School Make up Bag

For school I like to wear a bit of make up..Just to make me look slightly more awake because normally after waking up at half 6 I look like something from the walking dead. So i thought i would share with you what's in my make up bag that I take to school with me

This is my make up bag, It's a ted baker one get it here

these are the ''base'' products
1. nars sheer glow in light 2
2. rimmel wake me up concealer in ivory
3.soap and glory kick ass concealer in medium
4. real techniques expert face brush
all of these are amazing especially my nars and soap and glory concealer-they definitley save me in the morning (if nars is a little bit too expensive then rimmel wake me up foundation is a very good dupe)

 1. boujours bronzing powder, i'd definitely recommend this it's amazing and smells like chocolate
 2. real techniques blush brush
 eyes:
1. soap and glory archery eyebrow pencil & tint
2. soap and glory supercat eyeliner
3. soap and glory thick and fast mascara
(seems to be a theme here haha)

I hope you enjoyed seeing what I take to school with me!

healthy-ish pasta recipe

So far this year i've been doing quite a good job of staying healthy and choosing healthier foods than last year, but I couldn't cut all my favourite foods out of my diet straight away- that would be impossible for me. So i've been slowly cutting down on my fave foods, this is why this pasta is healthy-ish because it still has a few slightly unhealthy foods in it but it is better than what was in my diet last year.

If you're looking for a yummy dinner or tea-time idea that isn't too unhealthy keep on reading;

(I am aware this doesn't look too nice but it definitely tastes nice)

what you will need:

-50g of penne pasta
-half a can of sweetcorn
-a handful of spinach
-a few stalks of asparagus
-25g of mozzarella (grated)
-olive oil (or any oil but olive oil is a little bit healthier)

First of all start off by cooking the pasta, read the back of the bag of pasta for cooking instructions. While the pasta is cooking get all your other ingredients together, also while the pasta is cooking steam or boil your asapargus (I boiled mine)...it doesn't matter if it goes cold because it will be reheated later.

When your pasta is almost done poor about a tablespoon of olive oil into the pan and let that heat up for a little bit on a medium heat.  Add the spinach and pasta and cook for 1 minute, continuously stirring.

Then add the asparagus and sweetcorn and cook for about 40-60 seconds, add your mozzarella and stir until the cheese is melted and covering the pasta. Take off the heat and leave to cool for a minute until you eat it!

That's it! How easy! It seriously tastes amazing, and i'm quite proud of myself for coming up with the recipe.

I hope you enjoy it if you make it! Also, i was thinking of doing a few more easy health type posts on my blog...anyone up for that?

past week in snapshots

Well, it's a good job my new years resolution wasn't to blog more or i would have already failed, but in my defense i have been really busy getting ready for school and everything and I went to nottingham for a few days.
I have, however, been taking pictures but using these pictures on their own would make for a very boring blog post so i've put them all in a collage, (i have stolen this idea from milkbubbletea but i very much doubt she'd ever see this)

1. I started my healthy eating and it has been going really well actually, a whole week without crisps, i really deserve an award, I made this breakfast and it was quite nice-just a bit boring but very healthy.

2. for christmas i got the marc jacobs perfume 'dot' it smells amazing and the little bottle that it's in is beautifuuul, i was also in boots and saw this purse which is made by bleach london (the temporary dye company) and i fell in love with it so it is now my new coin purse.

3. I visited nottingham and the christmas markets and decorations were still there it was soo cute and i definitely spent a bit more money than I should have.

4. this is one of my favourite outfits at the moment and I'm in love with this coat- I got it from primark for £15!

5. the naked smoothies have really been helping me keep healthy because they're so nice and sweet so instead of reaching for the bag of haribo's i've been having a sip of this and it sort of calms my extreme need for sweet things

6. I was in h&m a couple of days ago and tried this dress on, I'm sort of in love with it but not at the same time and i've never felt like that about an item of clothing before...I didn't get it in the end but i'm pretty sure i will be going back to buy it

Hope you've all had a good week and happy new year!!
