Easy Healthy Breakfasts with Recipes

Wednesday 17 May 2017
Being a uni student and just an all round useless person when it comes to eating proper meals and eating breakfast I have decided to share with you some of my favourite breakfasts, that often I meal prep and the beginning of the week and enjoy throughout the week so I don't have to worryaboutt missing a meal.


Egg "muffins"



I am not really a fan o solid food in the mornings however if i am working night shift I like to have something to eat before I go to uni (or bed).

Serves 6

Ingredients:
6 Eggs
Mixed Veggies
Paprika

1. Preheat oven to 180C Bake. Whisk the eggs until they are smooth.
2. Pour the whisked egg into a muffin tray.
3. Add as many mixed veggies as you desire to the muffin tins and sprinkle with a little paprika.
4. Bake for 15mins or until egg is cooked through.
5. Enjoy.

NB: If you are meat eater you can add bacon, I put this around the outside of the muffin tin and pour the egg and veggies in the centre.


Smoothie



I love this one for mornings I want something a little more substantial you can also do the same thing as the instruction or you can chuck all the ingredients in a pot on the stove and make a delicious porridge and maybe pop some honey on top as well.

1 cup Almond Milk (or whatever milk you want, I prefer to use a non-dairy milk)
1/2 Cup Oats
150gms Mixed berries

1. leave the oats in the milk overnight to soak. (This isn't necessary however it means the oats are a little finer and creamier)
2. Chuck everything in a blender or Nutri-bullet or whatever you want in order to blend it all together to create a delicious drink.

NB: for a slight variation you can add coconut to the top or instead of turning this into a drink turn it into a porridge with all the same ingredients in a pot on the stove. If i do this I add about 1/4 Cup of shredded coconut to add a little more flavour.



Green "Juice"

I have juice on quotation marks because well I just shove everything in a blender and it could also be called a smoothie but whatever.

Serving: At least 2

1 Cup Spinach
1 Cup Kale
2 Bananas
1 Cup Pineapple (or you can substitute this with pineapple juice although I find it is too sweet)
2 tsp Chia Seeds
4 tsp Spirulina powder
2 tsp Cinnamon
Water or coconut water

1. Chuck everything in a blender
2. blend.
3. Enjoy

NB: Sometimes it can be a little chunky depending on how many bananas you use and how much water etc so often I put everything in like above, then when I pour it into my glass I fill the glass half way and add water the rest of the way.

What are your easy go to breakfasts? Have you tried any of these?

May Life Update: New Job, Exams, Blogging & What's Next?

Tuesday 16 May 2017
Honestly I wasn't going to write this post becasue I didn't want to. Life has been crazy lately.



What have I even been up to?

  • Uni Assignments
  • Started a new job
  • studying for Exams
  • Secret project
I would also like it noted several friends have called me crazy for having the schedule I have but i wouldn't change any of it for the world.


Uni & Exams
Uni this month hass been crazy, I have three essays due on the same day, another two the week after that and exams in a few weeks. I feel stressed and moody. I have to get decent grades this year as well in orde rto get into post-grad so that is a whole lot of added pressure. I am also going to do a blog post soon on why I chose to go to uni  and also what i want to do after uni. The reason I am goin gto write a whole blog psot on this topic is because it has changed so much and ove rthe last month I hve made some big decsion (which I am still notcertain on) and I want to share with you guys as my readers what my fears are and what I am excited for in the future.  I also have exams coming up so I have been busy preparing for them.

New Job
If you follow me on twitter you will know that I have started a new job. It sort of came out of no where I applied for a job months ago and I didn't hear back so thought nofting of it, I ha also since got another job although it was garnateeed hours which made thigs difficult. I then got a call last week for another position at this company (after a week of calling eachother bak nad fourth getting voicemal) that I appie for mothns ago and they asked if i could come in for an interview the next day, I did as my attitude was very much what's the harm. I went to the interview honestly, with the mindset I wasn't going to get the job, and well I was worng they offered me the job on the spot and I started a couple of days after. I also had a phone call that same week about another interview which I then cancelled because in all honesty I was not interested in that job at all. Thus I ahve started a new job and about an hour ago i got a message asking if  i was interested in another job, I have literally had job offers all ove rht eplace however I like the job I am currently in and thus the job offer i got a few hours ago will stay at just a job offer.

That's all I can really talk about in terms of the secret project once I am able to talk about it I will, it is hugely personal and very exciting. 

What's Next? 
  • 1 post per week until July ( I will now be publishing posts on Wednesdays at 8pm NZST)
  • Continued Mental Health Series
  • Potentially vlogs if you guys want to see them??
  • Relationship Series
Would you like to see vlogs? What are you most excited about?

My Everyday Autumn Make Up Bag

Sunday 7 May 2017
These are the products I currently have and use in my everyday make up bag, I am obsessed with all these products and have used most of them for quite a while.

Za Perfect Action Mascara Snudgeproof
I have talked about this product before you can check it out here on my 'Everyday Make up Favourites' post, here on my 'Creating A Cruelty Free make up Bag' post and here on my 'January & february 2017 Favourites' post.

L.A. Girl Matte Flat finish Pigment Gloss Rebel
I am currently obsesssed with this lip product and the colour of it. I have always like dark, bright ~I know that doesn't really make sense~ lip colours like this and I love the matte look. I did go through a  nude phase last year but I have gone back to dark colours and I am truly in love with this.

Covergirl ready Set Gorgeous Light
I have talked about this product before you can check it out  here on my 'Creating A Cruelty Free make up Bag' post. Although I will not be pruchasing this product again I to currently like using it and i really life the formula they use.

Rimmel London Lasting Finish 103 True ivory
I have talked about this product before you can check it out  here on my 'Creating A Cruelty Free make up Bag' post. I also will not be repurchasing this product however I love the formula and the coverage this foundation gives.

Elizabeth Arden Lip Pencil Orchid
I love this lip pencil, I use this under the matte 'lipgloss' to give a little moisture and to give the lip colour a little bit of brightness, it also makes my lip colour last a lot longer.


What make up products do you use everyday? Do you use and love any of these products?
