THE PART-TIME MERMAID

It's finally November, which means I already exchanged the pumpkins on my porch for golden baubles, glitter ornaments and silver candles. Not only has the decoration in the Mermaid household changed, but also the Mermaid's wardrobe and makeup! It's usually this time of the year when I get bored of all those autumn colours (don't get me wrong, I absolutely dig 'em in September & October) and all my orange, maroon and auburn clothes get packed away for the next year. Apparently it's not socially acceptable to get out my Christmas Jumpers plus my neighbours already secretly hate me for going aaaall out with the Christmas decor, so I usually settle for grey, black and white simple clothes. To make everything a bit more wha wha woom I love doing purple make up! I think it really suits my blond hair and fair complexion and for someone who doesn't really experiment with make up, purple is already a huge step out of my comfort zone. Today I'd love to shar...

Ingredients: 250g flour 1tsp baking powder a pinch of salt 115g butter 200g sugar 2 eggs 2 small apples cinnamon Directions: Pre-heat your oven to 180°C. Prepare your muffin tins. Mix eggs, butter, sugar until smooth. Slowly add flour, salt and baking powder, then mix thoroughly again. Cut your apples into small slices and combine them with the dough. (I'd recommend to use a spoon for this as the apples get stuck in the whisk otherwise!) Fill the dough into the muffin tins and bake for about 20-40 minutes (The recipe I used recommended 20 minutes but my muffins definitely took longer to bake) Sprinkle Cinnamon on top, then let them cool down for about 20 minutes.               Hope you liked this quick and easy recipe! Apple Muffins are one of my favourite things to make when it comes to baking in Autumn, but today I tried out a new recipe to spice things up! I personally like this new one better since the muffins turn out waaaay more mois...

Hi there fellow mermaids! Yaaay I'm back! and so is University/School/whatever ! I'm so excited to finally blog again, I've got tons of ideas, new motivation and *drum roll* if everything goes all right a new template for The Part-Time Mermaid soon! There have been a few technical issues on here lately, which is partly mine, partly Bloggers and partly my template's fault. Hopefully now everything's back to normal and you can enjoy a lovely bug-free blog!  You might wonder why I haven't blogged in such a long time. Long story short- I was feeling terribly mental illness- wise. I really don't want to get into it right now because it's all really emoshhh but don't worry I'll make a seperate post on that. For you nosy people out there and also to kind of apologise to y'all. I might not have an audience as big as Zoella's or Louise Pentlands, but it still felt to me like I let my readers down. Anywayyys let's get back to the fun...

Hello there fellow mermaids! I'm back to blogging! Yay! As I've shared with you previously, I had to stop blogging because I was feeling horrible mentally. I used to suffer from depression and anxiety, but haven't had an attack in a year, but this summer I couldn't handle life at all for some reason. I had to cut back on stress or otherwise everything would've gone downhill. Luckily I'm feeling a lot better now, mainly due to the amazing support from my boyfriend. Blogging is obviously something I really enjoy and therefore I was gutted to not provide you with quality content. But now I'm back, more motivated than ever! I thought sharing one of my favourite recipes would be a good blogging come back, so there you go! What you'll need... 100g butter 100g caster sugar 175g flour 1 tsp. baking powder 2EL milk (almond or cow) 50-100g chocolate (depending on how dark and chocolatey you want them to be) Marshmallows Melt the butter, then mix...

Hi there fellow mermaids! The summer is getting to an end (at least here in the UK) which means holidays are almost over too or already are- depending where you live. I personally start University at 12th September- my senior year!! (Let me know in the comments below which grade you're in and when you start/started school!) Alright, now let's get to the fun part. For this post I collaborated with Steph from Steph's World and we decided to do a post on Studying Tips (as you might have already guessed by the title haha) but this one's a little different from the ordinary ones. Keep on reading to get some tips from someone who is still in University and someone who has already graduated! How to take notes the right way and why you should make them look pretty It doesn't matter if you're still in High School or already in University- taking notes is always important, however if you don't do it properly you'll end up not wanting to study with...
