Festive Mugs | BLOGMAS DAY 21

Festive Mugs | BLOGMAS DAY 21
 I love making things festive in my house, even the mugs! These Christmas-inspired mugs are so easy to make and will make your hot chocolate even more fitting for the holiday season. Why not prepare these the night before Christmas Eve and then enjoy them with my Peppermint White Chocolate recipe?

I’d love to see your creations! Tweet me your designs are @fessjarmer and i’ll share them!

Ingredients

White chocolate
Red and Green sprinkles, or create your own designs (I found mine at Home Bargains)

Method

1. Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie or in the microwave (30 second blasts).

 

2. Dip the rim of the mugs in the chocolate.

 


3. Quickly dip the chocolate rims into the sprinkles. Place in the fridge to set.

 

 

And if you’re interested…

Easter Coconut and Vanilla Popcorn Slices

Usually Easter is a chocolate lover’s favourite time of year, but as there are always an abundance of chocolatey recipes going around, I thought I’d try and bake something a bit different! I originally found this recipe on Pinterest, on www.somethingswanky.com but I’ve mixed and changed it up a little […]

Spaghetti Milanese

I love a good pasta dish, especially when you can tell a lot of care and time has been put into the sauce. A sauce made with love! The following recipe was taken from the book Leon, of which I had bought for me second-hand (although it’s […]

  • Just a little notice from me to say that my insta account is going to be changing a whole lot from here on ☺️ I’m swotting up on editing, downloading Lightroom and am actually going to start a theme on here! ⭐️ I’d never really focused too much before (clearly) on what I was putting out. I’d think about it a tiny bit, then point, shoot, add an insta filter and that was it! It partly comes down to laziness! You might not know that I’m actually a fairly creative person but it had never occurred to me to show this on insta. I also like quirky fashion but you never see this because this is only a food and travel account, right? I didn’t think I was meant to be like that on here.. I never was and thought why start now, it’s too late, right? So I’ve decided it’s not. I’m going to being putting SO much more effort into it because I know I’ll enjoy it and begin to love my feed more! Sounds sad but I just love scrolling through ‘put together’ accounts and so why shouldn’t mine be like that?? I guess I’m going to have to get creative when it comes to mentioning my new recipes but maybe this will translate into those photos too. I’m hoping this will help create my own ‘look’ with food photography. I’m constantly looking at others and trying to be the same but it’s just not me. I want to make it simpler for myself but better. Okay, enough rambling! Sorry for this essay! It might take me a while to post more photos as I’m going to be a lot slower with it but bare with! Let me know if you have any thoughts on this. What do you think about starting a theme halfway through your feed . . . . #instatheme #pastelcolors #pastelblue #fashionistas #fdblogger #travelblogger #blogger #changeoftheme #doors #doorsofinstagram #glosbloggers #bloggingtogetheruk #ootd #dowhatyoulove #freelancelife #outfit #mademoiselle #stripytee #maisonlabiche
  • I just can’t sit still today! So far I’ve listed more items on EBay and Depop (will share on my insta story); written a blog post which I’m just waiting for images for (hopefully) and have had lunch. I have no idea why I’m so hyper today! Yesterday I was so calm and also got lots done! I think I just need to chill for a second and not get overwhelmed by the number of tasks to do! So I’m just going to sit here and write my shopping list for the week. What are you up to?
  • So I wish I had posted this mackerel salad yesterday as it’s perfect when some sun is out! Today the sun seems to be hiding amongst the mist and fog. Anyone else got this near them?? Anyways, this salad recipe, full of healthy omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins galore is now on my blog ☺️ I used the best sustainable tinned mackerel from @fish4ever_recipes gifted to me by @traidcraft 🙌🏼 the great thing about this brand is that you can trace the catch right back to the boat it was caught on, just by typing In the code on the side of the can! Cool huh? Link in bio! 💕
  • Have been on the phone for what feels like the last 3 millions years, so a quick lunch for me today. I really enjoy @sabra houmous extra because of the added oil and pine nuts!! What are you having for lunch today?
  • YUM! It’s 10:45am and I could definitely eat this right now! This was from Wagamamas in Cheltenham last week; it’s the teriyaki lamb (I think). A massive thumbs up from me! Anyways, I’m up and already been out to the post office as I sold my first thing on EBay last night 😀🙌🏼 So happy I can finally call myself a seller 😆 What are your plans for this morning? I’m about to list a few more items and then get on to sending off some emails (in the sun of course!) that will hopefully lead to some sponsored posts in the future! Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 . . . #wagamama #wagamamacheltenham #teriyakilamb #workingfromhome #emails #ebaylisting #todolist #glosbloggers
  • This has been my set-up this morning! The best thing about working from home is getting out on days like this. I’m forever grateful for being able to do this 🙏🏻 Sunny day essential: water with lemon 🍋 to stay hydrated.

  • This what my eve looks like (minus my bath!) it’s just started pouring down with rain but isn’t that the best sound when you’re in the bath? I’ve just popped on the Detox Dust purifying face mask by @cleanbeautyco and have done a little tutorial in my insta story if you wanna check it out ☺️💕 now I’m just going to have a lovely soak after a day of headaches and tiredness (but still pushing through with witting) and going to read more of this ‘forest bathing’ book 🌱 have a lovely eve guys! . . . #cleanbeauty #lifestyleblogger #forestbathing #shinrinyoku #myeve #relaxing #lbloggersuk #raining #cosy
  • I could definitely do with some comfort food today as I’m not feeling great. I’m dreaming of my fave and final meal from our trip to Amsterdam this month. This dish is known as ‘stamppot’ and consists of a frankfurter-type sausage, mash and a meatball. The version I had from ‘La Falote’ (can’t find them on insta) was very good. All the food there is home cooked by a Dutch chef who runs the kitchen on his own, and honestly, I felt liked I just walked into a Dutch home. The food has that sort of feeling. The waitress there was really friendly too, and even gave us a traditional Dutch lollipop at the end. I can’t remember the name but it was salty and sweet and I enjoyed it! ☺️ recommend this place for sure! . . . #amsterdam #fdblogger #amsterdamfood #amsterdamguide #stamppot #dutchfood #dutch #netherlands #holland #travelblogger
  • Just posted this Argentinian-inspired veggie chilli with chimichurri sauce 🙌🏼 🇦🇷 it’s flavoured with smoked paprika and packed full of veggies such as squash and courgette; it’s the perfect ‘throw everything in one pot’ meal. There’s also some info one what Argentinians usually eat throughout the day, thanks to the lovely Caitlin, who grew up in Buenos Aires! Very jealous! Now I’ve just migrated over to the sofa for my Pinterest scheduling for the week! What are you currently up to? P.S it has turned grey here! 😭 . . . #Argentina #argentinianfood #chimichurri #veggiechilli #veggierecipes #veganrecipes #vegan #instafood #fdblogger #atozcooking #cookingaroundtheworld
