Quite literally everyone loves unicorns and rainbows, and they're clearly not going anywhere any time soon so I've put together my very own unicorn rainbow dairy free cookie recipe (catchy name I know). This is my second recipe which I've created from scratch, usually I'll refer to a baking book when I fancy baking so I'm really pleased with the results of my very own creation! I think these would make such a fun addition to a food table at a kids party, gifts for your best friends or just something fun to bake one afternoon. Plus these are suitable if you know someone on a dairy free diet! Who said vegans were boring?!
To make the vegan delicious rainbow unicorn cookies you'll need:
100g vegan butter/spread
100g caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
150g self -raising flour
Three Vegan food colourings/gels
Vegan sprinkles
How to bake these vegan delicious rainbow unicorn cookies:
- Pre-heat the oven to 190c or Gas mark 5 and line your baking tray with grease proof paper.
- Measure the butter and sugar into a medium sized mixing bowl and beat until creamy. Add the vanilla extract and the vegetable oil until mixed well.
- Gradually mix in the flour and if you're finding it hard to mix, use your hands to make the dough come together. Then pop the bowl into the fridge for 15 minutes.
- Then separate the mixture into three different bowls and add a small amount of food colouring to each. You want to make sure you do not mix your colours at this point.
- Then using either your hands or a spoon mix the colour into your dough, do this to each of your bowls.
- Once the colour is mixed in, take a little bit of dough from each bowl and roll them together so it makes a ball, take enough for it to make one cookie. You should notice a marbling effect as the colours come together. Do this to all of of your mixture until you have none left.
- After they are all on your baking tray, add your sprinkles. Gently tap them into the dough, this helps them stick.
- Then put them into the oven for around 15 minutes.
- Once out of the oven leave the cookies to cool on the tray for 10 minutes.
- These cookies should last for up to a week in an airtight tin. Delicious!

Everyone love cookies, especially when they're soft, chewy and full of chocolate. With so many people following a vegan and dairy free diet at the moment I had a go at testing my very own recipe and baking some of everyone's favourite cookie, the chocolate chip. This recipe is super simple and it takes no time at all to whip up a batch, so it's really handy to have if you have people coming over. I really hope you enjoy baking these and sharing with friends and family. P.S Don't forget to serve with the traditional glass of milk (almond or soy of course). I also have another exciting cookie recipe coming up which has been inspired by everyone's favourite mythical creature... any guesses what it could be?

- Spoon big teaspoons of the mixture onto your baking tray. This recipe should make around 8-9 big cookies or 20 smaller ones.
- Then put them into the oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Once out of the oven leave the cookies to cool on the tray for 10 minutes.
- These cookies should last for up to a week in an airtight tin but I doubt they'll last that long!
I love putting together fashion and travel posts, but in my personal life I really love make up. I spend an awful lot of money on trying new products, watching YouTube tutorials or reviews and keeping an eye out for the latest thing. I've mentioned a couple of times on here that I really try to buy cruelty free products where I can but sometimes it's not that easy, as so many beauty brands are owned by big corporations who sell to China. Sadly American and European brands who sell to China have to test on animals by law. I've included my current holy grail products and I'm sure you'll notice that they're mainly cruelty free apart from a few.
First up is a new favourite from Kat Von D, the Tattoo Liner, it's one of her most popular products and I can totally see why! It lasts all day, it's simple to use and comes off so easily. What's more, her products are all vegan and cruelty free. Following on a similar theme, I recently picked up some new eyeliners from Stila in two gorgeous shades (blue fin & lion fish). When I was a teenager I used to wear eyeliner in my waterline everyday and loved it but I stopped when I started university. I'm really glad I've found these two liners as I love the way it looks, plus they have a slight sparkle! Speaking of sparkle, I need to talk about the Tom Ford creme colour in the shade Sphinx. At first I hated it, I was really annoyed as it's not a cheap product and I quickly put it to one side. However one day I picked it back up and randomly dabbed it on top of an eye shadow and realised that it was actually beautiful, it's a golden pink duo-chrome colour and works beautifully with warm neutral eye-shadows, now I adore it!
My all time favourite perfume Chloe's Signature Eau De Parfum, but Marc Jacob's Splash in the scent Rain is a very close second. It's perfect for Sprig/Summer as it's so light and smells like Watermelons! I've also been testing out everyone's favourite perfume, Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf and I absolutely love it, I wasn't sure what all the fuss was about initially but it wears really well and lasts all day.
One of my new years resolutions was to take better care of my skin, I've been trying to invest in some higher quality products and get rid of make-up wipes once and for all. I've been a fan of Maskeraide sheet masks for a while, you can easily pick them up at M&S and my favourite mask is the Beauty Restore, plus the packaging is super cute. For when I'm having a bad skin day (which seems to be a lot recently) I love using The Body Shop Himalayan charcoal mask, it really helps to clear up my skin plus it leaves it feeling really clean. I've had the mask for about 7 months and I use it at least twice a month and there's still plenty left, so you definitely get good value for money. The Body Shop always have amazing deals online too, I've never bought anything online full price!
If you have any cruelty free recommendations I'd love to hear them!
