  Apricot chicken filo pastry is one of my favourite comfort meals and it is surprisingly easy to make.  chicken breast or tenderloins dried apricots  cream cheese  filo pastry  olive oil apricot jam Dice up your chicken and apricots I like to use about half a bag of dried apricots but you can experiment until you find the perfect amount for yourself.  Use the olive oil in a pan and cook the chicken completely.  Mix the cream cheese (I use 2 pots of it) and half a jar of apricot jam together. Add the cooked chicken and the cut up apricots and mix.  Fill up the filo pastry with the mixed goodness and cook in the oven until the filo pastry is golden and enjoy.

 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 

 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.

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....
