Hey lovelies! Happy Saturday! I hope you’re all having the best weekend ever with your family and friends. I’m so excited to share my latest outfit with you all—these pink shorts. They are cute and versatile. I feel like I could wear them anywhere while running errands, grabbing coffee, or just chilling in the park.
First off, can we talk about this shade of pink? It’s the perfect pop of color for spring, and it instantly lifts my mood whenever I put them on. If you’re like me and usually gravitate towards denim or dresses, these solid pink shorts are such a fun change. I spotted them I knew right away they had to be mine!
For today’s look, I paired the shorts with a simple three-toned green, black and white tee from River Island. It’s super easy to tuck in, which totally puts all the focus on the shorts. And guess what? The tee is less than $10! Such a steal, right? I mean, you probably already have a white tee in your closet, so you can totally recreate this look.

Cocktails at cruising altitude come with potential serious health risks.
When we have had a long day before the flight, we tend to want to relax during the flight. Some relax by drinking alcohol. While it might sound like a fun way to celebrate the start of a trip, there’s something important to consider: drinking alcohol on a plane could actually be risky. If you’re planning to catch some sleep on a long-haul flight, you might want to think twice about ordering that champagne.
What happens to your body when you are in the air?
Once you’re cruising at high altitude, the lower atmospheric pressure means your body gets less oxygen. Normally, your blood oxygen levels hover around 96% to 100%, but up in the sky, they can drop to about 90% or even lower.
To adjust, your body kicks into high gear: you start breathing faster to get more oxygen, and your heart pumps quicker to circulate blood throughout your system. This works for most people, but heart conditions can make it difficult.
Things get even more complicated when you throw alcohol into the mix. According to Dr. Matthew Mosquera, a medical expert from McLean Hospital, alcohol can mess with how your red blood cells pick up oxygen. It disrupts hemoglobin, the molecule responsible for carrying oxygen, making it harder for your body to stay oxygenated.
So, if you've got your boarding pass and a drink order in mind, here are some things you might want to think about. There are a few factors that can make your blood oxygen levels drop even more on a plane:
Aging: As we get older, our bodies become less efficient at adjusting to changes in oxygen levels.
Sleeping: Our breathing naturally slows down while we sleep, and this can be even more pronounced on a plane.
Underlying conditions: If you have lung disease, sleep apnea (where you briefly stop breathing while you sleep), or heart issues, less oxygen will reach your lungs.
Hey everyone! Last Sunday, after church, my partner and I decided to visit Springburn Park for a chill day out and to snap some fab pics of my lime green outfit.
Springburn Park is located in the north of Glasgow, Scotland. It’s about 2.8 miles from the city center and spans a whopping 31 hectares (or 77 acres!). This park is not just huge but also super pretty with its extensive spring and summer bedding, vibrant bulbs, wallflowers, and polyanthus. If you’re into plants and flowers, it’s definitely a must-visit!
The park has loads of facilities catering to everyone. Whether you're into sports or just looking to relax, you’ve got options like a synthetic football pitch with floodlights, a juvenile football pitch, a multi-purpose games court, three bowling greens, a cricket pitch, and even an orienteering course!
One cool feature is the Glasgow City Health Walks, which happen here. They’re perfect for anyone looking to get into walking as a gentle exercise. The routes are short, ranging from half a mile to two miles, and they’re mainly on flat ground, making them ideal for beginners. For more info on these walks, visit Glasgow city council.
Public toilets are available at the Bowling Pavilion (May to September), Stobhill Hospital, and Springburn Leisure Centre.
Fun fact: The park was first acquired by Glasgow Corporation in 1892. Back then, it was just agricultural land with an old ironstone pit and quarry. It was developed with contributions from Sir James Reid and his family, and even had a Winter Gardens built, thanks to a generous donation. Although the Winter Gardens are currently closed due to structural issues, there are plans to restore them.

Hi everyone! Happy Sunday. I want to start by saying a big thank you to everyone who has been commenting on my blog, sharing my posts, and offering suggestions. I truly appreciate your input. Today is Sunday, and it's another day to shine in my world because I go to church every Sunday and sometimes attend weekly activities. So, welcome to another blog post about what I wore to church.
In a previous post where I showcased my church attire, I received numerous comments about how people dress for church, and I must say, you're all correct. I'm not here to judge, but I believe we all know what is appropriate to wear to church. Last week, some outfits caught my attention, but one really stood out because the person wore really tight trousers. The pant line was so pronounced, and she was standing in the middle row.
Try to avoid wearing anything see-through or too short, like above the knee. It's probably a good idea to skip outfits that might seem disrespectful in a place like church. Clothing like low-cut or backless dresses, tank tops, or anything that shows your stomach or goes above your knee aren’t the best choices for church. You can still look cute and stylish while keeping it modest!
The church is a place for everyone to worship, but it is also a place where we should respect and honor God in the right way. It made me wonder why some people feel so comfortable wearing clothing that exposes their sensitive body parts to church. I guess I might never know.
Now, I’m always excited to share my outfit with you all, and today I’m featuring another classy look by Uoozee Fashion. This two-piece batwing sleeve set is perfect for work and formal events. It fits perfectly, and I love the length of the flare pants. I styled this outfit in two different ways—flowing or tucked in. Did I mention the quality of the material is great? I'm not sure I would usually go for this style, but I’m really happy with the choice.
Initially, I wanted to wear black heels, but I changed my mind and went with these turquoise blue pumps by River Island. You can agree with me that it was the perfect choice.
There are a few trends that I’m really investing in this summer, like cowboy hats, fitted tops, matching sets, and classy dresses, but I especially love this gorgeous shade of lime green high-waist pants and loose off-the-shoulder blouse! 💚 It’s such a fun, vibrant color. Lime green was not a color I thought would match me, but I might be wrong, because this two-piece from Uoozee.com is proving otherwise.
Lime green is not the easiest to pull off, in my opinion, and I didn't expect the camel-colored cowboy hat to match so well. I was not sure about the shoe color, so I went online to browse for lime green outfit ideas, and that's how I went with white.
With its lightweight polyester fabric, this two-piece set is the perfect choice for a summer vacation on the beach and gatherings. There’s so many ways you can style this set depending on the vibe or situation, but I really wanted to play safe, so I paired the set with my white cover heels I bought from Temu.

Have you ever been to a cooking or baking show, or maybe even had the chance to judge one? Whether you have or haven’t, I’ve got a question for you.
I was watching the Blue Ribbon Baking Championship on Netflix last night, and while I was impressed by the skill and creativity on display—those desserts and cakes were works of art—I noticed something interesting. One of the female judges seemed to absolutely love moist cakes, another judge was all about the taste, regardless of how things looked, and there was a third judge who tried to balance it all out.
When it comes to judging a cooking or baking competition, there are so many factors at play. Think about it: our upbringing, cultural background, personal taste, and even what we grew up eating all come into play. We tend to fall back on what we know best. So, when judges critique a dish, they’re not just evaluating it in a vacuum—they’re bringing all of these personal experiences and preferences into the mix.
It got me thinking: is there really a definitive “best” cook or baker in these competitions? It seems like it really depends on what each judge prefers. For instance, I’m not a fan of moist cakes, so if I were a judge, I probably wouldn’t score them highly. It’s kind of like how some people like their bacon crispy, while others prefer it a bit burnt.
So, does winning a cooking competition really come down to what the judges or taste testers like? Like, if their taste preferences match what you’ve made, does that give you an edge? Yes, it does. It seems like you’d be in a better spot if their palates are into what you’re serving!
Also, don't forget that how full or hungry you are can totally affect how good the food tastes! If you're starving, even a simple dish can seem amazing, while if you're already stuffed, it might not seem as impressive.
So here’s my big question: In a cooking or baking competition, is there truly a best cook or baker, or is it more about which contestant aligns with the judges’ personal preferences? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.
