Battle Of The Can: Which Tool Really Wins Against Corn?

Published on by ☆ Emma Santorini ☆Leave a comment

Me, my mind, and ADHD are sometimes not a good combo, but I got a laugh out of it. In desperate times come desperate methods.

A salad must have corn in it, right? or am I wrong?

Cucumber without the peel, bell pepper, cheese, apples, iceberg salad, pineapple, pasta, and either ham or chicken plus cheese. That’s my go-to when it comes to salad. I forgot red onion this time, but it’s fine. Cucumber without peel is because I have gallstones, and I am not in the mood to go to the emergency room today. Unfortunately I had no pineapple at home and forgot to buy it.

I went to the store today to buy ingredients to make exactly that dish for dinner. I had cheese at home, so I didn’t need to buy that.

While cutting, cleaning, and boiling the stuff, I remembered that I bought corn in a can (yes, I know it’s not so good and a lot of sugar but, hey, sometimes I want that lol!). So I looked for the can opener but its nowhere to be found.

So guess what I did instead 😂 It’s hilarious and I honestly got a few really good laughs.

How I Sneaked Around Like a Criminal… Just to Get THE Present for her

Published on by ☆ Emma Santorini ☆1 Comment

I ran around in Italy. I looked at tax-free at the airports and the stores at the airports, but I could not find it anywhere! I was heartbroken.

I’m a fan of the band Tokio Hotel, and in March I went to the capital of Sweden (Stockholm) and saw them live (again). As always, and after the concert I saw a lot of clips on TikTok from the concert when I stumbled across a girl named M (not sure if im allowed to write her name so i go with the first letter of her name). She was there and is also a huge fan of Tokio Hotel. We clicked instantly. She joined my live when I was live on TikTok, and all we spoke about was pretty much 99% Tokio Hotel.

Yes, I know I’m repeating myself. Fully aware of that. Haha!

We have been talking about our birthdays, Tokio Hotel merch, etc., a lot, so I called her (we spoke a lot on the phone when I was in Italy, so I have her number) and surprised her by saying that I’m coming to her when her birthday is. Tickets are ordered and done. I told her at the same time that I was ordering her birthday present, so she knew that I was doing that, but she didn’t know what it was, so I was sneaky sneaky. 

M made a group chat on Messenger for her friends so it would be easier to update everyone on what ideas she had in mind to do for her birthday, and when I had ordered the gift and everything was done, I wrote in the chat (for fun). I had M on the phone, so I told her what I was going to write) that I had spent 2000SEK on M and her birthday.

2000 SEK is $210 USD / $322 AUD / 180 €

I sent her screenshots of updates of the delivery but covered where the present was from, and today she finally got it (even though her birthday is next month). It was a lot of hassle to get it out from the postbox. I couldn’t open the door to the postbox due to me being like 5 hours from her, so she got the login to the app so she could get it out. IT WORKED! haha!

What i bought her you can see on next page of this post (click on the number 2 in the box below)

Meal prep tips for successful weight loss

Published on by ☆ Emma Santorini ☆Leave a comment

Meal prepping is a game-changer for weight loss because it helps you control portions, avoid unhealthy choices, and save time. Here are some top meal prep tips to set you up for success:

Plan Your Meals Ahead
Decide your meals for the week before shopping.

Include a balance of lean protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs.

Batch Cook Staples
Cook large portions of basics like brown rice, quinoa, grilled chicken, and roasted veggies.

Store in airtight containers for easy mixing and matching.

Use Portion-Controlled Containers
Invest in containers that help you measure servings.

This helps avoid overeating and keeps meals consistent.

Prep Ingredients Separately
Chop veggies, cook grains, and proteins separately.

This gives flexibility to combine different meals throughout the week.

Keep Snacks Ready
Portion out nuts, cut fruit, or veggie sticks for quick, healthy snacks.

Choose Recipes That Reheat Well
Soups, stews, casseroles, and stir-fries are great for make-ahead meals.

Avoid foods that get soggy or lose texture quickly.

Mix It Up
Use different spices and sauces to keep meals interesting.

Variety helps you stick to your plan longer.

8. Label and Date Your Meals
This helps track freshness and avoid food waste.

9. Don’t Forget Breakfast
Prepare overnight oats, smoothie packs, or egg muffins for quick, healthy starts.

10. Be Realistic
Start small—maybe prep for 2-3 days at a time if a whole week feels overwhelming.
