What's on your plate?

[lylysa]

Hello there, ladies and gents!

Keeping in line with all the fun and interactive threads asking about your most recent halls, items you have your eyes on, what you're currently wearing, what's your hair routine, and more, I've decide to branch out and ask:

"What's on your plate?"

The beauty world doesn't just stop at skin care and cosmetics, it also goes hand in hand with your overall health and well-being, so with that, I'm curious to see what we're all chowing down and snacking on be it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, or inbetween!

For those with apps that help count calories or to those who just want to keep a log, here's a place to share, possibly find and share some recipes, and even tips on maintaining a balanced diet.

Don't just share food items, but even drinks! I'm a huge fan of tea and at least have a cup of green tea a day (anti-oxidants) and drink plenty of water.

For lunch today, I had:

-Brown rice

-Steamed egg

-Steamed red snapper with green onion, sesame oil, and black pepper

-Gai lan (it's a type of Chinese vegetable/greens)

Now, tell me, Beauty Talk world, what do you have? 😄

My niece makes really tasty desserts. It's always special to get to try her creations. 💛 She usually makes these classic with espresso but this time she opted for something new and different, it was fantastic. 👌

Over the weekend, I gave myself a little "time out" - sat myself down at a local pastry shop for a small treat, a pot of tea, and some time to read.

@itsfi isn't it nice to set aside that "me time"?  It looks like you picked a lovely spot for it.

I adore this so much, looks so delicious and relaxing 💕 @itsfi 

[itsfi]

Thank you @peculiarzmakeup! It was both relaxing and delicious❣️ Occasionally, I may take some work-related reading with me, but that particular outing, it was about leisure reading and just getting in some time to take care of myself.

I love that! Tea, a quiet space, time, self care, sounds like a wonderful occasion! It’s great to make space to do that for ourselves. Beautiful Occasion! @itsfi  🫖❤️

@itsfi This sounds like a lovely way to relax. The desert looks so pretty and tasty. I hope you had a great time.

[itsfi]

Thank you @Mellmars1185! It was really such a great way to give myself a little R&R, without being too time consuming or costly. I've put it on my list of self-care activities to draw from in the future. 💗

[Mellmars1185]

@itsfi That is a smart idea! When I have a day to myself I always think what to do, what to do ?

[CorgiMommy]

@itsfi what a great idea, we sometimes forget to treat ourselves.  Glad you did

[itsfi]

@CorgiMommy, agree. Being able to carve out the time and give that to myself was good, and much needed.

@itsfi @This looks so relaxing and delicious at the same time. 

[itsfi]

@SportyGirly125, it was; a nice treat through and through.

This is a perfect timeout @itsfi ❤️🥰🌹

[itsfi]

@blackkitty2014, it was really nice to have that time to do something like this. 😊 The hardest part was choosing which dessert to go for. 😂

My son wanted his Grandmas mac and cheese for his birthday dinner. It was very easy to make but I am sure it will not compare to Grandmas.

So sweetly sentimental! Looks amazing 🤩 @Mellmars1185

@peculiarzmakeup Thank you!

@Mellmars1185 I bet that was delicious,  happy birthday to your son
