Berry breakfast smoothie!

Hello!

Lately I've been trying to eat healthier and excersise more often to get fit for summer (only 1 month to go!) so I've been making smoothies in the morning. It's surprisingly filling and it tastes so good! Berries are great sources of antioxidants which can improve your health, hair and skin, as well as preventing specific diseases.

So here's the recipe! 

Ingredients:

- a handful of frozen raspberries and blackberries

- a small bunch of frozen blueberries

- 5 or so fresh strawberries

- tropical juice 

Method:

1. First, wash your strawberries, take the leafy part off and halve them.

2. Next, throw your strawberries, blueberries and raspberries into a blender. 

(I got this small one for $39 at Target which is designed so you can drink it straight from the blending cup, so it't great!)

3. Then just fill up your blender with enough tropical juice that it covers three quarters of your berries - this gives a nice consistency that isn't too thick or thin.

4. Now just blend it up and your all g!

If the raspberries and blueberries that you're using aren't frozen, you can just add 1/2 cup to 1 cup of ice, depending on how you like your smoothies. 

Also, you can add any greens like kale, spinach etc, or bananas (I found that it really overpowered the berries when I added banana, so I took it out) or anything really, this recipe is very customisable so if you don't like something in this recipe, then you can easily switch it out with other fruits or vegetables. 

Hope this helped you!

Goodbye and goodluck!

Subtle lips

Hello there!

If your anything like me then you don't like wearing bold colours on your lips, either because they're too coloured for your liking or you can't be bothered lining your lips to make it actually look good haha.

I like to wear the soft pinks, soft reds and if I'm feeling a bit more adventuress then I'll wear a deeper colour, but that's only on occasions. 

I'd like to share a few of my favourite tinted lip balms and lipstains, all of which I love wearing on an everyday basis or if I'm out on a casual date with my friends.

1. 'Baby Lips Colour' in Cherry Kiss.

This is a very subtle red-ish pink shade which looks lovely if your going for a bit of a classic look without going all out. It's very soft and goes on very nicely.

2. 'Cover Girl Smoochies' in 225.

I love this lip balm! It's super smooth and soft, and it gives a really nice pink glow to your lips. It's sort of a YLBB (your lips but better) shade where it will look nice on any skin tone.

3. 'Maybelline New York's Colour Sensations' in 05- In the Buff.

This is one of the lipstains I own and it is pretty good. It doesn't act as a lipstain as much as I think it should but it gives off a very nice colour that makes me forgive it's lack of stain. It's of good quality for the price - around $3.99 from Red Dot - so I really can't complain.

4. 'NYX Butter Gloss' in Cremé Brûlée.

NYX is very well known for its good quality for its price, and this gloss doesn't disappoint. It's got a very creamy consistency and goes on nice and smooth. The colour is amazing and is great for casual days or can look nice for more dressy occasions. 

5. 'Maybelline New York's Colour Sensations' in 65- Cranberry Crush.

As the name suggests, this is a very rich and berry coloured lipstain. This one, unlike the previous one, has a very long lasting stain and has a great colour payoff. It's not as subtle as the other products I've shown but this one is great I think for autumn where the rich, dark lip colours come into trend.

So that's all for this post. I hope this was helpful to you in some way or another, goodbye!
