My beautiful self in the cafe I missed the taste of fluffy pancakes, perfectly made waffles, sweet syrup and scrambled eggs. That was the obvious sign that I needed some brunching done. Since I'm still learning about places to satisfy my cravings, I was stoked to know my friend Bella knew just the right place to get our brunch on. So we went to The Charcoal Grill , they serve inter-continental, seafood, vegetarian and off the grill options.

I love brunch with friends because nothing beats a great venue, waffles and a great conversation in broad daylight, especially in the summer (I know we don't have summe...

Have you skipped eating everything that gives you pleasure (Ice cream, chocolate, pizza and cookies) just to lose weight but it seems like it isn't working? I feel the pain and the struggle, that used to be me. If you know me personally, you know I used to be bigger than I am now and it was really annoying. The comments from church and extended family member saying "Bibi, take it easy you will soon burst" or "you are getting fatter and fatter" or "have you tried using slim tea"😑😑. I always mumble under my breathe "thank you I have a mirror at home" or "can you just mind your business", sometimes I just walk away. I was frustrated and the negative comments were not helpful at all. I know the struggle and I have been able to work hard to shed some weight off. Here are some tips that helped me lose 15 kg (35 pounds) recently: Meal prep I understand that it is almost impossible to eat out and stay healthy or lose weigh...
