Make-up Of The Day

Today I have gone for quite a natural look with pink lips and cheeks. 




First I moisturised with Nivea Soft and Nivea Lip Butter I then put Rimmel Wake me up concealer under my eyes. I mixed together Rimmel Wake me up Foundation with my moisturiser to create a lighter base. I then set it all with Rimmel Stay matte powder.


 I then put Maybelline color tattoo in pink gold all over my eye lid as a base for other shadows. The I used a mixture of foxy and w.o.s eye shadows all over my lid, followed by naked2 on outer half of my lid then a tiny bit of faint in my crease (all from the Urban Decay naked basics palette) and blended it all in. I then used a brown pencil eye liner on the outer half of my lower lash line and blended it in. I used Maybelline the falsies mascara  on my upper lashes and No7 extreme length extend mascara on my bottom lashes. For my lips I used Tanya Burrs lip gloss in picnic in the park and mac powder blush in fleur power on my cheeks.  


These are the brushes I used, they are all by Real Techniques

Banana Cinnamon Omelet

Recently I have learnt how to make a banana cinnamon omelet. It is quick, simple, healthy and most importantly delicious! I like to make this for breakfast as it fills me up, its healthy, tasty and gets me ready for the day ahead. So, I thought I would share the recipe with you for my banana cinnamon omelet.
Lets begin... 

*First of all, pre-heat your grill at the fullest temperature. (optional)


The ingredients you will need;
-Olive oil (or sunflower oil)
-Two free range eggs 
-Cinnamon
-One banana
 You will also need a frying pan, a fork, something to beat your eggs in (i used a mug), something to stir with (i used a small wooden spoon) and a knife.


Then turn the hob on a medium-low heat and add your oil.


Whilst your oil is heating, chop up your banana.


Swirl your heated oil around the pan and then add your chopped banana to soften them. (you might have to turn the heat down a little)


Whilst your bananas are softening, crack your two free range eggs in to a mug and beat them with a fork.


Then, position your softened bananas to where you want them to be and add in your eggs. Swirl your eggs around the pan, making sure they coat the whole pan and there is no gaps


Sprinkle your cinnamon on top of your eggs and leave for all your egg to cook. (it will look something like this when it has cooked)


*This is optional, but I like to do this step. When you have cooked your omelet, just to make sure the egg on top has cooked I like to just pop it under the grill for 2-3 minuets or so. 


After, with a utensil, fold your omelet in half, then half again to make it easier to take it out of the pan. Place it on a plate.


Then your omelet is ready to eat! You can add fruit on the side or serve it on its own. I like to serve mine with a mix of fruit on the side. Today I have chosen strawberries and blue berries. I also made a cup of green tea with lemon to finish it off!

This is a healthy, yummy, tasty meal that you could have for breakfast or brunch. You can change the filling from bananas and cinnamon to ham and cherry tomatoes with salad on the side for a more appropriate lunch or dinner time meal. There is lots and lots of different ways you can eat an omelet, just play around and see what you could make!

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed this recipe and it has inspired you to make this omelet or something similar! If you make it then take a picture of it and hash tag it me on instagram and twitter with #myyummyomelet.

What have you put in this omelet?

Healthy Snacks

So, summers around the corner and and we want to look and feel good. But who wants to 'diet' and all of that? Well not me! So I have decided to just cut back on a few things. I want to share these quick and healthy snacks with you to show you what I have been eating recently if I have been feeling a little peck-ish!




The first snack that i think is really yummy but quite healthy at the same time, is sliced apple and peanut spread. I think together as a combination this tastes really good. The natural sweetness from the apple balances the saltiness of the peanut spread. The apple that I tend to go for is a small reddish-greenish apple or small red apple. The peanut spread is not peanut butter. It has no butter inside of it, so it is not as sweet and creamy, meaning it is healthier but still crunchy from the peanuts! Personally I am not keen on the peanut spread on its own, i think its too salty but with the apple it works a treat.




My second snack is very simple, it is just fruit! In the picture above I have a bowl of washed blueberries, strawberries and grapes. My personal favourite 'family' of fruits is the berry family and grapes (but you can change them to your favourites)! I am a bit of a freak when it comes to making sure things are washed before I eat them! I think that fruit is just yummy and sweet in general and i eat it anyway but i have been making more of an effort to choose fruit instead of chocolate.


Of course we are all human and we crave sweet/savoury things! I still have chocolate and things like that but I have decided to switch it up some times for fruit or something.


Thank you for reading and I hope you found this helpful and has given you some ideas.Make sure you follow my blog for more posts from me. Have a nice day...

What are your favourite snacks?

Summer Sun

So, its finally sunny in Britain and starting to feel a little like summer. Two friends and i went on a little walk to a stream for a paddle. I decided to take some pictures of our very eventful day...


We all decided to go and get some 'fancy' ice-creams. I got two scoops, one of strawberry cheese cake and one of  mint choc chip flavoured ice-cream with chocolate sprinkles and bubblegum sauce on top. YUM!


A 10 minuet walk away from our small town, and we where in the middle of the country side. I love where we live, its great for adventurers and  exploring.


There are many old barns and houses derelict and abandoned in the woods. People make up old witches tails about them and say that they are haunted.   


Finally we reached the stream! We paddled all afternoon, sat in the hot sun and I made bunches of flowers. Until... we found our selves surrounded by bulls and cows! My friends and I started to panic as they came nearer and nearer to us. I came up with the genius idea to all stand in the stream away from the edge because they do not come in water (i found out that is not true)! After minuets of panicking and stumbling in the water, one of my friends plucked up the courage to go and retrieve our belongings from the side of the stream. She got all our belongings and we all made a run for it across the field and back home. We all made it home in one piece, apart from one of my friends socks that she lost. I think its safe to say, i do not like cows!! We all had a lovely day that we all look back on and laugh about.  

Thank you for reading, hope you enjoyed our little adventure. Make sure you follow my blog for more posts from me! Have a nice day...

What have you done in the sun?
