The Healthy Edit - Mini Quiche & Healthy Pizza

Lately I've been in a bit of a food slump - I honestly feel like I eat the same few dishes ever few weeks and that I am getting a bit bored with myself - its not just me either, my husband has been making comments about trying to incorporate new foods into our diet and honestly i couldn't agree more.

So over the past few weeks I have been slowly experimenting with our meals and adding in new and healthy foods that really are yummy!

These two are honestly favourites by far of the many meal recipes I have been trying (desserts are a whole other post)  and honestly they are probably the easiest. 

Healthy Pizzas
Made up of a whole bunch of ingredients in my fridge and chucked in the oven to fill a pizza craving that we all know isn't good for us? sounds about perfect to me. These Pizzas were so yummy & honestly healthy that I don't know that my husband or I will ever be able to go back to the fast food types. 

Ingredients: Wholemeal mini pita, baby spinach, egg, garlic, tomato paste, light cheese, roasted peppers, cracked pepper, oregano ( you could easily add onion, tomatoes etc), oven baked for 10- 15 mins or until crispy at 180 degrees.

Mini Quiches
Throw a whole bunch of raw ingredients into a muffin pan and bake in the oven for 20 mins and you have a meal? Thats honestly how easy this recipe is! These were a true favourite with my husband and I think they are honestly a breakfast, lunch or dinner food! We served ours with a piece of buttered toast but you can honestly have them on their own and they are truly satisfying. They are also dairy, gluten and sugar free!

Ingredients:baby spinach, bacon, red peppers, garlic, cracked pepper, lightly salted, beaten egg poured into muffin tins and baked at 180 degrees for 20 mins.

I have been really enjoying these recipes and i hope your family loves them just as much as mine!

Stay tuned for more healthy recipes!

Thankyou for reading

Have you checked out my youtube channel?

So I realised I have never fully introduced my youtube channel on my blog- which is bad blogger etiquette to be honest. 

I started my youtube channel about 11 months ago now, although my first videos are SO embarrassing! But since then I have been trying to upload regularly and I am pretty proud of how far I have come! I now upload twice a week now and I am really trying to improve my content.


So if you haven't checked out my youtube, you should check it out and subscribehttp://www.youtube.com/subscription_c... ! 


I make videos on healthy foods, weightless and fitness, beauty and fashion! So if you have an interest in any of those you might love my channel! 

My recent video was my healthy pancake recipe video!

Feeling Sick & Spendy Haul

FullSizeRender-4
This past weekend I was hit with the motherload of all colds - 4 of the 8 people in my office came down with the flu and all came into work coughing and spluttering and sharing their germs, and low and behold by the time I went to bed on Friday night I was sick as a dog. So of course, the best way to feel better is to do some retail therapy!
I went into a few stores: Priceline, H&M and Chemist warehouse, while also receiving some AMAZING gifts from my friend Maddy aswell by way of Sephora and Morphe!

The place that started it all was of course Priceline - for those of you who aren't Australian, Priceline is a drugstore which stocks mostly beauty products. While in the store, we found they were having a massive sale on perfume, and proceeded to pick up a Juicy Couture perfume for myself (because i look like crap but I can smell beautiful right?)  & a Guess perfume for my husband- whose birthday is coming up in July.

Covergirl was also having a sale $10 for all eye and lip products (and who can say no to a sale like that!) I had heard Rachel from Rachhloves talk about these eyeshadow quads and i thought, if Rachel raves about them- i will give them a go...and proceeded to pick up not 1...but 2 quads! Oh and I didn't stop there, I also picked up a mascara- because why not right?

Finally in priceline I went past the maybelline stand and saw the fit me concealer in shade 15, which is of course my shade and is of course ALWAYS sold out, so i quickly snatched it off the shelves at a speed that would probably rival the flash and in doing so saw the brow drama eyebrow gel on sale and just had to see what the fuss was about with coloured brow gels as I myself have always been a pencil or powder girl.
Next I stumbled into H&M - by accident of course...and was looking for a hat- which unfortunately I wasn't able to find one that suited my head shape, but while i was in there i picked up 2 knitted headbands which have now become quite an obsession, and a 2 pack of gloves to keep my fingers warm in this freezing weather.

 & my final destination, which in turn ended my shopping spree, was actually chemist warehouse, who was having 50% off all cosmetics- which in my opinion was too good of a deal to say no to. I picked up the maybelline fit me stick foundation, which has intrigued me for awhile and at $7, why not give it a go, i also found 2 of the rimmel apocalips matte lips sticks (not pictured) and snatched those up aswell & my last purchase was the Johnsons baby shampoo- for my makeup brushes to be baby soft!

& While those were all my purchases, as i said i was also gifted some wonderful makeup from my friend Maddy. She had a friend who visited a sephora in the US who managed to get me the 24 hour liquid eyeliner in the most beautiful baby blue colour, aswell as one of the cluster matte lipsticks in magenta luster. I was also lucky enough to receive not 1 but 2 of the morphe eyeshadow palettes, including the Jaclyn Hill palette, and 3 eye brushes, which was so amazing and such a surprise and I couldn't (and can't) thank her enough! I will be doing a full post on these soon, so stay tuned for some beautiful pictures!
&Thats the end of my haul! Have you guys ever felt sick so you spend money to feel better?
What have you bought lately?
