Bakin'

Yesterday it was one of those lovely days when you wake up and can't help but smile because the sun is in your face, especially since it's been so long ago since last time that happened. I tried to make the most of it and ran a few errands, got a few things done and went for a long walk.

We made tacos or wraps or tortillas or what ever it's called later! It's so nice and I don't think of it that often so I don't make it much, but when I do I love it!

We also watched "Rock Star", a movie about a guy who plays in a tribute band and end up being the lead vocalist in the band they're tributing. It was fun, it's worth a watch! Myles Kennedy was in it, he looked hilarious! Mark Wahlberg plays the lead and Jennifer Aniston plays his girlfriend, she looked stunning in it!
Movie time!
Today I woke up hoping it would be sunny like yesterday, but no! It was as grey as it gets! Ken really wanted blueberry muffins and I really wanted to bake so I baked just that. It was fun, I've never done it before. They turned out really tasty, but that was about it.. I put them in a cupcake tray and the whole thing looked like a cake afterwards, when I try to take the muffins out, they kind of collapse. It's only for us though, it's not like I baked them for a party or anything so as long as they taste good, I'm very happy!
Aren't these cute? I found them in Ikea, haha!
It started out looking like this, I just had to sprinkle some sugar, butter and flour mix on top and they were done. The recipe said I had to fill the little cups all the way.
It ended up looking like this. Like a cake. 
As I don't really know what to do differently I probably won't make this for anyone, haha! Only me and Ken and stuff if we crave it. Now I'm baking bread and either later or tomorrow I'm going to make cupcakes. I don't know what got over me, but I don't mind, it's fun! I haven't baked much before so it's exciting to learn new things. I'm excited to try the cupcakes, I've baked it once before with help from my good friend, Ciara, I hope they turn out somewhat similar to what they did then.

I want to learn how to bake healthier options and stuff like that, I've seen there's a recipe for healthy chocolate chip cookies for example, I'd love to try that at some point. The bread I make is really healthy and so good, it's my grandma's recipe, she's made it since I was a kid, it's really cool to me that I can make it too. It looks like this:

It's really good!
Now I'm just waiting for todays bread to be done:)
I found this photo on Instagram, I really wish all fruit came with this, it's adorable!
This is just totally hot looking as always, I got it the other day.
I've come to really enjoy baking and cooking lately, I didn't enjoy it at all when I was younger, I always love finding a new passion, it's so exciting! Now I'm gonna go and eat some more muffins, Take care:)

Musey!

Eee! Excied! I just saw that Muse's new album is streaming right now! You can find it here!


Unless you've been living under a rock lately you'll know this is what the new Muse album cover will look like. The release date is 1st of October and I couldn't be more excited! Ken has ordered me the special edition and every time he wants me to get excited he turns on his "sexy voice" and tells me how he ordered the Deluxe Edition, it's so funny! I'm a hardcore Muse fan, they've been my favorite band since I was fourteen-fifteen years old.

Sadly my internet connection is really bad at the moment so I don't get to listen to the album yet, but if you're one of the luckier ones I hope you can find it on my link up there.

Earlier today we had a visit from Finn, he's Ken's dad's dog. I just have to show a photo of him because he looks like a big teddy or one of those big stuffed animals that are first price when you shoot or throw things at fun fairs!

Isn't he so fluffy?!

I had the limited edition Diet Coke cans designed by Jean Paul Gaultier earlier too. He designed one called 'Night' and one called 'Day'. I had the 'Night' one. I couldn't see the 'Day' one, but it features his signature Breton Blue-and-White stripes. This ''Night' one has a corset and cone bra design.


Yesterday I was at Eoin's band practice, they're really good, they have a gig at the Harbour Bar in Bray on Friday evening. If you're in the area you should definitely stop by! They're called Burning Amber. Eoin is one of Ken's old friends I think they've known each other through their entire teenagers. He's super nice, he's the go-to-guy if you need anything done. One time he climbed up and washed our sunroof windows from the outside!


Eoin is the blurry, hairy one in the middle. He's also Ken's best guitar buddy. They always write music together and he used to be around our house all the time to record with Ken. They play many of his songs in the band and it's fun hearing them now with a full band after having heard the songs played many, many times with only vocals and an acoustic guitar.

I'm going to visit Mandy tomorrow and I'm so excited because there is a pair of shoes waiting for me that was delivered to her address. I'll blog about them tomorrow, be excited, they are so stunning!

Here in Bray it's raining a lot today, it's really nice, it makes such a lovely sound. I hope it's raining less the next few days though, I wanna wear my new shoes a lot:)
