*How To* Chocolate Muffins

    Hello everyone! As I wrote in my last two posts, here comes the one, which will help you to bake these delicious chocolate muffins. The receipt is mix of English and Slovak receipts, the bigger part comes from the English one. I only changed the amount of the particular ingredients. So good luck with baking and let's get into this! :)
   *Sjuz*
 Ingredients:
*2 eggs
*100g caster sugar
* 220g "Polohrubá múka" (Sorry I didn't even find this in English, it's a kind of flour. For the English people the plain flour should be enough)
*2 teaspoons of baking powder
*a pinch of salt
*170ml milk
*1/4 teaspoon vanilla powder/ extract
*125g unsalted butter
*100g dark chocolate

Oven: Preheat the oven to 170°C
   1st Step:
Roughly cut the chocolate.

   Note:
Here comes a bit of multitasking. Step 2,3,4 and 5 have to be done together. So prepare for a bit of rush but trust me, after two or three times of doing this, it's going to be easy-peasy! ;)

   2nd Step:
Melt the butter on the medium fire and occasionally stir with the wooden spoon.

    3rd Step:
Put the eggs and sugar in a freestanding electric mixer and beat until pale and well combined.

   4th Step:
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.

    5th Step:
In another bowl, I prefer a cup, combine the milk and the vanilla powder/ extract.

    6th Step:
It's time for some mixing. Now, beat all the four mixtures GRADUALLY together and mix until well incorporated. Come on make your arm hurt a bit. ;) *hah*

    7th Step:
When all the mixtures are properly incorporated, it's time to add the chocolate. And mix again until it looks like on the photo below. :)


    8th Step:
   You can either put the mixture into the paper cases or just right into the form. If you are doing it like me, right into the form, you should first spread it with butter. It helps getting it off. :)

9th Step:
  Fill the form/ paper cases with the mixture until two-thirds full and finally put in the oven for about 30 minutes!

The End!

♫ Friends & Snow ♫

 "When you feel my heat. Look into my eyes. It's where my demons hide..." 

   Hello everyone! So as I promised yesterday here comes the outfit post. These photos were taken on Friday. My two girls and I went after school to look at this year's Christmas markets. It felt really Christmasy because the snow was already covering almost everything and you could smell gingerbread all over the place. After this visit we went to the city walls to take these photos. We had nice chat and the weekend could start.
   Today I went for a walk with my mum. It turned to be quite long, 2 hours and when we came home our legs were hurting. :) But it was worth it. Everything was cover with snow and it was so beautiful. This is one of the reasons why I love winter so much. We also collected some cones for my Christmas DIY and if everything will go right you'll see what for I used them. But I already know, that this snowy, cold and slippery adventure will I do at least once more because I need few more items for my DIYs. But I don't complain. The only problem is that today I didn't learn almost anything. *gasp*
   All right that's all from me for today. See you during the week as I'll update the *How to* chocolate muffins.

  I don't know if you know that feeling, when you listen to a specific song and you feel tickling in your belly and some weird feeling in the entire you. Well, this is the song that makes me feel like that. I really can't describe it but it's really nice. I love this song and the band itself. I finally got the whole album in my iPhone and it's amazing!! :)

☆ December Randoms ☆

   Hello everyone! So again after a bit longer break new post is here. I was/am/going to be super busy. The Christmas/Winter holidays are getting closer and closer *screaming on the top of my lungs full of excitement* and I'm not only getting into the Christmas spirit but also digging into the huge amount of learning for the exams. *gasp* Also, I made quite long list of DIY things I want to do and afterwards upload here. With 'things' I mean either baking goodies or easy Christmas decorations tutorials. Hopefully I'll be able to show you all of them but now I struggle along one big problem, which is that big, that I can't do two or three things from this list. But I'm still searching and hopefully I'll find this mysterious item. :)
   This week I already have prepared three posts for you. Today's first one is going to be full of randoms photos/ pictures because this is the first post of the beautiful month December. :) Then, you'll see one outfit post, which will not have that much photos as usual but still, I think they are fine. The third post is gonna be a *How to* Chocolate Cookies. They really are delicious so you can definitely try making them. :)
   See you tomorrow (or in very soon future). Love you!
*Sjuz*
   There's still not much snow but who cares. I'm so happy and every time I walk to or out of school and it's snowing, I smile all the way through and people are looking at me with very weird looks. But whatever! I can't wait until the time of taking out my snowboard comes and I'll be once again able to ride the slopes and jump tricks. Oh dear, I want this so much. :)




   I'm 16 and have a Advent calendar and I love it. I don't understand teens that think Advent calendars are not cool. That's the best thing with which you can hold on the Christmas spirit for whole December until Christmas. Mine is this Milka one and I'm really enjoying it. Every time I come home from school it's such a nice feeling to open the window and find out what shape of chocolate I get and what kind of picture is underneath. :)
   This is another thing that you'll see here during December. I'll also do the *how to* Brownies. I really like this receipt because it's the least sweet option of this cake. Also I'll do it in a special Christmas edition. ;)



This happens all the time lately. She always falls asleep on my legs.
She is soooo sweet! :)

  Well, I got my own Christmas lights that I already have in my room. I still didn't find the right place for them but still it's so pretty having these goodies shining in my room. :) If you are interested where to get them, all you have to do is to make your way in Tesco and there's bunch of different shapes and colours.






And as every month, I changed my both Home and Lock screen wallpaper and here are the pictures that make me feel really festive and I absolutely love them. :)
   The picture above is on my Lock screen and the picture under is on my home screen. :)

 And here are few of the songs I'm listening to on repeat. :)

   If I asked you if you know who is Baauer, you would probably say no. But if I said that he is the one who created the well known Harlem Shake, you would probably know what I'm talking about. So this is one of the songs he made. I finally got it my iPhone and I'm playing it on repeat. !! :)

  Oh dear, this is so perfect. I can't stop listening to this.

  Now please take a moment to appreciate how good the new album of these guys is. I like most of the songs and in my opinion is the best album out of those three. :)

  And the best at the end. This week The Vamps uploaded their new song with music video, called Wild Heart. All I can tell, is that I'm in love and can't get the song out of my head. I feel like their almost on the top of the list of my favourite bands. But of course, they can't beat my beloved Linkin Park.

✺ First Snow & Burgundy Hat ✺

    "I want to be on another place, I hate when you say you don't understand."

   Hello everyone! So it's finally done! Today I finally wrote the huge and extremely difficult exam from English, level B2. Honestly, it was really weird. I did expect something a bit different according to the papers I was doing from last years as practice. This one was easy but in the difficult way. I'm not sure if you understand what I mean. But now I'm just hoping with my fingers crossed until the 13th of December when the results come out. I really hope I pass and can go to the speaking park on January 9th
   But I'm happy that it's behind me. Now I can fully look forward to Christmas. Since Monday I've got in real Christmas spirit because it started to snow. The first snow of this winter!! It was snowing all day so all I was doing during school was looking out of the window and dreaming about me finally getting on my beloved snowboard. Hopefully this whole Christmasy- wintery spirit will last until the big day. Right now I'm messing around the house singing Christmas carols and my parents are just face-palming themselves. *haha*
   I'm already think about December posts. I have an idea of doing loads of DIY posts either about presents or some decorations. Just let me know in the comments what do you think about this. I already have some ideas either from my head or from Pinterest. That brings me to the Pinterest thing. About two weeks ago I created new Board on Pinterest where you can find some very interesting and cute DIYs and some of them I may do and update here. Check it out here. :) Thank you
   So guys. That's all for today. I'd like to update a December Favourites on Saturday because on Sunday the December starts and I've just remembered that I have to buy an Advent chocolate calendar. :)
