Easy Nutella Cookies

So hi guys!! Today I am showing you the Nutella cookies recipe that I posted on Instagram a really long time ago!



And I being the Nutella obsessed person that I am I had to cook them! I really enjoyed doing this cookies, they are seriously the easiest cookies ever! Perfect if you want to cook something for a birthday, baby shower, etc.




I got this recipe from butter baking blog! So all the credit goes for her, she has an amazing cooking blog!

So here's the recipe:

1 cup Nutella (280g, 10 oz)
1 cup plain flour
1 egg
Preheat the oven to 180 C (350 F) and line 2 trays with baking paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the Nutella and the egg. Add the flour and stir until incorporated.
The mixture will be quite thick. Roll teaspoons of dough into balls and place on the lined trays. Using the base of a glass, press each cookie down firmly.
Bake for 6 – 8 minutes, I always err on the side of under baking for a chewier cookie. Makes 24 cookies.
Link to the recipe, here.
Hope you guys enjoy! If you cook this send me a picture to my twitter!

DIY: Leather Bracelet

Hi guys, so I have been waiting to do this post for a long time! I am really exited. I have gotten a lot of compliments on my bracelet and I have been obsessed with DIY  ideas, so today I am showing you how to make it! Let's start with the tutorial!

You will need:
  • leather cords (try picking a neutral color)
  • Fake Diamond chain (mine is an embellishment from a top that my mom did't want)
  • Cotton cord (pick any color you want)
  • Brass hex nut (PS: you will only need one)
  • A pair of scissors
  • Nail Top coat 


1.- Double your leather cord and tie a knot. Leave a small piece like I did for closing my bracelet.

2.- With the cotton cord start wrapping it around the leather cord, just 1/2 of an inch.



3.- Place your fake diamond chain and start wrapping the cotton cord around it. Normally this chains have some space between the diamonds.

You are going to start having something like this.

4.- Continue wrapping it around.



5.- Wrap the cotton cord around the end as we did at the start.


You will have something like this.

6.- Tie a knot, then add the nut and then tie it again.
7.- Put top coat on the knots and on the nut. This will help the cords to stay on the place.

At the ends you will have something like this!

This is the finish product:

DIY HALLOWEEN COSTUME: Minnie Mouse

Hi lovelies, today I am doing a post of a DIY halloween costume. Many of you want to do your costume easy but at the same time fun and cute, so in some future posts I will be doing a lot of these!! But only if you want, leave in the comments if you want more of these!!

So for halloween I am being Minnie Mouse, so here's a really easy DIY costume!
DIY HALLOWEEN COSTUME (Minnie Mouse)
OUTFIT:

1.- Wear something red, I recommend a dress, found really cheap ones at forever 21!

2.- This step has 2 options, you can wear flats or pumps, be sure that they have to be black.

3.- Transform your legs by using black tighsts to represent the black legs that Minnie has.

4.- Buy a bow, or you can do your own, or another really cute and creative option is doing the "Lady Gaga Bow hair", this would represents Minnie's bow. Here's a video of "bebexo" doing a tutorial on how to do it for short and long hair:



MAKEUP:

1.- Do your everyday foundation routine.

2.- Apply an eye primer on your lid with your ring finger, this will helps the eye shadow stay longer.

3.- With a red glitter eyeliner draw a line on your lid, I didn't have those do i do it with a NYX Jumbo eye pencil and then put red glitter eyeshadow above

4.- Put white eyeshadow below the eyebrow and blend it.

5.- Curl your lashes.

6.- Put black eyeliner not in all your waterline, only on the outer waterline.

7.- Apply some false lashes, but if you don't have just put a lot of mascara on your top and bottom lashes.

8.- Apply blush.

9.- Use a red lipstick, and the as an optional step use a pinky lip gloss!

And that would be your DIY Minnie halloween tutorial!
