Swedish Apple Sponge Cake

Ingredients:
2 eggs
2dl sugar
50g butter
3dl flour
2tsk baking powder
1dl water
Apple slices with some sugar & cinnamon

Start off with whisking the sugar & eggs together. 
Melt the butter & mix the flour with the baking powder. 
Add butter, water & the dry ingredients to the batter, stir it gently together.
Pour the batter into a baking pan & stick in the apple slices.
Bake off in 175 Celsius degrees about 35-45 minutes. The cake is normally ready when it's golden brown on top.

I prefer to eat the cake while it's hot with a little bit of custard or créme anglaise. 
Yummie, let me know if you try this out.

Inspirational collage - Balcony

I thought that I would share the inspirational collage I did for the balcony a while ago. 
The only item that I actually ended up buying is the stool. We bought 4 of them and placed 3 in the corner as a mini lounge sofa, the last one as an table. I'm still thinking of buying the yellow paradise pillow as an accent colour for the other blue ones we have today.
If I had room for the rest of the items I would buy them all today. ^^

Gucci Flora EDP

I was looking for a new spring/summer perfume & my eyes caught this beautiful bottle, Flora Eau De Parfum by Gucci. I decided to give it a try & I immediately fell in love with the scent. The scent is sophisticated with a floral crisp twist that's suits every urban city woman on the go, or a night out in the city lights. 

Flora has the top notes of fresh citrus & peony. It then lingers into the base notes of rose & osmanthus flower balanced by sandalwood & patchouli.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Creme - Monte Carlo & Vancouver

A while ago I bought these matte lip cream's from NYX Cosmetics in Monte Carlo & Vancouver.
The formula is to me some what between a liquid lipstick & a stain. Sadly it's not that opaque as I imagined when I bought them, a lip pen underneath is required. Other than that they are crazy soft on the lips, dry semi matte, doesn't dry out the lips and are lovely to wear the whole day.
I am now longing for fall when I see me wear Vancouver more often. Dark lips and fall is a perfect match, don't you think?
