Hummus and Avocado Addict | What I Ate Wednesday.

Hello Again!

So this week has been a bit full on, I have been really healthy apart from the weekend and I really think I am doing okay with this 'Cleanse' we started in January (if you imagine February is actually the start of the year and forget that the actual cleanse lasted about 2 weeks and then I was back eating unhealthily again).

Well without further a do I shall now show you lovely people what I have eaten today!

Breakfast- 
For breakfast today, I had the same as what I have been eating for the last week and what I featured in last weeks post which was grilled bacon with mushrooms on bread( the picture is the same as last week because I didn't see a point in taking another photo of the exact same thing). I really like this breakfast because it is very filling and not too unhealthy either.

Lunch-
For lunch, I had a slice of wholemeal toast with tuna mixed with a tiny bit of  light Philadelphia mixed in instead of mayo and some sweetcorn(I usually use homemade hummus but I didn't have any ingredients)  I also had some sweetcorn and avocado on the side.        

Snack- 
For my snack, I have half of an avocado, some very messily cut up carrots, a few pieces of red pepper and some cherry tomatoes. I had this with some shop bought hummus(I'm taking a break from the home made stuff as It was taking too long and I like the homemade one freshly made and not pre made the day before).

Tea-
For Tea, I marinated some chicken breast chunks, sliced mushrooms(my mum likes mushrooms but I'm not a fan unless they have plenty of flavour to them) some diced red and green peppers and red onion in Nandos medium peri-peri rub and then cooked it in a tin foil parcel for 15 minutes then added a small amount of pasata to the parcel and cooked it for another 20 minutes. I served it with some basmati rice and some home made wedges.

Drinks-
Today I have drank a cup of pomegranate iced green tea, 4 glasses of water and a cup of nettle and blackberry tea.

Well that was what I have eaten today so far. I have not long since ate my tea and I am very full and it was extremely tasty.

I shall post a beauty related blog post on Saturday which I am about to plan so be sure to check that out!
Bye Loves,

A Healthy(ish) Day | What I ate Wednesday!

Hi Everyone!

This post is very late. I am so sorry. I have been poorly the last week or so and completely forgot to document what I ate yesterday ready to post today(Wednesday) so I have had to wait until now to write this post up because I have not long since had my last meal of the day. The other what I ate Wednesdays will be up a lot earlier than this but this was just an error on my part, oops. Presentation isn't the best but you can see whats what so that's the main thing.

Breakfast-
Breakfast this morning wasn't the healthiest because we hadn't yet done any food shopping and we only had white bread rolls. I just cut one in half and popped on a little but of Flora Light butter on each half and then topped with some bacon which was grilled in the George Foreman lean mean fat grilling machine and added some mushrooms cooked in a tiny bit of Flora Light which is the only way I like mushrooms.

Lunch-
In between breakfast and lunch we done some food shopping and I bought some lovely and healthy foods. So when we came home I made some hummus (Recipe Here!) and also had half an avocado chopped up, a snack pack of carrot batons and some grapes.

Snack-
After Lunch I was doing lots and lots of coursework and ended up eating a snack pack of mango fingers which were yummy!

Tea-
We picked up a Coleman's chicken tagine meal kit which was super easy to make; all you do is marinate the chicken in the marinade given in the pack and then cook the chicken with some veggies( we used onions,carrots,mushrooms and peppers) and added some water and some sauce mix from the kit and served with couscous and raisins from the kit. It was super nice!

Drinks-
I had a cup of coffee with breakfast, 5 glasses of water and a bottle of pomegranite iced green tea throughout today.

Well that's all for my first What I ate Wednesday- I really hope you all enjoyed this post and I shall be doing another next week.

Byeee!

Hey guys.                      

So today's post will be all about what I am loving recently. I'm not going to do these month by month because it takes me a while to develop a love for new things so each month would get a bit repetitive. I will however post a short 'love list' on Instagram on the last day of the month to show you four things that  have stood out from the month.

..Makeup..

Mac Studio Fix Foundation- I can not rate this foundation highly enough. It has medium to high coverage and lasts all day, I got mine in the shade NC18 which really matches my skin tone perfectly and I love the way it evens out my redness without the need for concealer.

Mac Select  Cover-up Concealer-  When I first saw the size of this product, I thought it would be gone with a few uses but I have had it since November and it is still going strong. You only need a tiny tiny amount of this to cover your blemishes or dark circles, a little goes a long way. 

Urban Decay Naked 1 and 3 palette-  I mentioned in my 2016 goals post that I wanted to get better at makeup application and rediscovered these two gems! I have been loving combining these palettes to create beautiful eye makeup looks with natural looks, shimmery brown looks but also lovely  gold and pink looks which would be perfect for valentines day. The colour payoff of these eye shadows are amazing and when used with a primer, last all day long. I love the versatility of these palettes also. 

Collection Volumising Mascara- I got this as a gift from my friend Emma at Christmas and I love the things it does to my eyelashes, its not the best for lengthening but it doesn't claim to be. But this mascara makes my eyelashes so voluminous and thick that when paired with a lengthening mascara makes my eyelashes look really pretty and fluttery. 

MAC Matte Lipstick in the shade Velvet Teddy- The first MAC lipstick I have ever bought and I have completely fallen in love with it. Its natural looking but its one of those colours where you can still tell that whoever is  wearing it has got lipstick on if that makes sense. People often find that matte lipsticks make their lips dry but I don't find that at all, it inst glossy mind, but it certainly doesn't dry out my lips.  

..Beauty and Fragrance.. 

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh- My two favorite scents in perfume are sweet/womanly or fresh and I feel like this perfume is the perfect blend of them. It has the undertone smell of palma violet  sweets which means it is suitable to wear for a special occasion but also it has a fresh smell to it which means you can have a quick spritz on a morning and it will liven you up for the rest of the day. 

Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleaner- I made a goal this year to look after my skin and I knew that to do that I needed to invest in a really good cleaner to get every bit of makeup from my pores as that is what most of my spots are caused by. I love how this makes my skin feel, it feels tighter and fresh and most importantly, clean. I also really like how you can actually see how much makeup and crap has came off your face. 

Lush Bubble Bar in '5 gold rings'- I bought these out of my Christmas money and I can by far say these are the best value for money product I have bought from Lush so far, they leave a glittery sheen to your skin and are very moisturising. They smell sweet but also have a slight spice to them which is why they are in the winter collection at Lush. Each of the five rings can be cut in half which gives you 10 uses but I tend to go with the flow; if I am pairing with a bath bomb then I use half of one and if I am just wanting bubbles I use a full one. Definitely one of my favourite all time Lush product. 

VO5 Nourish My Shine- Another of my goals for this year is to get my hair into better condition and the nourish my shine range from VO5 has really helped. I have the shampoo,conditioner and the heat protection spray and I can see a massive difference in my hair. I also want to buy some other products from the range such as the hot oil and the re hydration miracle mist.

..Random Favourites..

YOUTUBER- Mollie Georgia-  I have been subscribed to Mollie for a few months now and I absolutely love her videos! I feel like I can really relate a lot of what she says because we are in a similar age group and both doing our AS-Levels. She is such a sweet, genuine person and I honestly commend her for the amount of work she puts into her videos, she deserves so so so many more more subscribers than she has! I often comment on her videos and she is always always lovely when she replies. She just seems so genuine and real and I tend to do a shopping splurge whenever I watch her beauty videos(she has very good makeup taste) which for someone on a beauty buying ban is a nightmare ;) If you want to check out her channel the link is here Mollies Channel.

SONG/MUSIC- Shawn Mendez, Stitches & Zayn, Pillowtalk. No words other than; AMAZING. 

FOOD- Hummus- I have been really loving hummus lately; I use it to dip carrot sticks,cucumber and other veggies in it.. I absolutely love it! 

Well I hope you enjoyed this post guys, I am back into frequent blogging after some time away and I will back on Friday with a recipe for you all. 

See you later, Aimee xxx
