Amber’s Diary: Healthy Pancake Recipe!

Wednesday, Jan 30, 2013

How are you doing? You know you are awesome right? I stumbled across this recipe on Taralynn McNitt's Blog, its flour free pancakes- super easy to make I skip with pb2 (peanut butter and blueberries) and serve with fat free yoghurt, agave nectar, and a sprinkle of crushed walnuts and cinnamon! 

Ingredients:

  • 3 Egg Whites
  • 1 Medium Banana
  • 1/2 Cup Blueberries
  • 1 Serving PB2. 
Directions:
  1. In a mixing bowl: mash up banana. I usually cut mine into little slices, then mash it up with a fork. 
  2. Add three egg whites to the mashed banana and combine
  3. Heat fryingpan on medium high. Spray pan with cooking spray.
  4. Pour half the mixture onto the frying pan, top with blueberries and cover.
  5. Cook each side until golden brown. When you flip the pancake it needs to be really fast!
  6. Top each pancake with 1 tbsp of PB2 powdered peanut butter.

 Arriving in Baku in the early hours of the morning we went off to explore this up and coming cosmpolitan city. With a bustling old town full of shisha smoking locals playing batgammon and hand made persian rugs, the smell of pine and spices envelope the air.

Baku's rich green forest landscape felt like the perfect backdrop for a red sweater and navy cardigan. I love to string Katie Mullally's new charm pendants on different chains for a whismical edge. And the FLASHTRASHGIRL spike bracelet has become my everyday favourtite!

An oil rich country, the promenade in front of the old town is like a mini Knightsbridge lined with designer boutiques that face the Caspian Sea.  Baku also has a thiriving cultural scene thanks primarily to Leyla Aliyeva the President of Azerbaijan's daughter. We visited the Baku Museum of Modern Art (below) with Polly Morgan and Matt Collinshaw, they have a children's gallery in the museum which I tried to convice Matt was not done by actual children but merely a child's perspective..he was sadly not fooled!!!

Amber’s St Tropez Style Diary

Monday, Jul 30, 2012

ah St Tropez the Riviera enclave that lands on the essential summer stop off list. All glorious tans, dancing at Le Cav and late night swimming at Hotel Biblos before sneaking back to boats for parties. Which leave's one totally dis-orientated in the style stakes. So when I found myself with 1 hour to pack I cut it down to the basics. 

1) Breton Stripes- I swapped traditional blue and red for pastel violet and yellow which was a pretty cute match with Club Cinquante-Cinq Table cloths. Street Princess's Cute Bracelets look great for a beach lunch

                                  Riley Rose Mint Bracelet Riley Rose Pink Bracelet 

RILEY BRACELETS £30 Make it an Arm Party SHOP NOW

2) Graphic Under The Sea Prints- Sea- Salt chic and great for standing out in the evening, team a bright dress with Ocean Cool accessories that will spark conversations like Catherine Zoraida & Tatty Devine

SEAHORSE WOODEN NECKLACE £27.50

3) Hats- You can either be chic and go for a wide brimmed which is probably the best option of if like me you're all into Nicki Minaj & MIA and want to wear a hip hop hat in a pseudo ironic way then..YOU CAN! I completed this look with these UBER RAD  gold hoops from the one and only Bling Deenie

On the Road with Amber!

Where to stay: If you have have friends out here or your friends have friends you could stay with I'd definitely recommend doing that. You can emerge yourself into life out here and you don't have to wait for room service! Otherwise you may as well stay at the Mandarin Oriental ( the original one of course) Although Amber restaurant in the Landmark is very good, if i do say so myself!  

 

Where to shop: Hong Kong is all about shopping. Shopping. Shopping. Shopping. Buying things is pretty much the life-blood of every day life here. Skip over the huge Luxury Branded areas, although be sure to check out the best department store in the world, Lane Crawford ( as well as Joyce & OnPedder, IT) and head out to Causeway bay where you'll find loads of little malls that have local HK designers as well as a lot of Korean Fashion. TST has some great little malls too, many of which I have just stumbled into by chance which is the best way to do it really. 

 

Museums + Art: Soho has a plethora of art galleries you should have a wonder round and out in Sha Tin, the HK heritage musuem is a must. They often have fashion exhbitions on ( Right Now YSL,Oh I mean Saint Laurent Paris!) and theres a great little temple near by with Fortune Tellers if your feeling auspicious!

 

Where to Eat: HK is not short of immesnly luxurious restaurants the best in the world in my opnion. So save your cash and blow it all on meals at Pierre, Aqua, Amber, Island Tang & Zuma. During the day to recover from last night's spending, delve into local dim sum and noodle shops or pop into MIX for a juice and wrap. You must try the Egg Tarts and stock up on Candy from Okashi Land.  

 

Can't wait to reveal what we are working on out here! But for now leave some comments about your HK tips or any questions and Ill try get back to you! 

Amber xoxo
