Finding ways to eat easy, yet nutritious food ever

Finding ways to eat easy, yet nutritious food every day isn't always fun.

Both Hubby & I work full time, & I'm currently studying as well - so a good slow-cooker recipe is always a win!

This is a lighter, healthier casserole version of a butter chicken curry. Easy to adapt to use what you have in your fridge/pantry, & easy to dial back or amp up the heat depending on your palate.

PLUS, it makes use of a top ingredient - the @cloverwaybetter rich, nutritious Double Cream Plain Yoghurt. A healthier option to all those heavy creams & oils, without compromising on flavour!

INGREDIENTS:-
Dash of olive oil to line your slow-cooker
1 x onion
Garlic (I used 2 heaped tsp because I LOVE garlic)
4 x chicken breasts, chopped up
1 x can lite coconut milk
1 x sachet butter chicken spice blend
Curry powder of choice (+- 1 tbs)
Garam masala (+- 1 tbs)
1 x sachet tomato paste
Salt to taste
@cloverwaybetter Double Cream Plain Yoghurt (+- 6-8 heaped tbs)
Butter

METHOD:-
Add oil to your slow cooker, & add in sliced onion & crushed garlic.
Chop chicken & add.
Whisk the coconut milk, spices, tomato paste & salt in a bowl/jug, & pour over chicken.
Add Double Cream Plain Yoghurt, & mix.
Slice a few slivers of butter & add to the top of the mix.
Place lid on slow cooker & turn on low.
Cook for 4-5 hours.
Serve with rice & fresh coriander.

Serves 4

Last year, @pixibeauty were kind enough to send me their Vitamin-C Capsule Care.

Being the avid lover of Vitamin C products for brightening my skin, I was VERY excited to put these to the test, & I jumped straight in the following morning!

These pretty golden capsules promise to:-
🍋 Revive complexion
🍋 Brighten complexion
🍋 Energise skin
🍋 Nourish skin
🍋 Even out skin tone

Each capsule contains the perfect dose of serum for your face, neck & décolletage - making them perfect for folks who tend to use too much product with a bottle or tube 🤣

The capsules are also biodegradable, travel friendly, not tested on animals & paraben free - plus the capsule shell itself keeps the serum as fresh as possible for maximum potency of the active ingredients.

I am OBSESSED.

I will most definitely be repurchasing these once I'm finished my current bottle, as I genuinely saw a brightened, more even complexion after just 2 uses 😱 & after a week of using daily, I couldn't believe how beautiful my skin was looking. Clear, even, bright & energised.

Available for purchase in South Africa from various retailers - but my top choice would be @superbalist - R599 for 30 capsules.

TRULAB REVIEW I've been testing out the @trulabza

Over the festive season, @leopardsleap gifted me with a gorgeous @aperolspritzsa themed box of goodies - including their delicious sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir.

This is honestly one of my top picks for bubbly, as the pretty pink liquid is packed with flavours of strawberry, raspberry & citrus - the perfect blend to pair with an aperitif like Aperol.

On a sunny, summer day towards the end of our holiday, we had friends around for a braai - & I whipped us up some Aperol Spritzes!

INGREDIENTS:-

50ml @aperolspritzsa
Good quality sparkling wine (like this beauty from @leopardsleap )
Soda water or sparkling water
Ice
Orange for garnish

METHOD:-
In an ice filled wine glass, add your double shot of @aperolspritzsa .
Add equal amounts of sparkling wine & soda water.
Garnish with an orange slice (I used the beautiful dehydrated orange slices gifted in the box)

ENJOY!

*DISCLAIMER - alcohol is not for sale to persons under the age of 18*

I was fortunate enough to receive some really incredible skincare through press drops from brands lately.

Over the next few weeks I'll be catching you up on some overdue reviews.

Today, let's chat @avene 💦

I received a package containing the Avene Cleanance Comedomed, the Cleanance Hydra & the Cleanance Mask. These products are designed to target skin skin that has increased oil production, breakouts & clogged pores - something many of us suffer with during the summer months.

Cleanance Comedomend - 30ml R364.95
A lightweight, non-comedogenic serum that is suitable for all skin types, & is designed to address the root cause of acne & breakouts. This serum contains retinaldehyde (promotes cellular turnover, reduces formation of comedones (small bumps), blackheads & whiteheads.
I have used this serum before & absolutely love it. It's so lightweight that it's the perfect summer product, & as soon as I start finding little bumps on my skin, small breakouts or my pores look clogged, I use this for a couple of days - that's how quickly it works for me! I also love how gentle it is, as products for breakouts usually irritate my skin.

Cleanance Hydra - 40ml R279.95
A soothing moisturiser that is extremely hydrating, this is formulated for use when undergoing acne treatments that dry out your skin. This moisturiser contains a blend of the famous Avène Thermal Spring Water, glycerin & shea butter, replenishing the skin's moisture & maintaining a healthy skin barrier.
I loved this for use with the serum, but it works so well when using my retinol night serum too, as that can leave my skin feeling a bit tight & dry.

Cleanance Mask - 50ml R265
A detoxifying clay mask infused with comedoclastin technology, this mask helps to eliminate excess oil, unclog pores & reduce inflammation. I used this during December, when I wasn't as strict with my self-care as I usually am (due to stress). It cleared up breakouts & left my skin feeling clean and calm - an absolute must have if you're prone to breakouts!

I decided that I've been MIA for long enough (& ha

I decided that I've been MIA for long enough (& have enough new followers) that I thought I'd do a little catch up & a reintroduction.

From around the middle of December we had an extremely stressful & emotionally draining time where a family member became seriously ill, & eventually passed away in the first week of January.

Since then I've felt sad, anxious & uninspired - & I never post when I'm feeling in a space like this. I hate pumping out inauthentic content where I'm posting just for the sake of it - especially if I have to be on camera.

I'm slowly getting back into my routine (self-care, healthy eating & just our daily routines in general were so out of whack), & feeling much more myself!

So - if you're new here (or if you just haven't seen me pop up in your feed for a while), here are some facts about me!

💞 I'm 37 years old (38 in July) & while I had a bit of an existential crisis turning 30, I'm actually pretty calm about the impending FOUR ZERO.

💞 I'm Harry Potter crazy - watching the movies is my best way to calm my anxiety & relax.

💞 According to my husband I 'bop' when I'm eating something I like - I don't even know I'm doing it 🤣.

💞 If something is unicorn or birthday cake flavoured - you can bet your bottom dollar I'm going to try it out - I'm basically a kid in an adult's body.

💞 I am INCREDIBLY shy, & a total introvert - I actually suffer from social anxiety (& have been diagnosed with anxiety that I take medication for) BUT once I've let you in & I know you well, I'm completely relaxed & you'd never guess I'm a shy person. I don't have a big circle of friends, but the ones I have are gold - quality over quantity.

💞 If I do for some reason seem confident & extroverted when meeting new people - it's an act. I've learned over the years that the best way to appear confident when you don't feel it is to act confident. Eventually the act will fade away, the anxiety will disappear & you'll feel relaxed & genuinely confident!

💞 We have no kiddies (I had a hysterectomy in early 2022), but I have 2 fur-kiddies who are my everything!

Tell me something about you in the comments below!
