But during the summer I've been eating different types berries and really like them now. I've been trying this smoothie for a couple of days and different fruit to try and get a balanced taste and I settled on this. You can substitute the mi wadi squash for any other juice or even water. This smoothie is great to start your morning as it has many berries which have lots of good vitamins like vitamin C.  Anyways lets get this smoothie started.

Ingredients/equipment:
- handful of grapes
- 5 strawberries
- 1 peeled peach
- frozen forest berries mix (currents, blackberries, blackcurrents,raspberries,blueberries)
- hand blender/stand blender/any blender in general
- any juice or water (i used mi wadi squash in tropical)







——————————–––————————————————————————————————

1. Remove the stem from strawberries and grapes and put into blender with frozen berry mix.

2. Peel the peach and chop up into cubes and put into your blender

3. Pour your juice/water into blender along with everything else.

4. Blend until smooooootheee 

5. Pour into a glass or cup and slightly cut the bottom of a strawberry and put on the rim of the glass for garnish. Then enjoy ❁

DIY || 3 Ingredients face mask ♡

Hey guys...
Victoria here,

Today I bring you another face mask and this one is my favourite face mask EVER. Its very easy and you'll only need 3 ingredients to make it. Its super great for your skin and leaves your face feeling really soft and much brighter. This mask is great for all skin types. Another thing I love about this mask is that it brightens your skin making your spot scars disappear. Ps. it kinda tastes nice too haha ♡

Little bit of info about the ingredients and the amazing things it does to your face ♡

Avocado -  avocados contain vitamin E which is great for improving your skins health. Avocados also moisturise your skin and can prevent dry skin when put directly on skin.

Honey - Honey is naturally antibacterial, so it's great for clearing up acne. Because its full of antioxidants, it is great for slowing down ageing. It is really moisturising and soothing, so it helps create a glow. Honey is clarifying because it opens up pores making them easy to unclog.

Lemon - Lemons are high in vitamin C and antioxidants and has lots of fruit acids and sugars that are great for acting as an exfoliant, blackhead remover, skin brightener and as a treatment for sunburn.

Ingredients/equipment:
- Juice from 1/2 a lemon
- 1/2 an avocado
- 2 teaspoons of honey
- knife
- fork
- teaspoon
- bowl or container




Now onto making the mask -



1. Cut your avocado in half and only use 1 half

2. Scoop your the avocado it a bowl and lightly mash

3. Squeeze half of the lemon into the bowl

4. Put 2 teaspoons of honey into the bowl and mix it up. Then you're finished.

5.. Put it onto your face for 10 minutes then rinse off with warm water
