 115g of self raising flour
• 115g of caster sugar
• A pinch of salt
• 55g of cocoa
• 55g of margerine
• 1 beaten egg
• 4 tablespoons of milk
• 1 tablespoon of vanilla essence 
• 115g of brown sugar
• 1/2 pint of boiling water

Measure the flour and add into a large microwaveable mixing bowl, add to that the caster sugar, salt and 30g of the cocoa. Don't mix yet!

Next, melt the margarine and add egg, milk and vanilla essence to the bowl and mix well.

The next part is the making of the sauce and involves sprinkling the rest of the cocoa and brown sugar evenly on the top of the mixture. 

Then, pour 1/2 pint of boiling water on the top of the sprinkle of chocolatey

sugary happiness.

Finally, plop it in the microwave for around 6 minutes until it's warm all the way through with a gooey chocolatey sauce on top!

Serve with cream, custard or fruit, all 3 if you really want to! ITS SO AMAZINGLY YUMMY AND YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO MAKE IT WOOP YUM.

Well there we go. Milly attempted to demonstrate her fine culinary skills. This recipe is so quick and easy and is a brilliant hot pud that I hope you all have the great privilege to try at some point:))) 

If you have a go at making this please let me know on twitter or instagram by using the hashtag: BakingWithMiyyi and tagging me on instagram: @millywh

                                              and Twitter: @GrumpyTortoise

I hope to see some of your creations. YAY!!

Cheerio! Milly x

Prezzies

It's been nearly a month since my last post.Oops...

Anyway, today is the 27th of December, two days after Christmas (I'm good at maths) and I wanted to do a Christmassy post of what I got for Christmas!! I'm not trying to brag but instead give you guys an insight on what I like and also for any nosy readers who might be interested in teenage trends :D So off we goooooo...

Stocking yay!! Waking up to a stocking full of goodies is one of the best parts of Christmas, apart from the dinner of course:P

A canvas Jack Wills bag:) I love Jack Wills and this bag will come very in handy as it goes with lots and is just the right size for my phone and purse.

Oh my goodness I got Real Technique makeup brushes. Eeek. I've wanted these for a while and kept picking them up in Boots, Santa must have seen;)

Hollister body spray has the bestest, most beautiful smell and brings tears of joy to my eyes every time I spray it (Slight exaggeration but it smells flipping good and I definitely recommend you put it on your Christmas list next year, nothing like forward planning.)

The Soap and Glory Sugar Crush range is utterly fantastic. The smell is so sweet yet the lime gives it that extra zingy kick that means this stuff smells like no other, I'm in love with it:)) And the Milly loves a bit of coconut too!

A set of mini craft books that I absolutely ADORE! I might attempt a couple and put them up on here:)

Maybelline The Falsies mascara, eyelash curlers and eyebrow brush!? The Falsies I have been longing for for ages and FINALLY I have it: yay, thanks Santa!! He must have known I always end up borrowing my mum's eyelash curlers and eyebrow brush too:p

Split fringe:/ ignore that.

I have a parka, Horray! This one's from Warehouse if anyone wanted to know:) I like it especially because the fur lining is detachable so going into the warmer spring I can detach it, magic!

And these cute little fingerless gloves/mittens from Accesorize are perfect for the remaining cold winter months. The colours and pattern go with my parka and my scarf which I also got for Christmas! My scarf is a neverending one which I have been wanting as I like wearing two loops like in the picture^ and I love the look a neverending one gives:)

And that's it for present showing today! I'm very grateful and thankful for all of them. Let me know what you got for Christmas in the comments below; I love reading and replying to all of them:)

I hope you all had a very merry and happy Christmas and I guess I'll "see" you in 2014! Be prepared for some fantabulous posts.

Cheerio! Milly x

Catch up and my Trip to London

Well hello everyone, long time no see! How are you all? Let's grap a cup of tea and have a good catch up about the lack of blogging recently. Also, I thought I'd share with you my trip to London that happened on Wednesday and Thursday this week. Sounds like a good idea, off we go!!

So my last post was nearly a month ago... A MONTH! But no fear, I'm back and bustling with blogging ideas (like the alliteration?)

First of all, the Christmas Cracker Swap me and my blogger friend Rachel were hosting was a massive fail. No comments on our posts, we were extremely disappointed:( The post has been removed now and we may try again next year. Any feedback on why you didn't get involved would be greatly appreciated in the comments below:)

School, music and diving has been taking up a lot of my time recently. What with being in year 10, GCSE coursework has kicked in as well as tonnes of unwanted homework meaning any spare time I have is taken up doing that... How depressing;) Also music rehearsals for upcoming Christmas concerts and diving training means my free blogging day is usually Sunday unless of Homework, competitions or concerts. I hope now you guys understand! :p

So let's get on to a more cheery note of MY SUPER AMAZING TRIP TO LONDON. This happened on Wednesday and Thursday which meant I got to miss 2 whole days of school, YAY :D It was a GCSE music trip for year 9, 10 and 11, we were all very excited on Wednesday morning with our suitcases and comfy shoes. The trip entailed us going on the London Eye, watching the West-End show Charlie and the Chocolate factory and taking part in a London Symphony Orchestra workshop. As well as dinner at the Rainforest Cafe and staying over at a swanky hotel!:)

The 5 hour coach drive seemed to last 5 years. Stupid traffic jams:(( This was turned around when we stopped at the services and I had a Starbucks Frappe, not as good as Costa but I was still a happy bunny;)

Milly with an ie though:(

We finally got to London, horray! I was devastated when we drove past the GIGANTIC Topshop on Oxford Street knowing we didn't have any time on the tight schedule to do some shopping and I love to shop! :p

The London eye was amazing, I'd been on it before so knew the drill but it was still a laugh being so high above the city!

Because the drive took so friggin long we didn't even get chance to change out of our scruffy travelling clothes to go to dinner and the theatre! We were all extremely disappointed, one of my friends who went spent £68 on a special outfit for it, she wasn't happy.

The Rainforest Cafe omg the atmosphere was amazing and the set up of the place is amazing, it even has it's own little special shop on the top floor! It's special trademark was thundering every 30 mins or so, this wasn't good for the non-thunder lovers... We had the choice of Pasta or Burger, most of us, including me chose burger. The food wasn't that super but the huge fish tank in the middle made up for it;)

Then off we went to watch Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, the best show I've ever seen. Charlie was played by a 9 year old who was incredible! The set was by far the best bit, I well and truly recommend this if you want to go and see a fantastic play. It was actually pretty hilarious as well which is always a bonus!

Then it was time for bed... But Big Bang Theory was on at 2:30 in the morning so not much sleep was had.

The next day was the London Symphony Orchestra workshop which consisted of composition and playing of this very unusual instrument which I've forgotten the name of, oops. It was fantastic:D Good
use of adjectives here, I'm starting to run out... Our composition consisted of a cow mooing, it was all very professional :p

Also check me out wearing the same jumper Zoella bought from her Primark hall^^^

Then we got on the coach back home. We stopped at the services and I had a KFC and some mango, no regrets there:)

So there we go, I hope enjoyed and this extra long post made up for the lack of them these last few weeks. Daily bloggers I look up to you!!

Cheerio! Milly x
