This section will focus on one of my favourite categories that fits both into Self Care & Self Love- Cooking!!!
For a couple years you may have seen that I’ve been posting Quick Easy Meals. I am absolutely NOT a health nut nor do I claim to be! Should I be? That’s up to each Individual. I choose to be happy and in the moment.
Whether it be breakfast lunch or dinner I will post a little budget friendly, feel good meals. You can count on them being tasty too!!
Do you find Cooking to be fun? If not can I offer some insight on what i do?
I have to say that I have always been obsessed with my face and maintaining the idea of youthfulness!!
Right now I have taken on a mens product line to help reduce darkness and rejuvenate my skin. @Brickellmensproducts has been a treat for my face to say the least! $10 got me their sampler pack and trust me for a 14 day trial of the product it’s the perfect amount! Currently I am on day 7 and I’ve not felt better in a long time.
Self Care and feeling alive is key to daily living I reckon. So check them out give them a try!! https://www.instagram.com/p/CZKLNAFuVhR/?utm_medium=copy_link

K K so check out the video! I fell in LUST with Kombucha. I cut out the POP and switched to the gut healthy snack drink. Water, Tea Leaves, Sugar and a substance called SCOBY ( symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast) NO you won’t turn into VENOM 😂 but your stomach will lift weights for ya!
i added this to the shooing section because Kombucha helped me transition from pop to other beverages that suited my pallet! Not an easy task. They range in flavours, brands and prices! Kevita Master Brew Pineapple, is fabulous at $5 a bottle
GT’s Enlighten Organic Raw Trilogy, Rocks at average price $4
RISE KOMBUCH, Blueberry Maple is delicious $3 approximately
Cheap Easy and Filling with Probiotics as a key factor in healthy gut.
The idea here if the videos would work properly hopefully soon for anyone who comes to read/view lol
Is to promote easy quick ( didn’t say heathy) meals that are budget friendly and tasty fun! I love food and I think one of the best times of day is when I get to be in the kitchen! Whether this be cooking with others or on my own, the creativity is fabulously exciting but also sometimes the simplest easy dish is a go too must! Above is none other than Hamburger Helper yep folks a $5 prepackaged noodle sauce kit $7 bag of ground meat and hot water some times milk and 💥 easy quick meal! I added peas and corn to that one, but usually one doesn’t need to add a thing. Im not recreating the wheel here folks, simply reminding you to save money, try different easy things and get on with your evening! 😉
Today was a day for the books. Some of you may know that my profession is one that works within Human Services throughout the city. An occupation of the mind at times I reckon. So I’m keeping tonight’s Quick Easy Meals #simple

This month i partook in a fundraising activity to assist in helping distribute fresh water to nations that do not have free access to so so. Todays first message is simple, be grateful we have this luxury. Remember to donate or speak up for a cause that speaks truest to your heart. I’ve done this a few times before and I stand by the charities that thrive to provide fresh water.

Quick Easy Meals Idea came from watching some people eat out all the time. I’ve heard excuses like no time, don’t know how to cook and not changing their consumption up ever!! #scarythought YUP these things I’ve heard, so I started to share on me Insta @nevetskarma the meals i make on a regular basis.
People started liking and commenting and that made me feel good. Even if they are just being nice. Quick Easy was true to form, not necessarily Healthy but #quick #cheap #easy

The Bay or Hudson’s Bay Company is not only one of my past careers it is also one of the absolute best gems for shopping I’ve ever had.
This picture was from the unique store in Banff Alberta. As I strolled through the boutique store I was captivated back to the memories I had while working there. Here’s what I tell everyone who literally does not know the excellence this store has to offer. One can literally find the cheapest sales as they have them almost every day! There are always bargain racks in every department. I kid you not!
Quality- Fashioned- Pocket Friendly.
I’ve gotten all from Bed & Bath, Soft Home small appliances kitchen needs shoes mens clothing all discounted. Clinique is in my opinion the best option in the beauty department but that’s just my opinion 🤤
Take a moment and take a stroll I promise you with a hint of curiosity you will find something you've secretly been searching for!

Fabulous people I have been cooking up a storm lately! I go into spurts of chef frenzy. Ha
so let me share with you my secret yet also alluding to a recipe I’ll share after this….
Uh HUH you guessed right those are limes! Prep your next HAM with pineapple juice in the dish with fresh cut limes stuck to the HAM
I cook my ham for 2 hours almost every time. I am a real well done meat kinda guy! The Lime Ham and pineapple juice cost $20 unfortunately due to rising food prices. However YOU must add on vegetable of choice as you see I did green beans. Then simple scalloped potatoes 🥔 🥔
Now for the absolute best recipe I’ve ever made and altered for my own taste- the Warm Pineapple Sauce recipe that is sure to satisfy your hunger desires:
INGREDIENTS
1 (20-oz) can crushed pineapple in juice
1 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon mustard
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¼ teaspoon sea salt
INSTRUCTIONS
Whisk pineapple, brown sugar, mustard, lemon juice, cornstarch, and sea salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes until thickened. Serve warm.
NOTE: If you're using this as a topping for sweet dishes, you'll want to cut the mustard way back or leave it out all together.
Add in YOUR taste delight secret 🤫 I’ll tell you mine when you JOIN and message me 😜
