Valentines Week - Heart Shaped Biscuits

As it is valentines week, you may know I'm posting Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and for today i'm showing you how to make some lovely heart shaped biscuits covered in chocolate. These could be used as a gift for someone, or if you're like me and haven't got a valentine, you could make them for your best friend or family like i did.

This is just a plain biscuit recipe that is super easy to make, but you could add different flavours to make them a bit more exciting if you'd like.

You will need:

- Margerine/butter - 100g

- Caster sugar - 50g

- Plain flour - 125g

- Chocolate for decorating

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 160oc. 

2. Line a baking tray to stop biscuits sticking, I like to use a small dust of flour on each one.

3. Cream the butter and sugar together.

4. Mix in the flour, and then bring together using your hands to knead into a ball.

5. Roll out to about 1cm thick and cut out your shapes placing them on the baking tray.

6. Place in the oven and cook for about 10-15 minutes.

7. After cooked take out and place on cooling rack until completely cool.

8. Melt your selected chocolate in a bowl, I did mine in the microwave, but you can melt it over boiling water on the hob too, be careful not to burn it or yourself as this happened with my white chocolate.

9. Decorate you biscuits however you wish and leave to cool.

Valentines Week - Nails

It is valentines day on Friday, so I am making this valentines week, where i will be posting today, Wednesday and Friday with some valentines inspired posts. You may not have a boyfriend, girlfriend, partner, or valentine at all, i know i don't i will forever be doing nothing alone. So today is slightly on par with my last post about nails, as i have painted my nails for valentines day. Even if you're not going out for valentines you can always use this for just a night out, or special occasion.

This look is simple and easy to do yourself, with a matte red base and black sparkly tips, i did the tips free hand with a very steady hand. You can change this up and use all different colours to match outfits and such, but as it is valentines week i chose black.

The nail polish used is:

-Star gazer in red

- NYC matte top coat

- black sparkle from wilkinson

I know this was super short but i hope you liked this, and expect to see more.
