Book Review: The Mummy Bloggers by Holly Wainwright

Title: The Mummy Bloggers
Author: Holly Wainwright
Genre: Fiction, Humor


Coming to the book this is a story of 3 mothers who happen to share their lives daily online ie they are bloggers. Although they are very different from each other and have a niche and an audience of their own. The stylish mumma is a mom of two boys. She is rich and sexy and married to a man way older to her. The green Diva has two kids from her earlier marriage and is now in a lesbian relationship, whose partner too has two kids from before. She hs moved to the countryside and homeschools her kids and deapises everything that is non organic. The working mumma has three kids and slogs hard everyday to balance her job and motherhood. The blog is an outlet for both the working mumma and green diva but it's actually a business venture with lofty goals for the stylish mumma. 

However when an award with a huge financial perk is announced for the best mummy blogger, everyone becomes ambitious and dive into the process of grabbing that title (plus the money) Things get ugly as there appears death threats in the form of cuocakes, cancer scare and what not. 
This book is a hilarious yet practical depiction of what the blogger world is now today (especially the mommy bloggers). It's an excellent read and has been my best in this quarantine.

Effect of COVID 19 on edible oil industry and Palm oil

  The Corona pandemic has caused a havoc on the global economy. Some countries have been more affected than others. I however would like to focus on the effect of the pandemic on the edible oil industry and Malaysian Palm oil especially. Last week I attended a webinar hosted by the  Malaysian Palm Oil Council with Dr Bhavna Shah, country representative of India/Sri Lanka as the speaker and what she said about the palm oil industry right now is really food for thought. How has COVID 19 affected the edible oil industry?  The pandemic caused shutting down of restaurants and catering businesses and hence a drastic reduction in the  import of edible oils. People have reduced eating outside to a very large extent and also takeaway orders have declined. This situation was particularly grave during the lockdown period. The production of cooking oil comes under Essential goods services but the production of containers isn't. Labours migrated back to their villages from the ci...

Celebs who I love following on TikTok

The world almost stood still the past two months. While everyone stayed at homes and worked from within, my job didn't permit so. Yes I am a frontline worker (a medical professional) who had to go to the hospital during the entire lockdown time. I was double stressed: Catching the infection myself as well as silently passing on to my two little kids or my elderly parents. I have been seeing and hearing people cursing this quarantined life but they don't understand it's a privilege to be able to stay within the safe confines of home and work and earn. The only respite in this period has been TikTok. Yes, I am now a total TikTok convert.  If there's anything that got a boost during this Corona pandemic, it has to be TikTok. This app has seen billions of downloads and users in the past couple of months. And why not? It's like a breath of fresh air. After I come back from the hospital and undergo a rigorous sanitation regime to ward off any kind ...

SCHIPHOL AIRPORT TO AMSTERDAM How to reach to the city center from Airport is always a big question while travelling. By far car/taxi is the easiest and most convenient form. But it’s costly, if you are travelling solo or as a couple. There is no harm to save few bugs but yes, comfort is always a priority. Public transport in Amsterdam is very convenient, fast and comfortable.   Shciphol is world’s 14 th largest airport situated 22 Km south of Amsterdam city center. It’s well connected to the city center and nearby places by bus train and taxi. By taxi : The maximum start price of taxi car is near about 2.83 euro, with travel rate of 2.08 euro per km and travel time cost 0.34 euro per minute. So expect a cost between 45 Euros to 60 Euros from shciphol airport to the city center, depending on your location. You can need taxi especially at late night, when the trams stop functioning. The taxi stand is located just outside of airport arrival...
