Healthy Hangover Cure!

Last night, I got drunk. This morning, I was no longer drunk, but I was very tired and feeling the effects of a slight hangover. After playing World of Warcraft for several hours, I had a shower and began to feel little pangs of hunger telling me it was time for my hangover feast.

Now, if you keep up with me on any other social media, you will know that recently I have been changing my diet and eating A LOT healthier, to try and combat lethargy, sickness and battle my hyperglycaemia.

Obviously, no matter how bad I wanted a large big mac meal with extra pickles and a shit-tonne of chips, I couldn't, so the boyfriend and I hit the kitchen and made what was surprisingly one of the best healthy hangover cures I've ever had!

It consisted of turkish bread, stuffed green olives, avocado, ham, cheese, chicken and a little bit of salt and pepper! (I'll put the full recipe down below!)

Imagine, grilled cheese on toast, but healthier.

We smashed the avocado and olives together and made a patte type spread for the base, which we spread onto lightly toasted turkish bread, added our toppers, melted the cheese and BAM! LUNCH IS SERVED!

Next time you have a hangover, and have any of these little tidbits floating around the house, I suggest smashing them all together and seeing what you can come up with!

HEALTHY HANGOVER RECIPE:

You will need:
1 avocado (halved)
1 jar of stuffed green olives
1 loaf of turkish bread
A few pieces of sliced ham
A few pieces of chicken (roast, grilled, sliced, whatever!)
Tasty Cheese (or an easily meltable cheese)
Salt and Pepper

METHOD:

1. Preheat grill to 250 degrees.

2. Slice turkish bread to size, and then in half so the crust is on one side and the flesh is on the other (this will leave you with 2 pieces) and put in toaster on a lower heat.

3. In a small bowl (we used a mortar and pestle) combine half the avocado, and a handful of olives, and squish them together until they form a thicker paste.

4. When toast pops up, spread the avocado/olive paste onto the turkish bread slices as a base.

5. Warm up the chicken if necessary, and add the chicken and ham on top of the paste.

6. Sprinkle cheese over the top.

7. Add toast to grill to allow cheese to melt.

8. Remover carefully from grill, sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve!

YUMMY!

Holy Grail Makeup Remover!

For Christmas last year, I was lucky enough to receive a $200 gift card for Napoleon Cosmetics. I first used it to add two of the Devine Goddess lipsticks (Electra and Niki) to my collection, as well as the Mesmer-eyes mascara. I'm a huge fan of each of those products, and I still had some money left on my gift card which needed to be spent, so I picked up the Napoleon Perdis Auto Pilot Duet Makeup Remover, which had been recommended to me by a friend.

The bottle set me back $39.00AUD, and contains 4.65 fluid ounces (137ml) of product. I will it admit, it was a bit painful to spend that much on a makeup remover, however it is a high end brand and for the amount, the price was fairly reasonable. Plus, it was a gift card purchase, so I technically wasn't paying for it anyway! ;D

I was wearing a full face of makeup today, which included primer, foundation, concealer, two setting powders, two bronzers, blush, eyebrow pencil, eyebrow gel, waterproof mascara, waterproof gel eyeliner, kohl eyeliner, an eyeshadow base, two eyeshadows, lip balm, lipstick and lip gloss.

When I got home I decided to bust out the new remover to see how well it did and let me tell you - this is the best makeup remover I've ever used.

The formula combines oil and water which gently removes all eye makeup, and also includes cucumber extract, fennel extract and aloe vera, which are used to soften moisturise and hydrate the skin.

I applied the smallest amount onto 3 small cotton pads and swiped away all my makeup in just a few seconds. A little bit of product goes a very long way which makes it so much more worth the money - this is going to last me ages!

The absolute highlight of this remover for me is the fact that it doesn't pull, catch or dry the eye area. I have very sensitive eyes and a lot of removers end up making my eyes sting horribly, and a lot of makeup wipes are harmful to the skin under my eyes, but the combination of this remover onto a regular cotton pad added hardly any pressure to my eye area and even running it over my waterline didn't cause any irritation whatsoever.

Go and pick yourself up a sample of this bottled-miracle and test it for yourself! It's my new favourite!

10/10! <3
