Healthy Chicken and Quinoa Salad
This has fast become my all time favourite dinner to create, I absolutely adore it! You may think its strange because it is only a salad, but truly it tastes divine and its the most filling salad I have ever had.
Ingredients
Quinoa
Feta
Salad Leaves
Pepper
Cucumber
Avocado
Chicken (I used Fillets this time but much prefer Breasts *giggles*)
Olives
A dressing
I fry my chicken in coconut oil, and then wash the salad and chop the other veggies. The avocado is my favourite because it has such a lovely taste and adds some healthy fats into the salad, and keeps me going for longer. There isn't much to this recipe it's pretty self explanatory when you look at the ingredients. Obviously if you use the quinoa that requires cooking then you must do this before adding it to the salad, but I cheat and just use a Jamie Oliver microwave pack, which is probably far less healthy but makes the cooking process ten times quicker. The pack also contains Buckwheat which I am a huge fan of.
Let me know if you create this salad, I really love it!

Duty Free Pick-Up's
What is going on holiday without having a stop and a splurge in Duty Free? I am the biggest culprit for spending too much money before my holiday has actually begun, but sometimes you just cannot ignore the bargains! My first purchase was MAC Chilli Lipstick which is a matte finish. It is a dull toned red which is much more wearable than say Ruby Woo, and it is definitely one of the more comfortable reds. Initially I did want to pick up more than just this one lipstick, but the Duty Free shop was closing so I just had to pick up the one.
We wanted to have a look in JD as well, since the Duty Free prices are just so much more reasonable. My lovely boyfriend bought me a pair of trainers and this lovely floral crop top for the gym. The trainers are the Nike Flex Trainer 5 Training Shoes, and I am absolutely in love with them. They are the most comfortable trainers I have ever owned, and they go with all my gym outfits which is brilliant since before I was going to the gym in blue leggings and pink trainers (not a good look I assure you). The crop top was from a brand called Supply and Demand which I hadn't actually heard of, but all of their stuff was incredibly fashionable and feminine which is something hard to find in gym gear. I was very tempted to the matching bottoms but they didn't have the full length ones in stock so I left those behind.
What are your favourite things to pick up at Duty Free?

A Break in Paradise
So I have just come back from the most relaxing, paradise-like holiday I have ever been on, and I wanted to share some of my pictures with you.
I went to a small resort in Majorca called Camp De Mar with my boyfriend, and we stayed at the Grupotel Playa Camp De Mar, which is an adults only hotel. It is the most friendly hotel I have ever stayed at, and the majority of the guests were over 40, but this was perfect for us as we didn't want to have a loud holiday. The food was absolutely delightful, I'm pretty sure I put on a stone just from eating so much food, but there was so much choice and I wanted to try everything. At breakfast time there was a whole table of Smoked Salmon, Cava and other fancy things that you just wouldn't expect, and at dinner there was a massive chocolate fountain amongst other things. The food was different everyday which meant we didn't get bored once.
We spent every single day just lying on sunbeds and lounging around, not bothering to explore, and this made it the most relaxing break. We've said that when we return (hopefully next year), we will take more time out to explore, but it's just so overwhelming being able to stare at the sea and have warm sunshine beating down on you, we really didn't want to move.
I personally think that Camp De Mar was like a small tropical island, you'd never think it was on Majorca, or even so close to a place like Magaluf. If you're looking for a getaway where you can just lie around all day and relax then I cannot recommend Camp De Mar enough! Hopefully you can see from the following pictures just how beautiful it truly was.

The Perfect Post Workout Protein Ball
I'll admit, my protein balls do not look like the most delicious things on the planet, but trust me, they taste far better than they look. I created these after searching for hours and hours for the perfect protein ball recipe which I had all the ingredients for, and there just wasn't one. Therefore I decided to have a crack at making my own, and I won't lie, I am quite impressed with the turnout. These make a lovely pre or post workout snack, and definitely satisfy any sweet cravings.
Ingredients
- 2 Scoops of Purition Chocolate Protein Powder
- 4 tbs Meridian Peanut butter
- 2 tbs cacao powder
- 2 tbs Maple Syrup (can use Agave Nectar)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
