How I lost my job because of Corona virus/ Covid 19

I am writing this blog to express my frustration and disappointment with government, employee rights and life in general.  I started my new job right before Corona virus hit this hard and toilet paper disappear from every where.  I do live in the UK and got hired as a contracted worker through an agency. It was a job that I was more than qualify doing and the environment seemed too good to be true.  A week goes by and Corona virus was just a meme. Another week goes by toilet paper vanished from the face of earth.  Another week goes by schools/Universities rumored to be closed down due to lock down.  In the news the updates we were getting was how bad the virus is and that people will die as it is inevitable (how nice of them), no measures were taken.  Another weeks goes by all the produce, pasta and basic necessities are gone from the supermarkets, schools getting ready for close down and businesses were told to have their staff work from home but no

2 easy steps to clean the stains of your couch with out spending a fortune!

Hello readers, Today's blog will be about couch cleaning and how I manage to clean my corner sofa couch with just £3.50 (British pounds).  The couch is a corner 3 seater that can be turn into a double bed and its color is light brown.  The poor couch has been through a lot recently. Such as coffee spills, cats rolling on it after their play time, shoe stains, pen stains and dust. I believe anyone who have a very active family can relate to that. Also I believe that not everybody cant afford to have their couch professionally washed but they still want to have a clean house even if it last seconds. I surely can't afford to have the couch professionally cleaned. But I don't want them to be dirty either. So I head up to the store in search of finding some cleaning products that will help me to get rid of couch stains. I searched all the store isles but I couldn't find any product specifically for the couch and the products that I found were way too pricey for me.

Hello readers, Some of us struggle with maintaining weight, loosing weight or having a healthier lifestyle. One of my personal struggles is letting go my favorite dishes. Like pizza! I love pizza! But pizza is not good as it is very high in fats and sugar! Just imagine one slice of pizza can contain the same calories as a piece of roast chicken with steam rice and vegetables all together. But pizza is so good and this is why I am writing this blog! This blog will include 3 different styles of easy homemade pizza which are more healthy and you can actually enjoy the whole pizza with less than 500 calories and not only just 1 slice.  Ingredients for the base: 1 Weight watchers tortilla wraps (128 calories for each tortilla wrap) 2 tablespoons of tomato paste (30 calories for 2 tablespoons) 100 grams of reduce fat grated cheese (I use either the weight watchers and if I don't find weight watchers I usually select any cheese that contains 3% fat only.

An alternative healthier way to enjoy egg fried rice/ 207 calories for 1 cup of egg fried rice

Hello readers, Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is not as easy as it sounds. It requires a lot of effort and most of the times planning ahead. However there are those times that the constant  lack of time and those non stop cravings  make it harder for you not to dial that fast food number. Most food experts say that food cravings last only for 30 seconds and if you occupied yourself enough eventually you will just forget it. I say no if you want to eat something that you crave really badly then go ahead and eat it but with a smart way. Not only there is an alternative healthier way to satisfy your craving but a more financial sustainable way as well and it doesn't take that much time. After all the most important asset you have is your health and that is your first priority to invest. If your time is limited I suggest you to invest in a rice cooker as it takes 15 minutes to 20 minutes maximum  perfect rice without you being stack in the kitchen. If you are a fan of the chinese c

Hello readers! I hope you doing well!  If you are here just for the recipe only, then please scroll further down. I know is been a long time since my last post! Don't worry I am doing great. As most of you may know I use my blogs as a hobby and as way to express myself. If you are with me from the beginning then you know I struggle with depression and PTSD but I am doing a lot better now and becoming more active as a member in society. Since I have somehow recovered from my struggles with mental illness I am now in the process of catching up with the world around me. Which it is a challenge and this is why I am not keeping up to my blogging schedule. Most probably I will not keep to my blog schedule!  Now let's move on to the main theme of my blog which is the sweet and sour pork recipe. After recovering with depression I had to teach myself how to eat healthy again so I downloaded an application to help me count my calories. Important note to that is to recognize the g

1 minute chocolate cake recipe

Hello readers, Lately I have been dreaming and thinking about chocolate nonstop! So one rainy day I just couldn't resist those cravings anymore, but I didn't really wanted to go to the shop and buy chocolate.
