Stop Waiting for Lemons

Stop Waiting for Lemons Make a change before life gives you lemons! I am a IT geek, health freak and proud mom of two awesome kids.

After going through some lemonade making, I started actively encouraging people to take charge of their health. Don't wait for a horrible diagnosis, specially not the preventable one. Small steps can lead to huge difference and all of us can gather enough strength for one small step at the time.

✨ Unlock Radiant Skin with Rice Water – Nature’s Secret Elixir! ✨

Did you know that the milky water left behind after rinsing or boiling rice can transform your skincare routine? 🌾 For centuries, Asian beauty traditions have praised rice water for its ability to brighten, soothe, and rejuvenate skin naturally – and now it’s your turn to try it! 💧

🌿 Here’s why rice water is AMAZING for your skin:
✅ Brightens and fades dark spots
✅ Hydrates and soothes irritated skin
✅ Firms and smooths fine lines
✅ Minimizes pores and balances oil

But here’s the fun part – there’s not just ONE way to make rice water. Each type has its own magic:

🍚 1. Soaked Rice Water (Quick & Easy)
Perfect for daily use!

Rinse ½ cup of rice thoroughly.

Soak it in 2–3 cups of clean water for 30 minutes.

Strain and store in a jar in the fridge (up to 5 days).
💡 Use it as a face rinse, toner, or spritz it on like a mist.

🔥 2. Cooked Rice Water (Thicker & Nourishing)
Great as a mask base or deep hydration treatment.

Cook rice as usual, using more water than needed.

Once the rice is soft, strain out the starchy water.

Let it cool and store it in the fridge (lasts 3–4 days).
💡 Apply with a cotton pad, leave on for 10–15 mins, then rinse.

🧪 3. Fermented Rice Water (Power-Packed & Potent)
Best for anti-aging and acne-prone skin!

Make soaked rice water first.

Leave it at room temp in a jar for 1–2 days until it starts to smell slightly sour.

Then refrigerate it to slow down fermentation.
💡 Dilute before using! It's more concentrated and rich in enzymes.

✨ Your skin deserves a natural glow-up – and it’s just a cup of rice away. 💖 Have you tried rice water before? Let us know which type you’re most excited to use in the comments! 👇

I’ve never had much trouble swallowing those horse-sized pills—but give me a teeny tiny one and I’m suddenly reenacting a choking scene from a medical drama 🙈

So naturally, I started wondering: how on earth will I teach my 5-year-old to swallow pills one day?

And because the FB algorithm can now read minds (creepy but helpful), a video popped up with a trick that BLEW. MY. MIND. 🤯

Here it is:
Pop the pill in your mouth, take a sip of water... and instead of tilting your head back, tilt it forward, like you’re admiring your shoes 👟💁‍♀️—then swallow.

Just tried it—TOTAL GAME CHANGER.
Like… why did no one tell us this in health class!?

Dropping this little gem here in case any fellow mamas are dealing with mini-pill panic or prepping for pill-skill training 🧒💊❤️

This morning a cyclist lost her life due to a driver opening a door without checking the mirror.

I wanted to share something my driving instructor taught me way back in the '90s. Whenever I parked parallel, he insisted I open the driver’s door with my opposite hand—the left hand when driving on the left side of the road (like here). At the time, I thought it was such a strange habit, but as I began sharing the road with cyclists, I grew to appreciate its importance.
By using your opposite hand, your body naturally rotates, encouraging you to look back. It also slows you down, preventing you from flinging the door open too quickly. This small adjustment can make all the difference—it can save a life. Sadly, that wasn’t the case this morning.
Please, let’s all take that extra moment to check. It’s such a simple habit, but it could mean everything to someone else.

PS. Due to several requests to make the post sharable on few groups, I made a little iconographic to raise awareness

Let’s face it - not everyone in your circle is helping you level up. Some people are anchors, holding you down when you’re ready to set sail. And while you can try to change their ways, you’ll often end up frustrated, exhausted, and no closer to the dream team you deserve.

Here’s the hard truth: not everyone is meant to grow with you. If someone constantly drains your energy, doubts your goals, or brings negativity into your life, it’s time to reevaluate their role in your story.

Surround yourself with people who inspire, support, and challenge you to be better. Find those who cheer for your wins, pick you up when you fall, and share a vision for a brighter, bolder future. You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with—make sure they’re rock stars, not roadblocks.

Remember, your vibe attracts your tribe. Choose wisely. And if it’s not working, don’t be afraid to turn the page and start a new chapter with a new crowd. Life’s too short for mediocrity—especially in your relationships.

💡 Pro tip: Keep the ones who make you laugh and make you think. That’s a rare combo!

To help keep your child safe, be cautious about where you display their name. When their name is visible on items like backpacks, clothing, or lunchboxes, it can make them more vulnerable to strangers who might use that information to gain their trust. Consider using initials or other unique markers instead, so your child stays protected while still having personalized belongings. A small change can make a big difference in their safety.

I just have to share this unexpected WOWness! 🤭

Due to recent craziness, I didn't have time to plan the food and the entire week had a holistic approach - the right food will find us 🤣
Today, I had just 10 min to plop something in the oven, so I zoomed together grated sweet potato, one crumbled disk of feta cheese, big grab-grab of spinach cut into very small pieces and small amount of grated cheddar cheese. Got a niiiiice dash of olive oil to distribute through all so that it would bake more than it would cook. Covered with mixture of 4 eggs, salt, 0.5 cup of milk and 0.5 cup of whipping cream (yup - remains of the birthday cake). Baked at 200C.

And wow! What came out! The crispiness mixed with mild sweetness - the spirit of good old spinach and feta things came out to haunt us with a twist.

Give me a shout if you make it ❤

xoxo

PS. Top with a bit of yogurt
PS #2 Feel free to not listen to that advice, I'm Serbian, I'll plop yogurt over any food 😆
