MÃ¥l Paper Daily Goal Setter Review

Hey beaut's!

Diary's, journals and planners are a must for me, I'm forever writing to-do lists, keeping track of my work hours and my social schedule, also not forgetting all of my blogging ideas so it's a definite necessity for me! Recently I was introduced to a brand new stationery brand called MÃ¥l Paper who have just launched their very first product - the Daily Goal Setter planner - and obviously my planner obsessed self couldn't wait to see it for myself!
The Daily Goal Setter is the perfect planner to make your goals clearer, help you to be more productive and to structure your days. The Daily Goal Setter features sections for long-term and short-term goals, weekly and monthly reviews, daily plans sections and theres plenty of space to write to-do lists and tasks that need to be remembered, theres a 2019 and 2020 calender at the back of the planner as well as a general notes section! Theres also positive quotes all throughout the planner which I really appreciate, it's always helpful when you might not be having the best of days or weeks! 
The actual style and quality of the planner itself I love, it's made up of PU faux feather which feels so soft and well made and would be pretty robust if your storing/throwing it in your bag, I chose the grey colour but the planner also comes in black and pink. The planner has 244 pages, lasts for 6 months, has 100 gsm ivory paper and contains 2 ribbon dividers and a document holder at the back of the planner.
If your someone who really needs to get more productive or if your already a planner addict I cant recommend the MÃ¥l Paper Daily Goal Setter enough, not only does it looks so nice it really helps you get shizz done, it declutters your mind and lets you document as much or as little as you like! I think the planner would make an awesome gift too because as far as planners go this one feels super luxurious!

You can find the new MÃ¥l Paper Daily Goal Setter for £20.95 HERE.

Oreo Cheesecake Recipe!

 Hey beaut's!

I'm sure you all know by now how much I love my bakes and cakes, I'm always sharing my sweet recipes on my blog but something I'd never attempted before was a cheesecake!! I'm a huge lover of Oreos (and cheesecake) so I knew my first ever cheesecake needed to be an Oreo one, I was also inspired by a recipe I found on Jane's Patisserie as her Oreo cheesecake looks immense, but I've adapted the recipe to suit me more!
What You Will Need - Oreo Biscuit Base
*2 packets or 300g Oreos, I used 1 pack of original and 1 pack of brownie flavour.
*100g Melted Unsalted Butter

What You Will Need - Cheesecake Filling
375g full fat Mascarpone or cream cheese. I used mascarpone because I found it much cheaper.
63g Icing Sugar
150ml Double Cream 
Half a tsp Vanilla Extract
100g Oreos, I used 50g of original and 50g of brownies flavour.  

What You Will Need - Decorations
150 ml Double Cream
2 tbsp Icing Sugar
12 Oreos + Oreo Crumbs

How To - Biscuit Base
1. Blitz up the Oreos to a fine crumb and pour in your melted butter and mix until it feels and looks like wet sand then pop it in a spring form tin and press down firm to pack those crumbs together. 
2. Pop into the fridge or freezer to chill/set whilst you work on the cheesecake filling.

How To - Cheesecake Filling
1. Pop the mascarpone or cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla extract into a large mixing bowl and whizz together with an electric/standing mixer until smooth.
2. Once smooth, pop in your double cream and mix again until well combined and thickened.
3. Blitz up more Oreo crumbs and add them to your cheesecake mixture and mix well to combine.
4. Heap the cheesecake mixture on top of the biscuit base and chill in the fridge ideally overnight however, I made mine first thing in the morning and left it to chill all day until dinner time and ours was fine. Basically the longer you can chill it the better!
5. Once the cheesecake has completely chilled and firmed up decorate how you like, I whipped up some double cream and added swirls on top then I used left over Oreo's crumbs as sprinkles and broke Oreo biscuits in half to pop around where I had piped the whipped up double cream and voila!
What I love about using Oreo's is that it's that ultimate cookies and cream flavour and you can adapt it so much now that Oreo's come in different flavours, I think the peanut butter flavoured Oreos would work well in this for any of those peanut butter lovers out there!

NOTD - Leighton Denny Wanderlust SS19 Collection!


Hey beaut's!

When it comes to nails Leighton Denny are where the parties attttt...They have so many pretty colours and finishes to choose from and their new Spring/Summer collection 'Wanderlust' is just gorgeous! 

The Leighton Denny Wanderlust Collection consists of six shades all of which have been inspired by the high-life, memorable locations and summer sun, theres everything from nudes, red, gold and even a deep nautical navy to feast your eyes 'or should I say nails' on! I've been giving the shade 'Im In VIP*' a whirl which is a soft, cream pastel nude and I have to say I'm surprisingly in love with it because NEWSFLASH... I had never really worn a nail polish this light or this nude before, I just thought it wouldn't suit me but how wrong was I! It's a such a versatile shade that goes with anything and looks very clean and classy, it will also look epic with a tan and make those tootsies look mega cute too!
The formula of 'Im In VIP' is nice but it does need around 3 thin coats for complete coverage on my nails, the first couple of coats can be a little streaky but it doesn't bubble up at all and it drys really quickly which is always a bonus for me, especially when 3 coats are needed. Lasting power was really good though, I'm really heavy handed at work and at home with housework and what not and these kept up really well and didn't start chipping away until 3-4 days of wear which is really good for me, that's without a top coat too.
I really like the look of all the shades within this collection which is rare for me, I'm definitely going to need the coral and the gold shade that's for sure! Have you tried any of the shades from this collection beaut's? What did you think? I'd love to know!
