Vegan "What I Eat In A Day." #3

Welcome back to another Vegan “What I Eat In A Day.”

This is everything I ate on Friday

I always start my morning off with lemon water. Not only does lemon water aid in digestion, it also helps boost the immune system, cleanses your system, and helps keep your skin free from blemishes.

Not only do I drink lemon water as soon as I wake up, I also drink it throughout the day.  

For breakfast I had two pieces of vegan hemp bread with mashes avocado, red onion, and chili flakes. On the side I had one sliced banana, and some raisins.

For dinner I had leftover whole grain spaghetti. I added tomato sauce, tomato, asparagus, and fresh parsley to the pasta. I wanted it to have a somewhat cheesy flavor, so I added a generous amount of nutritional yeast.

I usually make a large amount of pasta at a time. I like having leftovers in the fridge. It is simple to heat up for lunch or dinner the next day. You can always add things to it the following day.

For dinner I made a baked sweet potato with steamed veggies, tamari gravy, and a side salad.

Tamari Gravy:

• 1/3 cup Tamari (Or soy sauce. You can also use shoyu.)
• 1 Cup water
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger.
• Corn starch. (About 1 Tablespoon.)

Mix well, and heat on the stove until it thickens.

The side salad consisted of cucumber, tomato, red onion, hemp seeds, lemon, pepper, and nutritional yeast.

Being vegan does not have to be complicated or time consuming. It also does not have to be expensive.

If you do not have some of the ingredients that I mentioned, just add what you have. Everything I make is very versatile.

I hope you all enjoyed reading my post. I will talk to you in my next one.

Nivea Men After Shave Balm (Primer?)

If you are an active member of the online beauty community, you know that a lot of people have been using the Nivea Men After Shave Balm as a face primer. When I heard about this, I had to get my hands on it.

The first thing that I can tell you I liked was the price. You get 100ml for well under $10.00. That is a lot of product!

I was worried about the smell. It has the typical male product smell. I was pleased to find out that the smell does not stay after you apply it. Since it has a stronger scent, I was also worried that it would irritate my skin. I have used this almost everyday for a month, and it has not irritated my skin at all!

I apply this to cleansed skin right before I do my makeup, as you would with any face primer. It will leave your skin feeling a bit tacky, which provides a great base to apply your foundation. However, it does not stay tacky.

It is a great product. It makes your skin feel soft and your makeup go on nice and smooth. It really helps your makeup last throughout the day. It does not contain alcohol, which means it isn't drying to the skin. What more could you want in a primer?

I highly recommend giving this a try.

Thank you all so much for reading. I will talk to you in my next post.
