How to save more money on your monthly bills

Learning how to save money is something that everyone needs to learn how to do at some point in his or her life. Some people learn financial responsibility sooner rather than later, and this article will provide you with some guidance on what you can do in order to start living within your means. For starters, you should cut back on any unnecessary expenses. You will need to learn how to properly budget, sell your unused items, cook more at home, and even find energy efficient alternatives to what you currently have within your home. Check the details below… Cut back on your unnecessary expenses It can be easy to spend money, but how many times have you really stopped and thought to yourself whether you really needed something? In order to cut back on unnecessary spending, you need to think about your needs versus wants more often. It’s completely reasonable that you will want to treat yourself ever so often, but you shouldn’t make a habit of spending more than you earn on...

MOTHERHOOD during the war, even when its not in yo MOTHERHOOD during the war, even when its not in your county:

Is emotionally exhausting.
Is extra frightening.
Is not fun for a child.
 
A year ago fist steps (in #Trnava #Slovakia). Visiting his grandparents. Looking forward to first holiday by the see…

Such simple life… even during covid!

Now my only wish for him is to never experience such madness and to be more fun for him. Trying hard not to loose my self in thoughts about my motherland 💙💛

Happy Mother’s Day to me, to my mom, to my auntie, to all 🇺🇦 mothers! 

Be safe 🤗
Be loved ❤️
Be happy 😃
Be grateful 🙏 

No mother ever should be worried about her child being lost in senseless war of politicians!

🇺🇦 COOKING IDEA: BORSH My & pretty much eve 🇺🇦 COOKING IDEA: BORSH

My & pretty much every 🇺🇦 favourite meal! How do I know it? Simple…

1️⃣ everyone has its own family recipe
2️⃣ everyone can create its own favourite variations of it
3️⃣ its an amazing combo of vegetables, meat & soup
4️⃣ it can be vegitarian 
5️⃣ it’s healthy & delicious 
6️⃣ it’s a family meal, the amount of ingredients makes it impossible to make one portion 😂 So share it with your friends or neighbours 
7️⃣ anyone can cook it, no special culinary skills are required 

So if you never tried it, please do so this weekend! 
BTW yes, borsch is Ukrainian national meal NOT 🇷🇺 never was, never will be! 💙💛

Link to my favourite family recipe is in the bio of my profile 👆

Also to find your favourite #borsch recipe try more of them for example from @klopotenko or @oliahercules 

So good luck and enjoy taste if #ukraine in wateva form and of course #СлаваУкраїні #ГероямСлава 💙💛 #weekendfood #weekendrecipe #ukrainianfoodrecipes
MORNING RITUAL 

Favourite spot on the window. 🤩

Standing there I remembered how I spent hours staring through the window as a kid. 

Melancholy… as I grew up in Kyiv 😍 This huge window to the world was mesmerising 💙💛 #loveKyiv #KyivwithLove #MyHomeTownKyiv #windowlove #babymorning
WHAT DID I LEARNED DURING 50 days of sickness 48 WHAT DID I LEARNED DURING 
50 days of sickness 
48 days of war in 🇺🇦

Two days before the war in 🇺🇦 we went to emergency room (in 🇨🇿) with my little Beanie ❤️ …nothing serious just a cold / flue with temperatures out of the charts…

But since then we went through everything- temperature, cough, sleepless nights, non-stop nose hoovering, throwing up, antibiotics, eczema, tantrums… you name it. 

I came back to work after 2 years, and that same week my partner had to travel abroad and Benji became ill again 😂 and few days ago I lost my voice 😂

So what did I learned:
apart from the fact that whispering is worst than talking when loosing voice (fact from a Dr)… and that toddler ignores whispering mother even laughs at her 😤

1️⃣ Nothing is impossible - literally - Idiots can start wars & bring death and suffering to innocents, while whole world is watching. While people who yesterday complained about covid masks are today travelling to 🇺🇦 borders helping people they never met. People around 🇺🇦 are self organising into groups of volunteers, bringing food & helping with evacuation.

2️⃣ People are stronger than I thought - taking care of ill kid while being sick yourself and acting like a family coordinator across 3 countries. 🇺🇦 people rising up to defend their home, #democracy & #freedom . My auntie leaving #Kyiv with one bag and a dog… despite all fears and danger. 

3️⃣ Politics matters - When the time was hardest I thought of mothers giving birth in basements and children leaving in bunkers… and felt grateful for the luxury of living in peace ☮️ This luxury can not be taken for granted.

UNFORTUNATELY we all have to be interested in who is in power in our country! Who is in charge of our lives & homes! #votevotevote #yourvoicematters 

Let’s show that our communities are capable of change beyond instagram and facebook chats! 😍

2020 IN KYIV 🇺🇦 Auntie Tania & friend Natas 2020 IN KYIV 🇺🇦

Auntie Tania & friend Natasha. We went for shopping & coffee. Stoped by to see exhibition of an Ukrainian photographer. 

Just a normal girl’s day out. ❤️

Exactly 2 years later they are both homeless. Living in different countries & in constant fear for their men they left behind… 🤷‍♀️

How can anyone think that we want this? That we came to still what’s yours?

How cold & damaged someone must be to not being able to understand the tragedy of this situation? To be jealous of those leftovers that Ukrainians now receive? 😡

🇺🇦 prezident @zelenskiy_official keeps asking you for your old SOMETHING, ANYTHING… old equipment! And still you take your time and see as like lesser people. WHY?!

Why are Ukrainians good enough to clean your houses and raise your children but not good enough to protect?!

Wake up world!!!
🇺🇦 had one dead city, now we have dozens of 🇺🇦 had one dead city, now we have dozens of them 😢 

CHERNOBYL 4 years ago today…

One of the 🇺🇦 disasters, that we thought was the worst.
One of the 🇺🇦 disasters that killed many of our friends & family members. 😢
One of the reasons for imigration.

Photos:
1️⃣ Did you enlisted?!
2️⃣ Chernobyl carousel 
3️⃣ Kinder garden 
4️⃣ Toys
5️⃣ Abounded cars 
6️⃣ The electricity wall that disrupted radio signal in Europe for decades
7️⃣ Grocery store
8️⃣ Furniture store
9️⃣ The memorial for all destroyed villages in 50km zone around #chernobyl 

How long will be a memorial after this war in 🇺🇦?!? 🙄

Can’t imagine the pain the people are going through every second!

Walking in that dead city, 4 years ago, and see people who returned to the poisoned land - simply because it’s their home - was emotional & horrifying. 😔

The invisible killer is still there… today in 2022

However now the much more visible & louder killer came. The brutal human force instead of physics is killing without right, without mercy. Zero disregard for any life.
Zero respect to any rules or laws 🤷‍♀️

Watching news today, 36 years after #chernobyldisaster, I can see less and less difference between radiation and 🇷🇺 soldiers. #pointlessdeath

I guess we all thought more highly about humanity before #covid and before #ukrainewar 🤷‍♀️

Slapping flag into your profile, hardly helps people under shelling. #closethesky #saveukraine #stophistoryfromrepeatingitself
VITAJTE! Je tu zopar novych ludi. Tak je na mieste VITAJTE!
Je tu zopar novych ludi. Tak je na mieste sa predstavit ❤️

Volam sa Lesia, som Ukrajinka, dizajnerka a matka. 

Narodila som sa v Kyive 🇺🇦, dvom umelcom ktori uz 40 rokov tvoria tvorive duo @artduo_eu 😍

V nasej rodine je 🇺🇦 🇵🇱 🇷🇺 krv, vzdy sme sa rozpravali ukrajinsky aj rusky.

Cernobyl a zufala ekonomicka situacia prinutili nasich emigrovat. Zakotvili na 🇸🇰 v mestecku Trnava.

Stretnutie s “civilizovanym” a krestanskym svetom pre mna ako dieta bolo bolestive. 

Posmech, ponizovanie, totalna neznalost historie a geografie.

Po studiu grafickeho dizajnu v Bratislave, som pracovala a zila v v Prahe a Londyne.

Casom som sa vypracovala k projektovemu managmentu, dnes pracujem ako UX dizajner v Prahe.

Rada sa kreativne realizujem a tak robim sukromne zakazky, venujem sa forografii a milujem interior design @bilo.home 

Mam blog www.biloshytska.com kde zdielam svoje zazitky, myslienky a rodinne recepty. Instagram ho teraz nahradil.

Pred rokom a pol som sa stala matkou. Vtedy som si myslela ze byt covidova matka a mat dieta vyrastajuce v lockdownoch je najobmedzujucejsia vec na svete 😂 

Prekvapilo ma ako sa ludia rozdelili ake je vsetko decentralizovane. Ako kazdy kope za seba. 🤷‍♀️

24 Februara som definitivne stratila respekt vo vsetky vyssie organizacie ako su @nato a @unitednations . A uz ani nespominam @potus… aku nadej v neho vkladal cely 🇺🇦 narod! Ze svetovy policajt a ochranca predsa musi zastavit genocidu v Europe! Vsak? 

Ale nie. Vsetci sa boja sialenca s ktorym si uz 20 rokov potriasali ruky a robili obchody.

Nikdy som sa aktivne nezaujimala o politiku. Citim vsak potrebu teraz pomoct aspon sirenim sprav a historickych faktov! Vyrastla som na pribehoch mojich starych rodicov o Druhej svetovej vojne - to co sa deje teraz je Dejavu. Z rozdielom ze svet o tom vie hned, ale napriek tomu sa to deje!

Ukrajinci nemaju sancu na pauzu ale ja sa budem snazit o kombinaciu nasho kazdodenneho zivota a prinasanie sprav o aktualnej situacii s mojej rodnej zeme. Kde dnes bojuje aj moj bratranec Andrej! 

Vitajte a podelte sa o svoje myslienky a nazory. Budem za ne rada.

Lutujem tych koho to irituje, riesenie je jednoduche - Unfollow 😘
🇺🇦 Ukrajinsky statny znak - trojzubec. Je ti 🇺🇦 Ukrajinsky statny znak - trojzubec. Je tieto dni premna este vetsia srdcovka ako doteraz! 

Som vdacna ze moj partner @vaseknemecek mal ten skvely napad ozdobit nim nase dvere pri rekonstrukcii v roku 2020. ❤️ Namaloval ho moj otec #MykolaBilart @artduo_eu a dvere mame od @sapeli_ 👍

🇸🇰 a 🇨🇿 wiki je dost strucna o vyzname trojzubca, precitajte si nizsie. Pre mna vsak bol vzdy najdolezitejsi fakt ze to je nielen znak ale aj slovo - воля “volia” vôľa. Tiez  sa chape ako sloboda ci buducnost. Ked poznate azbuku - mozete trojzubec precitat 🤓

Na internete vidim casto spojenia s nacizmom ci rozne extremisticke spojenia. Ale tak extremisti sa najdu vsade. Pre ukraincov je to znak sily, tradicie a historie. 
Amen 🇺🇦

Wikipedia:
“Trojzubec je na Ukrajině tradičním symbolem, který byl již na mincích Vladimíra I. v letech 980–1015. Část poslanců nový znak při schvalování nepodpořila, důvodem bylo užívání znaku oddíly Ukrajinské povstalecké armády pod vedením Stepana Bandery za II. světové války.”

1️⃣ my baby boy his last day in nursery, before this hidious #ukrainewar 
2️⃣ nursery in Ukraine, one of many mombed in last 12 days (2022)
3️⃣ nursery at Chernobyl (2018) after a nuclear disaster in 1986. 

One generation growing up on horrific stories of #WWII , #gynocide , killings and discrimination under #SovietRegime while still dreaming about #BrightFuture  uncle #Lenin promised us. Just to be poisoned by #Chernobyl and live through food shortages. Than thinking amazing I made it’s all just in the past… Oh wait! My country is bombarded everyday while ‘united’ world is watching…

Im angry… very angry. How much bad luck can one nation absorb in 100 years?! #enoughisenough 

Think on how would we explain to all those refugees children, why they don’t have a country anymore?! #stoprussianaggression #today so Ukraine can have it’s #tomorrow 🇺🇦 
#closethesky #helpukraine
POOREST COUNTRY IN #EU, seems to have biggest ball POOREST COUNTRY IN #EU, seems to have biggest balls. 🇺🇦

Few years ago a friend of mine said: “… Of course Ukraine is not in EU. It’s too poor and there is a lot of corruption. Your economy is weak and people are on different level.”

Back than I just shrugged my shoulders and didn’t defend my view.

However now I want to! I need to! I have to!

Remember Berlin wall and USSR? How much changed for people when it all ended (1989 & 1991)? 

• The breath of a fresh air Europe felt? 
• How countries progressed with law  and development? • • How people felt free and empowered?! 

Ukrainian people were ready! Ready for freedom.
Ready for restoring their nation.
Ready for moving into 21 century.
Ready to build its economy.
Became valuable member of Europe.
Coming closer to the west and western principles of democracy & solidarity. 

BUT than we realised that our bigger brother (or like Russia likes to call itself - Mother Rus) didn’t really let us go.
Ukraine was suddenly trapped between West & East.
Trying to juggle what Ukraine needs vs what Russia allows and what West will let us have… Always threaten with punishment for ‘bad behaviour’ for choices that Russia haven’t approved or liked.

FAKE IT UNTIL EVERYBODY FORGETS THE PAST:
🇷🇺 always called it self older, superior to other nations. Suppressed others culture and traditions. Kyiv is 2000 years old city. Moscow is 1125 years younger. In light of today’s events (war) its basically a teenager in a rage 

🇷🇺 always kindly reminded us, it was THEM who saved us from Germany. While 4,5mil Ukrainians fought in the great ‘Red Army’ 🤷‍♀️

🇷🇺 always pointed out our weak economy and cultural tensions, while they are once responsible.

🇷🇺 managed to push Ukrainian language to the background. Labeliy Ukrainian language as language of poor uneducated villagers. When Ukraine established as their official state language Ukrainian again - they somehow interpreted as racism 🤷‍♀️ There is 30% of Russian speaking Ukrainians.
Can you imagine such a thing in your country?

🇷🇺 Stalin basically erased Ukrainian intellectuals. My grand granddad, an architect, was amongst them.

THE REST OF MY MESSAGE continues in comments… ➡️
LONDON STANDS WITH #ukraine 🇺🇦🇬🇧 Than LONDON STANDS WITH #ukraine 🇺🇦🇬🇧

Thank you! BUT also dont forget to - donate, share real news, demand actions, whenever & however you are. 

If you are scared to be involved today IMAGINE how scared would you be when 🇷🇺 is done with 🇺🇦 and heading your way!
