PB - Banana Snack Wrap

If you're on the Tone It Up plan you are very familiar with this snack. I can eat this for dinner (and I have) because it's so good!

It'll curb your appetite between breakfast and lunch or lunch and dinner. A great post work-out snack too.

Ingredients:
Peanutbutter (preferably with no sugar)
whole wheat tortilla
1/2 banana (greener bananas are better than ripe ones, because of the GI level).

Just spread - slice - wrap -and eat!

Soleil Tan De Chanel & Chanel Lip Balm

Today I treated myself with two luxury items from Chanel, the Soleil Tan De Chanel (Summer 2011 - Bronzing powder compact) and the Hydramax + Active Nutrition lip balm

The Chanel bronzing powder caught my eye immediately because of the gorgeous colors. Since it's a limited edition I had to get it! I got the lightest color 547 Bronze Rosé, but I wish I had got the darker one. It just looked really dark at the makeup counter (and I didn't even swatch!), but once I tried it on and realized how sheer this color is, I could have easily pulled off the darker one.

I tried using the pink color as a blush, and it was really pretty. Maybe - just maybe, a little bit ashy pink, since I have a tan and it's on the lighter side (think Nars Orgasm).

It will work as an amazing highlighter on a tanned face, collar bones and shoulders ♥

Left: swatched one by one. Right: mixed together

Word of advice: Toss the brush immediately! You would think for this price and brand that Chanel were able to make a super soft brush to come with it...well this can clean out your stained pots and pans. It's harsh! You can even tell on the picture that it has left marks on the powder.

I'm a sucker for lip balm and have been since I was little. I didn't even know Chanel made lip balm in a jar until just recently, so of course I had to get it..
This is a big jar (0.35 oz/10 g) so, although it's very pricey, you still get a lot of product for the money. It has a lovely neutral smell and even tastes good!
If you're looking for a lipgloss-lip balm this is not it. This is not going to give you pouty shiny lips. This is more like the name says - a hydrating and nutritional lip balm. I only wish it had SPF. That's a little disappointing, but other than that, I love it!


















Another favorite lip balm in a jar is the baby pink Dior lip balm (last seen here and here).

Nude, Hot Pink, 17th of May ramble

Norway's independence day, May 17th, is a huge day of celebration here in Norway. For kids in daycare it's celebrated the day before. They sing, play games, eat hot dogs and ice cream.
I even got my son - the teenager, to come and watch his little sister sing. She was so cute!
























For the 17th celebration I wore a super cute dress from H&M in nude.
I love love love nude color.
It's definitely the new staple color in my wardrobe.





















If you have big boobs you are going to want to wear this dress with something to define the waist line. I looked like a pregnant whale wearing this alone.. and that's not a look I really want to go for..
I wore this with a fitted black blazer and black heels.























Sorry for the bad quality of the pictures. I didn't get to take a full figure picture of myself so this is what I managed to do :P

Another color I'm loving lately is hot pink! Hot pink lips and nails!















The OPI nailpolish looks actually red on, but it's a reddish-hot pink (Dutch Tulips).
The lipstick is just a hot pink lipliner from Rimmel all over the lips with a cheap H&M brand lipcloss. Just enough color to be able to wear it daytime ♥

As far as my workout goes, I've had some major backaches the past two weeks and my workouts came to a sudden halt because of it. I think I'm getting better so I have to get those running shoes on and continue my Tone It Up challenge :)
