The One Where I Make Gingerbead Autumn Cookies.

Hey everyone,

I've had a few really crap days hence the no 'Positive Tuesdays' post because quite frankly even though the whole point is the pick the best parts out of the week, I just couldn't. I could not sit down and do that yesterday and I am sorry for my negative vibes.

Today I took my mind off of things and saw my mum then came home to bake some Gingerbread Cookies with the cookie cutters I purchased earlier in the day!

I used a recipe from BBC Goodf Food, as per usual I always go there for recipes.

£2.49 from TKMaxx

They turned out really nice, gooey in the middle! They're so cute for Autumn, and you know me, I LOVE AUTUMN. TKMaxx had loads of sweet Halloween cookie cutters too so I shall be going there shortly to purchase some more. 

It's so nice living in my own little house doing some baking, I was adulting so hard. I also iced them (badly) and put cinnamon in the icing, Autumn was all up in my face. 

Let me see your seasonal cookies if you've done any! 

Blogmas: Day Nineteen!

Hello everyone!

I had a very productive day today, the creative juices were flowing (that sounds SO wrong and horrible, I take it back) I woke up and put on my Christmas jumper, although I didn't wash my hair because hello, I will wash my hair for no man. Actually, there was no man, I didn't even leave the house today.

Dinosaur socks are obvz well Christmassy 

I finished my wrapping today, my parcels look like actual parcels I felt like I was working in that post office in The Grinch, not blowing my own trumpet here but they look good! 

Wowweee, ooo la la 

After chilling with my mum I begun to make some gingerbread men/snowmen/snow flakes! I like to think I'm an okay baker but then my mum has to step in and help because believe it or not, mums know best. It's a fact of life! The recipe was from the BBC website, after trying to find a decent one I went with that because hello I'm not made of money I can't go out and buy a million and one ingredients so that was a pretty simple one which you can make too if you check it out on their website here! 

looking raw and anaemic, not v ginger at all 

They came out really quite nice, then I went and made them look like absolute psychos with the decoration, my mum being my mum said they looked nice but I think they look like they've been to a midnight rave and had a bit of 'fun'. 

All in all, I've had a very nice, festive day! I've tried to ignore a lot of negative thoughts I've been having for the sake of myself and also my mum. I need to enjoy my time at home, not spend it focusing on bad body image and anxiety.

I'm now going to spend my Friday night with my mum watching Text Santa - which you can donate to by clicking this link if you'd like, it's a good cause! 

I hope you've had a nice day and continue to have a nice weekend, let me know what you're up to in the comments. Have you been doing any festive activities?
