American Treats

American treeaatss!!! I have the best bf ever, although you can't see from the picture he brought back so many amazing gifts from the states.

I have an asortment of makeup, lip products lollies and chocolate. Although I have to admit I'm not really a fan of the American candy I just love it because it's sooo cute, it taste kinda funny I'll never understand the fascination of candy corn and Hershey's but I'm glad I have them because they look so cool!

It's amazing how much addictives and artificial contents the candy products contain as chocolate in nz  even the most budget cheap kind for the most part only consists of 5 ingredients - cocoa, cocoa butter, sugar, cream and vanilla. 

My most favourite products that I received have to be my two naked palates these are beyond amazing the eye shadows blend incredibly well look stunning on and are so pigmented! I absolutely am in love with urban decay!!! I cannot say enough amazing things about the naked 1 and naked 2 palates. I reay do think urban decays make the best eye shadow.

New Day New Start

Good Morning,

I woke up full of inspiration today as it is a new start to the week and today marks the start of a brand new semester at university.

A lot has happened over the last few months which I intend to upload onto this blog, I've been such a lazy blogger and I knew it would happen but my goal is to come back on here and post regularly.

I have a few healthy recipes and home-made remedies coming up along with the general what I have been up to.  I enrolled in uni last semester so I will also put up some uni & study posts :)

Well I need to start some work therefore I will blog later, at least I posted something right :)

Ciao

What's Happening Right Now

Just came back from a walk with Cat - awesome walk but my face is now bright red as a beetroot!

Online Shopping - NZ Teas

Choco Chilli Tea -  On infusion, the chilli combines with the cocoa, apple, chocolate and strawberry pieces to make a satisfying and memorable brew

Lately I've been doing something that has never appealed to me before - online shopping!

I've brought the odd products online here and there but to be honest I have always preferred to just go to the store and purchase the product myself because then I can have it straight away.

I hate the anxious feeling of waiting around wondering if your goods are actually going to arrive and although there seems to be an abundance of courier vans around your neighbourhood the saddening fact is that none are actually there for you.

I've started to warm up to shopping online as I've found out that 1) You can almost order anything your heart desires,  2) Most products I'm after are reaaaally reeaallly cheap online and 3) With all the "Daily Deal" sites these days you can get awesome bargains on things you wouldn't get in stores.

 I love "Daily Deal" sites as it opens my eyes up to stores/sites I never knew existed - for example the company T Leaf T - http://www.tleaft.co.nz.

This place is AMAZZZING!!  They stock a good variety of yummy teas,  I have ordered the following and can not wait for their arrival:

• Japan Matcha
• Kawakawa Fire
• Pina Colada
• Berry Nice
• Cinnamon Spice
• Ginseng Oolong
• Jasmine Silver Tip
• Fortune Flower
• Cinnamon Apple Chamomile
• Fountain of Youth
• Nettle Leaves
• Liquorice Star
• Choco Chilli
• Infuser Ball
• Fabulous Feijoa
• Caribbean Crush
• Anti-Cyclone

Back From The Dentist

So 2 weeks ago I went for a dental examination - including 2 x-rays plus a full cleaning,  scale and polish.

I was so happy when the dentist informed me that all I needed done was to have one cavity filled and that I had perfect teeth.

Fast forward 2 weeks and 4 injections later I have had my cavity filled and don't need any more work done.

All and all the fear of having to go to the dentist is much worse then the actual appointment itself.

I am happy my little teethies are healthy! Today is a great day even if I cant feel the right side of my face and it is completely swollen.

I looked super classy drinking a latte with a straw today when Mat and myself went out for breakfast after :)

See ya

Low Carb: Cauliflower Pizza Base

While catching up on some of my favourite blogs I came across a pizza recipe that uses cauliflower as the base.

The idea sounded intriguing and the fact that it was low carb convinced me to try it out immediately.  Off to the store I went to gather a cauli and a few other ingredients that I wanted to put on my pizza.

I've made this cauliflower pizza base twice now each time I make it it taste better and better.

The picture above is my first attempt in which I used this recipe:  http://glutenfreehappytummy.com/2012/07/21/cauliflower-pizza-party-a-graduation-gf-v-bed-scd/

The base was nice but not too tasty and I didn't like the texture of the almond flour.  The second time I changed a few things around - I upped the cauliflower to 1/2 a head,  removed the almond flour completely and added 1/3c of cheese.

The cheese made the pizza AMAZING! and the over all texture of the pizza was awesome I could hold each slice in my hand and it was crispy on the outside but the inside had a lovely chew to it.  The cheese seemed to hold the entire mixture together nicely along with adding a delicious flavour to the pizza.
