A smoothie I couldn't not share! ❤️

Hey everyone!! I hope you all had an amazing Christmas. It was pretty hectic prior Christmas with shopping and making plans etc. I ended up having a Christmas tea with my family a few days before Christmas Day then spending time with my boyfriends family on Christmas Day and going to town that night and staying for a few nights :) Boxing Day was sooo much fun. I got a lot of things for my student flat for next year, I got a blender, mini fridge, dehumidifier basically all the basics lol but saved sooo much! One of my gifts from my boyfriend was a supplement from a brand called fitmiss, check them out on Instagram! The protein powder is sooo yummy, it's chocolate flavoured, high protein, low calorie, you can have it as a snack or meal, after you have it you won't need to eat for hours. Which is perfect for me as sometimes I'm too buzy to eat or just forget about it, then when I do want to eat it's not the healthiest. Next year I'll have it as a snack or a meal on the go in-between classes. 

I made a smoothie tonight as part of my dinner and it was amazing that I just had to share :) ❤️ 

I used everything you see here, if you are looking to be healthier or wanting to lose some of that Christmas weight id give this a go! Go to shotgunsupplements to buy this brand or buy from other health stores online that stock this brand. I love it! 

Have a great Christmas and New Years! I'll hopefully do another soon :) thank you for reading this blog post. Leave in the comments below if you have tried these supplements and tell me what you think of them ❤️ Follow me on Instagram to see more healthy snack/meal ideas :)) Enjoy the rest of your day/night :) 

Lots of love :)

A Christmas treat idea :) ❤️

Hey everyone! I hope your all having a fun and great day :) I did my Christmas shopping yesterday and worked a bit too hard at the gym so I'm seriously sore today lol so I thought I would have a relaxing day, watching season 8 of Friends and I felt the need to do some baking and I remembered a yummy recipe for apricot balls from my younger years ;) I thought I would post up a few pictures along with the recipe since it's Christmas time and you may want to try it out your self. 

Ingredients 

~ 100g butter 

~ 3/4 cup of sweetened condensed milk 

~ 1 cup of coconut 

~ punch of salt 

~ 1 1/2 cup of chopped up apricots or how many you want to use 

~ 1/2 cup of coconut to roll balls in

~ 1x griffins malt biscuits (do this last)

Instructions 

~ melt butter in bowl and Crush the malt biscuits while butter is melting. Crush the biscuits to your satisfaction, I left some bits chunky for texture. I put the biscuits on handy kitchen towels and one sheet on top then just used the bottom of a drink bottle to crush the biscuits.

~ add condensed milk to butter and mix together. 

~ add salt, coconut, chopped up apricots and mix together.

~ add in biscuits (do this quite fast) make sure all the biscuits are evenly throughout the bowl, so at the bottom there isn't the condensed milk with the biscuits making them soggy.

~  lastly, roll into balls, roll them around in the extra coconut and put on tray then put into fridge to set. Mine where in the fridge for at least 2 hours. 

I give this recipe 9.5/10, I wish I had more crunchy bits in it but other then that it was puuuurfect :) this would be a perfect treat for Christmas Day when having guests over or just for your family plus it's pretty simple and so yum!!! 

Thank you for reading my blog :) if you do try this recipe let me know in the comments how you get on :) I also have some other baking related posts that I'll put up soon :) enjoy the rest of your day and I'll write again soon xx 

Lots of love :)

It's so hot.

Hello everyone!!! It is such a hot day today, it's 23 degrees which may not be hot for some countries but it's really hot in Southland NZ. So I thought it being a hot day that I would make myself a cooling healthy smoothie :) 

Ingredient list 

~ kale 

~ pear 

~ lemon or lime 

~ grapefruit 

~ avocado 

~ spinach 

~ rocket 

~ parsley x2 (they just look different) 

~ buttercrunch lettuce 

~ water 

~ ice 

You can either use a blender or a juicer. 

For this particular thing I used the blender to keep all the good nutrients in. 

And the final product....

The grapefruit and lemon flavor comes through a perfect amount, not too sweet but enough for the smoothie to taste other then green veggies :) you can have ice or not, but the ice keeps it cold and creates a thick texture. 

I hope you all enjoyed this post and I'll write again soon. I still have a few blog posts in the making so hopefully they'll be up soon :) Have a great rest of your day/night :) ❤️  

Lots of love :)

Makeup of the night ❤️

Hello lovies xxx this is my first post in agggggggeeeesss... I've moved into my house for the summer break and I've had to get the Internet sorted which is why I havnt been able to post anything!! I thought I would do a quick and simple post of what makeup I wore tonight going out for drinks :) 

~ Urban Decay Naked 2 Pallete; colours used foxy: to lighten up the eye area all over, booty call: to highlight under the eyebrows, busted: to create a crease from the outer lid crease to over halfway in towards my inner eye, blackout: to put at the outer corner of my eye and used a blending brush to make it look smokey

~ Limecrime lipstick in Great Pink Planet 

~ MAC studio fix fluid foundation in NC20 

~ Nude by Nature 'natural mineral cover dark skin tone' as a bronzer and to contour + brush by Nude by Nature which is $19 at pharmacies

~ Lush cosmetics 'Jackie oats' to use under eyes to hide bags under eyes or just lighten up that area. 

~ Eyeko brow gel to shape my eyebrows 

~ Stila all over shimmer duo in kitten to use after blusher, on highest point of your cheeks

~ BareMinerals 'flawless definition volumizing mascara' 

This look is a simple yet elegant, girly look for going out. A natural eye with a pop of colour on the lips is perfect for anything. 

Thanks for reading and I'll write again soon!!! Enjoy the rest of your day everyone :) ❤️❤️❤️

Lots of love :)
