Easy healthy eating on a budget

Alot of people that want to begin eating healthy often times dont know where to start and complain about the price of healthy and orgainc food.

But healthy eating can be easy and inexpensive, all you have to do is start small and build up from there. Theres no need to run out and buy protein shakes and vegan burgers in your first week of eating healthy....or your second week for that matter.

Taking food you already like and then making a few simple product substitutes can jump start any diet or healthy living kick.

Below we have put together a fast five minute meal for those who are just starting to get in shape, need a lean meal to go with their work out routine or are just hungry for some good food =)

Shrimp Cesar Salad:

What you will need:
-Dole cesar salad kit (or any other packaged cesar salad brand)
-Pre cooked shrimp from your supermarket (seasoned or un seasoned)
-Salad plate
Total cost: 6 bucks for about 2 to 3 salads

What to do:

1) Take out your salad plate (we are using a salad plate not because of the name but because of the portion size it holds) and put about two hand fulls of lettuce from the kit onto it.



-We are only using two hand fulls because most kits hold three serving sizes, this is where people get into trouble they dump all of the salad out of the bag onto the plate and wind up eating 3 servings in one sitting. Two hand fulls should be enough for a middle of the day meal or a "snack" before bed.

2) Heat your shrimp up in the microwave for 45 seconds just to get it warm (remember its already cooked)

3) Add about five shrimp to the salad.



-The reason we are using shrimp and not chicken is because shrimp has less calories and is leaner than chicken and when you start a diet if you dont plan to work off a whole bunch of calories there is no need to eat a whole bunch in one sitting. BUT REMEMBER to eat the daily recommended amount of calories. I just feel its nice to be able to eat more meals than just one. To put it in perspective you could eat this meal three times and still be eating less calories than a mean from Mcdonalds.

4) Cover the salad with a light layer of croutons, Parmesan cheese and Cesar salad dressing.

-You can even add some grapes too if you want to spice it up a bit =)

5) Enjoy =)


YUM! Sure looks good to us =)

The lashes have it

Lashes are a girls bestfriend!
But Ladies beware!!! A Full set often has you looking as if there are mini fans on your face…and trust us when we say that that is NOT the look your want to go for. If we had a penny for every over done set of lashes we have seen…well lets just say we would have no reason to blog anymore.
When deciding to sport fake lashes take this hint and CUT THEM IN HALF before you apply and only add them to the OUTTER EDGE of your eyes. Then add mascara to fluff up the look. The outcome will be flirty, sexy lashes and not two mini fans nesting on top of your eyes.
