This is so easy I'm not even sure I can use the words 'I made this' I don't have the exact quantities as a lot of my cooking is guess work but use as much or as little as you like of each ingredient.

Ingredients

Fat free natural yogurt
Cucumber
Fresh mint

How to make tzatziki

1. Finely chop the mint and dice the cucumbers.
2. Mix with natural yogurt


Below are two meal ideas using Tzatziki.

Revlon Colorburst lip butter

 I thought I would share my collection of Revlon Colorburst lip butters and my thoughts on them. I have three; Juicy Papya; Lollipop and Strawberry Shortcake.











Strawberry Shortcake was my first purchase, I always tend to go for pink when choosing lip products and this one looked so beautiful when I swatched it in the shop. It's a lovely barbie pink. I'm not keen on this shade on my lips as they are a bit too pigmented for this shade to really work well. I use it lightly to add just a little shine to my lips.

The next one I purchased was Lollipop a vibrant pink with blue undertones. I love this colour so much and is perfect for an evening out.

I purchased Juicy Papaya after seeing Tanya Burr use it in a tutorial and thought it would be a perfect day colour and also something a little bit different for me. This is a perfect peachy orange colour which is lovely, when applied sheer it gives my lips a little perk up and when applied more opaque it's a gorgeous spring time colour.




Overall, the lip butters are a really nice product, they apply easily, last well and are very moisturising.

Banana and Pumpkin Seed Flapjacks

This was a recipe I found in the Weight Watchers magazine which I changed up a bit. The first thing I did was use real butter instead of low fat margarine as I don't like the chemical taste of low fat margarine, secondly because I didn't have enough oats I used 90g less and thirdly I didn't add muscovado sugar as I forgot. However, these little beauties are amazingly good.

Ingredients

140g butter
140g golden syrup
260g oats
2 mashed bananas
2 tbsp of pumpkin seeds

How to make the flapjacks.

1. Preheat oven to 140c
2. In a saucepan melt butter and golden syrup together until it is a nice smooth sauce.
3. Add mashed banana, oats and 1 tbsp of pumpkin seeds.
4. Combine ingredients together and press into a greased tin and sprinkle the remaining pumpkin seeds on top.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden on top.
