Recipe of the Day||Breakfast

Today I thought I would start off with a little recipe post, well I say recipe, but there really isn't much that went into cooking and using ingredients! I am extremely lazy and when hunger strikes, I need something quick! 
This meal was basically a concoction of foods I could find in my fridge as I am due a food shop and this is what I had to work with. 
I started off by popping a small amount of oil in a pan and sauteed a handful of sliced mushrooms and then threw in three asparagus stalks. I took the asparagus out of the pan once they had browned slightly on the ends but remained slightly crunchy on the inside, before they went too soft. 
When both the asparagus and the mushrooms were almost done I threw in some pre-cooked chicken breast pieces until they had that 'stir-fry' look and taste to them.
To get some good fats in there I cut an avocado in half and stuffed it with feta cheese. 
For the final touch, I added a drizzle of olive oil and lots of pepper.
I ate this as my breakfast/lunch meal after exercising which I think is great as your including your protein and fats in there to repair your muscles post workout. 

Hope you enjoyed this quick little recipe!

Payday Haul | Beauty, Skincare & Essentials

I feel like I haven't posted in a while so 
though I would kick things off with a haul! Pay day has finally come around since my Christmas pay so it was very much needed!
So for the first purchase I desperately needed a new diary. The reason for this is, I got a new job! I'm so excited and can't wait to start but one thing I was lacking was a diary. I wanted to keep on top of my organisation so decided to buy a matching notebook that I'll specifically use for the job. I love the colours, coral a mint green. So, hopefully I will get a lot of use out of these two.
I needed a few essentials so I picked up some face wipes from Nivea's pure and natural range which I have tried before and am pretty happy with them as I use them before I cleanse.
I was looking for a hair oil as I have gone through Moroccan oil, different types of hair oils. I stumbled across this little bottle from Boots which is a light version of Argan oil.
Next up is a concealer from Collection as I was hunting for my lasting perfection concealer but my shade was out of stock everywhere! So I thought, okay, I'll give it try. Unfortunately, it's pretty pants. So I will be on the hunt for my baby.
Unfortunately my beloved real techniques stippling brush broke so I chose the expert face brush and prefer it even more than my previous brush. Then as an added extra I thought I would get the shading brush for my concealer which I love. I really wanted to try something from the Una Brennan range so I went with a cleanser as I needed one. I have been using this cleanser day and night for about a week and I am really happy with the results. I've had a few spots appear which I think is from the cleanser bringing them out. But my skin has started to look clearer. The blush I picked is Live Pink from Rimmel. It's a gorgeous pretty pink that you really don't need much of to get a bit of colour. Finally, The body book by Cameron Diaz. At the moment I have been really into nutrition and fitness. I've been trying to live a little healthier and in turn am losing a bit weight which is great. I had been recommended this book and haven't looked back. It's so informative and interesting and has changed my outlook on food and health.


 Hope you liked this post.
