Healthy Eating

-
Hey there!

So just a short post today of some of the healthy meals I've been loving. Eating differently has certainly had an impact on my life, even from drinking more water on a daily basis has had an effect, but combined with nutritious and healthy meals it has really improved my skin and I feel much less tired, and certain foods have even helped curb cravings for chocolate and junk food. Every year, around this time I always re-discover health eating and get obsessed. By eating lighter and not stuffing my body with heavy, processed foods and drinks I feel so much better and I know everything I eat is doing me good. Don't get me wrong though, I'm still human and I still have my moments of weakness, especially when it comes to sweets or desserts, but eating healthy all the rest of the time makes having a splurge on things like chocolate or ice cream once in a while so much better and worth while.
This is just a few meals I've captured over the last week and thought I'd share them with you all.

Ultimate favourite, grilled homemade Nando's chicken, cous-cous and a leafy salad. So tasty!

 Never thought this would be so refreshing, but a few slices of lemon really make a difference!

 Quick and healthy lunch, tuna and spinach sub - looks a little lonely though. Note to self: add fruit 

 Yummy snack, or a breakfast quickie, pineapple chunks, raisins, an apple and wholemeal toast with organic crunchy peanut butter. Delicious. (Excuse the chipped plate..)

Broccoli and grilled chicken, simple as that.

Most important meal of the day: breakfast. A combo of porridge, raisins and banana.


This is obviously just my personal preference when it comes to eating and I am no way an expert as to whether portions or even if most of this is nutritional, but I can honestly say I've definitely felt a difference and now obsessed with finding new ways of making things healthier. If you have any health recipes or blogs, please leave a comment or I'd even love to hear if you recently re-discovered health eating and what you've been trying out. 

Thanks for reading!

Benefit They're Real! Mascara

Well hey there! I thought I'd slip in a blog post between homeworks and coursework and tell you all about this unbelievable mascara from Benefit. Benefit is my favourite brand of make-up and always produces amazing products and so I can't rave about this mascara enough and encourage anyone who is looking for a new mascara to definitely give this a try.  I wear this mascara everyday and it never fails to make my lashes look amazing (if I do say so myself). It ticks all the boxes for length, volume and curl and the 'jet-black' colour stands out no matter how long you wear it. Whenever I use a mascara that isn't waterproof I always end up with black smudges under my eyes which always use to annoy me and made it so difficult to find a good mascara, but with Benefit They're Real! mascara I've never had this problem which really surprised, because it was the first non-waterproof mascara that I could wear all day without any smudges. This i

Recent Favourites

Well hey there! Huge apology for the lack of posts lately, school work is slowly taking over my life and leaving me with a non-existent social life and seriously sleep deprived. I wanted to make a commitment to myself to do a monthly favourites but I don't think that's ever going to be possible with my combination of laziness and an never-ending pile of work, so I thought I'd just drop a quick mention of what I've been using lately. So it isn't a lot but here are some recent discoveries of products/stuff I've become completely obsessed with starting with the Rimmel Lasting Finish Colour Rush in 'Not An Illusion'. This is great to wear on a day-to-day basis or for a school day look as it just gives a tint of colour but isn't too glossy. It has a very sweet/chocolatey smell and I pretty much wear it everyday recently. Next beauty related product I adore (which is no surprise) is the Benefit Hoola Bronzing Powder. I got it as part

NARS Sheer Glow Foundation / Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

Well hello there! Today I wanted to show my favourite (and in my opinion the best) foundation and concealer around. The NARS Sheer Glow Foundation and the Collection Lasting Perfection Ultimate Wear Concealer are the perfect combination for a minimal make-up look, or when built up great for special occasions. On days when I'm too lazy to bother with a full face of make-up, I use the Collection Concealer on its own to cover-up any blemishes (which are a constant on my face) and dark circles. This product is highly pigmented and has such a good coverage but still has a natural look. In this concealer I am a shade Light 2. Again and again I go back to this product and in my opinion it is amazing. The applicator is easy to use and great for applying under the eyes and the packaging is simple. The only thing I would change about this product is making it bigger, so it would last longer and spare me the time of going out and repeatedly buying new ones. Having
