Gluten free goodies

2 comments
I remember when I was diagnosed (almost 8 years ago) I thought I wasn't going to be able to eat anything but as the years pass I honestly don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. It's like my mind is telling me not to even think about foods that I can no longer eat. It's propabably the fact that I get really ill if I accidently eat gluten; I feel like I'm going to pass out, get severe cramps and vomit all within one hour of eating gluten, then for the next week I feel drained. These are some of my favourite gluten free snacks/foods, as you can see having CoeliacDisease doesn't mean you are totally deprived of treats and snacks. 


 
9 bar in peanut, original & flax

Lidl mixed & pistachio nuts


Tilda microwave brown rice & quinoa (they have other ones that are gf)

Cheese is always a great snack, my favourite crackers to have with cheese are: mrs crimbles cheese crackers, nairns gf oatcakes, ds gf crispbread & mrs crimbles apple rice cakes.


Udis granola in cranberry & walnut (they have other flavours)

 
Natural yogurt is always great to have in the fridge as it's lovely with fruit & granola


Lidl have an amazing range of dark chocolate

 

Homemade popcorn is a brilliant snack, here's my favourite recipe (here)

This Amy's kitchen is the only tinned soup I will eat now - I use the cream if mushroom to make pasta bake.


I always have a tin of chickpeas in my cupboard as fresh hummus is delicious!


Finally gf pasta is quick and easy to make for a meal.

What's your favourite gluten free snacks or meals?

  • Sanex hypo-allergenic - I love this brand of shower gels and I will always repurchase them as The Body Shop no longer make their earth lovers range which used to be my favourite.
  • Avene Eau Thermale Thermal Water Spray - this is a great product to have if you suffer from allergies as it calms your skin and is also great for the warmer weather to feel refreshed.
  • Superdrug tea tree nose strips  - these work amazingly well and leave my skin feeling moisturised afterwords whereas previous kinds I've used left my nose area really dry.
  • Garnier micellar cleansing water - another product that I will always repurchase as it's a great price and works well.
  • Pure age defiance wipes - these are the only thing on this empties list that I will not be repurchasing. Wipes in general are not great for your skin but if I was to buy wipes again I would prefer a more natural alternitive.
  • VO5 Bedazzling Oil Heat Protect Spray  - this is the only heat protector I use now as the infused oil helps to tame my frizz.

Lip balm stains...

2 comments


 



1 Revlon colorburst balm stain in 040 Rendevous - I can never find this in store to buy a back up as it's my favourite spring summer colour.
2 Revlon colorburst balm stain in 001 Honey  - this one is my every day colour I would wear to work.
5 Revlon colorburst matte balm in 205 elusive - as it is matte my lips have to be really nourished to use it.
8 Rimmel colour rush balm in keep mauving (I think it's this colour as the packaging has wore off)

As you can see the Revlon stains are my favourite brand to use but I always like trying new ones, has anyone used the clinique chubby sticks? This type of lip product is quite soft they tend to loose their shape at the nib so my genious idea (so I thought) was to sharpen them with the chunky side of my beauty pencil sharpener, it suprisingly works really well and makes them look like new. Has anyone else tried this?

What's your favourite balm stains?

Irish Blogger Conference day out & goodie bag...

Leave a Comment

On the 30th of April I travelled to Dublin to attend the Irish Bloggers conference which took place in the Radisson on Golden Lane Dublin. It was such a great day full of amazing inspirational speakers. The main message of the day was to be yourself, do what you love and follow your dreams:)

As well as a brilliant day full of infulential speakers we all received a goodie bag filled with delightful beauty and skincare items.




This is a fuschia Dramatise eyeshadow palette, I've swatched a few colours and they have really good pigment.












Vichy liftactiv supreme sample in dry and normal skin


Delare samples: tonifying lotion, cleansing milk, anti-wrinkle cream, skin meditation and spf 30 anti-wrinkle sun lotion.


B.O.N natural oils liquid gold - very excited to use this as I've just run out of my trilogy rosehip oil.


Welda Oat replenishing shampoo and conditioner sample

Bewley's special collection - fresh coffee - 100% Arabica coffee


Other things included were:
Propercorn coconut and vanilla popcorn, delicious (already repurchased)
A evoke nail file which always come in handy
A natural pomegrante drink (which I drunk before I took the pic)
A few vouchers for money off in shopping centres etc.

As you can see we were spoilt, have you tried any of these products?
