The Tofoo Company Southern fried tofu
It seems the start of Spring has signalled many brands to expand their range of products, and Tofoo is one such brand. I tend to only buy their tofu blocks, as they are pretty affordable and their firm tofu is good for scramble recipes.

The Bakehouse chocolate and orange cookies
I have been a bit sick lately and in those moments of sickness, all I ever want to eat is comfort food. And there is nothing more comforting than a chocolate chip cookie.

E.L.F hydrating lip shine
The cold weather here in the UK always does a total number on my lips - they can get very chapped and dry, and I will end up with a split lip at least once a week if I don't have a really good lip balm on hand. The downside with this (aside from the … Continue reading E.L.F hydrating lip shine
