#Correct foods to choose during fasting

[moonshotsx]

keep me up - anarcia (popstar au)

so, this is set after the stage prompt, a few days after while marcia is still on tour

*this contains smut*

--

"I'm sorry we are stuck in my room, but the chance of running into fans while out is too high".

Marcia explained as she walked further into her suite, while Anetra was left in awe at the luxury of it.

And there she thought the rooms she had been provided on tour were fancy: Marcia's suite had a goddamn hot tub in the middle of it.

"Hope you don't mind it?"

"What?" Anetra hadn't paid attention to a single word the blonde had said so far.

"Staying here? We can order food, I got gifted this bottle of champagne by the staff. There's no way I'm drinking all of this by myself," Marcia raised a rather massive dark bottle to show Anetra before setting it down on one of the tables.

"Oh, yeah, I don't mind. Are you going to order?"

"Pick whatever you want from the menu they left! I trust your taste, Netra," Marcia replied with a wink before disappearing into the bathroom.

Anetra walked up to the room service card, trying her best not to gawk at the stupidly expensive prices.

By the time the blonde had come back from her nighttime skincare routine, the choreographer had yet to choose something for the two of them to eat.

"Didn't find anything that caught your eye?"

"Quite the opposite, everything sounds so delicious... it's impossible to choose".

Marcia plopped on the couch, where Anetra had opted to sit down with the menu. She leaned over to take a peak at the list before looking up at the brunette with a mischievous smile.

"Then why choose? Let's get one of everything!"

-

"That risotto was to die for!" Marcia said once they had finished their impromptu dinner, a dozen of empty plates littering the coffee table.

"I didn't think it was possible to get a better slice of cheesecake in the entire city, but I stand corrected," Anetra commented as she filled her glass before taking a sip.

A welcomed silence filled the room before the singer spoke up.

"Thank you," she simply said.

"For what? I should be the one thanking you for the dinner".

"For... everything? It sounds so cliché-y, but it's been so long since I could just relax like this with someone I... like?"

Anetra looked down at her glass, swirling it. "You're not... joking, right?"

"What?" It was Marcia's time to be confused, "Why would I joke about liking you?"

The brunette bit her lower lip, "It's just that after we, you know, kissed... that day during rehearsals... You kind of avoided me unless we had to be in the same room with everyone else, I thought I had messed it up", she replied, the weight on her shoulders finally lifting as she acknowledged her feelings for the first time in forever.

"Netra..." Marcia felt her chest tighten as the admission, lifting her hand to cup Anetra's cheek and meeting the choreographer's sad puppy eyes, "I never meant to avoid you, work just got in the way, that's all. You didn't do anything wrong".

"Really?" Anetra's voice was quiet, but it didn't go unheard.

"If I didn't want you, would I do this?"

Marcia leaned forward, their lips meeting halfway.

Instinctively, Anetra placed her hand on the blonde's waist, before she deepened the kiss.

The latter took it as an invitation to straddle her, momentarily taking the brunette off guard.

The sudden lack of reaction worried Marcia before she broke off the kiss, both hands now cupping Anetra's face.

"You want this too, right?"

She was met with silence, not unusual from Anetra, but it wasn't what Marcia needed at that moment.

She lifted the brunette's chin, letting their eyes met. A tinge of worry flashed across the singer's eyes, worried she might have pushed things too fast.

"Netra? Let me hear you".

Anetra finally broke out of her trance, nodding repeatedly, "Yes, I want this... I want you".

Marcia smiled, a genuine smile.

"Okay".

She leaned forward. This time Anetra matched her energy, her hands slipped under the light cotton shirt.

The blonde's breath hitched at the contact.

"Sorry, cold hands," Anetra muttered, her fingers grazing her chest.

"I didn't say I mind it," Marcia chuckled as she took matter into her own hands and lifted her shirt over her head, "If anything, I was feeling too hot under it," she continued as Anetra stared at her naked chest.

"Nothing like yours," she joked, her hands resting on the brunette's shoulders.

"I didn't say I mind it," Anetra took the chance to parrot Marcia's words back at her before taking one of the pink nipples in her mouth and started to toy with it.

Marcia threw her head back, a gasp leaving her lips, "Fuck".

She buried her hands in Anetra's already messy dark hair in an attempt to bring her closer, moaning her name over and over.

Anetra focused all her attention on the soft skin in front of her, not letting an inch of it go untouched.

"Let's go to my bedroom," Marcia managed to moan out as she held onto the brunette.

"Which door?"

"Second on the left," was the last thing the singer said before Anetra got up, her arms lifting Marcia up with ease.

The walk to the bedroom was short but wobbly, the choreographer trying her best to navigate the hotel suite while having her neck kissed.

She managed to enter the right room before gently setting the blonde down.

Anetra panted as she started down at Marcia.

The singer laid on the bed, her top half, now littered with faint marks, was completely bare for her to see. Her hair messily framed her head, the golden locks resting on the pillows.

Marcia looked back at her with lidded eyes and blushed cheeks. Her hands almost posed up next to her face.

Anetra swore she had never seen something more beautiful in her life.

And that was why she was scared to ruin that beauty while she sat between Marcia’s slender legs, her hands resting on the bare sides, just above the hem of the blonde’s panties.

“Netra… please,” Marcia almost whined, her back arching ever so slightly to get some much-needed friction.

“What’s that, baby?”

“Come take what’s yours”.

Anetra didn't need to be told twice. She dove forward, starting from Marcia's neck and working her way down the singer's body until she reached the hem of her pajama shorts to take them off.

"Wait," Marcia breathed out.

"Did I do something-".

"It's not fair I'm the only one without clothes here," she smiled at the blush spreading over Anetra's face.

"Oh, right".

The brunette made quick work of her loose t-shirt and sweats, clumsily throwing them on the floor. She reached to unclasp her bra, letting out a satisfied groan.

"They are even better up close," Marcia muttered as her hands reached to cup Anetra's generous breasts. She loved the way they felt in her hands.

That was something she could get used to.

"I didn't peg you for a tits person, blondie".

"There are a lot of things you don't know about me... yet".

Anetra smiled, "Can't wait to find all about it".

She went back to kissing Marcia's toned stomach, taking her time to reach her navel. The latter lifted her hips to let Anetra take off the shorts and underwear in one go.

"What do you want me to use on you?" She asked while her hands caressed Marcia's thighs.

"Your mouth... please".

Anetra gave her a small nod before laying down between the blonde's open legs.

"Anything you want, princess," she replied before flattening her tongue against Marcia's already wet center.

She closed her eyes to focus on the taste of the singer, her arms hooked up around her thighs to make sure the latter wouldn't move too much.

Marcia arched her back when she felt Anetra's tongue on her entrance, languidly lapping around it. Every movement was decisive and calculated to make her moan in pleasure.

She buried one hands in Anetra's dark hair, tugging on it to spur her to go faster, but the brunette didn't budge.

She kept her pace just slow enough to drive Marcia crazy.

"You're stupidly good at this," the blonde said in between the moans, barely being able to form the sentence as Anetra started sucking on her clit.

The latter didn't reply, she smiled against Marcia's core before playfully biting the bundle of nerves.

"Fuck!"

Anetra looked up, meeting Marcia's pleading eyes. Her cheeks were blushed pink, a thin layer of sweat beading on her forehead.

A sight just for her eyes to see.

And what a sight it was.

It didn't take much longer for her to feel Marcia was close to her first release. Her breaths shortened, and her legs were tensing around Anetra's arms.

"I'm... I'm going to..."

The brunette didn't slow down her tongue, alternating the sucking with an occasional bite.

Moments later, she felt Marcia's entire body tense up as it was hit with an intense orgasm.

The singer's hands grabbed the bedsheets, her knuckles turning white from how hard she held onto them. A choked moan escaped her lips before she finally loosened up.

Anetra lifted her head fully, her lower lip and chin slightly shining under the dim lights. She wiped her thumb across it only to then take it up to Marcia's pouty lips.

They kept the eye contact as the blonde sucked the finger clean.

The brunette hovered over Marcia, her free hand tracing its way back up the soft skin until it reached her waist.

She leaned in to kiss her as the blonde instinctively went to cup her face.

A gentle soft touch, yet it carried so many unsaid feelings behind it.

"Stay here tonight, Netra?"

Marcia sounded so unsure of herself, as if she worried Anetra would disappear at any moment.

"Sure, I'll stay with you as long as you want me to".

Arcanist Leveling Cheat Sheet

How to Level Your Arcanist - Fast, Cheap, and Solo

The following is meant to be a straightforward and easy-to-follow guide to leveling an Elder Scrolls Online character in a single sitting, on the same day the character is made. It will work for classes other than Arcanist, but I will make recommendations for Arcanists specifically.

This guide is not comprehensive, you may wish to add other activities into you grind. Personally, I prefer to do those after my character is leveled to CP, so I just focus on getting to 50 with as many skill points as possible.

There are other options for leveling a character, but giving inexperienced players too many options can get overwhelming, so this guide is simple, streamlined, and effective for getting a well-rounded character.

Leveling this way will achieve level 50 in about 3 to 5 hours of gameplay and will help level skill lines and get extra skill points during that time, not just levels 4and attributes.

Check out the actual Excel-style cheat sheet here!

If you have tips or tricks you like to use, please drop them in the comments!

Race, Role, Attributes, Mundus, and Consumables

This guide is for leveling as a DPS as it’s the easiest way to level solo. I prefer to level as a DPS even if I intend to change my new character’s role later, as you can easily change all skills and attributes after leveling.

Choose the race that’s best for the role you want to play, even if it isn’t DPS.

Mundus: The Thief

If you’re struggling with low resources, switch to a sustain mundus:

Magicka: The Atronach

Stamina: The Serpent

Health: The Steed or The Lord

Here’s where you can find each mundus stone, and most guild halls also have all mundus stones available.

Food & Drink

These foods and drinks work for characters of any level so you will never need to change them. They are all reasonably affordable or free.

Magicka: Witchmother’s Potent Brew

Stamina: Dubious Camoran Throne

Either: Bewitched Sugar Skulls or Crown Fortifying Meal

Crown Fortifying Meals are often given away as daily login rewards. Now is a great time to use them up, they’re a perfect leveling food!

Potions

The easiest thing to do is use Crown Tri-Restoration Potions, which are great potions that work for any level character and are free daily login rewards. You may also choose to use "trash pots”, which are the magicka, stamina, or health potions you can loot off of enemies or purchase from NPC General Goods Merchants. NPC shop owners will present you with the correct level of potion for your character, making this an easy, inexpensive option. If you prefer to craft potions of spell or weapon power at the correct level for your character, go for it, but we’ll keep it simple here.

Experience Boosts

Gather up your experience scrolls! These are constantly given away as free daily login rewards. Stick them in your bank and withdraw them on your new character.

Grand Gold Coast Experience Scroll (150% XP boost for 1 hour)

Major Gold Coast Experience Scroll (100% XP boost for 1 hour)

Crown Experience Scroll (50% XP boost for 2 hours)

Alternatively, you can use Psijic Ambrosia, Aetherial Ambrosia, or Mythic Aetherial Ambrosia, but I don’t recommend it. These will stack with other food and drinks but they do not stack with experience scrolls, which are free and abundant. Ambrosia, by contrast, is very expensive.

Gear (Armor, Weapons, Jewelry)

Gear Qualities

Normal (White) (Cheapest)

Fine (Green)

Superior (Blue)

Epic (Purple)

Legendary (Gold) (Costliest)

Use the best gear quality you can afford up to Epic (Purple). This gear is disposable, don’t waste money making it Legendary (Gold) quality for this purpose. Normal (White) or Fine (Green) is totally fine, what matters most is which sets you’re using.

Highest Priority for Quality: Weapons, followed by large body pieces (head, chest, legs).

Lowest Priority for Quality: Jewelry is very expensive and upgrading low level equipment is not worth the return. Use Normal, or Fine at maximum.

Glyphs: Relatively inexpensive, try to use Epic or Superior.

Gear Sets

STAMINA CHARACTERS

MAGICKA CHARACTERS

Adjust as needed based on what you have available for each piece. As long as you have 5 Order’s Wrath and 5 Heartland Conqueror active at all times, with a 2-piece for weapon and spell damage, you’re fine.

Upgrading

Training gear needs to be upgraded periodically. Low level gear will be weak on higher level characters. Optimally, make gear for every 10 levels (1, 10, 20, 30, 40). If you prefer fewer sets, every 20 levels (1, 20, 40) is fine. Backbar is unlocked at level 15. Make your first backbar weapon level 14.

More Info

A bit more information about these sets, with alternatives. Feel free to skip this part if you don’t need it.

Weapon & Jewelry Set: Order’s Wrath (High Isle, 3 traits) This is the best crafted set for DPS in ESO, and requiring only 3 traits, almost any crafter can make it.

Body Set: Heartland Conqueror (Blackwood, 7 traits) This set doubles the bonus of the Training trait on your weapons, increasing that XP bonus from 9% to 18%. We’re putting this on the body because it requires 7 traits, and armor traits are easier to come by.

Alternative sets requiring fewer traits: Law of Julianos (Wrothgar, 6 traits), Sload’s Semblance (Summerset, 6 traits), Hunding’s Rage (Base Game, 6 traits), Claw of the Forest Wraith (Galen, 5 Traits), Innate Axiom (Clockwork City, 2 traits)* *If you use Innate Axiom as a 5-piece set, do not use it as your 2-piece set.

2-Piece Set: Innate Axiom (Clockwork City, 2 traits) Any set with a 2-piece bonus of weapon and spell damage will work. (Weapon and spell damage is better than critical damage in this slot.) Innate Axiom requires the fewest traits.

Alternative 2-Piece Set Options: Diamond’s Victory, Dragon’s Appetite, Oblivion’s Foe, Pelinal’s Wrath, or Red Eagle’s Fury

Note: I had originally intended to give an alternative option of overland sets for those who can’t get crafted sets. I was unable to find most overland gear in my chosen sets in levels below level 160 so I can’t recommend this.

Skills / Abilities

Class Skills

While you’re leveling and gaining more skill points, you’ll want to fill out the Herald of the Tome skill line first. This is the DPS skill line for Arcanists. (Remember, this can be changed later if you want to play a different role.)

Choose your preferred morphs as the abilities rank up, but here are the suggested morphs for DPS:

Runeblades > Writhing Runeblades 

Fatecarver > Exhausting Fatecarver

Abyssal Impact > Cephaliarch's Flail

Tome-Bearer's Inspiration > Inspired Scholarship

The Imperfect Ring > Fulminating Rune

The Unblinking Eye > The Languid Eye (Ultimate)

You will also want to begin taking passives under Herald of the Tome as you gain skill points. Simply take them as they become available.

If you need defensive skills, Curative Runeforms is the healing skill line and  Soldier of Apocrypha is the tanking skill line. You can add some easy defense to your bar with:

Soldier of Apocrypha > Runespite Ward > Impervious Runeward

Curative Runeforms > Runemend > Evolving Runemend

Curative Runeforms > Remedy Cascade > Cascading Fortune

Curative Runeforms > Chakram Shields >  Tidal Chakram

Racial Passives, Armor Passives, Weapon Abilities, and Fighter’s Guild

While leveling, you’ll also want to take skills from other lines as they become available. Use your best judgement about what you need as you’re playing, but here are some suggested priorities.

Racial passives (All) >  Skip any skills useless for leveling.

Armor passives > Light Armor (Evocation, Spell Warding, Prodigy, Concentration) > Medium Armor (Dexterity, Wind Walker, Agility)

Weapon abilities > Bow > Volley > Arrow Barrage > Destruction Staff > Wall of Elements > Unstable Wall > Destruction Staff > Force Shock > Crushing Shock > Dual Wield (Daggers) > Blade Cloak > Deadly Cloak > Two-Handed (Greatsword) > Critical Charge > Stampede > Two Handed (Greatsword) > Cleave > Carve

Fighter’s Guild (More about this in Leveling) > Trap Beast > Barbed Trap > Expert Hunter > Camouflaged Hunter > Dawnbreaker > Flawless Dawnbreaker

Leveling

Leveling this way will achieve level 50 in about 3 to 5 hours of gameplay and will help level skill lines and get extra skill points during that time, not just levels and attributes.

Create your character. Your character will be level 3 when complete, whether or not you skip the tutorial.

Unlock Fighter’s Guild. (How to join the Fighter's Guild.) You will want to level this skill line while leveling your character. You can skip this if you don't plan to play DPS or PVP.

Grinding

Use your XP scroll and set a timer for its end time so you can refresh this buff.

Do not join a group if leveling solo. Popular grind spots will often see people grouping up with strangers, but if you do, you won't be able to use the Group Finder for random dungeons.

Group for a Random Normal Dungeon using the Group Finder. Set your role to Damage. (Don't fake another role! It's not only rude, it won't help you here because you want downtime between dungeons.)

Each time you get a dungeon you have not done before, be sure to take the quest at the beginning and complete it. This will give you a skill point each time.

Choose a grinding location to gain XP while you wait for your dungeon to pop. (More Below.) The recommended grinding locations have plenty of daedra and/or undead, which level your Fighter's Guild skill line.

Continue cycling through random dungeons and your grinding location until you've achieved level 50.

Grind Locations

Craglorn Spellscar

This location is usually very populated and has relatively high-level overland enemies. Overland enemies are worth more experience than other types. It's excellent for characters with unleveled mounts as it's small and easy to travel across on foot. The smallest area with the easiest enemies is the fire area. It's very easy to get massive XP doing circles here.

Alik’r Dolmens

This is probably the most popular XP grind in ESO. Each of the Dark Anchor dolmens in Alik'r is very near a wayshrine, so it's easy to cycle from one to the next. This offers a great deal of XP but may be harder for characters who don't have leveled mounts because the dolmens go down quickly and it's easier to ride from the wayshrine to the dolmen mounted.

Duo Grind Locations

For use if you want to group with one friend. This still works while cycling through random dungeons. These locations are better for more experienced players. You can also use the solo grinding spots with a friend.

Skyreach Catacombs

Blackrose Prison

Do you have any advice for preparing to get phallo/the process leading up to it? Also any advice on staying stealth while getting the surgeries done? I'm currently stealth and am looking to get phallo if/when I can afford it, but I don't know where to begin or how to not out myself to people during the whole thing.

Okay, lots to answer here. We will start with phallo prep. Alright, so one of the first things you have to think about is your donor site. You have a few options: forearm, lower back, and thigh. You want sensitive skin because this will form your member. And if course making sure you are healthy, no smoking, etc.

I chose my forearm. No matter where you pick, hair removal is important. For example: check the inside of your non dominant arm and see how hairy it is. They use the inside of your forearm to make the urethra. We don't want fissures, so most important for hair removal is your inner forearm. You can easily stay stealth while prepping your donor site with hair removal. Lots of people "don't like body hair". Or "I really want this tattoo to be perfectly visible". You don't need to offer a lot of information, people really dont care. "I want to prep my arm for a tattoo sleeve, and i dont want the hair to grow back and wreck the design". But lets be honest, they are in the busy of hair removal and they want you there. They dont care why lol. Explaining the scarring on the forearm after phallo: I say I burned my arm working at one of my first jobs in fast food. People have never questioned me. In fact, they usually will take it upon themselves to tell me some sort of burn story of their own to relate? I guess. Either way, it's chill. dont sweat the scarring. Definitely look up places that laser or electrolysis in your areas, or if you're worried in a city over. The point is: your skin will continue to grow hair, whether it's thick or teeny soft ones. You don't want that inside you. Same goes for the outside, your member will grow hair if you don't get the hair permanently removed.

It hurts, I'm not going to lie to you. But you'll be very happy with the results in the future. It's worth it. So... look into some hair removal places.

Exercise is important. Wrist exercises to strengthen are good if you choose forearm.

I'm not sure if you've had any surgeries. But you will need to get a hysterectomy and an oophorectomy as like the first "surgery step" of phallo. It's important to have these surgeries, especially if you've been taking T for longer than 10 years. If you don't remove the uterus and ovaries but keep taking T... you have a very high risk of getting cancer. So please, if you can try to see an endocrinologist at least once to get some basic knowledge on the effects of the hormones in relation to the inner workings of the human body, that would be good.

Stealth wise: it's your body and you can be rid of whatever innards you want lol. Meaning: tell the doctor you don't want the uterus and ovaries, and you want them removed. When asked "why...are you sure". "Yes, I am absolutely sure. I could go into surgery today if you have an opening" They won't have one open obviously but the point is: be insistant and strong and stern. If the doctor needs reasons here are a few: I don't want kids. I am in pain because of my period and it's affecting my quality of life". USE SPECIFIC LANGUAGE: "this affects my quality of life"

When you're in the process of phallo to stay stealth I used the excuse of needing to have corrective surgeries on my penis. Honestly. I was staying with my inlaws for the last two surgeries and they do not know at all. And I told them I had issues with my urinary tract (for me i have kidney stones and I said one tore me up inside so I needed to fix it). And honestly you won't be up and moving a lot after the first process of phallo, I don't really think you'll have an issue having to hide that. I want not just you but every dude to know men pee sitting down a lot more often than you think. After your first stage chances are you will have too much swelling to do the urethra surgery at the same time (but it can be done, I've heard people tell me). Basically the internet can provide you with medical excuses and stuff to tell others if they get too "intimate" with you.

Hopefully this helps a bit. If you have follow up questions, you know where to go!

7 Ways To Eat Healthy

Healthy eating is vital for your overall health. Making conscious choices regarding our food choices will give our bodies all the nutrients needed to function optimally. It isn't easy to locate the correct information when it comes to nutritious eating. In this article, we will look at seven ways you can incorporate healthy eating into your everyday routine. Once you aim to discover more details on wellness, you must browse cancer-pain site.

Develop Balanced Meals

When you create balanced meals, it is possible to ensure your body gets a range of nutrients. The plate of a balanced meal should contain the foods of each important food group, such as grains, fruits and veggies, protein, dairy, or alternatives to dairy.

Each food group provides distinct benefits, so it's important to incorporate them into your diet. The fruits and vegetables in your diet provide antioxidants, vitamins and minerals While cereals and grains are rich in fiber and energy. Dairy, or alternative dairy products contribute to bone health, and is crucial for muscle growth and repair.

While including all food groups the importance of portion control plays an important role in keeping the balance of your eating plan. Take note of the serving size in order to prevent overeating. Make use of smaller bowls, plates, and cups to help reduce the amount of food you consume and stop excessive eating.

Whole Foods Prioritized

It is important to prioritize whole foods in preference to processed the food you eat. Whole foods require minimal processing as they retain their fiber and nutritious nutrients naturally. Include whole grains, fruits and vegetables in your diet for important nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants.

Include fruits and vegetables in your diet

The main sources of nutrition are fruits and vegetables. Try to incorporate a range of colors in your diet, as different hues represent different nutritional profiles. These colorful foods are abundant in vitamins, minerals, and fiber. They can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases and boost general well-being.

Choose Lean Healthy Proteins Sources

Protein is required by the body for growth and to repair tissue. It also plays an important role in a variety of body activities. Choose lean sources of protein like chicken skinless, fish, beans, tofu or nuts. They're high in essential amino acids, and lower in fat.

Avoid Processed Food Products

The processed foods are often loaded with processed sugars, unhealthy fats and high levels of sodium. In excess consumption of processed food may lead to an increase in weight, a higher likelihood of developing chronic illnesses, as well as nutritional deficits. Aim to limit your intake of processed snacks, sugary drinks, fast food and other convenience items as well as opting for home-cooked food whenever you can.

Keep Hydrated

It is essential for the body to perform efficiently. The body's temperature is controlled by water and promotes overall well-being. Make sure you drink eight glasses of water per day and increase your intake in hot weather or during physical activity.

Take Your Time Eating And Exercising

Our lives are hectic and we often rush through meals without truly savoring or appreciating the food we eat. Mindful eating is about being conscious of your food as well as paying attention to flavor, texture and indicators of hunger and fullness. The mindful eating approach helps to build healthy connections with food as well as helps stop overeating.

Bottom Line

Eating healthy isn't a complicated or limiting undertaking. The key to a better existence by incorporating the seven strategies listed in the previous paragraphs into your routine. Be sure to make well-balanced meals, take advantage of healthy foods that are whole, include fruit and vegetables, opt for lean protein sources, limit processed foods, stay hydrated and eat mindfully. Small changes can yield substantial long-term benefits for your overall health.

Moon stuck as a human for a day pt 2

(This is also long 838 words long and in total Moon stuck as a human for a day was 1,750 words long)

Sun smiled happily and the day was begun. It went well actually. The children seemed calm and were able to get along with one other perfectly fine and best of all there were no rulebreakers. The first thing that happened was some games of hide and seek were played before having story time and then letting the kids choose what they wanted to do. The kids were confused by the human who had the nickname Moon but seemed to quickly accept him as one of the cool people that watched the daycare that day and wanted to hang out with Moon and spend time with him.

 When nap time came around Moon decided to pick a star-themed song.  Moon enjoyed singing to the children and Sun knew that. It always warmed his heart to see his brother happy especially when the children had no clue who he was. When the children fell asleep Moon sighed. “Taking care of the children as a human is easier than I thought it would be.” 

Sun nodded. “Yeah, I’m glad they're getting along with you well even though they just now met you. They were nervous when meeting Lunar and Earth.” Moon nodded. “Well, I think I might nap as well if that’s ok with you.” Sun chuckled. “Of course it’s ok with me Moon you don’t have to ask me to take breaks and stuff like that.” Moon sighed and rested his head against Sun’s shoulder. “Ok, brother.” Moon was quick to fall asleep and Sun smiled and combed his fingers through Moon’s hair. 

“Goodnight brother.” Sun smiled and watched over his brother and the sleeping children. When nap time was over though Sun gently shook Moon’s shoulders to get him ready to wake the kids. “It’s hard to believe that the day is already halfway over. I didn’t expect it to go by this fast” Moon said while rubbing his eye. “It really has gone by fast.” Once the children were up and awake Sun and Earth prepared for what she and Sun called drawing hour while Moon helped get snacks ready. 

During the drawing hour, many of the children drew Moon and asked Sun questions about Moon like if he had kids, how Sun knew him, and if Moon would be back again when the other Moon wasn’t around. Sun explained to the children he wasn’t sure if Moon would maybe one time come back or not and that Moon did not have kids. Some other questions were asked by the children about Moon which Sun tried to answer as best as he could. Eventually, Earth took over answering questions and not soon after she did Moon came in with the snacks for the children. 

Snack was held and Earth stayed with Moon giving Sun a break for a few moments which Sun took as a chance to check and see if Moon’s computer was done see what the problem was and see about some new things he was ordering for the daycare. Four hours later and the day ended. The Galaxy siblings cleaned up the daycare and Moon got some more food to eat before returning to the balcony. 

“Computer have you found out the problem yet?” Sun asked. He was hoping the computer had. “Yes, I have. The problem has been fixed it was a glitch in his outward image system. In the morning Moon will be back to normal.” Sun sighed grateful that Moon would be back to normal again. 

“So I actually had a plan before this happened to have a movie night with you and Earth would you still be up for that?” Moon asked unsure if Sun would rather charge or do something else. “I think a movie night would be a nice idea.” Moon smiled and picked out a movie for him, Sun, and Earth to watch. The movie was based on Star Trek and was the first of three movies. By the second movie Sun and Moon had fallen asleep halfway through while Earth was still awake.

 “Tell me computer there wasn’t a glitch was there? I feel like I heard Monty saying some day last week how he had a good plan for a prank on Sun and Moon.” Moon’s computer made what sounded like a laugh. “Yes, you are correct Ms.Earth. Monty did plan this. If he hadn’t he would have come by to see why Moon wasn’t in his tracking still. Will you tell Sun and Moon?” 

Earth shook her head no. “I’m fine with keeping it a secret so Monty doesn’t get their tail beat off by Sun and as long as it doesn’t stress either Sun or Moon out since you did call the problem a glitch. Just tell Monty I’m challenging him to golf next Tuesday and if they agree I won’t tell Sun and Moon.” The computer didn’t say anything but its system could be heard working. “I have told him Ms.Earth enjoy your night with your brothers.”

Maroon's Diary - training with Rin, part 2

Day 8 - The second week of Rin's training starting off with a lil quiz. Of course she wasn't looking forward to it. I am trying here-- I even turned this quiz into a multiple choice one where you just have to choose between A, B, C, etc. but even then she wasn't very focused on it! On the bright side, she at least faired better than the written tests, meaning she did learn. That's somewhat of a relief. What wasn't a relief was that I felt her body very slowly but surely increase in temperature. I thought it was a cold at first, but if I'm wrong the next day me might correct me on that.

Day 9 - Turns out her valves were already partly broken from going too hard using her powers during the song contest. It was partly my fault as I was the one who had control over those instead of her. But she wasn't fully out of blame here the moment we found out she hadn't put that collar on for a while. I scolded her heavily-- I somewhat felt bad for that, but even so she had taken a heavy risk and she could've risk her nightmare coming to fruition, burning her and her friends and her family to ashes without wanting to. Luckily, that was prevented as we straight up upgraded her valves. Don't tell her, but I also upgraded her entire aura channel system. She's now bedridden for the entire day, but at least she has a caring family now and Miku to help her out.

Day 10 - This was the first day she was training after I had to fix her valves and I'm honestly wondering if this is the same Rin that I danced with back in the singing competition. She used to be so carefree when it comes to training and now she's taking this seriously, more serious than before-- even did some genuine studying for once by reading the guide and she used to hate it. Did the issue from yesterday worry her to the point of taking it seriously?

Day 11 - We didn't do much that day as I saw that the whole situation from two days ago worried her. We went to go play games, to the amusement park and even went and grabbed some fast food over on our local fast food restaurant.

Day 12 - I'm really proud of her right now for this and I might be for a while, she seemed to have mastered controlling the output of her powers, which is good because she needs that fine control, which also means she's closer to being in full control. Although there's still one hurdle she has to overcome.

Day 13 - Almost a week ago she was struggling making a fireball. Now with some focus she was able to pull it off! Really, she's going so quick for a girl her age and as her brother and teacher I was very proud of her. Due to that, our training for the day finished shortly, though today wasn't without one concern. Even with her collar on, her temperature slowly rose and I checked and her system seems to be alright. We'll have to wait and see what the next day is for her, but I have small suspicion what that may be.

Day 14 - Her body's temperature increased a lot by then, she says she somehow was feeling a build up in pressure, but temperature wise she was feeling totally fine even though her body already was reaching over 100°C. Situation wise we're somewhat back to what it was 5 days ago-- kind of. It was a free day for her so I thought that she should take some time off in the pool. I told her in advance what she's about to go through, the final hurdle to control: her Overdrive that was slowly but surely making it's power known.

Update: 160°C

yet she's still was still very much comfortable. Today was likely the day her Overdrive activates. She'll probably pass out in a few seconds, having used up much of her reserves. But once that's done, her powers are then fully in control. Our training has yet to be over, but her concerns of her nightmare might as well be over.

FCSU #71 Starting School

AJ and Teresa spent the summer looking for new homes for their families. Teresa and Isaac found a new cabin deep in the woods with a great view of Brindleton Bay. Allie-Jayne grew discouraged as her search wore on. Ultimately it was determined that she and her children would join Andrew in his trailer which would be towed to a trailer park. The aluminum double-wide only had two bedrooms but AJ was determined to made it work. The girls: Abby, Autumn and Anna took the larger room while the boys occupied the second. Andrew would be leaving for college at the end of the year so the boys had the smaller room. AJ slept on a foldout cot in the living room with little Avery. She was doing well at her fast food job where she'd taken on as many hours as possible. It was hard to support a family of eight on her salary so she was looking for a second job to make ends meet.

As fall rolled around the children were excited to finally start school. Isaac had done a good job getting everyone caught up to their correct grade level. (or close to it) To make matters even better, they would be attending the same school as their cousins. Alex would even be in the same class as Thomas and Ryder! Austin was nervous to be in a different grade than his brother but his thirst for knowledge kept him busy reading in the library most lunchbreaks. After a lifetime of strictly religious texts, he tore into every kind of fiction he had access to. It seemed like he was determined to read the entire library!

Andrew was now a senior in high school. He’d begrudgingly allowed his family to move in with him. He was often frustrated by his siblings and the lack of privacy in the house but deep down he was happy to be living with his mom and siblings again. He had a part time job but AJ wouldn't let him contribute to the household bills; she insisted he save his money for college next year. With his background in construction and his aunt and uncle's tutoring in math and physics, he was aiming for a career in engineering.

Abby and her mother had come to an agreement; she would finish school, age up and then she could choose whether she wanted to rejoin the cult. Even though she'd agreed to attend a townie school, Abby wouldn't budge on her attire. She proudly wore her prairie dress in a sea of shorts and crop tops. She'd bullied Autumn into keeping modest as well. The girls would be separated during class, however due to their age difference. Autumn was reserved and quiet for the first few weeks. She eventually made a few friends in her art class. They who viewed her upbringing as a tragic backstory and encouraged her to work through her feelings through art. Slowly Autumn began to adopt some of their hair and makeup styles, which caused a bit of a rift with her sister. 

Finally Allie-Jayne was offered a full-time restaurant job. She'd be starting from the bottom but hoped to quickly work her way up. She planted a small garden to grow vegetables and make sure they always had enough to eat. Things were finally able to settle down somewhat. AJ worked mostly nights so the teens could be home watching their younger siblings, Abby had calmed down and was putting all her energy into finishing school as quickly as possible. They still still met up with Teresa and Isaac for family camping trips and frequent playdates. She also kept in touch with Penny and Becca in San Myshuno.

Unbeknownst to Abby, she wasn't the only FCSU member attending public school. Clarity Culton had been enrolled by her foster parents, Bob and Eliza Pancakes. They wished to give her an education before she was returned to her family and jailed husband. Their relationship began a little rocky. They looked unlike anyone Clarity had ever met and they seemed very nice. It was clear they'd fostered dozens of times before. She tried to be polite but kept to herself for the first few weeks.

They gave her a huge bedroom and decorated in her favourite colour, pink. There was also a bassinet in the corner for her impending infant. The room was also cluttered with toys. Clarity hadn't seen any toys since she lived in The Parched Prospect. Her father preached that they were merely distractions to keep children from becoming useful. She looked at the large, elaborate bed and sat down for a quick prayer. She had her instructions, pray every two hours, rise at five-thirty am. Keep with the covenants, raise a righteous child.

The fourteen held fast to her beliefs and restrictions until one morning she was awoke to a delicious smell she couldn't place. She headed downstairs where Bob presented her with a plate of bacon and eggs. Clarity stared at the plate. Such decadence. She been allowed to eat greasy food ever! The Culton family took pride in their size and most of the women survived on merely fruit and salads. She was starving however, the baby was stealing all the food she'd eaten. She took one bite, then another. She couldn't resist. Clarity silently prayed that her father never found out about this.

Eliza and Bob were gentle with Clarity. They understood her anger about not being returned to her family. They hoped that by subtle, thought-provoking conversions with their young ward, they'd eventually be able to convince her that her much older uncle was not a suitable partner. Clarity was used to chipping in around the house, so she helped with chores and cooked dinner for the family once per week. Her mood was much better when she had something to do instead of stewing all day. Over time the Pancakes managed to build some trust with Clarity.

Three months into her stay, Clarity went into labour. Eliza was a midwife and gave her the option of delivering at home or in a hospital. She'd done some research on the FCSU and knew that they were taught to fear townie doctors. Clarity opted to labour in her room. The contractions lasted throughout the night and at 8:22am with Eliza's help, she delivered Liberty "Libby" Culton. Looking at her precious daughter gave Clarity a strange feeling- some clarity. She threw herself into raising her daughter.

As Libby met each milestone Clarity was forced to confront the problems with FCSU child-rearing. Though the church was deep into physical punishment Clarity just couldn’t bring herself to hit her precious daughter. She couldn’t deny her toys to play with or books to read aloud. She wanted Libby to have a childhood. It slowly dawned on her that her own had been stolen. When Libby was a year old Clarity asked to be enrolled in school. Her delighted foster parents agreed.

Animal Crossing Fish Dish Friday - #10

Brought to you by a marine biologist who believes in you - you can fillet your own fish!

CLICK HERE FOR THE AC FISH EXPLAINED MASTERPOST!

Karei no Nitsuke

In ACNH: 1. Get the DIY by catching a Dab. 2. Cook at the stove with 1 Dab.

In Real Life: from Japan

Species of Choice: If you want to stay true to the ACNH dish, then you're going to want to choose a flatfish - flounder, halibut, sole, plaice, dab, whatever your native flatfish is called. However, the dish's fish can be substituted with basically any whitefish. So, you can switch out your flatfish for gadids (cods, haddock, pollocks), and it will taste really fantastic!

Other Ingredients:

Ginger Root Shallots Soy Sauce Mirin Sugar

Here's the recipe + serve with steamed veggies and rice!

This is another whole fish dish, which I know not many people are too keen on. Yes, it can be a bit awkward if your food is looking back at you. I'd recommend 1 of 2 ways to avoid this. You can purchase your fish as fillets - this method is easier, but you are paying for that convenience! OR You could also do it yourself - which is cheaper!

Karei no Nitsuke, and its derivatives, are made with the whole fish. As you may have heard, bones carry a lot of nutrients and are used to make soup stocks the old fashioned way (before we had seasoning packets and such). So, to cook fish whole is to capture those benefits, and probably also make two or more meals out of one fish, limiting waste. The meat is then picked off the bones during the meal, which could aid in slowing down those of us who wolf our food. Still...if you're not going to eat a fish dish because it features the whole animal, then those points are moot! So! How to fillet your own fish!

It's just so much easier to show you how to do it with this really fast video. Here are my tips and tricks for how I fillet, and as you do it, you'll get better and faster at it with your own little habits.

~You want to feel the knife bump up against the bones as you go by, however, be aware this will hurt your knife over time. ~ALWAYS use a very sharp knife. It may help to have a knife dedicated to fish filleting or have a knife sharpener in the house. ~Accept that you WILL mess up. Not every fillet is going to be perfect, especially not your first dozen. Practice is the only way to get good. If you miss some meat, get it once you're done with the main fillet. ~"Round" fish, or fish that aren't flat like flounders, are done in basically the same way, except there are only two fillets (this has to do with anatomy and ease of cutting). See the video below to see the difference:

~The guy in the video says to cut behind the fish's "ear" which is...not correct. What he's really doing is cutting past the operculum, or gill covers, of the fish's head. You want to follow the shape of the operculum to ensure you don't miss any meat. ~You WILL have bones in your fillet - even the best chefs sometimes miss them. Once you have cut your fillet off, inspect for bones by rubbing the fillet and pressing into the meat. You will feel the bones if they are there. You can use tweezers to pick them out, or if you got the whole rib cage, use the removal method in the video.

And there you have it! Bon apetite!

7 Must-Know Tips to Send Diwali Gifts Abroad Fast

 1. Plan and Choose the Right Courier Service

As Diwali approaches, the desire to share the festival's delight with loved ones overseas intensifies. However, mailing gifts internationally necessitates meticulous preparation and execution. To ensure that your gifts arrive on time, start planning well in advance. Begin by looking up exceptional Diwali courier company that specialize in worldwide shipping. These providers frequently provide tailor-made packages for festival-related things, ensuring that your gifts are handled with care and delivered quickly.

When choosing a courier, consider delivery time, tracking tools, and client feedback. For example, DHL courier for USA is known for its dependable and quick service, making it a perfect choice for sending Diwali gifts to America. Similarly, you may want to send a courier to Canada by  DHL Express. In that case, you can anticipate fast service and prompt delivery. By using the correct courier service and arranging ahead of time, you considerably enhance the likelihood that your presents will arrive before the festival, allowing your loved ones to celebrate Diwali with a sense of home.

2. Package Your Gifts Properly

Proper wrapping is essential when sending Diwali gifts abroad, especially if you're sending delicate things like home made food or traditional sweets. Begin by covering each item individually in bubble wrap or a soft cloth to prevent damage during transit. To maintain freshness and prevent spills, store handmade food and spices in sealed containers. When sending garments, fold them neatly and pack them in resealable plastic bags to protect them from dampness.

Particular caution is required when it comes to courier for diwali sweets. To avoid movement while shipping, use robust boxes and fill any empty spots with packing peanuts or crumpled paper. Double-boxing fragile items might give an extra layer of protection. Label the parcel properly with the sender's and recipient's addresses, and designate it "Fragile" if necessary. By taking these precautions, you may ensure that your carefully chosen gifts arrive in pristine shape, ready to bring joy to your loved ones' faces throughout the festival of lights.

3. Be Aware of Customs Regulations and Restrictions

When shipping Diwali gifts overseas, it is critical to understand the customs procedures and limits in both the sending and receiving nations. Different countries have different restrictions concerning what can be imported. Not following them might result in delays, additional taxes, or even the confiscation of your gifts. For example, if you want to send handmade food or spices, make sure there are no food restrictions in the target country. Certain spices or culinary products cannot be imported into some countries due to severe rules. Similarly, if you're sending clothing, be mindful of any fabric-specific import regulations. 

When utilizing an international courier in Mumbai or any other city, ask the service provider about forbidden products and required papers. They frequently contain up-to-date information about customs rules. If you are shipping high-value commodities, you may be required to complete a customs declaration form. To prevent legal complications, make honest and correct declarations. By being knowledgeable about customs procedures, you can ensure a smooth travel for your Diwali presents, avoiding any unpleasant surprises that could dampen the festive mood.

4. Compare Courier Services and Rates

When sending Diwali gifts abroad, you must strike the perfect balance between cost and service quality. While it may be tempting to choose the lowest option, keep in mind that dependable delivery is critical to the timely arrival of your holiday gifts. Begin by evaluating the pricing and services provided by various courier providers. Look for cheaper courier fees, particularly during the festive season, when many providers offer special prices for Diwali packages. However, do not sacrifice service quality for a reduced price. Consider aspects such as delivery speed.

Package tracking and insurance options are available. For example, if you are utilizing DHL courier in Mumbai, compare their pricing and services to those of other international couriers in the city. Some providers may provide better pricing for specific destinations or package choices. Also, learn about any hidden costs or fees that may apply to foreign shipping. Many courier firms offer online tools for easy fare comparison and booking. By comparing multiple options, you may pick the finest courier service for your money while also ensuring that your Diwali presents arrive securely and on schedule.

5. Utilize Tracking Services for Peace of Mind

Staying informed about your package's trip has never been easier in the digital age, and it's a feature you should definitely use when shipping Diwali presents abroad. Most respectable international courier services, like DHL courier for the United States and Canada, include robust tracking systems. These allow you to track your package's movement from the minute it leaves your hands until it arrives at its final destination. When booking a courier service, make sure to get a tracking number and familiarize yourself with the company's tracking website or app.

Some providers provide real-time updates via SMS or email, keeping you informed at every stage of the delivery procedure. This option is convenient for mailing time-sensitive products like handmade meals or Diwali sweets. Tracking not only provides peace of mind but also lets you keep the receiver updated on the projected delivery date. In the event of any delays or concerns, you can instantly call the courier service for assistance. By actively tracking your box, you can verify that your Diwali gifts are on the proper track, allowing you to focus on the joy of giving rather than the logistics.

6. Consider Express Shipping for Last-Minute Gifts

Despite our best efforts, we occasionally find ourselves in a last-minute rush to send Diwali presents overseas. In such cases, express shipping services might be beneficial. Many overseas couriers provide accelerated delivery services, which can dramatically cut transit times. For example, suppose you need to send a courier to Canada with DHL Express. In that case, your shipment can often be delivered within 1-3 business days, depending on the exact location. While express shipping is often more expensive, it can be worth it to ensure your presents arrive in time for Diwali celebrations.

When using express services, please pay special attention to packaging, as these goods often require additional handling owing to their urgency. Also, be prepared to offer more precise information about the package contents for customs clearance, since expedited shipments may face additional scrutiny. Remember that even with express shipping, you should allow for a day or two of buffer time to accommodate for unexpected customs delays or unanticipated events. Even if you're running out of time for Diwali, you may still enjoy the thrill of gifting by using expedited delivery.

7. Insure Your Valuable Gifts for Added Protection

When sending valuable Diwali presents abroad, especially those with a high monetary or sentimental worth, you should consider shipping insurance. Many foreign courier services, particularly those offering low courier rates, offer insurance for an additional fee. This simple investment can provide great peace of mind by ensuring your finances in the event of loss, damage, or theft during shipment. When insuring your box, make sure to indicate the correct value of its contents. Undervaluing your belongings to save on insurance costs may result in insufficient recompense if something goes wrong. Consider getting precious items, such as jewelry or electronics, appraised before shipment to verify their value.

Certain courier services may have insurance limitations for specific commodities, so it is critical to clarify these facts ahead of time. For example, if you are bringing handmade food or perishable Diwali sweets, be sure the insurance policy covers them. Remember, while insurance increases the overall shipping cost, it provides essential security for your thoughtful Diwali presents. By ensuring your box, you ensure that you are covered in the unlikely case of a mishap, allowing you to send your presents with confidence and truly embody the spirit of Diwali generosity.

Trade Link International boasts an extensive global network, rivaling major players like DHL courier for USA and Canada. Our competitive rates and discounted courier charges make us an economical choice without compromising on service quality. We have a strong presence as an international courier in Mumbai and other major cities, making it convenient for you to send your Diwali gifts from anywhere in the world

Veneers in Dubai: The Secret to a Younger-Looking Smile

In today's fast-paced world, maintaining a youthful appearance is a common goal for many. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is through a bright, flawless smile. Veneers are increasingly popular for those looking to enhance their smile while also rejuvenating their facial aesthetics. If you are seeking the Best Veneers in Dubai, this blog will explain why veneers are the secret to a younger-looking smile and how you can benefit from this cosmetic dental solution.

What Are Veneers?

Veneers are ultra-thin shells made of porcelain or composite resin that are custom-designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. They are bonded to your teeth to improve their shape, color, and alignment, creating a beautiful, even smile. Veneers are an excellent option for correcting various dental imperfections, including chipped teeth, gaps, discoloration, and misalignment.

Because of their versatility and natural-looking results, veneers have become a preferred choice for many individuals in Dubai who want to enhance their smile without undergoing extensive dental procedures.

The Benefits of Veneers

Veneers offer numerous advantages that go beyond aesthetics. Here are some reasons why more people are opting for veneers to achieve a younger, more confident smile:

Natural Appearance: Porcelain veneers mimic the natural texture and translucency of real teeth, providing a more youthful and vibrant smile.

Stain-Resistant: Veneers are resistant to stains caused by coffee, wine, and other foods, ensuring your smile stays bright for years.

Durable: With proper care, veneers can last up to 15 years or more, making them a long-lasting investment in your appearance.

Non-Invasive: Veneers are a minimally invasive option for those who want to enhance their smile without undergoing surgery or orthodontic treatment.

Finding the Best Veneers in Dubai

Dubai is known for its world-class cosmetic and dental services, making it a popular destination for people looking to enhance their smile. If you're searching for the Best Veneers in Dubai, you'll find numerous top-rated dental clinics that specialize in this procedure. These clinics use advanced technology and high-quality materials to ensure the best results for their patients. It’s important to choose a clinic with experienced professionals who understand the aesthetics and functionality of veneers.

The Procedure: What to Expect?

Getting veneers is a relatively straightforward process. During your initial consultation, your dentist will evaluate your teeth and discuss your goals to ensure veneers are the right option for you. They will then take impressions of your teeth to custom-design your veneers.

In the next visit, the dentist will prepare your teeth by removing a small amount of enamel, allowing the veneers to bond seamlessly. Once the veneers are ready, they will be carefully fitted to your teeth, adjusted for comfort, and bonded using a special dental adhesive. The result is an enhanced, natural-looking smile that can take years off your appearance.

Looking for a Dentist Near Me in Dubai?

Choosing the right dentist is crucial to achieving the best results from your veneers. When searching for a "Dentist near me in Dubai", look for clinics that have a strong reputation for excellence in cosmetic dentistry. Experience, technology, and patient reviews are important factors in selecting a dental practice that meets your needs. Dubai offers a wealth of options, so take your time to find a dentist who can guide you through the process and deliver high-quality care.

How Veneers Help You Look Younger

One of the key reasons veneers are so effective in creating a youthful appearance is that they address multiple signs of aging in the smile. Over time, teeth naturally become worn, discolored, and chipped, which can add years to your overall look. By covering these imperfections, veneers provide an immediate rejuvenation. They create a symmetrical, even smile that brightens your face and draws attention away from fine lines or wrinkles around your mouth.

Additionally, veneers can correct issues like gaps or crooked teeth, which can also contribute to an aged appearance. The result is not only a beautiful smile but also a boost in confidence and self-esteem.

Aftercare: Maintaining Your Veneers

To ensure the longevity of your veneers and keep your smile looking fresh, it’s essential to practice proper dental hygiene. Here are some tips for maintaining your veneers:

Regular Brushing and Flossing: Continue to brush twice a day and floss regularly to keep your gums and teeth healthy.

Avoid Hard Foods: Try to avoid biting into hard foods that could chip or damage your veneers.

Routine Dental Visits: Regular check-ups with your dentist will ensure your veneers remain in top condition and allow for any adjustments if necessary.

Mouthguards for Sports: If you play contact sports, consider wearing a mouthguard to protect your veneers from impact. Veneers offer an excellent solution for those looking to improve their smile and achieve a more youthful appearance. Whether you want to fix chipped teeth, brighten your smile, or create a more even alignment, veneers can transform your teeth and give you the confidence to show off your smile. If you are interested in veneers, consider visiting Dr. Vesna Dentistry for expert care and personalized treatment that will help you achieve the smile of your dreams.

Top 5 Common Refrigerator Problems and How to Fix Them

Is your refrigerator acting up? Don’t worry, you're not alone. Many homeowners face common refrigerator problems, but the good news is that most of these issues can be fixed without much hassle. In this blog post, we’ll discuss the top 5 common refrigerator problems and how you can fix them. Plus, we’ll explain why so many clients choose Hillside Appliance Repair for all their appliance repair needs.

1. Refrigerator Not Cooling

Problem: One of the most common refrigerator issues is that it’s not cooling properly. This can lead to spoiled food and beverages.

Fix: First, check if the thermostat is set to the correct temperature. If it is, clean the condenser coils as dust and debris can accumulate and hinder cooling. Ensure that the door seals are tight and not allowing cool air to escape. If these steps don’t solve the problem, it might be time to call a professional.

2. Water Leaking from Refrigerator

Problem: Finding puddles of water around your refrigerator can be concerning.

Fix: Check the water supply line and ensure it's securely connected. Inspect the defrost drain for any blockages, which can cause water to overflow. Cleaning the drain with a solution of hot water and baking soda can often resolve the issue. If the problem persists, you might need to replace the water filter.

3. Refrigerator Making Strange Noises

Problem: Hearing unusual noises from your refrigerator can be annoying and indicate a problem.

Fix: Identify the source of the noise. If it’s coming from the back, it could be the condenser fan or compressor. If it’s from inside, it might be the evaporator fan. Cleaning these parts can often reduce the noise. If the noises continue, professional diagnosis and repair may be necessary.

4. Ice Maker Not Working

Problem: A faulty ice maker can be frustrating, especially during the hot months.

Fix: Ensure that the ice maker is turned on and that the water supply line is not blocked or kinked. Check the water inlet valve for any issues and replace it if needed. Sometimes, resetting the ice maker can also help. If these steps don’t work, you might need expert assistance.

5. Refrigerator Running Constantly

Problem: If your refrigerator runs continuously, it can lead to higher energy bills and reduced efficiency.

Fix: Check the thermostat settings and ensure they are not set too low. Clean the condenser coils to ensure they are free of dust and debris. Verify that the door seals are intact and not letting warm air in. If the problem persists, it might indicate a more significant issue requiring professional refrigerator repair.

Chain Reaction: The Best Food Chains to Enhance Your Longevity Journey

Do we fully understand the intake that we consume during the day? Does someone have all the correct nutritional information? There are countless varieties of food in the globe; I live in India, so I’m not even familiar with all of its attributes. 

In addition, there are countless nutrients, each with unique benefits and drawbacks, around the world. 

A vital part of our lives is our diet. It fuels our bodies so we can perform at our best every day and at the gym. It increases the body’s internal equilibrium, vitality, and rest.

The world and we both go forward constantly, but don’t you think it’s our responsibility to offer our bodies an opportunity to receive the optimum nutrition? 

Indeed, we are talking about the course of treatment. I’ve discovered that there is a great deal of confusion in society. They eat healthily, but issues always seem to originate in the rear. 

It could be small-scale or manifest as illnesses. The idea is to learn what to eat and what not to consume in order to develop different diet chains for our bodies.

There is a severe shortage of dietary information among people. This is the reason for the useful knowledge I found on the strong relationship between our emotions and food. Yes, everything appears normal to us.

The Three Gunas

In this period of progress, everyone is entitled to make the best decision. Here is where you can find information. There are a wide variety of diets in this globe, ranging from vegan to. And this is the hidden gem. I am referring to the three gunas and their practical applications to the human body and mind.

And it’s hardly rocket science, which is the best part. easily adjustable and comprehended. Everything is related. The three gunas present an incredibly clear and concise picture of the substances we consume during the day and how they impact the body as a whole, including the brain. 

Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas are the three gunas that are the subject of ancient Indian philosophy, notably the Samkhya school of thought. These gunas stand for many attributes or forces that affect not just the body and psyche but also the environment and society. 

The gunas are extremely relevant and useful in understanding and addressing many facets of current life in the fast-paced, modern world of today.

Knowing the gunas enables people to identify their own inclinations and strive for a more balanced way of living. For example, a person who is very rajasic could achieve inner peace and lessen stress by engaging in more sattvic activities, like meditation or going outside. 

Recognizing the interplay of the gunas, societies can, on a larger scale, strive to create conditions that minimize the negative effects of tamas (ignorance and stagnation), maximize the positive aspects of rajas (innovation and growth), and promote sattva (through sustainable practices, public health, and education).

The three gunas offer a potent framework for comprehending and dealing with the difficulties of contemporary life. 

Understanding the roles that sattva, rajas, and tamas play in our lives and in society helps us make more thoughtful decisions that promote societal harmony, individual well-being, and a more sustainable planet.

The gunas are extremely relevant and useful in understanding and addressing many facets of current life in the fast-paced, modern world of today.

Knowing the gunas enables people to identify their own inclinations and strive for a more balanced way of living. For example, a person who is very rajasic could achieve inner peace and lessen stress by engaging in more sattvic activities, like meditation or going outside. 

Recognizing the interplay of the gunas, societies can, on a larger scale, strive to create conditions that minimize the negative effects of tamas (ignorance and stagnation), maximize the positive aspects of rajas (innovation and growth), and promote sattva (through sustainable practices, public health, and education).

The three gunas offer a potent framework for comprehending and dealing with the difficulties of contemporary life. 

Understanding the roles that sattva, rajas, and tamas play in our lives and in society helps us make more thoughtful decisions that promote societal harmony, individual well-being, and a more sustainable planet.

Save Time, Eat Well: 10 Meal Prep Tips for Busy People

In today's fast-paced world, keeping a nutritious diet can be difficult, especially when juggling job, family, and social obligations. However, with careful meal planning and preparation, it is absolutely possible to eat nutritious meals all week without spending hours in the kitchen every day. This post delves into ten crucial meal prep strategies to help you streamline your cooking process, save time, and promote healthy eating habits. Effective meal preparing is around balancing nutrition and convenience. By setting aside a few hours each week to plan and prepare your meals, you can not only save time during hectic weekdays, but also ensure that you are eating healthier foods. - Plan Your Meals Effectively The first step in good meal planning is to establish specific nutritional needs and preferences. Understanding your nutritional goals will help you plan your meals, whether you want to eat more veggies, eat less processed foods, or stay inside a certain calorie range. Creating a weekly menu is essential for maintaining diversity and balance in your meals. Include a variety of proteins, nutritious grains, and veggies to give critical nutrients while keeping your meals interesting. Once you've decided on a menu, create a complete shopping list divided by categories like fruit, proteins, grains, and pantry essentials to make grocery shopping easier. - Choose the Right Recipes When selecting meal prep recipes, prioritize simplicity and nutrition. Look for dishes that are simple to make in quantity and can be kept and reheated without losing flavor or texture. Incorporating a range of flavors and textures will assist to keep mealtimes interesting and make you look forward to your pre-prepared meals. - Organize Your Kitchen and Tools The correct tools and an organized kitchen space are essential for efficient meal preparation. Invest in high-quality cooking gear including sharp knives, sturdy cutting boards, and a variety of microwave and freezer-safe storage containers. Optimal storage methods ensure that your prepared meals remain fresh and nutritious throughout the week. - Prep Ingredients Ahead of Time Consider batch cooking staple ingredients like grains, meats, and sauces to speed up your weeknight meals. Cook in large batches and portion into individual containers for quick and easy assembling afterward. Precutting vegetables and fruits minimizes prep time and allows for easy meal modification. - Utilize Time-Saving Techniques One-pot meals and sheet pan dinners are fantastic ways to reduce cleanup and preparation time. These dishes allow you to mix and cook ingredients together, saving you time and effort. Furthermore, freezing meals ahead of time can help them last longer while retaining their flavor and nutritional value. - Portion Control and Balanced Nutrition Effective meal preparation entails portioning meals based on your nutritional needs and goals. Use portion-controlled containers to control calorie consumption and maintain balanced nutrition throughout the week. Include a variety of proteins, healthy fats, and carbohydrates in your meals to sustain energy and promote overall health. - Incorporate Healthy Snacks Preparing nutritious snacks in advance is critical for avoiding poor eating patterns during the day. Choose portable choices like pre-cut vegetables with hummus, fruit and nut mixes, or yogurt parfaits that are easy to grab and eat on the go. These snacks offer nutritional alternatives to convenience foods. - Stay Organized with Meal Labels Labeling your prepared meals with dates and contents allows you to keep organized and track freshness. Rotate meals carefully to avoid boredom and guarantee that you're getting a range of nutrients throughout the week. This structure also reduces food waste and enables more effective meal planning in the future. - Stay Motivated and Flexible Tracking your meal prep success, such as meeting nutritional goals or testing new recipes, keeps you motivated and dedicated to eating healthier. Be willing to change your meal plans depending on feedback and preferences, allowing you more flexibility in your food selection and cooking methods. - Reward Yourself Finally, congratulate yourself on your successful meal preparation. Whether you've followed your meal plan for a week, tried a new recipe, or accomplished a health milestone, take a moment to recognize your accomplishments. Reward yourself with something nice, such as a relaxed evening or a modest treat, to keep your motivation and excitement for meal planning. To summarize, mastering the art of food preparation not only saves time and money, but also improves your entire health and well-being. By following these ten crucial meal prep tips—from effective planning and dish selection to remaining organized and recognizing successes—you can change your eating habits and make healthier choices a natural part of your daily routine.
