Healthy, Quick and Easy Lunches! *Collab*

Need some inspiration for some healthy quick and easy lunches for; work, school and college or even a day out? Then you've come to the right place buster! 

This post is in collaboration with the amazing DaintyFlowersxo!! Do not forget to check out her blog and her post because she has some mind blowing recipes lined up for you! 



I'm a Pescetarian (vegetarian but I eat fish) so if you're a meat lover be sure to add whatever you like to my recipes! *If you would like to know more about pescetarianism and why I'm a pescetarian, leave a request in the comments below and I will do a pescetarian themed post*



This first lunch idea is an egg pasta salad. It tastes so good and fills you up! Plus it is super healthy. All you will need is some eggs, pasta and some vegetables of your choice! I have also made my own egg yolk dip, which to some sounds revolting but trust me it tastes amazing!! What you need to do is to scoop out the egg yolk and mash it with mayonnaise (for the freshest nicest taste) and there you have it! It's smoother than hummus and it really does taste amazing! 





My second lunch idea is very similar but without the pasta and with beans too. If you don't like eggs or beans, just substitute the two but I loved this combination! I also made a bean dip where I mashed the black eye beans with chive cream cheese! 





This next recipe is not that healthy however I had to add it (Note this is a picture of my grandma's food, the chicken isn't mine haha) Jollof rice! Everyone loves jollof rice! Sometimes I just dump some into a container and take that to school! It's one of the most tasty dishes and is African (so why wouldn't you want to take this bad boy to school)!?


Or... Major life hack... buy it from the shop!! (which is probably really unhealthy and filled with sugar, and very expensive) So on second thoughts.. don't.. haha


Next a drink recipe! 

This next recipe is one of the quickest, easiest (not healthiest however) idea's ever and I love it!! I even put it in my 'List of things to do when you're bored'

You can never go wrong with this peanut butter and banana shake!

  • 1 banana
  • 1-2 tablespoons of peanut butter
  • 2 cups of milk 
  • Ice cream of choice (optional)
  • Ice 

That's it for today! I hope that this post has inspired you to make healthier lunches for wherever you may be going!
    

p.s. Don't forget to check out DaintyFlowersxo's post! and .... I did not get braces *whoo, streamers, partyyy*  (you will understand if you read my post before the previous one ;) ).

Styling

You know those days where you go into full panic mode because you have 'nothing' to wear and you are running out of time and everything you have, you hate (even though the day before you found something that totally rocked)! 

Have no fear! Peace is here!

Just throw on some skinny jeans and a cool tee with comfy shoes! If you want to dress it up a little just simply tuck in your T-shirt and pow! You're done!


Want to make it even better? Add an awesome jacket and some bracelets and you're ready to head out of the house confident and feelin' fresh! I'm the type of person that really doesn't like to spend too long on clothes and getting dressed so I live for those moments when you throw something on and you're like "get in, this actually looks good!".

With clothes, fashion and styling always just be you, if you like to follow the latest trends then do it! If you're more like me and one day you'll be all 'punk rock' and the next super fancy *like you're going somewhere important* and the day after that you look like a flowery hippy goddess then do it!

Just Chillin'

I'm back from school accepting the calm vibes at my Grandparents' house, not really doing anything so I thought ... Why not do a laid back post, right now?!

Let's talk music! 

I've recently just been catching up on R5 and their interviews and things. 
With them I'm just guaranteed to smile and Rydel recently had a tea party with all her girls and it looked awesome! She even included the R5Family and asked us all to tweet her pics of us having our own little tea parties! It was so cute and the videos posted on Instagram were so funny! (Their insta accounts are @officialR5, @rydelr5, @rossr5, @rockyr5, @rikerr5 and @ratliffr5) Also check out @rylandR5 too he's awesome and their 'manager' ;). I'm also so excited for Riker to be on Dancing With The Stars!! I just know that he's going to kill it!! I really, really, really, really want to see Rydel on it too!! 

I love R5 to the moon and back! (which you all know, because I write about them so much) but they are really worth checking out! They're so funny and really care about their fans the R5Family. Their music (can't forget about the music) is amazing and you can totally jam out to it all the time!

They recently did a mash up of three songs (all covers) in one of their latest concerts and I fell in love with it!



I have also just made my spotify playlist public, which you can check out here!

My fave songs right now are:


See ya'll next time!
Keep your eye out for a food themed collab with Daintyflowersxo coming up!

I've been nominated for three blog awards! 
Thank you to Molly for nominating me for the Sisterhood Of The World Blog Award and to Just Another Girl for nominating me for the Versatile Blogger Award and The Liebster Award (which I have already done and can be viewed here)! I love both of your blogs, thank you again for nominating me!

Lets get into this award post!

2) Answer the ten questions you were asked
3) Nominate another ten bloggers
4) Create ten questions for your nominations to answer

Questions from Molly:


1. What's the last dream you can remember?

The last proper dream I had that I can remember was really strange, It was about R5 (no surprise there)! I was Rocky's girlfriend and they were all on tour and all of my friends were hiding in the house (he gave them the key) on the day that the band came home. I didn't know that they were coming home and there was a party, he proposed and then I woke up! I find it so funny because it was really random and a pretty strange dream!
  
2. Who do you go to when you're down?

I don't go to anyone, I have amazing family and friends that just know when something's wrong. I'm grateful for all of them 

3. If you were to invent something, what would it be?

A time machine.

4. Where do you get fashion inspiration?

From everywhere, I like Vintage (on the Bohemian side) and I love edgy looks! Rydel Lynch also has an awesome fashion sense and I love everything she wears!

5. Do you do things without thinking or think about them first?

It depends

6. When you're not blogging, what are you likely to be doing besides work/school?

Writing! I'm writing a long story and I may call it Upside Down (still not sure) I've blogged about it before here!

7. When did you first decide you wanted to blog?

Last year! I had a blog with my best friend but it's hard to keep up with it when it's two people blogging so we both decided to go solo and help each other out with our blogs! I love her blog and blogging was one of the ways that we connected and grew our friendship!

8. If you could say something to the entire world, what would you say?

Jesus loves you!

9. Do you have any fears?

Spiders, any crawling animal! Heights, the dark you name it haha! I did a post about serious fears a while back here if you want to know more about that side of me :)

You Are Your Own Hero

We all have at least one person that we can count on, to understand how we feel and think and to always be there no matter what. However sometimes they just don't understand and no matter how hard you try to explain, you just fail... No words can get the right message across.

Those are the times where you have to deal with the issue alone. You aren't ever alone and there are people that will always love and care for you but :


There are moments where you just have to trust yourself and there are some things you have to do alone. You can't expect people around you (even those that are close to you) to automatically understand what you are thinking and feeling. It can be hard for them too, to watch someone close to them fall to pieces. You may find yourself taking whatever is bothering you out on them. Chances are that they do not understand why you are behaving in that way and think you have changed and that you're not who you were before.

You know that you haven't changed. You know that you're still the same person! You have to let go of the negative feelings that are controlling the way you think and act. Replace them with the good memories that you know that you posses. The good things in your life that are still there. They're just hiding in the shadows. Only you can lead them back to the light.

Let go of the people that don't allow you to smile. You don't need their negativity! Surround yourself with the people that make you laugh on a miserable day. Take a new day as a new chance. Every new day is a new chance! Admit to your faults and fix them. Apologise to the people you have hurt and move on. You deserve to be happy. You can be happy, you just have to get up and change what needs to be changed. It's difficult but it's worth it.



Don't take notice of what people think or say. Don't pay attention to what they are doing. Focus on you:



If you have hope, you have happiness. You have to have hope, have faith and look on the brighter side. It's not cool to be a pessimist and it's not right to have a heart of stone. Being optimistic will improve your mood and the mood of everyone around you.


Always, always, always!!!:


I believe in you!
