I know I didn't quite do it justice, but David, this is for you! Please check out his wonderful blog! (My favourites are the Celeb fashion roundups!)

Buttercream Frosting Recipe

My last post was on the Vanilla Cupcakes that I made for my birthday. And while that's all good and dandy, what makes a cupcake fantastic is of course, the frosting!

This is a Meringue-based frosting meaning it's made out of eggwhites. There are several different ways of making buttercream and while some may find it tricky, it's actually wonderfully easy! I would want to say it's a piece of cake, but...well...Oh what the hell. Trust me guys.

This one'll be a piece of cake. ;)

[VIDEO] Skin Care + Concealing Routine for Flawless Skin


I previously asked what you guys wanted to see in terms of my next video tutorial, and I got a lot of questions about my skin care routine. I got a lot of compliments about my skin, and while I'm terribly flattered, I need to set the record straight: I do not have flawless skin.

Having said this however, I am quite happy with how my skin is now because I used to suffer from acne. I have to stress that I am not a doctor, and everyone's skin is different. The products that I use may not necessarily work for you. However, in this article I talk about the basics for getting healthier, clearer looking skin.
