CHEESE, HAM AND MUSTARD SANDWICHES
Hello Everyone,
I hope you’re all fine and having a good start of the week. Another week calls for another recipe post for you to enjoy. When it comes to sandwiches, I love everything about them from being able to create my own and also having fails along the way, but that’s what makes them fun right? Just in case you missed my mandazi recipe, find it here. Today I am going to share with you a sandwich recipe which I usually like making from time to time and is really simple. The best part about them is that these are open-faced sandwiches and don’t take that long to make. This is how to make my cheese, ham and mustard sandwiches.
BEAUTIFUL DIY NAILS AT HOME
Hello there,
I hope you are all doing great this fabulous day, after a long weekend once again, I am back with another post for you guys. So today I have a diy post for all the ladies out there who need their nails done without the hustle of visiting a salon. Imagine how much money you can save by doing your own nails and it doesn’t even take that long plus it’s not rocket science. I usually do my own nails and I have never got them done professionally like really go to a nail salon and have them done because I saw horror stories on how some nails break and it looked really painful. To avoid that, I choose to do my own and you can too, this is how you can have beautiful diy nails at home.
IS IMPULSE BUYING COSTING YOU MONEY? LET’S FIX IT.
Hi guys, I hope you had a fabulous weekend and that your week is going great. When I was grocery shopping during the weekend I realised how far I’ve come from doing any shopping in general. You see, before I would go into a store and pick something up because it either looks good or maybe I wanted to try it out without even giving it a thought whether or not I really needed it. I still have a juicer which resides in a cupboard because I thought I would be into juicing at the time. Nowadays, I’ve rectified that by knowing that impulse buying was the culprit and was costing me money. So onto the question is impulse buying costing you money?
The answer is YES
I know that sometimes you might really want something once you see it and I also know that unlike me, there some people who would like to have five sweaters of the same kind but in different colours. Don’t get me wrong but I just think that it’s a waste of money and would rather spend that money on something else. How can you fix that?
1.STAY ORGANISED
When I talk about staying organised, I mean know exactly what you have and don’t have around your home and if there is anything that you need to replace. Once your organisation is on point, you will less likely want to get something on the whim when you are out. So remember to get it together first by having an organisation plan. There’s no point of having three kettles just because they would look nice on your counter. To see how I get organised, find here.
2.HAVE A BUDGET
Impulse buying usually happens when you think or assume that you need something and not knowing it will cost you. To avoid that, have a monthly or weekly budget for everything, your groceries, home products, just everything. Once you have a budget in place, be tight with it and stick to it. When I started budgeting, I failed many times because I didn’t stick to it and ended up struggling when I really wanted something and it wasn’t good, you need to sacrifice all the temptations and just do it. A budget planner will really help if you’re just starting out.
BEAUTY PRODUCTS I’M LOVING THIS MONTH
Hello Everyone,
I know it’s been a while from my last post but I am back now. This week has been a little bit hectic with my son getting scarlet fever and me an infection following that, not an interesting week at all, I am still on medication but all will be fine. In my post on my skin care routine I mentioned how I was going to start trying out other products that I had wanted to and after using them for sometime now, I really like how they make my skin feel and help with my blemishes and hormonal breakouts. These are the beauty products I’m loving this month.
DAIRY FREE ZUCCHINI VANILLA CUPCAKE RECIPE
Hi guys,
I hope your week is going on just fine. This week I decided to revisit a recipe I used to make but then kind of neglected it for a while. As I had said before in my other post here, my son is allergic to milk and we thought it would have disappeared once he turned 2 then three and now he is almost four but clearly it’s just chilling on the side lines saying “Am still here” and will not disappear anytime soon. I found this recipe that my son loves from the cook yourself thin book and just in case I forgot to mention, it’s not only dairy free but fat free too. So if you need a low calorie treat, then this recipe is for you. This is a dairy free zucchini vanilla cupcake recipe. (Updated pictures)
MY BEEF PILAU RECIPE
Hello Everyone,
Pilau is what is on my mind today, I love pilau and always brings back great memories. I try to put it on my menu all the time until my family starts asking for something different then I know it’s time to give it a break. Known for being an Indian or Middle Eastern dish, I got to try my first pilau when I was younger and I’m guessing that was the Kenyan version which I learnt to make and still do the same way I saw back then. I used beef instead of chicken in my pilau but it can also be made into a veggie version. For my beef pilau recipe, you will need;
MY TOP BEAUTY PRODUCTS
Hey there,
When it comes to beauty products, I am sort of a hoarder and as much as I tell myself to stop buying new products, they still end in the cart. Luckily I have some that always remain the same. These are some of my top beauty products that I am not planning to change for a long time, as they say if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. From brushes, to moisturisers and masks.
1. MAGNITONE CLEANSING BRUSH
Before I got this brush, I had my eyes on the clarisonic and thought that it would not impress me, but after three years of using the magnitone, I have no regrets and am still excited every time I get to use it, because it does the same thing it deep cleanses my skin, removes my remaining makeup perfectly and has no faulty issues plus it saved me some money compared to the clarisonic. I change the brushes every six months and until I decide to replace it, am good with this one.
2. DICKINSONS WITCHHAZEL TONER
I started using this when I ran out of apple cider vinegar and I must say, I love it, not too harsh very refreshing and it just makes my skin feeling clean and clear and my breakouts have really reduced after sticking to this toner.
3. AVEENO MOISTURISER
This moisturiser is the it for me, I used to ignore it thinking it was just another one claiming to reduce breakouts, but it has made my skin better and will continue using it because I am hesitant to try out another product. Even when I know I have a new product to use, I still go back to this one because it’s the only product that works for my skin finally.
4. BENTONITE CLAY MASK
It’s not only pocket friendly, but the results are amazing and for the amount you get, it will last you long. I chose this as my top beauty product because it does exactly as it says it would, your face feels like you thoroughly deep cleaned it but without the scrubbing effort and with flawless results, I am not planning on changing it anytime soon for more on my face mask review, find it here. Perfect product in my opinion.
5. IVES COLLAGEN MOISTURISER
This is my last layer when it comes to my night time routine. The first time I used it, my skin woke up feeling plump and so soft and now my husband uses it and he loves it.I wrote about this in my skincare routine here. It’s a good night cream that’s why it’s in my top beauty products.I am tempted to try out the Neutrogena water gel because the packaging looks so cool and serene. Anyway I will continue using this and I will get the Neutrogena to try out. Will give my review after I get it.
