Clean Eating & Meal Prep

If you've got Instagram or watch YouTube, you've probably come across the many individuals dedicated to a healthy lifestyle. Because I have always had such a high metabolism, watching what I was eating never really bothered me as I never put any weight on. However, I feel that because of the amount of bad foods I eat, my body has become sluggish. I really want a toned and healthy body for summer and so many people say it mainly relies on diet. 

I have decided that it was about time I became totally strict with my diet. I often exercise, however, I have never really had a "healthy" diet. What is clean eating? clean eating is a lifestyle whereby you cut out any processed foods and extra additives. By doing this you are only eating whole foods that have not been altered in any way.  I have decided to start by trying out two clean meals a day (lunch & dinner). 

After loads and loads of research, I found an easy equation for each meal: Protein + Starch + Vegetable. I looked at each catagory and chose the ingredients I personally liked the most. 

Protein: Chicken & Salmon.

Starch: Quinoa, sweet potato & brown rice.

Vegetable: Broccoli & Carrots.

I have made 12 clean meals in total as I will be having a rest day once a week (My boyfriends mum makes amazing curry, I can't say no!). Have any of you tried clean eating or meal prep like this? If so let me know!! 

Limited Edition Barry M Nail Paint*

Everyone loves Barry M, I have often raved about their products throughout my blogging history. I love nail paints, so when I was sent this Limited Edition Barry M Nail Paint in Promenade, I was extremely excited. This shade is absolutely perfect for summer, it is so gorgeous and romantic. 

On the nails this colour is so bold, as all Barry M products I have tried, a little goes a long long way. Even on the first coat of polish I felt it looked extremely pigmented, only two coats were needed. I really love how quickly this product dries, no waiting for hours and hours. I used this product about 30 mins before bed and woke up with no smudges or marks! In order to give the look a little bit more of an edge I added a black border around the edge with a black nail art pen. 

This product will be hitting Superdrug stores June 4th - July 1st, while stocks last! The best part is, you can choose one free when you spend over £6 on Barry M products! Let me know if you'd like more nail art tutorials! And what you thought about this colour!
