Chocolate makes everything better!! :)

 It's no mistake that chocolate is a MAJOR guilty pleasure. When consumed, it releases "feel-good" chemicals, endorphins, which make us feel happy :) And who doesn't want to feel happy all the time? Zat is my birthday cake in the picture. (But this was a couple of years ago now) :) WHOO hooo all the same. 

 Sometimes, life is good. Sometimes life is bad. That's the nature of Life. That's the nature of Nature. It's all a cycle :) BUT, that's probably another blog post in its own right. My point is, EAT CHOCOLATE all the time. Not like, scoff-down-an-entire-bar and cry when you break out in facial spots! But, everything in moderation :) Treat yourself to a little piece every day. It really IS true, chocolate makes everything better. Read on.... 

 1. (THIS is my favourite chocolate dessert) The 'Chocolate Volcano' from Madison's on Highfield's Street. YUUUUUM. It's an innocent looking cake, and then the chocolate sauce oozes out from the inside. 
                                                   

 2. As some writing on a celebration cake... 

3. As a dusting in the lovely Mint Mocha...

                                             

 4.As ice-cream. And Nutella sauce in a Ferrero Rocher Cookie Dough (which also contains chocolate chips). This is from Koyla's Sweet Treats Dessert Parlour next to the Empire.  

                                              

 5. Again, as sauce on Belgian Waffles. CakeSmiles on East Park Road! 

                                            

 6. Or...Islamic Relief's Cakes4Syria epic chocolate fudge cake!!! 

                                              
                                          

 7. DARK CHOCOLATE FTW

                                          
           

 8. As a coating on glittery profiteroles ;)

                                          

 9. As a cake topper. 

                                        

 10. To decorate around a friend's birthday cake :)

                                                       


 11. To eat all month round ;)

                                      

 12. Hot Chocolate. Mmmmm. A warm cuddle for the mouth.

                                         

 13. And if all else fails, wrap yourself in something chocolate. And wear chocolat-y eye-shadow. I like my chocolate scarf :D :) :P 

                                         

 So there it is! Chocolate makes my world rock. I personally also like Hotel Chocolat's Ginger Chocolate. It's yumaaaay. 

 What rocks your world? Take care all *big smiles*

The Define Story

"Capture your imagination and let your true identity beautifully blossom." There was once a girl who loved to dress up. She enjoyed holding her grandma’s handbags, adorning herself with her mother’s jewels and wearing her own creations.                     A little girl born with glitter in her veins.  She was mesmerised by anything that sparkled. A little girl, who no matter how hard she tried, never felt like she fitted in.  Then after years of trying to conform, she gave up. She realised that some people were just not meant to fit in. They were born to stand out. Those drawn to DEFINE are looking for something bespoke, something classically timeless. A statement piece. Be inspired by the most interesting yet graceful pieces, individually hand-picked. With a keen eye for detail and love of textures, mixed together with a wonderfully sophisticated colour palette, our personal collection is tailored to your needs.

How to have a Harry Potter themed birthday.

HP was the first novel which got me hooked onto reading and will always be a firm favourite. The starry castle, the wizards flying high to the mermaids swimming deep down in The Lake have remained with me since. So it was only fitting that I have a HP themed birthday tea!  Read on to be mesmerised by my magical mischief... Prop ideas.  My backdrop was going to be a brick wall effect prop I had made previously. I was going to use this to create the King's Cross Station/entering Diagon Alley look, but the material wouldn't stay up :( Never mind!  What's great about it is that it is really quick to make, because all you need is a sheet of white cotton, with some red or brown rectangles printed on in paint.  I used the witch's hat, Harry's glasses and broomstick as the main props on my table. You could use both the broomstick and the witch's hat as photo props too for your friends! I think using these instead of card props is way more fun and authentic.  In the midd

Harry Potter and Social Re-birth: Resurrection and Redemption part 1

*Warning* S.A.Sheikh felt like having an Essay Shake. Worst joke. Please tell me you got it. Apologies for the slowness in blog posting; I have been busy with Other Things lately. Sooooo...to make up for it, I have decided to publish this extra long one to make up for lost time. And just in time and the whole 'Resurrection' theme for New Years :) I admit, it's actually been edited from my final year dissertation essay, but I've left out The Parts You Use To Pad Out The Word Count. To everyone who scoffs at English Lit graduates... I bite thine thumb at thee. (Which is a really big Shakespearean 'in your face' gesture actually.) I got to write 5000 words on Harry Potter *smug face* Having been translated into 72 languages and sold approximately 450 million copies wordlwide, Harry Potter, published over a span of 10 years, has been a global success. But it has also been met with suspicion. The UAE removed the books as they felt it 'contravene[d] Islamic v
