5 Quick & Healthy Breakfast Ideas

1. Quaker Oat/ Porridge Oats

 I actually don't mind quaker oats as long as it has sugar in it. It is really filling and is great to last you till the next meal of the day. It usually takes around 4mins to prepare so it's not too long. People also like to put fruit on top such as strawberry, banana, raspberry and apple slices. You could also try raisins if you like.

2. Healthy Cereals

Yes I know it can be hard to opt for healthier cereals when there's things like Coco Pops, Frosties and Rice Krispies but if you are looking for a healthier lifestyle, cereals like Kellog's Fruit n Fibre would be great. Other healthier options are Bran Flakes,Weetabix, Kellog's Nutri-Grain and Muesli. All these would be perfect with just a glass of water or juice in the morning and don't take long to make at all.

3. Whole Grain Toast

Toast is probably one of the most popular breakfasts but to turn the odd toast healthy, use whole grain or brown bread instead. You can try buttering it lightly then putting some banana slices on top or have it with those ham,chicken or turkey slices into it and turn it into a sandwich. However you would like to be creative with your toast, try it out with some slices of whole grain bread.

4. Fruit Salad

This is probably one of the quickest breakfasts if you prepare a big portion of fruit salad the night before then every morning you can put some in a bowl and enjoy away. It is also good to help you get your 5-aday and most fruits taste really good anyway. You can also make yourself a fruit smoothie that you can store in the fridge and pour into a bottle every morning/night if you really don't have time to waste where you can drink it on the go. I actually have a post on a tropical fruit smoothie which I've made.

5.Boiled Egg

Finally, you can decide to start your day with boiled eggs. You can cut it and put it in bread or toast or you can even eat it along with some sweet and crunchy salad. These are just a few ideas but in the end it's up to you! To make things easier, you can boil the eggs the night before then peel and eat the next morning!

So that's all for today, I hope you enjoyed this post and you might have got some inspiration of some quick and easy healthy breakfast ideas. Be sure to leave me a comment of what you think and let me know what you have for breakfast if anything.

5 Daily Life Hacks To Prevent Breakouts

1. Drink plenty of water!

2. Keep Your Hands Away From Your Face 

It can be very comfortable to rest your chin on your palm during those boring math classes or constantly be fussing with your face but little did you know that these habits can actually cause spots due to the oils and bacteria on your hands which eventually build up and get clogged in your pores since we obviously don't wash out faces every 5mins. That is why it is important to wash our faces twice a day to get rid of all the bacteria and excess oils and impurities which is my next tip.

3. Building A Morning & Night Facial Regimen

I actually have a post on my own morning and night facial regimen which you should definitely go and check out here where you'll find how I go about my regimen. It is important that we wash our face twice a day to keep it fresh and vibrant for the morning and to cleanse all impurities and possibly makeup before bed. I would also recommend that you purchase or DIY some kind of exfoliator which helps to remove the layers of dead skin and deeply cleanse our pores. I will be doing a post on how to make your own DIY exfoliator. Also, you must always always moisturize your face after every wash/cleanse because if your face is dry, your skin will be producing even more excess sebum which clogs your pores and eventually cause pimples which is what we're trying to prevent here!!

4. Change Your Pillowcase Often

Over time bacteria, dirt and sweat can build up on your pillow case so it is important to wash your pillow cases and change them maybe once a week or two. A fresh, clean pillow can stop your skin from erupting overnight!

5. Get Your Beauty Sleep! 💤

Sleeping is soo important! I mean, who doesn't like sleeping and lazing around in bed with nothing else to do but relax and kickback? Us teenagers especially should be getting at least 8-9hours of sleep and a little less for adults. Stress can also lead to breakouts so getting your beauty sleep can really save your precious face from getting out of control. 

And that is all the daily life hacks I have for you guys which could help to prevent those unwanted spots! I hope this post was helpful and make sure to comment below what you think and if you have any other tips or tricks that work. Why not check out some of my other lifestyle posts?
