CHEESE STUFFED TURKEY STEAKS

November 26, 2019 14 Comments

Happy new week,

So this weather isn’t really doing me any favours and I know Thanksgiving is literally a stone throw away. I never celebrated it when I was younger and even now, we don’t really do anything big. I am sure, you’ve already planned out your decorations and what to cook on that day but if you don’t really fancy having a turkey roast on the day, then these cheese stuffed turkey steaks can be an alternative for you, easy to prep pan fried and totally delicious. For this recipe you will need;

THE BEST THOUGHTFUL AND PRACTICAL HOUSEWARMING GIFT IDEAS

November 22, 2019 17 Comments

T’is the season

Hey there, so December is around the corner and I haven’t even started any shopping yet. My tree is eating dust somewhere in the garage and don’t even get me started with gift giving. Anyway, I know some of you are already getting the hang of things and already have your tree up which is great by the way. Today’s post is a bit different, I already did some gift guides before which still apply this year be it for him, her and the kids. Also if you need some for the interior lover then I have one for that too but today I decided to give you the best thoughtful and practical housewarming gift ideas.

I am sure you’re wondering like really, housewarming? Yes that’s right, I am going to be moving house soon and I just decided housewarming gift ideas sound pretty good right now. Also there might be someone out there who is moving into a new home just in time for Christmas, so I would like to share with them some gift ideas which are thoughtful and practical at the same time. Okay let’s get started.

MINI TORTILLA CRUST PIZZAS

November 15, 2019 17 Comments

So,

Can you believe how fast this week has gone by? It’s almost the weekend and the weather is really not doing me any favours this time. I have literally been rained on every school run and it seems like it’s not going to settle down anytime soon. I am back today with a continuation of my recipe week 1 posts with these mini tortilla crust pizzas. Yes, the season calls for soups, hearty stews and everything gingerbread and I know that but this was long overdue. I hope you do understand, it’s not going to be a full week of recipes like last time but I will be throwing one once in a while to support my channel.

BEST TIPS FOR SENSITIVE SKIN

November 12, 2019 11 Comments

Hi,

Happy new week everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend and also enjoyed the rain that came with it, that is if you were indoors. Anyway today I am back with a skincare post, in my skincare products I want to try out this year post, I told you about my spring allergy and how it flares up and also what I wanted to do to deal with it. What I was not expecting is it to come back again this time of the year even though I knew it was just a Spring thing. I already knew I had sensitive skin and if you read the post on the products that didn’t work for me, then you will see how I almost burnt my face off. My skin is definitely not my friend right now, hence why I am here with best tips for sensitive skin.

I do have sensitive skin and it keeps getting more sensitive as time goes, I never used to really have any problems with my skin until I moved from Croatia and then everything just started doing it’s own thing. Anyway, these are some of the tips that have helped in my experience when dealing with sensitive skin.

September 17, 2019 25 Comments

Hi,

It’s been quite a while since I came on here and it actually does feel wierd a bit, hopefully I gain momentum and be more consistent in the weeks to come. How you all doing? How was your Summer? I hope you had a great one, mine was okay, we travelled to visit friends and family and now back at it again with school runs and meal prepping, basically back to reality lol. So today’s post is all about motivation, we’ve all heard about writer’s block but what about what to do when you don’t have blogging motivation anymore? I thought I would write a bit about that and tell you what I normally do when it happens to me.

HOW TO FEEL HAPPIER NOW

July 2, 2019 20 Comments

Hey there,

Happy new month everyone, I hope you all had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the heatwave that followed. Today I’m back with a new post for you and it’s a joyful one this time. Who doesn’t want to feel happy all the time? I know life happens and it might seem impossible to just be happy one time and stay that way all day but it is possible and you can do it. You’ve heard about the “I’ll be happy when” syndrome, so long as you keep on waiting for something to happen or something to arrive for you to be happy, that’s when you mess things up. You have to be happy first and feel good in order for it to come, the best part is it’s really not that difficult, here are a few ways on how to feel happier now.

6 SIMPLE THINGS I STOPPED DOING TO MY NATURAL HAIR

February 19, 2019 22 Comments

Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all having a good day and had a great start of the week. I decided to embark on a water fast and don’t even know what made me do such a thing, I haven’t cheated or fainted yet so let’s hope I make it through. Anyway since I was thinking of doing my hair this week, it made me realise how my routine has changed. If you read my post here on how to have healthy natural hair then you know what it takes. Since then, my hair has gone through a lot from pregnancy to colour damage to lots of unnecessary trims. I did notice 6 simple things I stopped doing to my natural hair and I will be sharing that with you today.

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:
