J’adore kissing. Kissing should be compulsory EVERY day.
It’s no secret that I adore love, and this movie is love personified, which is why Moulin Rouge is my favourite movie. EVAH. It was also the first movie I saw with the only boy I’ve ever loved… sigh.

Come to the Edge
Come to the edge.
We might fall.
Come to the edge.
It’s too high!
Come to the edge!
And they came,
And he pushed,
And they flew.It’s already known that I have a LOT o’ love for Love from Hetty & Dave – we interviewed the lady behind the label last year – and it’s no wonder when she makes bee-you-tiful heart-shaped loveliness like this, is it?

Looking for love just got a whole lot easier. www.spacetobe.co.uk is bringing fabulousness to all the single ladies this V-Day with the launch of the Single & Fabulous hypnotherapy track. Whether you’re recovering from a broken heart or you’ve been single for a long time, this 25 minute hypno track will help you to appreciate that you don’t need to ‘couple up’ to feel terrific and get the most out of life – you’ll be doing that naturally. What’s more, when ‘the one’ does happen to cross your path, the more intuitive, confident you is far more likely to spot ‘em!
This is like a big full-fat bar of chocolate for the soul, all the good stuff but without the calories – I love it!

He doesn’t know it was the wedding cake in Steel Magnolias, but this pink-tinted vanilla-chocolate treat is the trailer-trash of cakes and frankly, they rock!

Try this recipe from Xanthe Clay, foodie on The Telegraph
Red Velvet Cupcakes

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, bicarb and a pinch of salt. In a mug, mix the buttermilk, vinegar, vanilla and red food colouring.
Beat the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Beat in the egg a little at a time. Mix in a third of the flour mixture, followed by half the buttermilk mixture, then another third of the flour, the rest of the buttermilk and finally the last of the flour mixture.
