Lately I have been distracted. 🤍 When I first started this series I had no expectations. I always wanted a proper cooking channel where I could showcase my cooking but I always procrastinated and never actually did it. This time, life made me do it in the form of a budget series. And every time I post I feel this unique joy and fulfilment that I have never felt before. I worked in corporate for 5 years and I loved my job, but this is the first time something outside my comfort zone gave me this kind of dopamine. Lately I have been missing home. My apartment in the UK, my fur babies, my life back there. Some days it just hits different and I find myself just wanting to go back. But maybe I just need to keep believing it’s gonna happen no matter what. 🤍 Today I made crispy fried silken tofu. ✨ Crispy Fried Silken Tofu Ingredients 1.

Enjoy. 🤍 Always remember, having a student loan is ok, not having your life together is ok, problems are ok they all come and go just keep going bro. Rooting for y’all 😎 With love, Noona 🤍💅
