Neutrogena Soothing Clear Turmeric Mist Review
I had been looking for a mist/spray for a while that wasn't too expensive just to refresh my face throughout the day or after the gym which could help with any breakouts. So you can imagine I was pleased to see when Neutrogena brought out the Clear and Soothe range which included a facial mist! The reason I was drawn to this range is due to it including tumeric.
Tumeric has of late become very popular and not just in the kitchen but also in the beauty world. It's rich in antioxidants, great as an anti-inflammatory.

The Ordinary hyaluronic acid review
Do you now how long I have wanted to try something from The Ordinary? Well for the absolute longest! Their packaging just looks so simple and clean and like no fuss. They have so many products I wasn't sure where exactly to begin.
So every so often I would browse the internet and just generally look to see what kind of products are out there and what to use. I also went to a couple talks about skincare by Dermalogica and Kiehls and it made me think more about my skincare regime and need to step it up a bit.
As a introduction I decided I would try the hyaluronic acid, now this does come in different form, you can either take supplements, apply direct onto the skin or I did read injectable? Not sure if I would want to do that. Our bodies naturally have this but over time basically as we get older (lol) it decreases. There is several benefits to using this which include:

Spinach and mushroom pasta recipe
If you know me you will know I absolutely love to cook and I have decided that each month (maybe twice a month, depending how the first dish goes) I am going to try and cook a new dish. What I like with cooking is something simple and something which is Slimming World friendly, that means avoiding oils, creams, butter. Yes, in a lot of recipes some of them are used but I have found some alternatives and if I'm honest I don't really miss them.
Recently I had made a quick and simple tomato sauce using fresh tomatoes rather than tinned as I couldn't get any. The reason behind this was due to some browsing on Pinterest and I see a mushroom and tomato based pasta and thought I would do something similar. I find these kind of pasta dishes easy to cook and great for meal prep.

Quick and simple home made tomato sauce
With everything that has been going on lately I have found myself doing more home cooking which I am loving. I've been throwing (not literally lol) things together and seeing what happens really. I find experimenting with food so fun
When the shortage of tinned tomatoes started amongst other things happened, I started to panic as tinned tomatoes are for me a staple item in my cupboard. One day I went out and I honestly couldn't find any tinned tomatoes even plum anywhere but I could find fresh, so I decided I would make my own tomato sauce to go with my pasta
This is just a quick and simple recipe I have been using lately and it's great to add to any pasta dish. Also I am doing slimming world and this is completely free!

What I use when I have my hair natural
If you know me you know you will know that 90% of the time my hair is straight. I mainly do this for ease, literally wake up and go, it's quite easy to maintain. Previously if I was to have my hair natural it would go frizzy and to me it would not look that nice like there would be some straightish bits to me it just looked a mess (or I would say a birds nest lol).
I made a decision to lay off using heat products so much as I know with the consistent heat the damage it will do over time will not be good.
After different serums, curling creams, curling activators I think I have found my perfect combination of products and my hair feels great and the curls are soooo much better than they used to be.

Chickpea and sweet potato stew recipe
If you're looking for something warming, comfort, full of veg kind of food then keep on reading. One cold winter day I really wanted something tasty and I stumbled across a chickpea and sweet potato stew recipe on tasty. I have made this quite a few times and I have slightly tweaked it and added a few extra ingredients.
As I am doing slimming world I do have to choose some things wisely so I have made sure this recipe is completely free and includes speed food!

WHAT?! I lost 6lb in one week
So I joined slimming world again. As you may know I have done slimming world in the past and for me I know this works. I just wanted to get back into good habits and get my goal body. My general diet is not too bad I try to eat clean like no fried foods but my main let down is that I love to snack from chocolate to crisps.
I will be honest I did not intend on joining again, I had lost some weight last year and I seemed to be slowly loosing more, there would be weeks I would just stay the same and maybe loose 1lb here or there but wasn't being consistent. I just sat there one day and said I am going to join why not!
The first major step is joining and I was so pleased that I did.
If you're unsure how it works I'll give a quick low down on the basics. There is four food categories:

Primark face wipes
Happy new year everyone I know I'm a little late but unfortunately I have been a bit under the weather lately.
I thought I would start this year with a review on the Primark wipes. I never knew they had so many and since I started this post I have found other ones too!
So here is my thoughts on them
Pollution protect
Ah these were my first ones I purchased, I always have a pack of these laying about somewhere. They actually do get rid of all the make up and your skin feels clean. Will always be a fav of mine!
