Empties #1


I haven't done a post like this before, but let's give it a try. I thought as well as beauty and skincare products, I should put a non empty product just to mix things up a bit.

Pantene Pro V Extra Strong Hairspray (£3.69) - If you remember my haul from a while while while back in September, you know that I bought two different types of hairspray. I thought this one would be the hairspray would hold any curl in place, turns out it doesn't. Well not for my hair anyway. But I still tried to use it all up to its very last drop. I wouldn't purchase this one again though.

Max Factor False Lash Effect (£10.99) - This mascara is amazing!! Especially in the waterproof version. I wore this whilst swimming and it holds up and does not flake at all. But you do need a good make up remover to get this off. Preferably something oily like the Botanics Eye make up remover. Definitely need to repurchase this after I finish my Maybelline's Big Eye Mascara.

Witch Skin Clearing Primer (£6.99) - I LOVE this. If you get spots frequently and need something to calm it down and reduce the size and redness, get this. I apply this before my make up on days I get breakouts and I sometimes use it before bed to just to calm down the spots. It really does work. Definitely another repurchase.

MUA's Fixing Mist (£5) - I know fixing mists are supposed to be used for after you finish applying all of your make up. But I find that using it to wet or dampen your make up sponge works better rather than using water. It's just another reassurance that your make up will stay put before you after your powder, blusher and all that jazz.

Maybelline's Baby Lips in Intense Care (£2.99) - Another amazing product, I've literally scraped every last bit of this lip balm. It's a must have for me. I also did a little review previously, make sure you check that too.

Last but not least, GREEN TEA! Twinings in Mango and Lychee (£1.59) - I can't get enough of this flavour, it's so sweet and comforting. Perfect with my breakfast, after my lunch and after dinner for ease of digestion aha. It's healthy and helps with burning fat as well. 

So that sums up my empties for now, I might do this after every time I get a significant amount of empty products rather than every month. What do you guys think?

My Everyday Breakfast

When it comes to breakfast I like to keep it the same everyday. I don't know why but it just works for me. The only time I would change my breakfast is if I'm in a rush (so I grab a Belvita bar) or if it's a weekend (Big breakfast time). 
I've been eating this combination for about 4 months now and I can honestly say that I don't get hungry early. I usually eat this around 8 and start to get peckish around 1. Whereas when I eat a bowl of Coco Pops I tend to get hungry after an hour. So here's a few snapshots of what I eat and how I make it :)

Enjoy


What you'll need:
- Green Tea
- Peanut Butter
- Banana
- Wholemeal Seeded Bread
- Butter*
-Almonds*
- Manuka Honey*

(* - Not necessarily needed, just for my taste buds to be happy) 


Toast your seeded bread. A little bit of butter (not actually needed) and a ton of peanut butter. Smooth not chunky!


Slice up some ripe bananas so it will fit on your toast.


Place your sliced bananas on your bread. Be messy with it or be a neat freak like me and put it in rows. Oh and we can't forget the green tea. I add the smallest amount of honey just to cut out the bitterness. Leave to brew for about 2 minutes and then take the tea bag out. If I'm having a long day at uni or just having a busy day I make sure I put a few almonds on the side to as they help to keep cravings to a minimum during the day.


 Now sit back, eat your peanut buttered bananas with almonds and sip on your lovely hot green tea.

P.s IT'S NEARLY CHRISTMAS.
