LUSH








LUSH is one of those stores you can't help but fall in love with. I've always been a sucker for bath products and words can't describe how amazing Lush's handmade goodies are. With a wide range to choose from such as bath bombs, lip scrubs, shower gels and jellies, lotions and solid perfumes you will be stuck in the store for hours trying everything. The Lush ladies are really nice and helpful; they show you how to use the products and their persuasive tactics really work! Can't wait to try out a few more of these products soon and start building a collection maybe? Definitely!

Lauren Conrad has always been an amazing fashion icon. Her girly, fresh simple style definitely inspires me. Here are a few looks from her fall 2011 collection available at Kohls along with a few from last year.

lunch
Today I just felt the need to be in the kitchen so I decided to whip up a quick lunch for Dad. Cooking is one of those things I need to do when I'm in the mood or else it will feel like a chore and I won't be too keen to take on the job. Here's my take on the sauteed corn and veg rice; the chicken breast was rather simple to cook because it was seasoned before hand with some pepper salt and other spices so all I had to do was fry the pieces in a medium sized pan. Who doesn't like when their work load is cut in half. <3

Recipe for corn:

  • 1 can corn
  • 1/4 onion chopped
  • 1 teaspoons garlic minced 
  • chives 
  • a little black pepper
  • extra light olive oil (extra light because it's a healthier option but regular works just as well)
This recipe is very simple, just combine all the ingredients in a lightly oiled pan and saute for about 3-5 minutes while stirring occasionally to avoid burning.

Recipe for veg rice:

  • 1 cup rice
  • 2 cans mixed vegetables
  • 1/4 onion chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • chives
  • Adobo
  • extra light olive oil
This is another easy dish to make. Boil the rice until soft. In a large well oiled pan add the onions, chives and garlic. Saute for a few moments. Add the rice along with the mixed vegetables and mix everything together. Add a little Adobo to taste.

& tada. enjoy!
