REAL QUICK - which did you have today: coffee or tea? ☕️ Tell me 😁 ⠀ I’m like 70% tea 30% coffee. It also depends on my location. (Like if I’m in Italy, coffee all day everyday. But in Turkey - I’ll take 10 teas a day, pls). They both have their beauty benefits💋... ⠀ Coffee ☕️- as a natural diuretic, it helps draw out extra fluid from skin and give a tightening effect ⠀ Tea 🍵- Helps protect against UV damage, and treat existing UV damage (this applies to green tea mostly) ⠀ #beautydrink #teatalk #coffeeloversunite #italiancoffee #persiantea
Which would you choose : Guac & tortillas, or Guac & veggies?? (If you had the option at a restaurant) 🥑 ⠀ As you can see, yesterday i opted for both. It was a “balance” kinda day 💁🏻‍♀️ Most of the time go for only veggies, but my team and I had suchhhh a long morning shooting and had been nonstop for 6 hours. Tortillas and guacamole REALLY hit the spot, as did champagne, and 1/2 a scone, and a huge salad (not pictured) 🥗🍪 ⠀ Just wanted to share - especially for those of you who ask me if i ever “cheat.” I never deprive myself of something I’m really craving - i just make up for it the other 90% of the time :) xo ⠀ #plantbasediet #veganoptions #foodforskin #beautyfood #plantbasedbeauty
On a scale of 1-10 how appetizing does this look to you? Be honest, I’m curious 😆 ⠀ I get weirdly excited about vegan food 😬 My favorite part is that every restaurant is different. They find sooo many unique ways to create comfort foods, and plate the dishes so beautifully 🌸 Believe it or not, presentation plays a huge role. The nicer it looks, the more enjoyable the experience 😌 ⠀ 📷 @simply__julez #vegandishes #plantbasedbeauty #plantbasedfoods #beautyfood
Açaí bowls aren’t always healthy... ⠀ Have you ever noticed that you feel really full or bloated after eating one? It’s not the actual açaí (acai is amazing😍), but it’s the added “stuff” that most places add. Here’s what to look out for: ⠀ 1 ➡️ Make sure the acai you buy at a store or that’s used in an açaí bowl is UNSWEETENED. Acai on its own has ZERO sugar, which is kind of amazing (and super rare for fruit). Don’t ruin it with added processed sugar! Blending it with a banana (or other berries) will make it sweet enough 🍌 ⠀ 2 ➡️ Skip the granola / processed toppings. The granola is most likely sweetened and processed already, but it also doesn’t combine well with fruit in the gut (bad digestion = BLOAT).👙 ⠀ 3 ➡️ Always blend it with unsweetened almond/coconut milk, or water. Don’t blend with a sugary juice. There’s just no point - it tastes good enough without it! ⠀ What are your questions on smoothie bowls / açaí bowls? Ask below! Xx
Time for a skincare giveaway! 🌸🌸 ⠀ I’ve kind of fallen in love with the Nion Beauty Opus Luxe facial brush 😍 It's the only clinically proven cleansing brush I’ve ever come across! Not only does it deep cleanse, but the speed & vibrations help LIFT your skin, and it has negative ions that help with uneven skin tone, acne, and clogged oil (link to clinical trial video in my bio📊). It's basically a facial massage & cleansing device in one 🙌🏼 ⠀ To enter giveaway, simply➡️ 1- follow @nionbeauty 2- comment below and tag 2 friends ⠀ #SeeTheNionDifference #NionSkincarePros
