Recipe week (Day 3)

Hey, it’s me again and we are on day 3 of this recipe week. I hope you’re all doing great and that you’ve already seen my day 1 and 2 for this week. So what’s on today? Let’s talk tuna, funny enough I am still not a fan of tuna on it’s own until something is done to it. I can have it in a pasta salad, with some dressing over some salad leaves but never on it’s own. I don’t know what it is but it just doesn’t mesh well with me when it’s super plain hence my recipe for you today are these delicious and simple tuna fish cakes. For this recipe, you will need;

Hello Everyone,

It’s literally been a month since I wrote a post and honestly I don’t have an excuse. I wanted to write about COVID once it all started but we already know everything about it by now and what precautions we should take against it, at this point it’s stay home and watch yourself go nuts while you’re kids test every inch of your patience lol. Anyway I hope you’re all doing okay and staying safe. I was sick for two weeks and thought I had it with all the symptoms being identical but I am fine now. Today, I decided to do another recipe week in relation to my Youtube channel since keeping up is getting hectic.

CHECK OUT THESE 10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD START A BLOG

February 18, 2020 14 Comments

Hi Everyone,

How is everyone doing? I hope you had a great start of the year. I don’t even know where to begin since it’s been a while since I came on here and wrote something. A little update about my life, so we moved house and still have stuff in boxes, I am yet to put up curtains and drill holes. My son had to change schools and the closest one is apparently out of spaces left. My school runs are not as exciting as before but he will still have to change schools again come next school year. Anyway, it’s been a lot and I have literally not felt like writing anything nor have I recorded any recipes. So, since February is here, I decided to give you reasons why you should start a blog today.

5. WRITE A SHOPPING LIST To piggy back on checking your fridge and freezer, writing a shopping list is key when it comes to meal planning.

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.
