We're going all out this Halloween! Myself and my friends are all super excited so have lots of plans!
Friday night, we're dressing up, getting drunk and heading out.
Obviously I needed some spooky beverages to get me through the evening.
50ml Pineapple Juice
1 tablespoon Coconut Cream (Surprising hard to find... will see if coconut milk works!)
50ml Rum (I couldn't find the one I wanted in time to take these photos... so just pretend it's there!)
1 tablespoon Sugar
Ice
Pineapple Slice (Decoration - Optional)
Shake it all up and you're ready to go!
I've also made Jelly Shots for everyone to enjoy.
These are simple, just jelly, vodka and water.
I'll leave you to work out the measurements of each thing... it took Fran & I a while..

On the saturday night to soothe our poor hungover heads, we're having a big scary movie night!
Films, friends, takeaways and lots of snacks. Can't really ask for much more!
I spotted some wonderful looking 'Triple Halloween Chocolate Apples' on Cider With Rosie and I am so excited to give them a go!
I'll also be making these funky 'Spooky Boo Brownies' that I spotted on the Betty Crocker website!
I'm being naughty and using a box mix... but I'm a student, so it's allowed.
Whip up a batch of brownies, place the marshmallows on top! I'm melting some white chocolate over the top too!
Sweetie Skewers to stick in one of the pumpkins for great decoration and food!
We bought a few decorations for the flat too. We thought we may as well go all out and make the most of this spooky weekend!
Pumpkins are carved and ready to be displayed in all their glory with tea-lights in!
Check out my spooky pumpkin carving video below!

It's nearly halloween!
Time for those tricky questions... Who do I go as? What do I wear? Do I go for scary? Do I go for sexy? Do I go for cute?
I thought I'd put together a few outfits on 'Polyvore' of some 'classic' halloween looks in a slightly more stylised and sophisticated way.
A sexy, yet sophisticated take on a Vampire look. The splashes of blood red will tie this look together. Tanya Burr's lipgloss in 'Vampire Kiss' is perfect for a vampy pout and the red contacts will freak people out all night long.
A round, shiny, bright orange pumpkin outfit isn't the most attractive of outfits to wear for halloween. This look will be made by your make up, freak people out with dark black eye makeup and black lips. Go bold and be brave with that, it's halloween!
An LBD, cat ears and some draw on whiskers and you're pretty much there with this look. (Take a look at Niomi Smarts fab tutorial for that!) The extras are just there to make it more exciting, but this look an be achieved with things you probably already have stored in your wardrobe and make up draws. Not scary, but very cute.
We've all seen Liz Hurely in Bedazzeled (If not, google it now... Seen it? Get what I'm on about? Good.) We don't want to paint our faces red and prance about in red tights all night so this is a great alternative. You'll feel fab in the red dress and heels but still have the 'devil' touches. Like the cat outfit, it's quite a simple one, but this is the sexier option!
I get it if you don't want to be wearing a glittery, itch black dress from the fancy dress shop. This little number is a stylish solution. Wearing a deep purple, with black accessories throughout adds a nice touch of colour to the outfit and makes it a bit more fancy than just black.
So you won't look terrifying in any of these outfits, but you will feel fab and still look cool whilst sticking to the 'rules' of halloween, as it were.
Head on over to my Polyvore here!
Recently I've been in the mood to bake! These are a few of the baking beauties that are on the top of my list!
These were the last thing I made from 'Cider With Rosie'. Honey Roasted Nuts. How good do they look?!
One of my favourite blogs. Rosie's photographs alone make this post good enough to try out but the ideas themselves sounds fabulous too! Maple & Pecan Porridge is the one I'll try out first (If I can stop myself from just making them all at once...) Perfect for frosty autumnal mornings. Im off to drool over the photographs again!
Perfectly apt a few weeks before Halloween! I've never made it before, but its something I've always wanted to try. Jamie's recipes are my favourites, so I know it'll be a gooden.
Another one of my favourite blog, with stunning photography. Also by a blogger called Rosie (must be a name thing, ey?) Anything 'triple chocolate' is already sold to me!
Jamie's back... I snooped on his website and bookmarked the majority of it. Banoffee is one of my favourite flavour combinations and seems a little easier than making the
A different take on a classic. I love a good apple pie in the winter months, so I thought I'd try out a new idea!
What's next up on your baking list?
