Glowing Green Smoothie

So this should have probably come before my post on Victoria's Secrets to help with getting the perfect bikini bod... but I only discovered it on the plane home!

Kim Snyder, renowned nutritionist and author of The Beauty Detox Solution swears by this simple recipe for the 'Glowing Green Smoothie' which is energising and beautifying. Ideal for breakfast, it's full of anti-oxidants, essential vitamins, minerals and enzymes and sets you up perfectly for the day.

It's the most delicious smoothie... despite looking rather disgusting and takes literally 2 minutes to make.

Recipe:

1 x apple

1 x pear

1 x banana

1 x lemon

2 x celery sticks

Head of spinach

Handful of romaine lettuce

250ml water

Blend the celery, spinach and lettuce in 250ml of water before adding all the other ingredients. Blend until smooth et voila...

Victoria's Secrets Bikinis...

So for a brief period of time, the sun did shine in London... however, we all know to get guaranteed sunshine, you need to leave this muddy island and head South!

I recently went on a holiday and for the months before was frantically shopping to find that killer bikini.

I have never bought swimwear from Victoria's Secrets before, but with the help of their 'Angels'... I decided yes, I would like to try and look like Candice Swanepoel (ha ha) and bought two bikinis. Despite the fact that they took 2 months to arrive from the US (due to limited stock... painful and poor customer service), they finally arrived literally the day before I left!

They (the bikinis, not me in them) look great, however the sizing is very strange... I am a typical UK size 8, but the size 'small' bottoms were too big and unflattering and generally I would say their cup sizes come up small so you definitely need to go one size up.

With the cost of the bikini, international shipping cost and import tax, (which is additional when they arrive in the UK), it proves rather costly! However the Victoria Secret sale has just started and both my bikinis are now (annoyingly for me) in it! And I definitely think they are well worth it...

Happy shopping! x
