Baking Chocolate Muffins!

Image
Hey Guys x My family and I have been baking a lot more recently as my sister got a few bakery books for Christmas. However, for my sister's birthday in April, she got a mixing bowl and an electric whisk. Together, they're kind of like a KitchenAid, which is really good for baking! So yesterday we decided that we would make Chocolate muffins, and I think they came out really well! So obviously, I took pictures so that I could share the recipes with you guys! I hope you enjoy the recipe! Ingredients Two Eggs 120g Dark Chocolate 130g Plain Flour 2tsp Baking Powder 160g Unsalted Butter (melted) 200g Caster Sugar 160ml Whole Milk   Also, you'll need 50g Cocoa Powder, 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract and a pinch of salt.     The Method   First of all, preheat the oven to 170 degrees.    Beat the flour and the eggs together until well combined. The recipe says that you should use an electric whisk but I'm sure that if ...

An Introduction To Lou's World!

Image
Hey Guys x So when I hit my 1 year blogiversary, I started looking at some of my old posts. I then looked at some other bloggers and got addicted to reading people's first posts. And I noticed something about my blog that was different to a lot of other people's blogs. I never started off with an introduction. My first post was called 'Being You' and was about being yourself rather than being someone else to fit in and make friends. But I never introduced myself on my blog, which I think is really weird. You guys have gotten to know me through my posts rather than from an introduction. So, because it's a year since I started blogging, I wanted to give you guys an introduction to me and to my blog. I hope you enjoy! So, hey guys! My name is Bria Lou but I call myself Lou, just because I prefer it. (Lou isn't my surname, I just prefer not to mention it on the internet. Plus I want to change it anyway) I started blogging for many reasons. O...

April Favourites | 2015

Image
Hey Guys x I have been doing 'Favourites' posts for a year! That's so incredible to me! If you didn't notice, in the bar above this post, you can check out all of my favourites posts in one place, which makes things a bit easier as they are one of the 'posts' that you guys seem to like a lot! Also, I didn't post yesterday because I was posting this today and I didn't want to post 3 days in a row. I also probably won't be posting tomorrow, so the next post from me should be up on Friday! Anyway, let me get on with my favourites! Favourite Movie: The DUFF   I reviewed this movie here and revealed how much I love it! I won't go into what it's about, because you can read the review, but I think it's a really great film and I really do recommend you to see it if you haven't! I also own the book but I haven't even started reading it because more books keep coming into my life that are demanding I read them! Right now, I...

My First Blogiversary!

Image
  I can't believe I'm saying this. Today, as you read this, on April 26th 2015, it is my blog's one year anniversary! That is freaking mental! Seriously crazy! It doesn't even feel like I've been blogging for that long, but in the same way, it feels like I've never not been blogging. I honestly can't remember what my favourite hobby was before blogging came along. I had just got into YouTube, but I never took to any of my hobbies like I've taken to blogging. I went into blogging completely blind. I did not have any friends who blogged and I didn't know what to blog about. The name 'Lou's World' was an instant thing, I had always imagined having a brand (of anything) and calling it 'Lou's World', because it just means a lot to me. Something funny about when I started my blog is that, on the first day of blogging, I posted 4 times! The posts were: Being You , Friendships , Divergent Review and Exam Pressure ...

Sims 4 Get To Work | Game Review

Image
  Hey Guys x   So, something you may or may not know about me is that I am an avid simmer!   Since I was 12 I have been obsessed, whether playing on a phone or on the WII, I'd always find a way to play this game!   Anyway, I moved onto the PC version pretty quickly when I realised how much more advanced it was than the WII and phone versions!   Anyway, I went through the usual thing of starting at the beginning and working my way up, so from Sims 2, to Sims 3, and finally Sims 4.   I'm just going to talk about Sims 4 in this post, but I might do a comparison some other time.   So, the best things that people say about Sims 4 are the 'create a Sim' aspect and a few things that are different from Sims 3, such as pregnancy tests.   'Get To Work' is the first Sims 4 expansion pack (which basically adds different aspects to the game)   The expansion pack adds 4 careers to the usual game. But rather than careers...
