Nasty Gal x MAC



MAC cosmetics are certainly no stranger to a collaboration (or 27,000,000) and their latest collabo is right on the money. They’re teaming up with webtrepaneur and #GIRLBOSS Sophia Amoruso of fashion brand Nasty Gal. Amoruso has designed a range of three lipsticks (in pillar box red, vampy purple and deep burgundy) plus a nail lacquer. The products look great, but then MAC collaborations tend to be already fab MAC products with fancy new packaging. What do you think? Will you be dashing out to buy this collection?

RECIPE: 2 Ingredient, Gluten-Free Banana Pancakes

 I LOVE pancakes… in fact that's a understatement. On a weekend I will happily cook up a tasty batch but when you think about the ingredients (white processed flour, processed sugar, milk and butter) the allure dulls. Their nutritional value is practically nothing!

So when I heard you could use magical bananas and eggs and nothing else to make pancakes I was all for it!
banana and egg gluten free pancakes

INGREDIENTS

1 Large Banana per person
2 Organic Eggs
Pinch Baking Powder
Pinch Cinnamon (or vanilla)

METHOD

Mash the bananas really well then mix all ingredients together.
Fry in a frying pan on a low heat with a tiny bit of coconut oil.
Serve with natural Maple Syrup.

ENJOY!

BENEFITS

These pancakes don't contain sugar, gluten or lactose. Plus the eggs mean that they're high in protein.
Now, they're not quite as good as traditional pancakes because that's not the way the world works but they certainly do satisfy a sweet tooth and they're mega easy to make too.

#Review Nip + Fab Fitness


These products are amazing for a post gym scrub-down. Now, not to be too graphic, but I sweat when I work out… profusely might be too strong a word but, you know. I mention that only because my gym partner doesn't seem to perspire at all - weird!
Anyhoo although working out is great for my muscle tone I find my skin suffers from blocked pores and a bit of sweat-induced 'Bacne'. I'm sure this is a common problem so I don't mind sharing.
Nip + Fab products are amazing for combating this as they contain Glycolic acid which literally melts away sebum and sweat without being too harsh. They leave you feeling squeaky clean after a workout and smell really fresh too.
The price point is amazing also - definitely worth a try for gym bunnies!
