Starting with breakfast, now i'm sure we are all gulity of skipping breakfast which is ofcourse terrible seeing as breakfast is the most important meal of the day! Here are some quick ideas for on the go breakfasts which are filling and healthy, and ofcourse great for those who are watching their weight!

Avocados!! These green soft fruits are a great way to get your burst of morning vitamins! Avocados are so good for you they contains all kinds of beautiful vitamins that helps the skin rid of blemishes, and in general give a healthy appearance!
To incorporate avocados within your breakfast is super easy! All you need is:

2 slices of bread
1 Avocado
1/2 of a lemon
Sea Salt and fresh ground pepper to season

Firstly you have to cut, pit and scoop out the avocados so your left with a soft green and yellowish mush (dispose of the skin and the huge seed). Using a fork mash the Avocado up and add the juice of half a lemon, add some sea salt (not too much) that makes the Avocado topping.
Toast your 2 slices of bread and cut in to 4 pieces, then simply spoon on the Avocado mix and season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper et voilá! Perfect on the go food, can be eaten as snack too!

The second recipe is simple yet affective, getting your antioxidents, calcium (very very important for us girlies) and ofcourse vitamins!!
Yougurt!!!!!! Smooth silky yougurt!! Here is my quick breakfast using gorgeous yogurt!

Greek yogurt (however much you want :p)
Some strawberries, blueberries and 1 banana
Granola
1-2 tbl of Honey

Just add all the above ingredients and there you have a great filling breakfast! This recipe is extremely adaptable you can add more or less ingredients, if you dont like honey you can use vanilla yogurt to add a little bit of sweetness!!

Hope you enjoyed a couple of my favourite breakies! Happy Healthy Eating!!

Super fruit for the Skin!!

Hey Beauties!

Now that it is summer I have been lucky enough to be stuff myself with gorgeous exotic fruits, which has helped my skin immensely seeing that I had to get my post stress skin into shape.
My dad in the last two weeks have been buying some lovely plump kesar mangos (Indian mangos) as they are in season... I look forward to this every year as eating mangos in the summer is something that i have done since a child and i absolutely love it!

Mangos are a great super fruit for your skin as it has many benefits, it contains lots of vitamins such as vitamin C and other B vitamins, along with minerals such as mangnesium and potassium and also many antioxidents. Amazing for your bodily health as mangos are known to reduce the risk of cancer, helps digestion, great for brain health and much more. However for the skin this lovely yummy fruit does wonders...It evens out the skin tone, gives a beautiful glow to the skin, clears the skin of blemishes, your skin appears more brighter and hydrated as mangos are very hydrating fruits perfect for the summer months. Mangos can be used as a mask, by mushing it to a plup and adding a bit of milk, or make a milkshake by mixing cut/skinned mangos with milk and then blending it together, you can add some sugar to sweeten the shake slightly! Perfect for the morning to kick start your day, give you a boost of energy... When buying mangos make sure they are ripe! The more orange the inside of the fruit the more sweeter (they taste sooo good <3).



Get them whilst you can, they do wonders for you skin, body and they taste LOVELY!!!
