What I eat in a day!

Leave a comment

Hey dolls,

It can be hard to eat healthy when you have a super busy life, so I thought I’d share what I eat in a day! Obviously it varies but most days are similar to this! I also try to drink 2-3 litres of water a day.

Breakfast for me is so important, if I don’t start the day right it is unlikely my day will be productive. Breakfast can vary from scrambled eggs to overnight oats or my fave quick and easy yoghurt, fruit and granola. I love the Light & Free yoghurts, grab whatever fruit I have in the fridge or fruit bowl and top it with a handful of Jordan’s low sugar granola for a bit of crunch.

Lunch is always the meal I struggle with because I get bored of eating the same thing, throughout the winter I had soup pretty much everyday but now the sun is out salad season is back!

This is my absolute favourite salad (apart from your classic caesar!) and so simple. To make my Chicken Pesto salad I just fry some chicken in fry lite with salt and pepper, mix 1tsp of pesto with the same of light mayo, chop some cucumber, throw some salad leaves in a bowl and add a few croutons. I also needed to use up my strawberries so chopped them up with an apple for a sweet treat!

 

At work I always get peckish in the afternoon so have a range of snacks in my snack drawer from rice cakes to Fibre One bars! I recently discovered Fibre One popcorn bars and OMG they are amazing!

Cooking dinner is definitely my favourite meal, I love mixing different flavours. One of my go to meals is Soy, ginger and garlic salmon with brown rice and greens. Again the greens always change depending on what is in the fridge. Sometimes, I will make some extra and have the rest for lunch the next day!

Updated Skincare Routine!

2 Comments

Hey dolls,

This week I wanted to share my updated skincare routine. I’ve always been a bit of a skincare addict, I blame Mum for that, so here is my updated day and night skincare!

Mornings are always a bit manic so I want something quick and easy to start the day. I grab some cleansing pads either the Nip n Fab Dragon Blood ones or the Vitamin E ones from Superdrug that I am currently using. These leave my skin feeling fresh with no hassle! Then to moisturise I use the Nip n Fab Post Glycolic Fix moisturiser and Vitamin E  eye cream. I love these products because they sit so nicely underneath my makeup and don’t make my skin feel greasy!

My evening routine firstly removing my makeup, recently I have been loving the Garner Micellar water cleansing gel. I use this in the shower and it removes most of my makeup, I then cleanse with my trusty Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser. To tone its once again an old fave, Liz Earle Instant Boost Tonic.

I love using an oil on my skin overnight, some of these oils can be super expensive so I’m pleased I’ve found one I love from Caudalie, VineActiv Overnight Detox, these leaves my skin feeling so soft and hydrated, it has definitely become a ride or die for me!

One thing I can’t live without is a good eye cream and at the moment I’m loving the Origins Ginzing eye cream, this cream is definitely worth the hype and although I’m petty late to the party, I can highly recommend this one for brighting and reducing darkness under your eyes!

Once a week or twice a week I exfoliate my face using the Nip n Fab Glycolic scrub which I love and will use a face mask.  I have a range of face masks I love including L’oreal detox clay, any from GlamGlow and the Sephora sheet masks (you need to get your hands on some if you haven’t tried them yet!).

Ciao Bellas,
