randomness

Posted on October 19th, 2011 by Tracey

The lovely Courtney has tagged me, so i’m going to tell you seven random things about myself and i’ll try to make them as juicy as possible..

ONE. i’m a ‘reality’ tv tragic. yes i was up last night until 1.30AM watching the final Bachelorette even though I knew who she picked (JP!) for months already.

TWO. i need to do SOMETHING with my hair. ugh.

THREE. i don’t wear makeup, but am loving Garnier’s BB cream. I just wish it had a higher SPF.

FOUR. i’ve always wanted to design and build my own home. one day, the dream is still there.

FIVE. my last holiday was malaysia in 2006. i need more holidays away…

SIX. i’m used to being the mum who chasing her daughter in & out of the room and the mum who gets scratched and pinched by her daughter. but i’m not used to being the one that no one talks to because of it.

SEVEN. 6 hours of sleep is just nice for me!

So I’m supposed to tag 15 people to do the same on their blogs – whaaa… Let me just tag as many as I can, lol.

the upgrade

… or Tracey grows up, lol.

my sad little coin purse is past it’s prime, and really, a 30 year old woman that carries lots of different cards (health cards, bank cards, doctors appointment cards, discount cards…) should have a proper purse! I had a few minutes inbetween running errands this morning on my own so I popped into Strandbags which was advertising 25% off – who can resist? After checking out a few purses and wallets, I found my perfect purse which fit everything I need but didn’t encourage more crap.

Sad little coin purse –

Lovely new purse –

Much better!

Treat Yourself: Nutella Mousse Tart

Posted on October 12th, 2011 by Tracey

I had a hankering for something sweet, today. And to be in the kitchen! So I grabbed a couple of things from the supermarket and while dinner was cooking, I got start on a Nutella Mousse Tart. YUMMO. Make it today, make it tomorrow – just try it if you’re a fan of Nutella 🙂

Ingredients

Base –
1 and a half packets of choc ripple cookies, crumbed
Half a stick of butter, melted

Filling –
Half a jar of Nutella
300ml of thickened cream, whipped
250g of marscapone

Let’s get started!

Combine the crumbed cookies & melted butter in a bowl and then press into a non-stick pan. Stick it in the freezer.
Mix the Nutella and marscapone in a bowl until combined. Fold in the whipped cream until it looks like a mousse.
Take the base out from the freezer and fill it with the nutella mixture.
Chill in the fridge for an hour to set, and then enjoy!

Too easy.
