Healthy No Carb Meals

Image
 Spiralized Veggies Spiralized Veggies, seem to be the new health trend of this summer 2016. They can replicate the texture of pasta however without consuming Carbohydrates and eating more vegetables. So I decided i'd give this a try! As a result I didn'd find them bad! Theyre great if you stir fry them for 5 minutes, then add pesto and garlic for flavour. Cook them in garlic then add the pesto. You can add some cheese for a source of Calcium. This meal is high in Vitamins, especially A and low in Carbs so if your planning on doing exercise or sport make sure to put in a source of Carbohydrates, otherwise its not important to have it. As a source of Protein you can throw in cut up ham or chicken, low fat meats. As this is a new trend, many people are coming up with new creative ideas, for example, this one which I found on food network on snapchat. Basically what they have done is spiralized Zucchini which you can do yourself with a spiralizer eg from Kenwood or it ...

Festival Necessities

Image
Hey Guys, SeenByGrean here and since so many festivals such as Longitude are coming up this summer there are a few key things that are needed for a key festival look! A Waterproof Poncho - these raincoats not only keep you dry but they also give you that easily accomplish-able festival look. These coats can be purchased on Boohoo for only 4 euro! They come in both pink and yellow. They work great if you've a pair of boots on. Imagine, even when its raining you'll still look the part! Chunky Coin Necklace-   These necklaces ultimately give you a look of 'effort' without even trying. As seen on Beyonce it is fair to say that these are in fashion! I found a replica to Beyonce's necklace on Boohoo for 12 euro in silver. Pennys/Primark also has them in stock as well as other simple but stunning nedcklaces. These necklaces shouldn't be worn if your wearing a top that covers your shoulder blades as it completely covers your tshirt. It is great if your wea...

Quay Sunglasses

Image
Hey Guys, SeenByGrean here and today I purchased a pair of Quay Sunglasses and let me just say.... I've never been happier! I've wanted Quay sunglasses for so long and I finally have them. This pair of sunglasses are called 'Cherry Bomb' in rose gold at a price of 45 euros. I purchased them in topshop but you can purchase them on their website. As like many i'm very apprehensive when it comes to purchasing sunglasses as I always crack them or they stretch but that has not happened. These glasses are stiff and are barely flexible which decreases the chance of them breaking. Their sunglasses are unique and different people have different opinions towards them so make sure to look at their website! By the way guys there will be a Boohoo Haul this week so make sure to stay tuned.                                 ...

Recent Makeup purchases- Dislike or Like?

Image
 Hey guys, SeenByGrean here and it's finally my summer holidays! Hence the reason it has been so long since I've had a blog post! Stay posted as later on I will be uploading a video of all my purchases (a Haul) from various shops. The first product I'm going to review is the Maybelline Dream Bronze BB cream. This BB cream is my favourite! It covers all your flaws without looking caked or even that you have makeup on! It also gives you a glow, a bronzed glow! Wearing a BB cream is so much better for your skin, it makes sure that your pores aren't blocked. This BB cream also has a SPF of 25 so you can wear it during a sunny day in Ireland and you don't have to worry about burning!. This BB cream comes in a pale colour, which allows you to put it on your face as a pace for bronzer/powder. The BB cream costs 9 euros. Sleek makeup has only recently come to Ireland as is loved by many so the first product that I bought from them is an Illuminator. I purchased ...

bBold Spray Self Tan Review

Image
 Hey Guys, SeenByGrean here, I know its been a long time but I've been doing my final exams before the summer! What do you need the most when the sun is shining and your forced to wear shorts? A golden tan! And that is why I am reviewing this product that I recently bought; 'bBold Self Tan'. The product is one of my favourite tans as it's so easy to apply as it's like applying suncream! I'm someone who struggles to put tan on their back but with this its so easy and less hassle. You just spray and rub, Simple! Before applying the tan I usually exfoliate with a glove and scrub the dry areas, for example your knees and elbows for me as the tan can get stuck there. I then apply some moisturiser and let that soak in before applying the tan with a mitt. The tan has a colour when your putting it on, so your left with a mild tan already. I do advice washing it off the day after or else if it rains you'll have a flood of tan! Trust me it happened! It lasts ...
