The Fruit Pudding! Another Kind of Breakfast

Whenever fresh fruit start popping up, I'm the first one to go on a fruit diet. I love waking up and eating some fruity goodness!What I usually do is a smoothie.
Now I know that might not be for everyone, some need a more hearty breakfast, or at least a thicker texture. But have no fear,for that is possible!

Here's what you need:

I used: Mango, Papaya,Pears,Cranberries,Grapes And Buckthorn.

These are all packed with vitamins and other goodness that your body will thank you so much for!
It's part of the reason I love eating them, it's a total health boost!

What to do:

Cut them into pieces, like so

Then, just blend away!  

You'll end up with the yummiest fruit paste!

The cranberries and the buckthorn are known to not be the sweetest of fruits ( also because of their high Vitamin C content) so you might wanna add a bit of sugar. Try cane or Muscovado sugar. They're a bit healthier variations.

Also be careful with the Papaya! When peeling it, peel a thick layer along with the skin ( approx an inch) , because if not, you will be left with a bitter taste.


Now just grab a spoon and enjoy! And I hope you feel your health levels rising!

Montagne Jeunesse Very Berry Mask

It's time to put a face mask on again and this time, it's full of Cranberries and Blueberries!

Did someone say Cranberry? My favorite fruit to eat,drink and find in anything that goes on my skin?
Well that just made the decision easy!

That was pretty much my reasoning when I got this mask, and I have to say, it was gonna get even better!

I have dry skin and that means being very reluctant to putting anything on it that are not natural oils. But during these past months, I have gathered some trust in Montagne Jeunesse and if any mask was going to touch my face again, it was very likely to be one of theirs.

May I say: It was brilliant!

I opened the little bag only to find a delicious smelling pale pink cream come out. When I put it on, I was sure I was putting yogurt on my face! Don't know if as a kid you had those little colorful yogurts from Danone that you could also stick in the fridge and make ice out of. I grew up calling them Fruchtzwerge but I'm sure each country had their own name.( Here's a picture of it for reference )
In any case,this is what the smooth, lovely, yogurt -like mask looked on:

My biggest surprise was taking it off. Face masks usually leave my skin feeling dry but this one did no such thing! I think Super Yogurt did an amazing job.And if I got half the goodness of cranberry and blueberry, I'm a happy camper!


The Ingredients:

As with any Montagne Jeunesse mask, I really appreciate that the ingredients are either natural or of natural origin, not to mention the very great lack of parabens.
You can see, each ingredient is explained, and the last two are simply colors.


All in all

I will be using this mask again! Also because there's enough in the package for me to use it one more time.
Liked the texture, liked the feel and like the end result!


How about you, what's your favorite mask and have you tried Montagne Jeunesse yet?

August Favorites!

Can't believe it's been another month already! I feel like I just did the July Favorites post and here I am doing the next one. If spring comes just as fast, we will have no problems.

Here is what I've really been liking during this past month. Some I have just discovered and already added them to the 'much liked' pile, some favorites have stayed but I figured it would be useless to post them again, so here is a post of the favorites you have not seen yet.

MeMeMe Beat the Blues Sunbeam Highlighter

As it happens, it was just yesterday that I posted about this product and you can read everything HERE.What I am willing to say again and again is that I've been wearing this a lot ever since I got it and I am incredibly satisfied with the color. I'm a fan of things looking natural on my face and this does a great job with that!

BarryM Aqua Glitter

After the first time I used it, this has instantly become my favorite glitter. It's been an almost permanent resident on my nails. Now you might wonder what it looks like. Wonder no more, as you can admire it in all of its glory right HERE.

Apricot Oil

I cannot begin to describe how perfect this oil works with my skin. My face has been looking better than ever since I started using it. I've stumbled upon it by accident to be honest, and I have not regretted buying it for a moment! You can also read all about the amazing benefits it has, in this POST.

Catrice Mr. Copper's Fields Eye Shadow

I do find this to be the perfect summer shade. A fine copper glow that makes your skin look beautiful, especially with a bit of a tan.If you're curious what it looks like worn on my eyelids, then you're click away HERE.
For me, it is definitely a favorite shade!

Eyeko Fat Brush Mascara

How do I even begin to describe this beautiful thing?  The more I've been using it, the more I started liking it.

First and foremost, it's a Fiber Mascara . Click on the link to see why I am so completely and utterly in love with Fiber .
And when it comes to the Eyeko Fat Brush, it comes with all the things I love AND with the Eyeko Shield. What is that you ask? Only the most clever invention EVER!  And the more I've used it, the more I've managed to get the mascara on flawlessly!
