Don't know about you but we are making the most of Don't know about you but we are making the most of the last days of this warmer weather with smoothies and smoothie bowls for breakfast and snacks. ⁠ ⁠ Smoothie bowls make a fabulous healthy option because they are fruit-based but while it's all-natural sugar, in their blended form, they can contain far more servings of fruit than you’d typically eat in one sitting. ⁠ ⁠ Which means the fructose hits the bloodstream quickly and all at once which can then spike insulin and send our blood sugar on a rollercoaster ride. And because smoothie bowls are carbohydrate-based you can end up hungry again very soon after.⁠ ⁠ The trick is to make sure there is enough protein, fat, and fibre to balance out the carbs and get a slower release and stable breakdown in the body.  ⁠ ⁠ Head to the link in my bio to find my delicious and creamy Berry Smoothie Bowl recipe and the ingredients and combinations I use to make it a healthier option.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #smoothiebowl #smoothies #fruit #superfood #rawfood #plantbased #fruits #veganfoodshare #healthybreakfast #rawvegan #wholefoods #smoothie #breakfast #breakfastideas #vegan #veganrecipes #plantbasedfood #easyrecipes #simplemeals #feedfeed #buzzfeast #healthyrecipes #healthyfood #foodie #foodies #foodblogger #foodiesofinstagram #nourish #nourishyourbody #kidapprovedfood

Speaking with my mate yesterday afternoon I could Speaking with my mate yesterday afternoon I could hear her rattling away in the kitchen and I asked what she's making for dinner to which she answered her daughter's favourite - bocconcini, tomato and basil on toast. As it turns out, upon request, I was also cooking my daughter's favourite which unfortunately for me was homemade gozleme which involves quite a few more steps than my friends dinner I can tell you! ⁠ ⁠ While it feels like a bit of a labour of love making gozleme from scratch, it's so damn deliciously worth it! Tonight will be takeaway 😊⁠ ⁠ Maybe give this recipe a try this weekend?

I use a lot of @nudebynature beauty products, name I use a lot of @nudebynature beauty products, namely their lip glosses, lipliners and mascara, so I was excited when they offered to send me a few new products they have created and I absolutely love them and they’ll be permanent fixtures in my make-up kit. I've never really worn much foundation but apparently I’ve developed rosacea (long story) and I’m using the @nudebynature Hydra Serum Tinted Skin Perfector (Nude Beige) which has been awesome to help even out my skin. It’s a nice and lightweight texture which is perfect because I loathe that feeling of makeup being caked on. It’s easy to build it up the cover on the more red and inflamed areas of my face too. Being 52 yrs young my skin tends to be on the dry side and I love that this foundation has Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E that infuse the skin with moisture. RRP 34.95 Up until now I haven’t been able to find a mineral blush I’ve been happy with, so sometimes I’ve just rubbed in a dot of lipstick into my cheeks. I simply adore the @nudebynature Virgin Blush they sent me. It's a bit more colour than I’m used to, but I just have to apply a little less to achieve the lovely, natural flush I’ve always wanted RRP 24.95 Plus,I'm loving the Angled Blush Brush which makes blending super easy. RRP 26.95 I’m already a big fan of the @nudebynature lipgloss so I was keen to try the Moisture Infusion Lipgloss in Bare. I wear it over my lipstick because the lipgloss is a cross between a gloss and a balm, and it adds moisture to my lips which tend to be quite dry, whilst adding a natural, glossy shine. It’s nice and light too.

With a teenager daughter I’m often asked what na With a teenager daughter I’m often asked what natural skincare I buy her. Being in my early 50’s, my personal skin challenges are around aging and dehydration, whereas when I was a teenager it was all related to puberty, hormone imbalances and haywire skin! Teen skin issues are mostly centred around oily skin due to overactive oil glands, which can cause blocked pores resulting in breakouts and blackheads. At this age, they also can shed too many dead skin cells which can also clog pores and lead to blackheads, whiteheads and pimples. Then there’s the issue of bacteria getting caught inside the pores causing inflammation, redness, and irritation, basically the start of acne. It’s easy to see why it’s important for our teens to get into a good skin care routine!
