Welcome to my secret garden

I am slowly but surely growing my flower crown collection :3. 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this one from H&M, the roses are a perfect size for my face. 

Ooey Gooey Goodness

Woke up bright and early to make up brunch for me and my man.  I was feeling some runny yolk and I just ran with it :)  Had some of these ingredients in my fridge already, and just had to pop out to the grocery store for some bread.  #foodporn



Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Open Sandwich Topped with Egg

Ingredients: 

Dill seasoned smoked salmon (so incredibly delicious!!)

Cream cheese 

Bread of your choosing (I used light rye) 

Eggs

Missing: some spring mix salad that I ended up throwing in 

2 tricks to keep your yolk runny: 1) PREHEAT your pan!!, and 2) use a good non-stick pan . Get it really hot before you crack your egg in so that the egg white cooks without really affecting the insides, and the non-stick pan will help ensure that you don't pop the yolk before you want to.  

A healthy and hearty way to kick off my Saturday :)

Second Week of Classes

Study break is in order~

Messy hair, don't care

Doing one's hair can sometimes be a little but of a hassle (not to mention an arm workout), but a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do ;). So to have 2 hairstyles for the price and effort of one is a bonus ! I like to curl my hair with a straightener for tighter and more voluminous curls, then sleep on it for looser and relaxed waves. I find that with a straightener, my hair holds its curl overnight a lot better. Although a little extra hairspray also wouldn't hurt. :P

Green Smoothies

HeyHey!
how is everybody ? For the month of July, I've been trying to incorporate green smoothies into my diet. I prep what I can the night before (aka wash the greens and wash+wash fruit that won't ozidize overnight). That way I only have to wake up about 15 mins earlier than usual to finish the remaining fruit and blend everything together. I find that this makes it harder to skip...hey!  a girl's gotta get her beauty sleep =P.  At the beginning, I followed simplegreensmoothie's recipes to figure out what I liked and didn't like. After getting a feel for it....you can make up your own !

This was the one I had this morning -- blueberry, banana, avocado, spinach and soy milk. Paired with toast and nutella, this morning was bliss. :)

Have you gone green yet?

Tangerines and Tulips

Bonjour! Comment ca va? 

Today was horrendously hot outside, but since I was working inside all day, decided to throw on a comfy knit with a pair of loose floral shorts to seal the deal. I'm loving the baggy top + loose bottoms combo because I frankly can't be bothered with tight clothing in the summer haha. 

FOTD:
Eyeliner: MUFE Aqua Eyes - 01
Mascara: Maybelline Colossal
Foundation: Marcelle Hydra-C Radiance + Lancome Renergie Lift Makeup

After falling in love with the tv series, my friend kindly lent me the first book. It's long, but I'm working through it!!
