September 28, 2021 No Comments

Hello Everyone,

Am I the only one who thinks puff pastry is God sent? I honestly don’t even know how I never used it before but thankfully all that has changed. Once I discovered store-bought puff pastry, there is no holding me back, I think my family is fed up with all the sausage rolls they keep finding me making but no complaint has been filed yet. Talking about puff pastry, how do some puff pastry creamy chicken and vegetable hand pies sound? Well, you don’t even have to answer that because I have the perfect recipe for you. Perfect for lunch, dinner, picnics, snacks you name it. They are delicious and with the help of some store-bought puff pastry, half of the work is done for you. 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.

February 15, 2021 31 Comments

Hey There,

There are so many questions parents ask themselves once they start a family and the children start growing up. As much as the fun activities you do with your child at home are important in supporting their learning and development, they do have a lasting effect as they go on through school. When your child is still young and not able to talk yet, helping them to understand new words and ideas by talking to them does help. By just taking some time every day to do some of these activities with your child will really make a difference in your child’s confidence and learning abilities, making you one proud mother. Here are some tips on how to help with your child’s learning.

Guess who? Yes, it’s me again and the week is almost over. We are on day 4 and I am super proud to have been able to do this. Anyway how are you all doing today?

I thought tomorrow would be better but apparently it’s going to be even higher than today, I guess outdoor cooling activities are in order. If you remember a while ago, banana bread was everywhere and I don’t know why but I also jumped on that wagon and made this simple perfect moist banana bread. Hence the recipe for today, you will need;

Hello Everyone,

I hope you’re all doing great and still pushing on be it indoors or starting to venture out a bit. Now I don’t know about you but when it comes to fashion, I am not one to follow trends or go with the crowd. I prefer having something I really do like and fits in with my minimalist and sustainable lifestyle and thanks to Nordgreen, I get to do just that by adding a Native black leather watch to my wardrobe essentials which suits me perfectly and I couldn’t be happier. If you haven’t heard about Nordgreen, well it’s a Danish watch company that offers a sustainable, functional yet affordable collection of men’s / women’s watches with classic Scandinavian design.

Recipe week (Day 5)

We are almost there, it’s day 5 and another recipe is coming your way. So apparently we are going to be on lock down for another 3 weeks, at this point I don’t even know what to think anymore. I used to complain on how school runs were getting difficult and tiresome but its times like these that I’d totally love to walk for 30 minutes and pick up my son. How are you all coping by the way? Unless I am the only one overreacting and I have no idea. My baby boy turns 2 this weekend and I have already seen what the terrible twos have in store for me that’s why the playground being open would totally be lifesaving or anything that doesn’t involve running around the house screaming. Let’s just jump right into today’s recipe, my stove top tender chicken stew.
