My Food Week

I thought I would share with you all the food I made this week.Hopefully you might get some ideas.

Monday
I made fajitas and my recipe for the spice mix can be found here.

Tuesday
Potato Wedges
Potatoes
Olive Oil
Rosemary

Preheat oven to 180
These take 30 minutes to cook and are divine!
Wash the potatoes and cut them into wedges. I leave the skins on but whatever your preference.
Cover in olive oil and rosemary. I sometimes add some chili for a kick.

We had these with paprika marinated burgers from the butchers, which I cooked in the oven.
I also made mushroom and sweetcorn soup but I can't remember the recipe! It was lovely though.

What I Bought

I picked up Rimmel's 25 Hour foundation. This has had a lot of mixed reviews but I was in need of a new daytime foundation so went for this. I considered the Maybelline Perfect Fit but I have wanted to try Rimmel's one for a while now. Anyone got any they'd recommend I'd be delighted to hear your views.

I also bought a lipstick from Rimmel, Sugar Plum. Loving it so far!

Skin Care: Feet First!

Feet I feel are a very neglected part of our skincare and beauty routine. I suppose living here our feet don't get to see the light of day that often but when they do we should make sure they look fabulous. Don't worry I'm not going to post any pictures of feet! It doesn't matter if it's the middle of June or the middle of winter. Our feet should be pampered. After all we do use them for a good part of the day. Walking, standing, running, dancing etc.

My feet were horribly dry because yes I neglected them like so many others out there! I decided to take some action. Into Boots with myself and this was recommended to me.
