2023 goals how I did

 Recap of my 2023 goals: Sell stuff I no longer need Save $1000  Be more consistent across my YouTube channels and podcast  Wrote 100,000 words Publish all of my hybrid series Finish writing all unfinished books Edit 2 books  How I did? I managed to publish all of my hybrid series within the first month of 2023, I managed to write the only unfinished book I had sitting there waiting to be written and managed to edit it all by June 2023. I then started writing and editing another book which I just finished in November 2023.  I didn’t manage to write 100k words I only hit 78k but that’s still good enough to me.  I did manage to be more consistent on YouTube but I stopped making my podcast as consistently.  I managed to sell half the stuff I no longer needed, saved over 1000 dollars 

Ways to take care of your skin for acne

 I have struggled with acne ever since I was a preteen and it’s never gotten better but here are my tips I have found to help take care of your skin with acne.  Keep your skin clean. Gently wash your face up to twice daily and after sweating. Choose a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser. Stick to your treatment. Keep your hands off. Take off your makeup before you go to sleep. When buying makeup, make sure you choose brands that say "noncomedogenic" or "nonacnegenic" on the label. Throw away old makeup that smells or looks different from when you first bought it. Protect your skin from the sun. It may seem like a tan hides acne, but it's only temporary. A tan may worsen your acne, not improve it. Tanning also causes damage to skin that will eventually lead to wrinkles and increase your risk of skin cancer.

My cleaning routine

I used to struggle really badly with keeping my house clean especially after my daughter was born and she started to actually destroy the house but now I have a routine and product’s that work and I’m going to share them with you today.  My routine: Every day I clean my dishes, tidy the floor up of my living room, and pick up anything that has made its way into my hallway.  On a Monday I clean my kitchen and change the cat litter On Tuesday I clean my daughters room and change her bed sheets On Wednesday I clean under my couch, vacuum the living room, and tidy up anything else in my living room as well as take my kitchen and living room rubbish out to the bin On a Thursday I clean my bathroom, remove the rubbish and change the cat litter.  On a Friday I clean my room, remove the rubbish and make my bed.  On a Saturday I vacuum my whole house and mop my floors then on Sunday I take the day off from cleaning to rest.  I do a load of washing whenever it is needed.  My favourite products:

My business

 I started my business in 2020 selling dreamcatchers which didn’t really work out too well so in 2022 I decided to start a Redbubble store and since then I have seen an increase of sales and have slowly grown my business.  I run a tiktok and Instagram page to advertise it.  My plan for the future is to open my own shop and instead of using redbubble I will sell my photography and designs by myself in the store and even move back into dreamcatchers and jewellery. 

Life hacks

 1.) Tie a small piece of bright colored fabric to your luggage. Saves a lot of time to check if its your bag or not. 2.) For people who use their phone to watch things often and are tired of leaning it onto something where it will fall down after an hile: Use your sunglasses! 3.) Bounce batteries to see if their good or bad. Drop them on a table from about 6 inches. If they give one small bounce and fall right over, their good. If they bounce around around any more than that, they're dead or on the way out. 4.) use a clean dustpan to fill a container that doesn’t fit in the sink 5.) Use a clothespin to hold a nail while hammering. 6.) USE A MUFFIN TIN TO SERVE CONDIMENTS AT A BBQ 7.) Use toilet paper rolls to make seed starter pots 8.) To make BLTS, or any toasted sandwich, place 2 slices of bread in a single toaster slot. This way, the bread gets warm and toasty on the outside, but stays soft and chewy on the inside 9.) PUT A WOODEN SPOON ACROSS A BOILING POT OF WATER TO KEEP IT

My top 3 go to recipes and how to make them

  Mac and cheese: Macaroni ·   Butter  and  flour : ·   Milk ·   Cheese ·   Seasonings : Salt and pepper goes into the sauce, while paprika is sprinkled over the topping. 1. Boil the noodles : Boil the macaroni in salted water until the noodles are al dente. Drain and transfer to a prepared baking dish. 2.   Make the cheese sauce : Melt butter, then whisk in the flour. Whisk in the milk, bring to a simmer, and stir in the cheeses. Season with salt and pepper and continue simmering until the sauce is thick. Pour the sauce over the noodles and stir. 3. Make the topping : Spread the topping over the macaroni and cheese, then sprinkle with paprika. 4. Bake the mac and cheese : Bake in the preheated oven until the topping is golden brown.  Spaghetti Bolognese: Add hot water to a pot and add desired amount of fettuccine pasta and veg I like to add peas, corn, carrot and beans and add some salt.   Add mince and oil I use venison to frying pan and add a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic, and ginge

Typical day in my life

  I don’t have a set time I wake up but usually I’m up between 6:30 and 8:30 it really depends on how the night before went with baby to what time I wake up.  Each morning I start my day by turning a kids program on for my daughter to watch while I enjoy my morning coffee. I then make something for my daughter to eat (I don’t eat breakfast it makes me feel sick to eat first thing in the morning).  Once she is sat down eating breakfast I tidy the living room floor from the day before I then do my dishes and tidy up my hallway before cleaning which ever room it is that day to be cleaned.  At this point it is time for my daughters nap so I put her down to bed before hanging up any washing from the night before or taking my rubbish out to the bin if it’s rubbish day. If neither of them apply I tend to lay in my bed and take a nap myself.  Once my daughter wakes up I start making lunch for us we then sit down and listen to some music and eat before going on our daily walk if the weather all
