10 Exciting Alternatives to Maggi Cubes
These vegan-friendly alternatives to maggie cube are great for plant-based cooking Maggi cube is a popular flavoring enhancer or bouillon, that can be found all over the world. Before Maggi came around, West African cooks used fermented locust beans called iru in Nigeria and dawadawa in Ghana. Maggi is a brand, however, it has become a stand-alone noun in my Nigerian household. Maggi can come in cubes, powder, sauce, or packets. The closest competitor is Knorr, owned by Uniliver. Maggi is owned by Nestle. Unfortunately, beef and chicken flavor maggie have taken over the market. Here are 8 alternatives to maggi cube: 1. Maggi Cube Huh. I thought this was about alternatives to ...
3 Lessons I Learned While Unemployed
The 3 lessons I learned while unemployed were crucial 3 Lessons I Learned While Unemployed. As of two months ago, I found myself out of work. I was sent an email the previous night to meet for a 9 am meeting the morning of 6/12. I did not fret too much about the message. It read along the lines of almost like a promotion. It talked about the growing changes within the organization and how I would fit into the puzzle (well I guess reading it now, it could go both ways). Oddly enough, I had scheduled an interview that morning. Which I want to pause and say, 'If you ever sense that things aren't right, trust your gut' I sensed that we'd go a second year without a pay increase, ...
After Three Years of Sephora's VIB Rouge, Here is Where I Plan to Purchase My Makeup
Sephora has a hold on the beauty market, but now my eyes have opened Sephora's VIB Rouge is certainly a feat to accomplish. Three years in a row is impressive. In order to to get this "elite" status, you would need to purchase $1000 USD worth of product. Hear me out here. This was a time when I was trying to get better acquainted with skincare, and when beauty gurus were SELLING the product. How can I watch Jackie Aina and not get tempted to run and get a foundation to match my skin to a T! However, now that I am well into my third year, the sparkle is not as grand anymore. And it looks like Sephora has cheapened the title a bit by limiting the benefits. Now that I'm in major ...
Budgeting Made Easy: The Loose Budget
Budgeting does not have to be so hard Budgeting is hard, period. I know this because I've used multiple apps, and spreadsheet so that I can get my life together. Unfortunately I've never really stuck to them except for You Need A Budget (more on this another time). It wasn't up until recently did I establish a new flow - separate and spend wisely. Separate and Spend? Yes - you separate your money from the standard monthly payments like bills and obligations from your fun money or slightly variable costs. Now this is best for people who likely do not own a home, because you never really know what's going to break that month. Probably not best for people with children, as we don't know ...
NYC Preferential Rent, Does Not Really Mean Rent Stabilized
I fell into the trap of a greedy landlord with preferential rent, here is my story: 2016 I felt it was my best year. I was 26, and I felt like I had a lot going for myself. I've saved up a substantial amount with the hopes of buying a home, I had paid off a lot of my debt, I decided to apply to grad schools. I had also put my foot down and have started expressing myself more in relationships (it worked). Most importantly, I was able to move forward with my plans of buying a home only to shift the approach and rent instead. New York City apartment search is never fun, I had a strict budget with goals to move out by July 2016. I searched high and low on StreetEasy, HotPad, and many ...
