January 4, 2019 73 Comments

Hiya,

It’s been a while since I did a beauty post and with the new year here, It’s time to take care of ourselves and start it right be it health wise or skin-wise. By now you all know that I love skincare and products that come with it, I am a product hoarder and I am still trying to fix that. We all would love to just get up in the morning and not care whether that lousy pimple is all hormonal or just a pesky annoying torch. My skin has gone through ups and downs and if you read my skincare routine, then you will know how much I do try to take care of it. So anything that will give me healthy clear looking skin I am all for trying and researching about it. If you have skin problems, then here are 5 reasons why your skin is not clear and healthy.

BLACKBEAN VEGETARIAN BURGERS

December 5, 2018 36 Comments

Hello Everyone,

Happy new month everybody, December is here and I am yet to find where my tree is and when to start all the decorating. Meanwhile, my son has decided to stop eating meat and be a vegetarian, so what does that call for? More recipes and cooking involved which is all good since I do love trying out recipes. This past weekend I decided to make some blackbean vegetarian burgers for him to try out and it was a success. He claims not to like beans but he didn’t even notice that he was having them. If you missed my juicy oven baked turkey burgers post and video do check it out here, and do subscribe to my channel. Here is the recipe for them.

Autumn is here,

Hello everyone, can you imagine it’s November? I know time has really flown, we were just melting a while ago with all the summer heat and wishing the cold weather would hurry up. Anyway, today I am back with some comfort, colour and cosy Autumn decor I am loving. This season, I am on a mission to revamp my living room since we are due for some new sofas and just overall a new look for a change. Also I have noticed that my tastes have really changed and I am more into bolder decor and more of prints other than plain all grey or white. So what do you think I am loving? Well here are some of the things I have been looking at and planning to incorporate in my home.

5 ORGANISATION AND STORAGE PRODUCTS YOU NEED TO OWN

November 4, 2018 52 Comments

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all doing great, in my last post here I shared with you all about organisation, today I am back with another post on 5 organisation and storage products you need to own. We all know that having a place for everything will definitely make life easier and will ensure there is no clutter around the home. Also I am sure there is that one cupboard under the sink that has all the extra bags or detergents and no matter how much you try and organise it, it goes back to being a mess. Well don’t you worry I have a solution for you.

WHERE TO PROMOTE YOUR BLOG POSTS ONCE YOU’VE PUBLISHED THEM

October 9, 2018 45 Comments

So,

I already shared with you how you can promote your blog posts effectively in my previous posts and today I am back to tell you where you can be able to do that in order to get the most traffic to your site. Honestly, when I first started, I wrote my posts, published them and did nothing else, I guess I thought that I would get organic traffic instantly without doing anything which was so naive of me to even think like that, I needed to share my posts and share them in different platforms in order to get the best outcome and increase my blog’s traffic. So today I am here to share with you where to promote your blog posts once you’ve published them.

EASY VEGETABLE FRIED RICE

October 4, 2018 38 Comments

Hi There,

As a busy mum, I try to figure out what is the quickest and fastest meal I can be able to prepare and still make time for my almost 6 month old and 5 year old. Now, I don’t really make fast meals everyday but there are days when I literally can’t think of anything else to cook without it having too many steps. So when that time comes, my easy vegetable fried rice hits the spot and is ready in minutes compared to my beef pilau recipe or the salmon fish cakes. Also my son really loves it and always eats it with a side of oven baked salmon which will come next on the blog later on. Today, we will be focusing on the fried rice part. So, you will need:

LOVING THE ALDI LACURA SKINCARE PRODUCTS AND WHY YOU SHOULD TOO

October 2, 2018 32 Comments

Hello Everyone,

I am so excited for this post today, I hope you’re all doing great and had a lovely weekend. Speaking of the weekend, I went for my usual grocery shopping in aldi and after lots of rummaging through all those baskets and trying to find where the special buys are, I ended up finding some skincare products which to be honest, really looked good. I am sure you have all heard about the Lacura brand in aldi and how some end up selling out, that’s why I am loving the aldi lacura skincare products and why you should too. Also, I think I found a Pixi glow tonic dupe that I am very excited about and it’s way cheaper than the original. Make sure to also check out my top beauty products and tell me what you think.
