Smoothie time!

If you're like me, you don't really want to eat in the mornings. It has been proven that if you do not eat in the morning you will be a lot hungrier during the day. So instead of going on an empty stomach why don't you drink your first meal?


We're gonna make a smoothie! There are a lot of recipes all over the world but i'm just going to make a simple one that tastes great.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups (12 ounces) plain fat-free yogurt
3 to 4 bananas, peeled, cut into chunks
14 ounces strawberries with stems removed, roughly chopped to equal 3 cups
1/4 cup skim milk or soy milk
2 tablespoons honey

1 cup ice

(none of the measurements are exact and you can change according to proportion)

 

The bananas and strawberries are full of antioxidants and will naturally wake you up without caffeine. The banana will slowly release energy throughout the day.

 

The only step is to add to your blender and purée to your hearts desire. Enjoy!

DIY Body Butter

Yay! Another DIY.
This quick and easy DIY would be great for a gift or just to give yourself a treat.
Ingredients and thins you will need:
Coconut oil
An essential oil of your choice
A hand held whisk
A cute jar or container


Instructions:
Step 1:
Get your coconut oil and scoop out as much as you want to fill your container. Coconut oil will be the base of the cream. The oils will infuse with your skin and soak deep down so it will moisturise a whole lot better than other products with chemicals.

Step 2:
Get your whisk and go crazy (not literally)! It should whip up and look like whipped cream.

Step 3: Add any of your essential oils to your preference. You could also add a food colouring to give it a tint so it looks really nice. Just don't add to much because it could stain your skin, it most likely won't but you never know.

Step 4:

Finally put your moisturiser into a jar and decorate as you see fit. An ideas would be to make a little tag and tie it on with a ribbon. And your finished!
