Hey girls and guys,
Welcome back to my blog, I hope you are having a fabulous day and enjoying the gorgeous sunshine. I am just back from a lovely day in Bray where I enjoyed a cold cider, some lovely lunch and of course a '99 ice cream.
In today's post I bring a few healthy breakfast ideas to you to help brighten up your morning. It is especially nice to try new meals in the summer months as fruit is in season and fresher than ever!
I would consider myself to be relatively healthy. I most certainly get my recommended 5 a day, althought I've read recently we should be having up to 10 a day. As breakfast is my favourite meal of the day I like to treat myself to a fruit salad, poached eggs, a smoothie or some banana pancakes instead of boring old porridge.
To start off I am going to tell you about what I had for breakfast this morning and it was delicious. I had banana pancakes, they contain no flour and are so yummy. I had seen these before but have no idea why it took me so long to try them. They are so simple and quick to make and contain two ingredients that almost everyone has lying around their house.
Here is a look at the gorgeous pancakes I made this morning I just topped them off with some fat free
blueberry yogurt and some fresh strawberries. It was so tasty and filling.
The recipe for these banana pancakes is so simple. All it is, is a mashed up banana with two eggs blended throughout. I also added some oats, some chia seeds and a tiny sprinkle of sugar. I mixed it all together and fried it up. Simple right. Then I added a big cup of cranberry green tea and that was my yummy breakfast.
Then next breakfast I like to have is also very quick and simple. I really enjoy fresh berries, not only because they are tasty but they speed up your metabolism which burns calories faster but they
also are rich in anti-oxidants.
My favourite yogurt at the moment is Greek style and I especially love the blueberry flavour.
Another healthy breakfast option that I love are smoothies. It is the exact same are above but all I do is add it to a food blender, add a banana and blend that baby up... Beautiful smoothie that will keep you fuller for longer. I also like to have one of my banana oat and peanubutter muffins with this.
My peanut butter banana muffins are to die for and the added bonus is they contain no carbs. Big thumbs up from me. They are also so simple to make. I like to have them one their own as a snack, with a smoothie for breakfast or simply with fruit for breakfast.
They are so easy to make all you will need is
~ two bananas
~ two eggs & one egg white
~ one table spoon of natural peanutbutter
~ one tea spoon of baking soda
~ two and a half tea spoons of sugar
~ one cup of organic oats.
Simply add all the ingredients to a big mixing bowl, blend together with a hand mixer until it looks like a smooth batter, place in cupcake holders in a baking tray and place in a preheated oven to 180 degrees until golden brown on top. Aprox 15 mins. I like to add crushed dried banana chips on top or u can add pecan nuts or seeds. This muffin mix is very healthy but so tastly.
The last breakfast option I have for you is simply poached egg on whole grain toast. This is so simple and I love it. I generally have this breakfast on the weekend. All you need to do is bring a pan of water to the boil and drop the egg in. You can either do this from a cup or from the shell, let it cook for about 2 mins and you have the perfect poached eggs.
I really hope you enjoyed this blog post and hope it inspires you to try new breakfasts and be healthier. I will have a video on my YouTube channel (facesbygrace23) real soon on how I get all of these gorgeous breakfasts ready so keep an eye out for that.

Hey girls,
I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying this lovely sunny Monday afternoon!
I also received the shampoo for brunette andblondes but am yet to try the brunette out. I will be giving the blonde to a friend to try out.
The next thing I received was the dry shampoos from batiste and they are one of my favourite products this month. I have previously owned this product but it has been some years since I tried it, I absolutely love it. It smells amazing and leaves the hair looking and feeling as fresh as if it had been washed. I like to use this product every other day when I don't shampoo my hair. It just makes it feel fresh but also adds volume as allows me to style my hair better. I am really keen to try the new xxl volume powder from batiste so hopefully there will be a blog post on that soon!!!
Next product I am raving about is the pearl drops toothpaste. I have used this toothpaste in the past and loved it and am loving it now too. I generally use my Colgate toothpaste once a day and my pearl drops the other time I brush my teeth. It takes some time for the difference to be seen but I can definitely see it already. I am a coffee and tea addict so this product is a must have for me.
The last products I received were the lip balms from Malibu. They have an SPF of 30 which is huge for lip balms, 15 is the norm most of the time. I love how these bad boys smell and they are so calming and moisturising on the lips. Definite must have for the summer and handy for your beach bag, handbag or just to throw in your pocket.
A big thumbs up to TP whelehan for the awesome products, they are amazing and so affordable. I would recommend you head straight to your nearest penny's and pick some of these bargains up, you won't be disappointed.

Today I wanted to blog about some really nice products I recently received from a company called TP Whelehan. I received some beautiful stuff which can all be purchased from Penny's/ Primark and are all so affordable.
The first product I would like to mention is the shampoo I am currently loving and using, it is the Moroccan Argan Oil shampoo and conditioner. Not only does it smell amazing, it also leaves the hair so soft, manageable and sleek. I have been using the pair every other day this month and will definitely be repurchasing them.

The two together retail at an unbelievable €3, sure you can't go wrong really.
