10 SIMPLE DAILY HABITS THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE

August 2, 2022 18 Comments

Hello Everyone,

I hope you’re all having a great week so far, I wrote a post a year ago on how I was going to let the universe guide me and how I had no set goals for the year. I also said that I would go with the flow and see what happens, well I am here now to tell you the results. Let’s just say that after a few months of being mindful and happy, life happened and I was back to setting goals and following routines all over again. I ended up coming up with daily habits that I made sure to stick with and so far so good. To be honest, it was hard at first but with little tweaks here and there, I am able to do them now. I decided to come and share with you these 10 simple daily habits that will change your life.

What is a habit?

Simply put, a habit is something that you do all the time and regularly without knowing that your doing it sometimes. Now that we’ve taken care of that, it makes you to start thinking of what you’ve been doing without even knowing it right? No need to worry you can be able to rectify that with these simple daily habits that will change your life.

So why don’t I stay to read your blog?

I’ve been blogging for a while now and boy has it been a journey, from learning something new almost everyday, to doing research, getting frustrated at times and correcting mistakes along the way.

Sounds harsh but I’m going to be honest and tell you the reasons why I don’t stay to read your blog.

January 24, 2022 No Comments

If you missed my previous post, then this is a follow up on what you could make to eat with ajvar. How to make Croatian cevapi/ cevapcici is what I have for you today. Grilled flavoured minced meats that pair well with the ajvar recipe I gave you earlier and is just glorious to have any time. As much as I would like to eat cevapi the authentic way with all the dips and bread, I tend to also make them and eat them on their own because they are that good and just makes you want more. Before I continue, let me just explain a bit more what cevapi/ cevapcici are.

So, what exactly is cevapi?

Plainly put, cevapi is a grilled dish of minced meat found traditionally in Serbia and Croatia. Hand-mixed and formed into kebab shaped meat from two to three types of minced meat. For my recipe, I used two and preferably prepped a day before to let it marinate. For this recipe you will need;

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.

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.

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 ROASTED TOMATO SOUP RECIPE

September 24, 2021 No Comments

There is just something about warm, comforting soups that does it for me, especially in the chilly evenings. One of my favourites and most loved soups would have to be my easy roasted tomato soup recipe. Roasting them instead of boiling them just makes a great difference and you retain most of the flavour. If you haven’t tried this version before, then no worries because I am going to share with you my recipe and I know if you’re a soup lover, then ready up the garlic bread because this one is for you. Unlike my butternut squash soup, this one tends to be a lot simpler but very delicious at the same time. Lightly spiced, and all you need is your oven and an immersion blender to do all the work for you. For this recipe, you will need;

ONE POT SAUSAGE AND PASTA RECIPE

September 23, 2021 No Comments

Busy evenings, who doesn’t love them, right? Anyway just joking. If you’re like me and tend to end up rustling up dinner while still thinking of how many million things you still have to do before the day ends, then this one-pot sausage and pasta recipe is one to have on hand. All in one pot, no need of cooking the pasta beforehand and packs a punch when it comes to great flavour. Depending on what kind of sausage you like using, you can pick your favourite but if you can find kielbasa, then I suggest you use that. The last addition of cheese brings this dish altogether and adds a creamy texture that will not disappoint. For this recipe, you will need;
