The ketogenic diet, also referred to as the keto diet, is a low-carb diet where the body uses ketones produced in the liver for energy. A typical keto diet usually consists of around 70% fats, 25% protein, and 5% carbohydrates.

One of the biggest food intakes while on a keto diet is meat; both for proteins and fats. If you are on a keto diet or planning to try it, you’d be happy to know that meat steaks are very much welcome. Whether you choose to eat steaks in a restaurant or order steaks online from a place like Chicago Steak Company, this list of the best fat, juicy steak cuts to eat will help you enjoy your diet:

  • Skirt steak. Cut from the inner rib of a cow, skirt steaks are rich in fat and flavor. They are good for grilling or for cutting into strips to use in fajitas or kebobs.   
  • Ribeye steak. With up to 54 grams of fat in an 11-ounce ribeye steak, this is surely a fatty cut that’s good for keto. The high-fat content of a ribeye steak is not the only thing you will like about it. It is also affordable and easy to find.
  • Chuck steak. If you are looking for more affordable steak cuts while on a keto diet, put the chuck steak on your men. With visible layers of fat, this meat cut is tasty and flavorful but it can be tough and hard to chew if not cooked properly.
  • Strip steak. Cut from the short loin of a cow, the strip steak is tender and easy to prepare. It is also often called the New York strip steak, club steak (bone-in), and Delmonico steak. When it is still attached to the bone and has parts of the tenderloin attached to it, the strip steak becomes the T-bone steak and porterhouse steak.

Best Gifts for Travelers

Posted on by TT

While I was applying to an online blog writing job, the client asked me, within my proposal, to list the top items that I thought would be great gift ideas for travelers, here’s what I came up with:

Sleeping Headphones for eyes and ears (with Noise Cancellation)

The sleeping headphones basically combine eye masks and headphones. Instead of carrying around both (and we all forget to pack one of the two with our carry-on or purse), this item makes it easier to remember.

Available on Amazon

Hanging Toiletry Bag

The hanging cosmetics bag is something that every women needs, it’s rolled up and convenient to pack when you close it, yet it’s conveniently hangable and can be placed on any flat surface once you arrive to your destination.

Available on Amazon

Mini chargeable Hair Straightener

This wire free hair straightener – which doesn’t need to be charged for days – is another example of something that a woman cannot live without, and the fact that it does not need to be plugged into electricity makes it even more awesome!

Available on Amazon

Shoes Carrying Case

Available on Amazon

I think I’m going to go ahead and buy all of these gifts because they’re awesome, regardless of how often one travels!

When starting out in a given career, you need various tips to make it to the top. One of the things to do is starting out as a top candidate on recruiting platforms such as Reflik.com. Most people go out seeking a job without having a plan in place. It is akin to going to war firing your guns without aiming. We should focus on a few aspects to keep our prospects better at securing a given job. It is a matter of being different from the rest. Here are a few tips to stand out from the crowd;

Put together a compelling CV.

The CV should be straight to the point to avoid any type of confusion from the platforms for recruitment. Given that the online platforms use algorithms to find the right candidates, make the CV simple and effective. You are making a pitch for a job just like thousands of other people. You should not put together a CV that three quarters of the other candidates have. Include as many you unique and relevant aspects about yourself as possible.

Target your CV.

The CV ought to focus on the specific field you need. The algorithms aim for specific candidates and thus being ambiguous will not take you far. You need to put in order the particular skills that make you a viable candidate for the position in question. Do not put out there a general CV since no employer will find a reason to pick you from the rest. Rather, state explicitly how your set of skills are important to the goals of the firm you intend to be hired by. If you are great in strategic planning, for example, give your potential employer reasons why your planning skills will help them reach their targets faster and cheaper.

Update your credentials often.

Just because you have a compelling CV targeted to one recruiter does not mean you should rest easy. Rather, have in place a way of updating your skills and format. 

With these tips, you can be sure your pitch to be hired will stand a better chance at being hired by recruitment platforms. If you are pursuing a career in marketing, add that to your CV. When you are done, update it. Keep the CV updated and looking fresh at all times. Don’t let it gather digital dust with things you did five years ago.

In any type of job application whether online or in person, the aim is always to find what the potential employer needs. It is all about his needs then yours. If the focus is on finding a person with financial skills to work in a team, you can be sure that only those with this type of experience and skills will be picked on. Don’t forget that the employer will also be looking for someone who learns quickly. If you ever had experience to show you are a fast learner, don’t forget to mention it.

What is Interior Design: A look at a Craft and Art

Posted on by TT

Interior design is all about how we interact with our surroundings. It’s a vital component of our daily life that influences how we live, work, play, and even recover. Interior design at work creates comfortable homes, effective workplaces, and stunning public areas.

Interior Designers with the Most Talent Make it appear effortless

Designers use a diverse combination of abilities and technological expertise to create settings that anticipate our requirements and appeal to our emotions. Since its inception as a profession in the early twentieth century, interior design has evolved considerably.

Interior designers are expected to be familiar with the following topics:

  • Textiles, materials, color, space planning, and sustainability are just a few of the topics covered.
  • 2D and 3D computer-aided design (CAD) software, as well as building information modeling software (BIM)
  • Building codes, structural restrictions, and health and safety concerns

Interior designers today collaborate with contractors, architects, engineers, artisans, furniture merchants, and company and home owners. You’ll need a well-rounded education and the ability to work across multiple disciplines to be a good interior designer (architecture; graphic design; decorative arts; and textile, furniture, and lighting design).

Education is the most effective way to acquire the abilities you require for success.

A degree also offers you the credentials you need to compete and grab clients’ attention in a culture that is increasingly embracing DIY design.


According to the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID),

“Completing an associate or bachelor’s degree is becoming increasingly necessary in the interior design business. Interior designers are currently required to be licensed in 26 states and jurisdictions. In many of these states, you cannot even call yourself an interior designer unless you meet or exceed a certain level of accredited education and in some cases pass the qualifying exam administered by the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ). Interior design practice is becoming increasingly regulated.”

A good Interior Design curriculum, with a strong professional focus, gives you access to internships and designers with real-world experience — vital connections that will assist you throughout your career.
