Salmon bowl

Salmon bowl

I did this salmon bowl a few days ago and it was delicious. Underneath it’s quinoa, then salmon, mango, tomatoes, avocado, onion and the sauce is yogurt with salt and garlic powder! And on top, sesame seeds! :) it’s a 10/10

Acne: Treat It Now or Wait Until It Clears on Its Own?

I’ve been struggling with acne lately and I’m really confused about what to do.

Should I go for proper treatment, or just leave it and hope it clears up naturally after 20?

Some people say it gets better with age, while others recommend early treatment to avoid scars and long-term skin issues.

What do you think is the better approach? Have you experienced something similar?

Shakshuka is a fantastic for quick dinner

This was sooo tasty.

Edit: Recipe - the recipe feeds 4!

  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 white onion
  • 1 bell pepper
  • 5 cloves of garlic
  • 780ish g tomatoes (I used large salad tomatoes, but you can use tinned)
  • 500g tomato passata (you can use plain, or one with herbs already added)
  • Cumin (approx 6g)
  • Chilli powder (approx 3g)
  • Paprika (approx 10g)
  • Fresh parsley and coriander for garnish
  • Eggs

Cook the onion and bell pepper in the oil until the onions go soft, then add the garlic and dried spices. Cook for a few minutes on a medium heat, then add the tomatoes. Cook again for 5-10 minutes (or until the tomatoes have started to soften). Finally, add the tomato passata, and allow it to simmer for a little bit. (Not very precise, sorry!)

Then you poach your eggs in the sauce.

Salt and pepper to taste!

Enjoy!!

How much avocado is actually healthy? 🥑

I know avocados are considered super healthy, but I’m curious how much is too much?

Do you guys eat a whole avocado daily or just a few slices? I’ve heard they’re high in healthy fats, but also pretty calorie-dense.

Would love to know what amount works best for a healthy diet and weight balance.

Hey fellow Chicagoans! We all know the Chicago winters can be brutal freezing temps, dry air, and constant indoor heating can wreak havoc on our skin. If you have noticed your skin feeling dry, tight, or irritated lately, you are not alone! Here area few quick tips to help you keep your skin hydrated and glowing throughout the season:

1. Use a Humidifier at Home

The dry indoor air can really strip moisture from your skin. A humidifier helps add moisture back into the air and can keep your skin from getting too dry.

2. Switch to a Richer Moisturizer

Look for a moisturizer that contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid ceramides. These help lock in moisture and protect your skin's barrier.

3. Don't Skip Sunscreen, Even in Winter

The sun's UV rays can still damage your skin, even when its cold and cloudy. Keep using sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every day, especially if you are out for walk or heading to work.

4. Drink More Water

Hydration starts from the inside. Drinking plenty of water will help your skin maintain its natural glow, even in dry weather.

5 Take Shorter, Cooler Shower

Long, hot showers feel great in winter, but they can dry out your skin. Try to keep it short and use lukewarm water instead.
