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? 😄

@CynthieLu  I looked today and I don’t think the US has it!

[CynthieLu]

Oooh bummer!! @Ispend2much6 if you ever do come across it, it's totally worth trying.

Brunch date with a friend at a local spot 😻

I order thier syle of Eggs Benedict. It was served on a solid stack of fried potatoes with pulled pork, and had pickled cucumber on top. 😅🍽️

The coffee was sooooo phenomenal. Very smooth. I think the presentation for the entire meal was 10 out of 10!

@CynthieLu I love an esthetically pleasing cup of coffee!  That's just a whole vibe in itself.

[CynthieLu]

Yes! It's a little bit magical 🪄@CookieGirl1 

[Ispend2much6]

@CynthieLu  I want some!! It is beautifully presented.

[CynthieLu]

So true! I appreciate all the details they put into putting our food together and hope pretty it was! A huge treat and a surprise. It was my first visit. 😉 @Ispend2much6

@CynthieLu That's fancy! How was it? Sounds yummy. 

[CynthieLu]

It was good! @Samtian I have been telling people at work about this restaurant, it's new(ish), I already want to go back. 😀

In fact, I lead a fairly healthy lifestyle and if I allow myself something tasty and sweet, it's fruit. Recently, I have found https://sharis-berries.pissedconsumer.com/review.html as a healthy treat. I have a sweet tooth and it's hard for me to give up anything sweet, so I decided to replace it with something fruity. Besides, it's a great gift as an alternative to the usual boxes of chocolates.

@mary0jones, fruit is so refreshing. Do you have any favorites?

[CynthieLu]

Today's lunch is a treat to myself. I ordered my favorite snack, the Bacon and Gruyere Egg bites 😍 and couldn't resist the new seasonal drink this Cherry Chai 🌸 

Dosen't it look pretty??

( Both are yummy!)

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu What a lovely treat. Cherry chai sounds amazing! How did you like it?

[CynthieLu]

It was different @Mellmars1185 but I love the flavored cold foams. So it was really enjoyable but I could see it not being a flavour for everyone. It was an interesting pairing.

I decided I want to try it ( the cherry foam ) on an iced mocha. 👌❤️

[Ispend2much6]

@CynthieLu  I trust your recommendations!  The cherry chai does look pretty. I’m wondering about the blackberry sage. Have you tried that one?

[CynthieLu]

I have, all the refreshers can be built with water, lemonade or coconut milk. I liked this one with lemonade or coconut milk. I thought it was a more subtle flavour than the other refreshers imo. (But my favorite is the Dragon Fruit refresher 🐉 🫐) Do you like any of them? @Ispend2much6 

[Ispend2much6]

@CynthieLu  I haven’t tried yet!

[CynthieLu]

They are nice and fruity with a little caffeine. 😊 The coconut milk versions recommend me of something I might love to sip at the beach. Let me know if you ever give one a go and what you think of it. @Ispend2much6 

[Ispend2much6]

@CynthieLu  I’m kind of addicted to the oat milk cortado. I order it without the syrup.  It packs a punch without having to have a huge drink. 3 shots of blonde espresso! Yum!

[CynthieLu]

I haven't tried that bevie yet @Ispend2much6 it's good?? I like the sound of it packs a punch ngl. 😉

Coldstone had this yummy sounding Truffle creation, but it was sold out when we went ugh. So we got a different kind.
