BREAKFAST SMOOTHIE- Banana Papaya Avocado Smoothie

I have been putting avocado in my smoothies and it just isn't the same without an avocado. It makes the texture of the smoothies much smoother and richer.

You'll need:

1/2 cup diced Papaya

1 banana

1 inch sliced piece of ginger

1/6 of a large avocado

1/4 Sambazo frozen Acai puree

1/2 medium size lemon
1 blender (I used a Magic Bullet Blender http://amzn.to/2GRiAUH)

Instructions:

1. Ensure you wash all ingredients before peeling. 
2. Add all the ingredients your blender and blend.

Tip:

Some blenders won't blend your smoothie into a completely smooth texture unless you blend it for a long period. I find that some blenders get burnt out and their motors stop working if you leave it running for a extended period, so it is best to blend in segments of 30 seconds at a time to avoid burning out your blender and in order to get your smoothest texture. 

BREAKFAST MEAL- Chickpea Sandwich

 

You'll need:

3/4 cup Garbonzo beans (chickpeas)

1 inch sliced piece of celery stick

1 riri pepper

1/4 onion

1 tsp yellow mustard

1/4 tsp salt http://amzn.to/2GPn0vF

2 slices whole wheat bread

1 leaf lettuce

4 slices of a small tomato

4 thin slices cucumber

Instructions:

1. I used an entire pack of chickpeas, but only used about a 3/4 cup of it. Ensure you rinse your peas before cooking.
2. Add peas with about the same amount of water as the peas to a pressure cooker and pressure for 1/2 hour until soft. If after cooking it isn't soft enough to crush into a paste, pressure for an additional 15 minutes.
3. Take about 1 cup of chick peas from the cooked set. Ensure you drain excess water and add drained peas to a separate bowl.
4. With a fork, mash chickpeas until it becomes paste like.
5. Grate the riri pepper, celery and onion and add to mashed chick peas with the yellow mustard and mix well.
6. Toast bread slices and then spread chickpeas mixture evenly on both bread slices.
7. Add lettuce, tomato and cucumber to one side of slice bread that has been toasted and had the chickpeas mixture added to it and then cover with the other slice bread that has been toasted and had the chickpeas mixture added to it.
8. Slice in half to serve and eat.

LUNCH- Okra Cookup Rice

 

You'll need:

  

5 heads green onion

1 stick celery

1 branch parsley leaves

1/2 medium size tomato

2 cloves garlic

20 stems of thyme

1 cup spinach

1 cup chopped okra

2 riri peppers

3 tbsp olive oil http://amzn.to/2GOAaZz

1 tbsp yellow mustard

2 & 1/2 cups Jasmine rice http://amzn.to/2F7Ubgy

salt to taste http://amzn.to/2GPn0vF

Instructions:

1. Place a large pot on high fire and add 3 tablespoons olive oil.
2. Dice and then add green onions, celery, parsley, tomato, garlic, thyme & riri pepper to oil and sear for minutes.
3. Add coconut milk and mustard to seared seasonings, stir and let simmer for 5 minutes.
4. After 5 minutes have passed, add the spinach and okra to the seasoning and coconut milk that is simmering along with 2 cups of water and let simmer for 5 more minutes.
5. Now ensure you rinse your rice, let the rinse water out and add rice to pot with seasonings, calaloo, okra and coconut milk.
6. Stir and let cook on high fire for 5 minutes.
7. When 5 minutes is up, turn fire down low and let steam until you get the desired softness.

 DINNER-Chinese Stir Fry Vermicelli

You'll need:

6 heads green onion

1 stick celery

1 onion

3 garlic
3 riri pepper

1 pack whole grain rice vermicelli

1/2 cup olive oil http://amzn.to/2GOAaZz

1 pack sliced baby bella mushrooms

2 tbsp sugar

salt to taste http://amzn.to/2GPn0vF

2 tsp chilli powder

1/2 carrot

2 & 1/2 cups snow peas

1 cup chopped cabbage 
1/4 red bell pepper 
1/4 yellow bell pepper 
1/4 green bell pepper  
1/2 cup warm water
2 tsp Grace browning sauce https://goo.gl/cv3tbg

Instructions:

1. Place 1 pack vermicelli to 4 cups boiling water and boil for no more that 3-5 minutes.
2. Strain vermicelli, rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and then add a little oil to avoid sticking. Ensure that after you have added the oil, you distribute the oil throughout the vermicelli.
3. Now for the mushrooms. Open pack with mushrooms and rinse then drain water if needed.
4. Add 3 cloves grated garlic, 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar and salt to taste. Distribute contents evenly.
5. Heat a skillet on high heat and grizzle a light amount of oil in pan. 
6. Add seasoned mushroom and allow to brown on both sides.
7. After mushroom has been browned on both sides, add 3 tablespoons of oil to mushrooms and add celery, onion, only 3 heads of green onion (save the other three heads for later) and riri pepper and stir fry for 3 minutes or until the seasonings have been cooked to your satisfaction.
8. Add snow peas, carrot, cabbage and bell pepper to stir fry and toss for 2 minutes.
9. Add vermicelli, sugar and salt. Mix all contents together.
10. In half cup warm water add salt to taste, Grace browning sauce and sugar. Ensure items have been dissolved and pour over vermicelli.
11. Take the last set of green onions and garnish for added flavour. 
12. Serve hot.

Tips:

If you boil vermicelli for too long, it becomes soggy. So the least amount of minutes that you can boil it for is recommended. I realized that mixing the vermicelli too many times makes it break easily, so try and stir at least times as possible.

Going BRALESS and the benefits of HOT sales for the unemployed!

Heeeey everyone! I am ultra excited to share with you what I had so much pleasure in dealing with for the past week. I shopped some really cute blouses that would require going braless and really, who wants to go braless nowadays? I also have had the pleasure of shopping comfortably for a few pieces, although, I am not yet on the employed list.

I personally always knew that for whatever fashion you wanna sport, that there is always the appropriate type of underwear to wear without shouting out, "HEY, these are the type of bra and undies that I am wearing underneath my clothes today." Soooo, I was in Nordstrom recently and glanced some Gel Petals Reusable Nipple Covers. I had to try them for myself to see what the experience was really like.

I wore these babies for the first time two days ago and can I tell you that I am in love! I didn't even miss my bra. I haven't reworn them yet, so I am not sure if the adhesive will hold up as good as the first time. I did buy them in the colour nude, which may not work well for you if the colour of your skin is dark brown and you would like to wear a sheer blouse but goes perfectly for regular materials and blouse that are backless or that require strapless bras. The way it fits the model in the above photo is the same way mine fit me and although I took photos of mine, I won't show you what the actual thing looks like. Hehehe. Wearing them were effortless and I didn't feel a thing. 

If you wanna try em for yourself, here are the details below:

4 Pairs Nipple Covers Pasties Womens Reusable Adhesive Invisible Silicone Cover http://amzn.to/2hLcGOe

The link I provided above isn't the exact item I purchased, but should work as a good substitute brand.

As for sales, I have been shopping primarily sale sections online and in store. My personal favourite would be this Women's Lace High-Neck Tank by Xhilaration. I also wore the gel petas with the blouse that I am sporting in the pic below. It is fun, chic and adds just a tiny bit of sexiness to your wardrobe for not really bottom dollar price, but at least it was below $20 on sale. I checked for the exact blouse on Target's website and it is currently unavailable, but I till sill share the link. Click here to view.

Join me on my weekly Execise Workout...

Hello everyone. Thank you for visiting my website. It means the world to me that you have taken the time and even thought in doing so. There are so many things I am pursuing in an effort to just live a fulfilled and happy life. One of those things would be exercise. Our body is the greatest tool we can use in not only helping others, but in fulfilling the many things we dream about achieving. Taking good care of it should be our very first priority, after all, no one will do it for us.

I will admit, that I am by no means the type of person that loves exercise readily, but I will admit that I sure do feel wonderful after fulfilling a routine. For the past few weeks, I have been trying, not my utmost best, but somewhat to get fit. My friend, Trish, recommended I follow Fitness Blender on YouTube as they post weekly workouts for their viewers and subscribers to follow. So I will post this weeks workout. It's Pilates. Honestly in this weeks workout I have found that this routine isn't very hard, but you do feel the workout in your muscles, which is the aim of any exercise routine or else you will just get that workout done in vain. I have noticed that when I started exercising a few weeks back that my hearts would race uncontrollably, now, it doesn't. It means I am finally getting fit. Why won't you join me on this incredible journey by getting involved and doing what is best for your body.

How does Spirulina taste?

So there's the Spirulina song by Jamaican Reggae Artiste, Chronixx, well, that is the first time I have ever heard of the herb or plant based leaf, or so I think. I thought it was a leaf. 

After having decided to eat a vegan diet, I visited Fancy Fruits Health'staurant for a fruit smoothie, packed with protein and they recommended adding Spirulina in powered form. It made the colour of my smoothies very green, but to my pleasant surprise, it had no taste in my opinion.

 

I tried it again from another place called Fruits Gallery and it was just a tasteless. Eating healthy doesn't have to be hard, especially when you have to get all your greens in.

I thought Spirulina was a tree, but it is a sea weed and seems to be widely available in powder form. Here is what the Online Oxford Dictionary says about it:

A genus of filamentous cyanobacteria in which the filaments are characteristically spiral in shape. They are capable of gliding motility. They are found in freshwater and marine habitats, mostly in warmer regions; and are also found in hot springs. Spirulina is collected and used as food in the region of Lake Chad, Africa.

October favorites 2016 | NEW Fragrance | NEW Photoshoot | EOS | NICKA K New York

Hello Lovies,

I love doing favourites videos and I wish I could feature more stuff, but I have what I have and I am happy you still stop by to check out my monthly faves. This month I got a few more stuff than last month.

1. Be Joyful Fine Fragrance Mist by Bath & Body Works http://amzn.to/2gMj0jG

This fragrance blend of perfume and fruitiness is loved by everyone who smells it. I couldn't resist, but to place it on my monthly favorites list. Usually, you have to spray a lot when using mists, but this one is pungent. 

2. Family Portrait (Click here to view more photos)

Who doesn't love a good family portrait? I mean really. These wonderful shots were taken by Expression Photography. Tel: 1876-469-7445

3. NICKA K New York Eyebrow Pencil (Cocoa NEP04) http://amzn.to/2gZSdmJ

 

4. Anco Eye Pencil in Dark Brown (colour number, 25), type soft.

 I love this eye pencil for my brows a lot. I think it goes almost perfectly with the shade that would best suit my brows. No need to go heavy on it though. You can look drag! lol. A very light application goes a long way.

5. Drop Lace Waist Dress from Forever 21 in Size Sml

This 'little black dress' is a tad bit too little for me, but can be worn at the beach or at a nice hotel. This made my October Faves list because of the lining on the inside. I am definitely cutting it out and wearing that lovely lining to bed.

6. One-A-Day Women's Multivitamin Tablets http://amzn.to/2fW6g8a

I love these multivitamins. We really do not get enough nutrition from food nowadays, especially if that food is an GMO (Genetically Modified Organism). I feel so bright and full of energy when I take these. I would like to know if they are synthetic in anyway. I hope not.

7. Rite Aid Cod Liver Oil (30 count only to link provided for purchase) https://goo.gl/3dCNa3

  8. EOS Lip Balm http://amzn.to/2fJLYmV

I love, love, this lip balm for days when you don't want to wear a sticky lip gloss or you just want to keep it neutral, EOS lip balm is the deal and it comes in different flavours. The blue one smells a tad bit fruity, but nothing strong. Very stubble.
