Food: Mexican Style Chicken and Rice, with Guacamole, and Lime and Chilli Corn on the Cobs.

On a Sunday afternoon I love to stick a load of food on the the table, get my eat on with the fambo, whilst having a good ole gab.

As it's the peak of Summer, the obligatory Sunday roast is a bit much on a hot sunny day.
So ya know, what screams Summer more than the fresh flavours, and ingredients from the Mexican cuisine?

These ingredients are even more so special, when left to mingle with each other. A time-saving trick for this dish, and one that you are grateful for the next day, in terms of cutting down the time spent slaving over a hot stove, but still creating a finger licking dish - is marinating the chicken.

It takes less than 5 minutes to do,  it gets shoved in the fridge, left overnight, and the flavours that develop over this time, well it helps to create a gorgeous tasty feast, in less than 20 minutes.

The recipe is as follows:

Lifestyle: July Favourites

Ah July you was a goodun,  I thought I would have a chat about some things I was loving, some old, and some new. I haven't done a favourites post for so long, so it was quite a job trying to wittle down everything, and pack it into one post.

Lifestyle: The Other Kingdom Bespoke Gift Box


I am so excited to share this post today, as it is a little different.

I was approached by Nickelodeon, and asked if I would like to be involved in the launch of their new show The Other Kingdom which premiers on the 8th August 2016.

The Other Kingdom is a Canadian/American fantasy teen sitcom.
The show is based around a fairy princess called Astral, who doesn't want to be a fairy princess no more, but wants to go to High-School and leave all her mystical friends behind. Huh? Does she know how lucky she is?

Like everything in life, she encounters some bumps along the road, and with over a million views for their first episode in the US, I can see it being a huge success here in the UK.

When I was reading all about the show, the first thing that caught my eye, was the gorgeous bright costumes, and sparkly theatrical make-up used in the show. It truly is beautiful.

I was sent a box of goodies to create my own "fairy" look.

YES I AM GOING TO BE A REAL LIFE FAIRY!

Beauty: First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads Review

I tried the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream, a month or so back now and I really liked it, so when I seen that the brand done facial pads, I was excited to give them a whirl.

I absolutely adore facial pads, and I use them every morning straight after I have washed my face. Religiously.
