Chocolate Cheesecake

This is my third attempt at making cheesecake. They're all baked cheesecakes, but this time it's chocolate =]

The cheesecake mix and the chocolate base =]

The cheesecake in the oven, this is a baked cheesecake recipe. But it still needs to set in the frige over night

It doesn't look very nice but I promise it tastes better than it looks 

I can't seem to take a photo without it blurring... 

Hello Kitty Jigsaw

Recently, there's been a number of things I want to blog about, finding time just seems to be the most difficult part. The past week has been fairly fun. 

Let's start from last week. My sister and I redid a jigsaw that we bought about five years ago. It's a Hello Kitty one and it glows in the dark ^^ I bought it for nearly £30 back then, but it was definitely worth it. The first time we did the puzzle (five years ago) it took us weeks to do it. And this time it took us less than a day. 

Long Time No See

Once again, I have been neglecting my blog. Well, not exactly neglecting... it's been on the back of my mind but I just haven't really had the chance to write anything. Well, it's SUMMER =D My summer holidays started about 6 weeks ago but the beginning of it was just so hectic and busy.

I had lots of plans for this summer, but when do plans ever go as planned? Almost never =P And the summer job part has completely gone down the drain. I did try... but it seems no one wants to give me any summer pocket money xP

Let's talk about what we know best: the weather. I'm so glad that Mr Sunshine has been willing to show his face. I don't think I can stand many more gloomy rainy days. And... *touch wood* (I hope I don't speak to soon) but the hayfever tablets seem to be working this year =] Long live working hayfever tablets =)

Vivienne's mind: summer = watermelons and mangoes (and any other fruit that you only get in summer).
Last year I must have ate about five watermelons or so... This year, it's the end of July and I'm through my forth one. Of course I don't eat it all by myself... just most of it =P And the other week, I got to do what I've always wanted to do. Cut a section of the watermelon and eat it with a spoon! Boy, did my stomach fill up fast... I couldn't eat for the rest of the day afterwards. Usually I get a stomach ache if I eat around more than a quarter of one... but I think I may just have a small unusual talent when it comes to watermelons. Also, my sister and I had a race to see who could finish it first and who ate it the cleanest... I won, of course.
P.s. my portion was bigger than hers =P

Avant

Après

Okay... I admit defeat... I have failed to put the two photos next to each other T_T
And I really need to practice my French before it's completely erased from my mind.

I've got to go and make lunch now... I shall attempt to update more this summer =D

Have a nice day =) 

Graze

I came across a website called Graze where they basically sell healthy snacks and deliver them to you on a regular basis. It's actually pretty cool and quite a new and interesting idea. I'm not sure I actually like the idea too much but it's definitely something different =]

You can try a free box (they're really keen on pulling new people) so they sent me a voucher code where if you introduce new people they get a free box and I get £1 off. They're pretty good at this business. Their packaging is awesome and nature-looking. It's exactly the type of stuff I personally like (I look those 'nature finish' folders and stuff, it's way better than the colourful ones ^^) Oh yeah, in case you're interested, please enter this voucher code: RD7VXTC3 at graze.com 

My graze box that awesomely fits through the post box =] 

Top left going clockwise:
Honey cashew nuts;
'Swallows and amazon': brazils, cheries, mango and raisins
'Banana split':banana, cashews and Belgian milk chocolate puffed rice
Wasapeas: wababi peas 

They are pretty small boxes, but I guess that's the whole point of it being a snack box =]

Long Time No Blog + Anime Challenge Week 3

I haven't updated for a while... it seems I can't even blog once a week anymore. Once exams are over, my less-dull life should be back. Just two weeks to go. Gosh, that sounds awfully scary... the fact exams are over in two weeks and I've hardly revised for the other topics.


Day Week Challenge 3 - Your anime crush

Oh dear, there are so many... any awesome, charming, bishie character I will like =P I'm no weirdo though, I know they're not real.

Here's just a small selection from my never-ending favourite character list ^^

Byakuya <3 

Kanda

Ah there are lots more awesome characters but I should get back to revision now... I'll make a better list next time xD And hopefully post more interesting stuff =] 

Have a lovely day and weekend!!! =D
