Hi my little cupcakes. You might have heard me raving on Twitter about how much I'm loving this new coconut oil I'm using on my hair at the moment. I even Keeked about it a fair few times.

You can see how healthy my looks here better than my photos.

This is the product I've been using, very popular with the asian community. It is a very well known product amongst Asian people and can be bought in most if not all asian grocery stores. 

I paid £2.29 for this and I already have this on my shopping list for next month.

The scent is a bit like old coconut not so much a fresh coconut. You'll know what I mean if you've ever come across an older coconut. 

It has a sort of hazelnut smell to itl. I adore coconut in any form so this has worked out perfect for me.

Here's my hair after two weeks of using it..

 

It's looks slightly longer, it has a wonderful shine and lightness to it which is lovely. 

Unfortunately, it does get a bit static due to the lightness but I usually spray a little hairspray in, to control it.

The oil itself is massaged into the hair. 

I've used the product really well, about 8-10 times in the last two weeks and I still have half a bottle left.

 I must say, this hair oil is THE ONE for me. 

I've reviewed two others previous to Vatika and they've been lovely but haven't really sparked any sort of love connection.

I'm in LOVE with this natural oil and I recommend it to any one who would like very healthy looking hair.

Hello, lovely readers!

If you follow me on Twitter, you may have noticed the amount of tweets about the gym and healthy eating..

After a long 4 month break from the gym and being super active, I've decided to go back. The cold weather and Festive season really put me off going to the gym but the best thing about the break is I've maintained my weight so I'm happy.

I just want to be more active again, and I do love going for a good workout!

Chickpeas:

• Good Source of  Protein, Fibre & Zinc.

• They are part of your "5 a day"

• Help to lower cholesterol

• Low in Fat.

The other day I really fancied a Chickpea curry. It's really healthy so I thought I'd put the recipe up here for you guys to try..

Ingredients (Serves 2-3 people)

3 tbsp Olive Oil

1 can of chickpeas 

Passata sauce

2 green chillis (Chopped)

2 cloves of Garlic

Half teaspoon worth of Ginger

1 tsp Salt

2 tsp Turmeric (Haldi)

1 tsp Garam Masala

Bunch of Coriander

Water

1. Add oil to a pan, when warm add your sliced onion, garlic, ginger and green chilli.

2. When the onions have a golden colour, add the salt and passata sauce. After a couple minutes, add your Turmeric and cook for further 3-4 minutes.

 

3. Drain your chickpeas and add them to the sauce, give it a good stir.

 4. Now, add half a pint of water and stir. This will help to soften the chickpeas

5. Let the chickpea curry simmer for 10/15 minutes and add your garam masala and coriander.

Let it simmer on a low heat for a further 5 minutes and it's ready to serve. You can serve this with Naan/ Pitta/ Chapatti's..

I had mine with Salad and low fat Greek Yoghurt.
