Back to school: 3 Healthy meals your children will love!

Hi all,
Here's a post on easy and healthy meals that can be prepared and packed as lunch for children and pre-teens. You can also try them too, they are easy to prepare and delish!

Make sure your child takes a fruit and vegetable daily. You should too.


1. Chicken sandwich: Grill one ready made chicken patty, rub a little unsalted butter or greek yoghurt on  sweet brown bread, toast.
 lay a large leaf of cucumber on the bread, put the chicken patty, lay another cucumber leaf in top, add slices of tomato and onion if your children like them (mine dont) and cover with another slice of toast.
There goes your first meal.


2. Sweet potato porridge
Wash sweet potato thoroughly, boil with the skin on so it doesn't get too soft.
After cooking, blanch in cool water and remove skin
set aside to cool completely

Boil roughly ground pepper till its almost dry, add seasoning, sliced onions, some fish, crayfish (whatever you like) and a little oil.

Cut your cooled, boiled potatoes into cubes and mix with the pepper while still on fire. Add some shredded ugwu (pumpkin leaves) and leave to simmer for about 2 minutes.

3. Boil a few slices of yam, set aside to cool
Spice eggs (salt, pepper, and whatever else you wish)
to make the meal more interesting, use cookie cutters to cut different shapes from the yam, if you have them.

Put 2 teaspoons of oil in a non stick fry pan, put the yam slices and pour 3/4 of the egg mixture over them, turn each slice over after a few seconds and pour in the remaining eggs.
Keep turning until egg is completely cooked. Garnish with slices of carrot and cabbage

Product review: Profusion matte lipstick

Hello

I just took stock of some products for my beauty store and decided to test a few, one of which is the Profusion matte lipstick in the shade FERARI RED!


It's a fiery warm red number that's definitely going to get any girl noticed, fast!

Here's a swatch.
While I won't say this lippie is totally matte, it actually isn't (it's not flat drying which i think is a plus considering the season we are in), It's really gorgeous and would look much more lovely on fair skinned ladies. Plus it has a very nice fruity smell and is long lasting and well pigmented

Here's me wearing it and posing in front of my wrongly placed Marilyn Munroe quote (i'll get someone to stick it right for me next time.lol)

And this is about 3 hours later, while I was training some beautiful ladies on personal makeup and skincare.


One doughnut, a cup of juice, a long training and 5.5 hours later (if you want to fry pancake please there's enough oil to spare on this face! lol)

My verdict.

I Like it. 
I like the colour, I like the feel, it goes on smoothly and doesn't dry me out. I should say though that i applied a little gloss before using it. I'll try it without gloss some other time and give you an update.
And It's not expensive buy it and other shades at N1500 here and let me know what you think.


Anyone tried the Profusion matte lippie range?

Nigerian bridal makeup alert: Yetunde!

Hi y'all
About 5 years ago, in Nov 2010, I was blessed to be the MUA for a wedding and now, her younger sister's MUA as well.
Yetunde is a no nonsense young woman who knows what she wants and is not afraid to ask for it. But under all the toughness lies a very friendly heart.
I had fun doing the first part. And then we got into a rush. But hey, my assistants and I managed to pull it off somehow though I couldn't get a single picture of her in her wedding dress.

Here are some of the pictures. Her elder sis couldn't resist another touch from us. lol
