Student recipe: Healthy soup!

Hello Everyone!

I've been a bit rubbish at blogging to say the least but I've been ridiculously busy with uni! I haven't been eating the right foods recently. Mostly quick and easy fast foods ect & now I feel its time that I should get myself back on track, & so I thought the perfect way to start this was by making a healthy vegetable soup using all my vegetables which look as though they are about to go off and I thought I would share the recipe with you guys :)

What I used: 

2 onions

6 carrots

6 mushrooms

1/2 a courgette

3 cloves of garlic

a whole broccoli.

2 chicken stock cubes

1 vegetable stock cube

Salt & pepper to season!

Step 1: 

Chop up your vegetables! It doesn't matter how neatly you cut them as your going to blend it all up anyway! 

Step 2: 

Put a frying pan on a medium heat. Add some olive oil, and then add the onions, mushrooms and garlic - fry until soft. 

Step 3:

Whilst the onions ect are cooking fill a large pan with water and bring it to the boil then add your carrots and broccoli and boil until soft. 

Step 4: 

When everything is all nice and soft add the stock cubes to the boiling water & then blend it either using a hand blender or a food processor and then season with salt & pepper!

Step 5: 

You should end up with something like this! Serve with a warm crusty roll or anything that takes your fancy! 

This soup is so easy to make and is so good for you as well! You don't have to use the exact vegetables that I used, I just cleared out all the vegetables in my fridge which makes it a good meal for students too as its cheap and you don't end up throwing a load of food out at the end of the week! What could be better, a cheap, healthy, quick, easy meal to have on a cold winters day! 

Give it a go and let me know what you think :)

Review: The Body Shop Vitamin E Facial Oil

Hello Everyone :)

I went shopping a few weeks ago and ended up in the Body Shop as per usual, and I ended up purchasing quite a few bits and pieces. One of the items was the Vitamin E facial oil. Im a big fan of the Vitamin E range, I tend to use the BB cream and the moisturisers from the range and so I  decided to try something new, so I picked this out...

Vitamin E Facial Oil - £11

As i've mentioned a few times throughout my blog, my skin tends to get extremely dry throughout the colder months so its SO important for me to have a good skin care routine during the colder months. Usually my skin would be really dry by now, but it isn't, so I reckon, this Vitamin E facial oil is helping my skin. Normally I would take my make-up off with a face wash and whack a load of moisturiser on and massage it into my skin. Now I do exactly the same but I use this before I apply my moisturiser.

Where this product is an oil I would only ever use it at night in order for it to sink into my skin, and I wouldn't be too keen putting it on in the morning before doing my make-up ect as I would find it too greasy. The oil is a pipet application which makes it easy too apply. When I use it, I use two drops on each side of my face and then rub it in around the rest of my face.

When I first got this product I wasn't too sure about it as I hadn't really noticed it before, however, I am so glad I did decide to purchase it. If you do suffer from dry skin then I would definitely recommend to purchase it and give it a go as I do believe my skin has benefited from this. 

Are there any products in the Body Shop you would recommend? What are you loving at the moment?

Maybelline EyeStudio Colour Tattoo 24hr cream gel eyeshadow: Review

Hey Everyone!

Sorry I've been so rubbish recently with blogging. I've started my third year at uni so things have been pretty hectic to say the least..:| 

Recently I purchased the Maybelline EyeStudio Colour Tattoo 24hr cream gel eyeshadow! I'm not a big eyeshadow lover, if I do wear eyeshadow I will wear it on a night out, but not during the day. However I saw this one in boots for £4.99 and thought I would purchase it & I am completely loving it. 

    

Maybelline EyeStudio Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Gell Eyeshadow - £4.99

It has a really nice creamy texture to it as you would expect it to as its in the name. I've worn it quite a few times now, and it definitely doesn't last for 24hrs but that doesn't bother me too much. I purchased the colour "And On Bronze" and I love it, its quite a subtle colour, however it looks really nice for a more casual daytime look. They have 9 different shades in this range and I will definitely be purchasing some more!

Do you have a favourite eyeshadow?

Topshop Coral Jumper :)

 Topshop Knitted Quilted Jumper - £38

River Island Gold Chain Necklace - £8

Hey Everyone :)

I went shopping the other day and I just chucked on this jumper a long with my Black disco pants with some ankle boots as I just wanted something comfy to wear to look around the shops & I had so many people come up to me saying they loved the jumper! So I thought I would do a little blog post and let you all know where I purchased it from! The jumper it self is from Topshop, its so comfy to wear with leggings/disco pants. The colour of it is beautiful. I wore my River Island gold chain necklace to go with it as I thought a statement necklace will complete the outfit. 

Have you brought any nice winter jumpers yet?

Healthy fruit smoothie :)

Hello Everyone :)

Supermarkets these days do SO many different fruit smoothies with the majority of them being on special offer. Even though they taste amazing, half the time there not as healthy as you think as they are packed full of sugars, sweetners ect so I thought I would make my own so I know exactly what is going into what I am drinking & I thought I would share the recipe with you guys :)

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

1. A cup of frozen fruit of your choice. (I used mixed berries) you can use fresh if you prefer too. 

2. A cup of Almond milk. 

3. Two tablespoons of fat free natural yoghurt

4. A tablespoon of honey

5. & a banana

Step 1:

Put the fruit including the banana into the blender along with the natural yoghurt. 

Step 2: 

Turn the blender on and gradually pour in the milk. 

Step 3: 

Once its all blended together, taste it, and if you want it sweeter add some honey & then your done in THREE easy steps :) 

Enjoy :)

These are really good to make the night before and have them in the morning because you can just keep it in the fridge and they are so easy to make!

What are your favourite smoothies? Let me know what you think :)
