IT'S A SAVVY 'N' SASSY BLOGMAS! 2/12/17 DAY 2


Hey there!
Are you feeling Christmassy yet?! You will after today's Savvy Blogmas blog! (Is that such a thing?). Well anyway, read on!

Today I have something special to give you true Christmas cheer and will be perfect for a party or you know, for yourself!!!! 


Today is a recipe...but not any old recipe....it's for CHRISTMAS PUNCH! You read that right. Get yourself down to the supermarket when they have special prices on spirits and stock up for all your Christmas punches and cocktails!
Its healthy as well as it is plant based!!!!! Mwhahaha!
First grab yourself one of the following. I'm guessing your choice of vessel depends upon how posh you are!!!! (joking)



Now grab yourself some ingredients!

You are going to make enough for 8 thirsty people!

450 mls whiskey (if your guests are drunk use cheap stuff , they will never know!)
300 mls Benedictine,
600 mls Cranberry juice,
150 mls Clementine juice, (it goes soooo well with the cranberry)
2 satsumas thinly sliced,
2 vanilla pods (use the seeds).

Method
Have an immense amount of fun laughing whilst you glug everything in to your chosen vessel! Add ice and leave for 5 minutes before serving.

Important
Don't make this any earlier than 2 hours before you serve. This is because of the sour ingredients and it will all go rather rank!

I love how The Barefoot Baker serves up a Christmassy Cocktail! 




If you are feeling in a "showy offy" mood, why not dress each glass with three sour cherries?
Enjoy making this . I think it will be great for parties or after late night shopping. 

Savvy Blogmas!

So Many Brands So Few Owners

Your Beauty Brand favourites....who owns them? Who owns the beauty brands? photo copyright Janie Smith why it matters...... What do Rimmel, Marc Jacobs Miss Sporty or Bourjois have in common? Or what about Nivea and La Prairie? Yep, you guessed it they are owned by huge umbrella companies. Okay, it is not a secret that very few companies own many beauty brands. There’s a big fat chance that you already know this. Brands move to different companies fairly frequently and there have been some really recent acquisitions. But why you might be asking, does it matter? Well, it might well be working to your advantage! Many umbrella companies have brands covering a range of prices and demographic appeal. But despite there being lots of range they all share the same technology and innovations when it comes to their formulations. If you are a  beauty junky it is a win - win situation!
