Here To Help 😀

It's that time of year again! I hope many of you can make it either in person or online. Some beautiful choir pieces in it, narration and of course songs for all to join in too. https://www.chorleystake.co.uk/ Please share if you like to help spread and remember the true meaning of Christmas. #christmas #christmasconcert #carols #jesuschrist https://www.instagram.com/p/ClvY24sIHk4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Our final lunch of the Ration Challenge! Flatbread, rice crackers and hummus. As many of you know, this week, I've been eating the same rations at hat a Syrian refugee eats in Jordan. It's been tough and a serious education in lots of ways! I've thought of the hopes and dreams of these people and have persevered because of them. The challenge will be over for me tomorrow but for many of these refugees, the end could still be a long way off. If any of you would like to support them by sponsoring me, there is still time and I, and the refugees, will be so grateful! Thank you so much again for all those of you who've already donated. It is sooo appreciated! 🙏❤️ https://www.rationchallenge.org.uk/deirdre-mac-innes  I know that when I finish the challenge, I'll still be thinking about all of the refugees around the world who, come tomorrow, will have no choice but to continue to survive on rations and who, unlike us, can't just return home to the people they love, and eat what they want. #rationingfood #rations #rationing #rationchallenge #refugees #service #lovethyneighbor #lovethyneighbour #charityneverfails #charity #Love #helping #helpingothers #survivor #survive #endure #persevere #perseverence #home #challenges #challenge #righttolive #righttolivewithdignity #flatbread #flatbreads #homemade #homemadefood #loveneverfails #bekind #choosekindness https://www.instagram.com/p/CQoU88FrqF7/?utm_medium=tumblr

I got my 120g protein ration reward for raising £400, so far! 👏😁 I decided to go for cashew nuts as I really like them and there's quite a lot. We've been snacking on a few and plan to make cashew butter (like peanut butter) in the morning for breakfast to go on our flatbread. Thank you again to all who've donated to help the refugees and to help us make our extra rations which has helped our week go easier!! So far, our team has raised an amazing £1,278!! That's a lot of refugees fed!

Day 4 of the Ration Challenge. Cinnamon flatbread for breakfast again. It was tasty but I'm still hungry. Oh well. I can wait for lunch. If anyone would be willing to sponsor me that hasn't already done so, please do. I'd really appreciate it and so would the refugees you help. Thank you! https://www.rationchallenge.org.uk/deirdre-mac-innes https://www.instagram.com/p/CQfzOk_Lm_8/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day 1 Dinner We've made enough for dinner today and lunch tomorrow. We've used about a third of a can of kidney beans and chopped them up so they'd go further. We also used a half a can of sardines and another spring onion with the same flavourings as we did for lunch today, namely ginger powder, garlic powder, cumin powder and salt. It certainly is an eye opener having to measure out our food. It's showing me too though how little we can survive on and yet still have flavour in our food. We'll certainly be adding more of those spices to our food storage should a time come when we need them.  https://www.rationchallenge.org.uk/deirdre-mac-innes #ricebowl #springonion #kidneybeans #kidneybean #sardines #sardine #rationing #rationfood #spacingout #measuring #beingcareful #ration #spices #garlic #garlicpowder #garlicpowder #cumin #cuminpowder #ginger #gingerpower https://www.instagram.com/p/CQZN8YlLzL_/?utm_medium=tumblr

I would love if this could be said of me. If I work enough at it though, I'm sure it could be the case.

These are some wonderful oils that help you feel good over the winter months to help with diet and emotions and overall good health. Which one would you go for if you could get only one? #rose #doterra #smartandsassy #eucalyptus #motivate #spruce #selfcare #blackspruceessentialoil https://www.instagram.com/p/CKXOX6bJxW8/?igshid=2v0ms6obqrwi

Motivate is one of my favourite blends that I go to when I need some time out to destress and relax. It makes me feel better straightaway and calms me right down. I wouldn't be without it. We also diffuse it as well while we're working sometimes when we need help to focus. Love love love it! ❤️🥰 Have any of you tried it yet? Do you like it? What oils or things do you use to relax when you need a time out?
