THE ESSENCE VAULT FRAGRANCES: You Wouldn’t Tell The Difference

January 3, 2022 No Comments

I am sure you have already seen all the ads around, be it on Facebook, Instagram you name it. What I’m I talking about? The essence vault fragrances, if you like smelling good or just want to have a great scent overall and think you need to have the original designer perfume, then I’m here to tell you that it’s time to save up your coin. I know that buying expensive designer perfume sounds good and all but what if you could have the same fragrance at a fraction of the price and not be able to tell the difference? Then if this sounds interesting to you, I am urging you to check out the essence vault fragrances.

I first saw the ad on Instagram and clicked on it accidentally while scrolling, I wanted to get a present for my husband’s birthday and decided to try different stores and products out there. So I decided to bite the bullet and get him some to test out if they were worth the hype. Well, I ended up buying three bottles which will probably last him forever and the best part is a little goes a long way and lasts all day too. After seeing how great they were, I got myself some too and l am definitely happy with my purchase.

A DELICIOUS CHEWY BROWNIE RECIPE

October 1, 2021 No Comments

Hi once again,

Happy new month everyone. I hope you’re all doing great. I needed something to have for dessert this week and I decided on some brownies. I’m sure no one hates them unless there’s an allergy involved or you just despise chocolate in general. Today I have a delicious chewy brownie recipe for you and I must say, chewy is an understatement because these turn out so good and makes you not stop at one. So if you know you might stop your diet, then I suggest you don’t make them at all. I wouldn’t want to be the one “sabotaging” your diet but honestly, I want to and insist that you try them first. For this delectable brownie recipe, you will need very simple ingredients and they are as follows.

EASY BAKED GARLIC PARMESAN CHICKEN WINGS

September 30, 2021 No Comments

Hello Everyone,

If you’ve been following my blog for a while now and have seen my recipes, then you already know that I tend to have more chicken recipes than other meats. That’s just because I love chicken and my most favourite will definitely have to be chicken wings. There is just something about eating chicken wings that make me super happy, I can have them plainly roasted, dry-rubbed, sticky, spicy and my recent obsession which are my garlic parmesan chicken wings. They are easy and baked to perfection and finally tossed in some parmesan cheese.

My son also loves chicken wings and as much as he used to make me have to debone them for him, he has now appreciated the satisfaction of eating it on the bone and asks for chicken wings every chance he can get. This recipe is super simple and the outcome doesn’t disappoint, with some small prepping time and the oven at your service, then you will love this recipe. You will need;

BEANS AND SWEETCORN QUESADILLAS

September 29, 2021 2 Comments

Hey there,

Quesadillas are on my mind today and not just simple ones but beans and sweetcorn quesadillas, perfectly spiced, full of flavour and can be whipped up real quick. I ended up refrying my own beans but if you have a favourite brand then you can use that. I usually like my beans to have a bit more texture, not thoroughly mashed and to have a bite too. Quesadillas just have a way of making one happy when it comes to indulging, I mean a tortilla, great filling and cheese and you have yourself, one happy person. Honestly, quesadillas were not something I grew up with and hence never made it to my menu. Nowadays, I ensure that I make some every two weeks with a change-up of ingredients of course. For this recipe, you will need;

MY FACE MASK REVIEW

July 13, 2021 2 Comments

Hello Everyone,

I hope you’re all having a great start to the week. If you read my updated skincare routine, then you already know how I have changed it up quite a bit from trying Korean skincare to avoiding some products entirely. I have been into skincare for quite some time now, and after getting the routine that suits me and my skin type, it still hasn’t made it easy when my skin decides to just breakout out of nowhere or sometimes due to the dreaded hormones, either way, it’s a battle I am trying to conquer. I added some facial masks to my routine which I am liking. This is my face mask review and it’s an updated version.
