Becoming a new person

Divine's avatarBeing Yourself

Every next level of your life will require a new version of yourself. Old ways of doing things will never bring progress. I have came across an interesting reading which I would love to share with you.

Tips to become a better person

1. Challenge yourself

Always challenge what you know and do. if you are good and understand well psychology and criminology, start learning a new subject you are interest in but have no knowledge about. Why not learning how to perfectly bake or coding? You know yourself better than I do, you decide.

2. Do things the hard way

Technology can weaken your cognitive skills which mean the ability to use your brain to think by yourself. Example, instead of using a GPS to go somewhere you have been before, use your memory. Do math in your head sometimes instead of using a calculator.

3. Seek new things

Family Recipes and Memories: Italian Home-Made Manicotti

Family Recipes

 Manicotti

img_8734

Manicotti was a food that I never grew up with or had even heard of until I married an Italian guy and he dragged me from my Georgia southern roots to a far away state called Connecticut! I soon learned there were other foods besides fried chicken, black-eyed peas, and okra! I have to admit, that it took me years to warm up to these very different type foods. I often shook my head “no” more often than “yes” in the beginning… but eventually I warmed up to tasting them when offered. Every holiday held a new surprise of foods for me, and over time… for the most part, they are now my favorites too!

Manicotti, meaning “little sleeve” or “little shirtsleeve”, is more of an Italian-American type of pasta… also meaning “cooked hands”, referring to hands burnt when making the crepes… I’ve yet to burn my…

The Fever KingThe Fever King by Victoria Lee

Release date: March 1st 2019

In the former United States, sixteen-year-old Noam Álvaro wakes up in a hospital bed, the sole survivor of the viral magic that killed his family and made him a technopath. His ability to control technology attracts the attention of the minister of defense and thrusts him into the magical elite of the nation of Carolinia.

The son of undocumented immigrants, Noam has spent his life fighting for the rights of refugees fleeing magical outbreaks—refugees Carolinia routinely deports with vicious efficiency.

Stonehaven on Vaal: review

Divine's avatarBeing Yourself

I have always wanted to go on a boat cruise but living far away from the coast requires to wait for holidays or planning a long weekend to the coast. Luckily, I have discovered an amazing place where I could experience my boat cruise and still have the possibility to go back and sleep in the comfort of my bed. Then I realized it could be a great idea to go with some of THE SELFLOVIES_SOCIETY and share the experience with them. I used Voiturage services to help me sort all the transportation logistics from Johannesburg to Stonehaven on Vaal, I had one less thing to worry about.

Situated on the Vaal river in Vanderbijlpark, Stonehaven on Vaal is considered as one of the most beautiful garden restaurant in Gauteng. The garden restaurant is only one hour drive from Johannesburg South Africa.

They have different boat size to suit all…

Review: Esme’s Wish (Esme Series #1) by Elizabeth Foster

Ezzydesu's avatarServillas Speaks

”Now, nothing else mattered. She had found the place her mother had whispered of, the place sewn into the fabric of her dreams.”

★★★★✩½

I have received this book for free from Elizabeth Foster in exchange of an honest review.

I had just vowed that 2019 would be the year I would read more books with dragons in it when I received an email about this book. The timing so right it almost couldn’t  be a coincidence. I am honestly so glad this book ended up in my hands, as I loved it from start to finish. It took a little time getting used to reading my own name as the protagonist’s (though it is a tiny bit different), but it grew on me.

The whole theme of this book is water: Esme’s home is on an island part of an archipegalo, her dad is the lighthouse keeper, Esperance…

Throwback Thursday – The Big Short (2015)

Murdocal's avatarYipee ki-yay, motherbooker

p12157971_v_v8_ac5_star_rating_system_4_stars1 Whenever anyone asked me what I thought of Vice in the last few weeks my go to answer would always be “it wasn’t as good as The Big Short“. It’s something I said because I truly thought it was my opinion. But when I looked back at my review of Adam McKay’s previous Oscar nominated film, I discovered that I’d been more scathing of it than my memory lead me to believe. I guess I do remember feeling a bit weird at the end of it because the people who gained from so much misery were being portrayed as heroic. Still, I decided it was important to rewatch The Big Short to really answer the question “is it better than Vice?” Or have I just been lying to everyone for ages? I don’t know why I’m pretending there’s any suspense here because you can see from my above rating…
