This is one of my favorite and simple quinoa salad recipes. This salad is perfect for lunch or dinner as it’s light but extremely satiating. You can enjoying it warm or cold.

Ingredients:

2 cups of water

1/4 of a chopped white onion

1/2 diced avocado

1/3 cup of minced parsley

1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

Bring 2 cups of water and 1 cup of quinoa to a boil. Cover pot and turn burner to low. Set timer to 18 minutes and continue to fluff with a fork. Prepare ingredients. Mix all together.

Enjoy! You will not be disappointed!

Ever since I was little I have loved makeup. When I was 5 I would put on my grandmas lipstick before I went over to ask the neighbor boys to play. I spent most of my teenage years in my room trying different looks. It’s just my thing.My love for makeup and my attraction to a chemical free lifestyle clashed after reading No More Dirty Looks (check out their blog, I read it every day).

Heres a list of my 5 favorite toxin free makeup products:

1. This lip2cheek lifesaver is perfect for any season. It leaves me with a blushy glow.

2. This is my most recent purchase and I love it. Its one of the best bpa free mascaras that I have found. *Not 100% all natural

3. This concealer is perfect for under your eyes and to cover blemishes.

4. This palette has been a god send! I carry it with my everywhere and mix and match colors for my every day look.

5. I use coconut oil for everything, but I mostly use it every night before bed to remove my makeup. It hydrates my skin and gets me ready for bed before I wash my face.
