Update on my meal subscription boxes!

 Chefs plate is so yummy! Here are some pictures of what I have had so far! I have gotten boxes from 2 separate weeks! I chose the 2 meal and 2 portion option. It is just my son and I here so that was enough. There was plenty for us in each meal, I even had extra to eat later as left overs.

First week, sorry I forgot to get photos of the first meal we had, it was good the "English beef cottage pie" I did change it a bit to suit my own preferences, the meat recommended putting oil, I didn't add any and it called for some of the potato water to be saved, if I were to get that again I would do that either!

 

Second week - Was super delicious!  Tomorrow I am making the next meal from the second week and will get photos to update here! 

Thanks for stopping by I think this is a Canadian food subscription box at the moment, but they might have international options or recommendations!

Take care

Ann

Some updates!

 Hello everyone, how are you all doing?

I applied to a course online, it's a classic eyelash extension course! I am kind of excited, I was discouraged at first. If you are not required to have physical training in a school nor a license here is the link to the online course, it's legit and very hands on, you also have to be tested and send in photos of your work to be tested!

I found out that my province doesn't accept online certifications for any cosmetology services. So I am planning to go back to beauty school and take a Makeup and Classic Eyelash Extension course in a physical school, and to get Certified as well as pass a provincial exam for a professional license to work, as that is required to be able to offer the services professionally where I am located and in my Province. 

I will keep you updated on this in the future, but for now I will resume my regular blogging posts. Motivational Monday blogs will resume next week, I was just too excited to not sure this information! For now I have to  get accepted at the school of my choice and get accepted for the student loan! I will keep you posted as things happen!

Here is what I got in my free kit that comes with the online course:

I do have some personal advice for safety reasons! 

DISCLAMER I m not a professional! NEVER DO YOUR OWN LASHES! I don't care how confident you are, please do not use professional eyelash extension adhesives/glues on yourself, you could cause  blindness, they have strong fumes so the eyes must be fully closed so it doesn't seep into the eye lids to the eye ball, you could also risk getting the product itself in your eyeball. PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT on yourself, I might not be a professional eyelash tech yet, but I know enough to know it is very harmful to attempt on yourself.

There are links in the post containing referral or affiliate links, I might get a small percentage of the cost of purchases from these links! If you click the links and buy from them, thank you for your support!

Thank a great day and thanks for reading and making it this far!

Motivational Monday! March/8/2021

 

Hello everyone, how is you week going?

Have you motivated yourself daily? 

Have you found or created an affirmation/self motivating quote?

Do you have a goals check list for your future to help you stay focused?

My last Motivational Monday(last week March/1/2021) was explaining a little bit about visions boards, have you created one or put anything ideas in place to create one?

What do you feel you are slacking on, or lacking to motivate you? Try focusing on those things.

Set little reminders if you need those in place to help motivate you and give you a specific thing(s) to focus on.

If your list is super long(in your eyes) then pick one thing at a time, give yourself the time you feel you need to get all of them each. Over time you will start to develop a habit of doing the things if you set a reminder/schedule for them. Feel free to do the ones most important to you 1st! Even if it takes you a year or more to have some of them met and or completed, be gentle with yourself and accept that not all things happen over night and that that is okay! 

It's okay if you take longer than others, as long as you complete what you have chosen to focus on that positively will motivate you for your future! 

Love yourself! It's okay to be a little selfish at times, it will keep you in charge of yourself and what you need. Yes being there for others counts, but what would they(family/children/lover) have if not for you? You MUST make a YOU time! Even if it's only for an hour or 2 a DAY! It's important! You are important, and are worthy of giving yourself some you time daily!

Whatever form of self care you need, take the time each day to have that time! 

Have a great week!

Ann

Motivational Monday! March/1/2021

 

Hello everyone! How are you all doing? How has life been treating you!? I hope all is well and you have moments in each day that you appreciate!

Have you heard of a vision board?

A vision board is a collage of things you want to achieve in your future. You can get images from the internet and print them out, or you can find images in magazines!

Some ideas of subjects can be:

A car similar to what you want.

A heart if you hope you find love.

A graduation cap, if you choose you want to higher your education.

A pot of gold, if you are wishing to have more money in your future, money can be a struggle for many.

A house

You can paste words/quotes here and there t focus on:

Love

Happy

"You're great"

"You're worth it"

Luck

$$$

Things like that are a good start, I have used a few of those for my own. I put mine on a square of Bristol board, I cut to a size I wanted because they can be quite large. I used to have a vision board on my computer, but I found I didn't have it in view to focus on during the day, I would have to pull it up and that become forgotten over time! It's pretty hard to keep things always in focus if you don't have it in full view all the time, you know? 

If you would like more ideas there are plenty online, but I recommend starting with a list of your wants written in a journal or note book and looking for images that come to mind when you read those goals/wants.

Thanks

What to know!

I am going to try this, You can get from 2 to 4 meals per week and from 1 to 4 people! They have vegetarian dishes as well!

I really enjoyed these, my only issues was I live in an apartment building and they'd leave it outside where anyone could come and take it.

They have meat and veg, vegetarian, and family friendly to choose during ordering your first box!

Here are some images from the site, this is from the list of meals I can choose from in their meat and veg selection which I chose while placing my order and picking my meals!

You will receive a box of fresh ingredients and delicious recipes every week. If you wish to skip a week of your subscription, you have until 11:59pm PST the Wednesday before your next delivery to update your delivery schedule in your Chefs Plate account.
