coconut & almond pancakes
10 Augneed: *for four pancakes
2 tbsp coconut oil2 eggs
1/4 cup water (sparkling water is best)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup of almond flour
Vanilla Extract – optional but yummy!
recommended toppings:
butter
agave syrup
almond butter
tool-kit:
spatula
mixing bowl
measuring cup & spoon
whisk
non-stick pan
make:
heat the non-stick pan on low-med heat.
add warm coconut oil to the mixing bowl, add the eggs and whisk.
pour in the sparkling water and salt into the bowl and whisk it all together.
add vanilla extract.
add the almond flour to the wet ingredients and mix well with a fork making sure there are no lumps in the batter. add more water if the batter seems too thick and gloopy.
when your pan is warm, pour 1/4 of the mixture onto the pan. the pancakes should be about 5 inches in diameter. don’t overcook them as they can be very easily overdone.
when the edges have set and begin to turn golden brown, carefully flip the cake over using a large spatula. cook for 1-2 more minutes. remove from heat and repeat steps 6 and 7 for the remainder of the batter.
add toppings as desired- i think coconut shavings and a little dark chocolate are pretty amazing but for a healthier option try almond butter and leave out the chocolate. however, if like me, you LOVE chocolate, aim for 85% cocoa solids.
eat and enjoy 🙂
a healthy delicious snack on the go- no excuses

s is for strategy
26 Junstrategy (Greek “στρατηγία”—stratēgia, “art of troop leader; office of general, command, generalship”[1]) is a high level plan to achieve one or more goals under conditions of uncertainty.
strategy is important because the resources available to achieve these goals are usually limited.
strategy is also about attaining and maintaining a position of advantage over adversaries through the successive exploitation of known or emergent possibilities rather than committing to any specific fixed plan designed at the outset.
i was researching the meaning of the word strategy for my assignment about a new little venture called gym bunny and this caught my eye:
strategy helps you decide what matters most- and where to focus your scarce resources for maximum impact

holidays
9 Junjust back from a week in ibiza with the ladies and already thinking i need a break again- weirdly spotted yellow ball in the sky in ireland has already give me my annual dose of sunburn and my body is already in vitamin d hibernation mode in case it all ends too soon…
have been looking into the following destinations for a week in the sun but not decided as of yet:
croatia
san sebastian
menorca
biarritz
malta
zakynthos
or none of the above and save for NYC??? AGH to win the euromillions……
any suggestions? 🙂
make-up must-haves…buy it NOW NOW NOW!
20 Mayi love these so much that i want to share it with the girlie world:
Chanel ‘Perfection Lumiere’
and
Smashbox ‘Artificial light’
maybe it’s totally against the chanel or smashbox mantra, but what i find works is this:
pump one splodge of artificial light onto the back of your hand, followed by a pump of the foundation and mix the two togther. i actually use my hands/fingers to apply as i feel i use less product and i bring it down just under my chin and neckline to give an extra glow over my foundation.
i also recommend to start with a nice clean face, apply your regular moisturiser, eye-cream and then wait a minute or two before applying your primer, then apply your magic mix as suggested above and boom-
a natural dewy base which lasts probably half the day- let’s be honest here, unless you cake your face in make-up it will not stay put all day, especially if, like me, you’re usually running around, inside and outside into and out of air-con, heating and frizz inducing irish weather.
give it a try and let me know how you get on- it works for my freckly but not super duper pale combination to dry/oily depending on it’s mood skin 🙂
give yourself a treat before your holidays xx
