What do you think about this new makeup trend?

Sandwich cookie
In the morning I was experimenting with a little of the ingredients I had left at work for breakfast. I made my typical chocolate paste out of unsweetened chocolate, stevia and coconut milk. I am actually realizing slowly by trial and error that coconut is just NOT good for me. My stomach reacts poorly no matter what it is - coconut oil, coconut flakes or milk. Not repurchasing again! Anyway, could me replaced by any other unsweetened milk (soy is my favorite). Then I took two slices of brown rice cakes and spread the choco paste in between them! Genius! I got an awesome sandwich cookie that is crispy, fresh, sweet and filling at the same time! Love

Lifestyle
Lately all I've been eating is vegetables and fruits nonstop! Like practically munching on them! No particular food during the day except carrots, zucchini, celery, avocado, apples, banana and cucumber. Not sure why exactly this is all my body craves but I can't complain. Fruits and veggies make you feel fuller and less hungry due to the amounts of fiber they consist of. Amazing trick! Hungry? Get these mini carrots (preferably organic - they taste better!) and dip them into hummus for fun if you like. Craving sweets? Get a pear, cut it into small pieces and eat it with a fork. It gives your mind an idea of a dessert since you're actually using kitchen supplies but at the same time all you're eating is healthy ))
My next step to a healthy stomach is ground ginger! Buying it tonight

Colorful lunch
Great healthy foods to brighten up the freezing cold!
I buy this hummus every time I visit Trader Joe's, which is at least once in two weeks. It comes as a quartet out of four different flavors and all of them are made out of natural organic ingredients. I love dipping celery sticks and carrots in it, as well as zucchini or cut peppers. Of course it is also a great snack with chips that I can't have (( but I use rice cakes instead.

My only cocktail forever
If you want to get tipsy without doing too much harm to your body;
If you don't want to be hangover the next day after having fun;
If you don't want to consume too many calories while having cocktails;
If you don't want to be swollen like a balloon the morning after;
Then have my favorite cocktail of all times! I've tested it for a few times already.
It's pure vodka with sparkling seltzer water! No ice, no nothing! You could add a piece of lime for some flavor if you like. Just a plain colorless sugar-free drink that will keep you feeling good into the next day. Guarantee! No headaches, no dry mouth, no irritation, nothing! Try it for yourself the next time you go out. And rule number one - no mixing!
Enjoy your youth!

Something new
So I must grocery shop today because I'm out of pretty much everything!)) No chocolate, no coconut, no bananas... I had to make something to satisfy my sweet tooth with a cup of tea, and all ingredients I could reach for in my drawers were applesauce, coconut oil, gluten-free flour, eggs and spices. So I just combined all of these together as so:
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup all purpose gluten-free flour
1 egg
1 teaspoon stevia
1/4 cup coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
Mixed it all together till smooth and baked for 30 minutes in 350 degrees.
P.S. Came out DELICIOUS!!!

My own milk chocolate
Hey! ))
So I've been craving chocolate lately and end up making it almost every day. It's very quick and much healthier than any store version out there. All you need is 2oz of unsweetened 100% chocolate, 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil, 1/4 cup of soy or any other dairy free milk and 3 packs of stevia.
Warm up milk with chocolate squares in the microwave or on the stove (your choice) and mix them into a thick light brown paste. Add other ingredients in and put in the fridge for 5-10 minutes. You get a lovely thick milk chocolate paste. You could add nuts to it if you like or coconut flakes.
Btw, I realized recently that I have a nut allergy as well (ugh!) that shows up on my skin so I am avoiding them as much as possible. If you don't then indulge! ))
Enjoy!
