My Favourite Power Salad!

It's always nice to have a simple go to salad recipe, that is able to fill you and fuel you with yummy, fresh ingredients!This salad is a staple for myself and super easy to make! It is a super salad of sorts, with spinach and avocado as the base and grape tomatoes, sunflower seeds and shredded chicken used as the toppings. Below is how you can make this salad for yourself!!

power salad:  chicken, avocado, pine nuts, feta cheese, tomatoes and spinach #foods #recipes

Ingredients:

  • 1 bunch of spinach, washed and chopped
  • 2 large ripened avocados, peeled and sliced  
  • 1 small case of cherry tomatoes, sliced in half's
  • Half a cup of crumbled feta cheese
  • Half a cup of sunflower seeds
  • 1-2 shredded chicken breast(s)
  • Your choice of salad dressing ( I like just a drizzle of balsamic vinegar)

Spring 2015 Hair and Beauty Trends

It's always nice to shake-up your day to day makeup look and introduce some new seasonal colours and trends. Below are some of this seasons top make-up and hair trends, exploring with purple (lilac, plum, lavender) hues and playing it simple with our hair (think messy pony-tails, teasing and braids). Also, look for graphic use of eye liner and nail polish, a golden glow and bright lips!  What do you all think? Can you see yourself introducing some of these trends into your spring make-up look? Myself I'm going with the wash of plum over the eyes.. to die for!!! :)

Ditching the Skinny Jeans?!

So recently searching through blogs, websites and magazines I am noticing a fashion trend appearing... could it possibly be the end of the road for our beloved skinny jeans!!? I do believe some of us will never let go of our skinny jeans, as they just fit so perfectly in a pair of tall boots... but aren't we all getting a little sick of the same dominating silhouette? What do you all think are wide leg pants/jeans cool again??


boho look for autumn - still loving the flare for the way it balances the thighs.  Keeping my fingers crossed that skinny jeans don't completely take over!

Flares, Bc skinny jeans haven't always been the only way

I Had to Do It!

Once and a while the fashion industry surprises us and today was one of those times! During the Valentino Fall 2015 fashion show actors Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller graced the catwalk as their famous Zoolander characters, and quite honestly stole the show!

What do you guys think? Haven't we all missed that classic pout and model stare? :)

Dolce and Gabbana celebrates Moms in Runway Show!!

In their Milan Fall 2015 show entitled "Viva la Mamma", mothers were front and center throughout the Dolce and  Gabbana's runway show. Through the clothing, decor and also the models themselves ( one was six  months pregnant and three other models walked with their own children) the celebration of mothers was very prevalent. All in all it was a very playful and heartfelt tribute to the beauty of motherhood and I have to say that Spice Girls track Mama (which was playing in the runway show) always gets to me somehow!
