A fleet of airline passengers have given their verdict on airline breakfasts, which include ‘juicy’ sausages, mediocre coffee and unappetizing-looking pancakes.

The travelers offer their reviews in TikTok clips and film themselves eating their morning meal, with each item also captured on camera.

Some have gone so far as to rank each dish, with influencer Ashley Yi rating her pork sausage on Korean Air an eight out of 10, while her ‘rather dry’ potatoes scored a seven.

On Malaysia Airways, TikTok duo @our.travel.diary gave their plastic-wrapped ‘white sandwich’ a three out of 10, but their tasty potato and egg omelette received an impressive ‘100 out of 10’ ranking.

Fly down and enjoy some of the eclectic breakfast snacks from the sky.

TikTok creator @munchwithyou filmed everything she ate on a Singapore Airlines flight for her followers.

It appears she was in one of the premium classes as her meal was presented on crockery rather than disposable cups.

The main ingredient of her morning meal was soy chicken with noodles, a croissant, strawberry yogurt, fruit salad and unglazed cupcake.

In the TikTok, she caused a stir among her followers by eating the croissant with a dollop of yogurt on top.

She said, “It’s so good, try it.”

Her followers didn’t seem convinced, however, with one commenting: ‘All the French people are now crying in a corner.’

Emirates

TikToker @anjaliwandelen took a Business Class flight with Emirates and documented everything she ate while flying in luxury.

Her TikTok reveals that the plane tray, decorated with a white cloth, contains several dishes, including waffles with berry compote, fruit salad and a croissant with butter and strawberry jam.

During the clip you can see her digging into the waffles.

In the accompanying caption, she explains, “This was so good, I still think about it.”

She also explained in the comments section that hot food was offered, such as an English breakfast, but she opted for waffles instead.

During a 16-hour flight to Sydney in economy with Air Canada, TikTok creator Sammy K (@skzzolno) went around and looked at her ‘breakfast package’.

In a video clip, she reveals a mix of morning treats, including “pancakes, fruit, a little bread and butter… utensils and water.”

Meanwhile, her friend sitting next to her shows her omelet, which she says, “looks really tasty.”

When she opens her plastic container of pancakes, Sammy seems less sure of her choice, but when she tries them, she changes her mind.

She tells her fans, “It’s pretty good. I mean, it’s not like good, good… but edible.’

On the way to the coffee, she describes it as a “simple black roast” that is “fine.”

Overall, she thinks the breakfast offering is ‘solid’.

Delta

Travel influencer Joanne, who goes by the handle @backpackerflipflops, created a TikTok to show off her breakfast while flying in First Class on Delta from New York to Fort Lauderdale.

Her camera pans around to reveal a main course that resembles a generous square omelet, accompanied by two stalks of asparagus and a tomato.

Other items on her tray include a croissant, which she said was “delicious,” and a bowl of fruit salad, which she notes “you can’t mess it up.”

However, she did not give the egg chapter a positive review, stating that she probably should have chosen one of the other two options offered.

“I just didn’t like this!” she exclaimed.

Korean air

While flying Korean Air, TikTok influencer Ashley Yi filmed herself eating breakfast, rating each item in her dish.

First, she takes a bite of chive omelet with fried peppers and gives an expression of delight as she savors the taste.

The egg creation gets an impressive nine out of ten.

She then tries a slice of pork sausage and gives it an eight out of 10, finding it ‘juicy’ and ‘good flavour’.

From the side of her dish, Ashley tries a mouthful of red-skinned baked potatoes, which she gives a lower score of seven out of 10 because they were “quite dry.”

Continuing her food review, she notes in the overlapping caption that “the spinach and cherry tomato were a 10 out of 10 with the omelet.”

Along with a hot breakfast, Ashley was given a croissant, which she said goes perfectly with butter and jam, a yogurt she wasn’t particularly fond of, and a giant muscat grape that she described as “ELITE.”

After her meal, she concluded, “We’re landing in two hours, but I’m having trouble staying awake after that breakfast.”

KLM

Izzy Laborda took a trip with Dutch airline KLM and made a TikTok capturing breakfast time in economy.

She explained in an overlay that “we’re having a bargain breakfast today with a side of Miss Congeniality” as she watched the movie on her screen while eating.

During her flight, she received a wheat ciabatta sandwich, strawberry yogurt, fruit salad and coffee.

In the clip, she exclaimed, “let’s eat, I’m hungry!”

She gave the sandwich, including egg, Gouda cheese and ‘dijonnaise’, an eight out of ten.

After finishing the stack, she grabbed the “cute cream and sugar wrappers” and showed the little packages to the camera.

While she was in the mood for coffee, Izzy was unimpressed with her cup of joe, giving it a one out of 10, along with a look of disgust.

Finally, she ate her fruit salad and gave it a satisfying 10.

Malaysia airlines

TikTok duo @ons.reisdagboek filmed themselves having breakfast during a flight to Kuala Lumpur on Malaysia Airlines.

She describes the first item as an ‘egg and vegetable burger’ and rates it a seven.

After the prepared dish, she unpacks a ‘white roll’ and gives it a three out of ten.

Meanwhile, her partner’s omelette with potatoes and egg gets a nod and a rating of six out of ten.

But as he chews a few more times, he gives it a ‘100/10.’

She continues with her own produce tray and her vanilla dessert gets a 10 out of 10, as does a miniature blueberry muffin to finish.

A GARDENING expert has shared her recipe for homemade plant food.

An unconventional ingredient in her three-step recipe was the key to extending the life of her flowers.

The expert (@fivefootfeminine) shared the trick with more than 320,000 TikTok followers.

“Did you know that adding bleach to your flower water will make them last longer?” she said.

“I know, it seems a little scary, but I promise it works.”

She explained that just the tiniest dash of bleach combined with a second ingredient worked wonders.

“Just add a little bit to keep the water germ-free, plus some sugar to keep the flowers nourished,” she said.

She diluted 1/4 teaspoon of bleach in 1/3 gallon of water and added a tablespoon of sugar.

“Try this with your Valentine's Day roses, I promise they will last ten times longer.”

Her viewers shared their testimonials about her hack in the comments.

“I've been doing that for years and it works great,” said one commenter.

“I do it every time I have flowers, it really works,” said another.

Some joked that they didn't need her trick, even though they wished they did.

“I'm not keeping this knowing I won't get flowers for any occasion,” one viewer joked.

WHY not try flipping the script on Pancake Day?

When you've had enough of the traditional treats, use the leftover mixture to make an even batter for later in the week.

7

Here are some ideas.

SAY FREEZING: Pour the batter into a large ice cube tray or small storage containers to quickly make individual pancakes.

When you want to use them, put the frozen portions in the pan with some butter over low heat.

The mixture thaws and cooks and you will have breakfast pancakes in minutes.

MUFFIN LIKE: Pour the remaining batter into greased muffin tins and bake in the oven until golden brown.

These pancake muffins are perfect for a quick breakfast on the go or as a tasty snack.

Add chocolate drops, nuts or dried fruit to make it even tastier.

ERASE OUT: Turn the excess batter into vegetable fritters for a quick snack or side dish tonight.

Buy a pack of frozen vegetables from Sainsbury's Stamford Street Co, 99 cents, and fry until soft in a pan.

Let it cool, mix it with the batter and season with salt and pepper in a bowl.

Heat the pan with a dash of oil and add the mixture spoon by spoon; this amount should yield one fritter.

As a finishing touch, grate some cheese over it.

SLICE 'N' EASY: Pour the remaining batter into a shallow, greased ovenproof dish.

Then randomly drop blueberries onto the surface of the mixture.

At Lidl you can buy a pack of Oaklands for €1.69.

Cook in the oven over low heat for 20 minutes until done.

Once cool, sprinkle with icing sugar or sugar and serve sliced ​​for tonight's pudding.

WAFFLE TIME: Use the batter to make fluffy breakfast waffles in a waffle maker – they're now reduced from £15 to £10 at Asda.

The crispy outside and soft inside of the waffles make them a delicious variation on traditional pancakes.

Serve them with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruit or yogurt.

A BEAUTY guru has revealed how a homemade haircare product stopped her locks from falling out.

She confessed that she was afraid she would go bald if her hair started to fall out due to an illness.

Rebekah (@yourstruly_rebecca) has over 18,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares beauty tips.

The 24-year-old, who lives in California, opened up about how she restored her hair's health while styling her curly locks.

“This bottle has single-handedly stopped my hair loss,” she said, holding a bottle containing a brown liquid.

“Over the past month my hair has been falling out like crazy.

“Why do you ask? Well, I got Covid in October and I know it can make you lose your hair.

“I have Lyme disease, which also causes a lot of imbalances and deficiencies.

“It had to stop, regardless of why my hair had to stop falling out.

“I had suffered from hair loss before and as a result my hair was already much thinner than it naturally was.

“Which freaked me out even more because your girl can't go bald, I could rock it but…”

Rebecca revealed that oiling her hair had previously worked to regrow her thinning locks.

However, she realized that using oil made her hair fall out even more this time.

“I had tried rosemary water before, but not super consistently,” she said. “I had not yet experienced the magic of rosemary water 100%.

“Anyway, I knew this was my last chance because nothing was working.

“Oh my god, this saved my hair,” she said, revealing the bottle contained rosemary water.

“Every time I touched my head, the hair just fell out. Every time.

“I started making rosemary water and spraying it on my scalp every morning and every night before I went to bed.

“And whenever I wanted to style my curls, or get a little extra protection or moisture, I covered the rest of my hair.

“It only took about two weeks before I really noticed that the shedding had stopped.

“Not only that, but so many new little hairs have grown back,” she said, showing off the sprouting strands.

“The hair near my scalp feels so much thicker.

“I can see there is a lot of new growth.

“There is literally no product in my hair except rosemary water. No gel, nothing.

“Make sure you spray it every day and keep track of when you're running low so you can make a new batch and there's no gap.

“Get started, let's stay consistent together and see what our hair looks like in a few months.”

Rebecca revealed that rosemary water has made her hair less frizzy and doesn't need to be washed out.

She recommended keeping the DIY hair care product in the refrigerator when not using it.

More than 3,300 people liked the video, and hundreds took to the comments section to say they planned to try rosemary water to stop their own hair loss.

“Same thing, oiling my hair made it look much worse. I hope this works,” one person wrote.

“Me, I'm going to do this, I hope it helps,” said another.

Rebecca's hack comes after an article published by Everyday health stated that there are no existing studies evaluating how effective rosemary water is for hair care.

However, a 2015 study on the more powerful rosemary oil found that the essential oil can be as effective as a 2% minoxidil hair growth treatment after six months of use.

Kourtney Kardashian and her rocker husband Travis Barker were spotted mingling with locals at Sydney's Bondi Beach on Tuesday.

The American reality star, 44, is having a great time Down Under as she posed for a photo with a fan while visiting Funky Pies.

Kourtney looked effortlessly stylish in a beige trench coat, paired with a black top and black sunglasses.

Travis, 48, looked casually cool, wearing an oversized white T-shirt with a black graphic on the front, black pants and a black cap.

The couple was joined by Kourtney's son, Reign Aston.

Blink-182's highly anticipated Australian tour kicks off in Perth later this week.

The American pop punk band, made up of Travis, Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus, have returned to Australia for the first time in seven years for their epic world tour.

They will kick off their Australian leg of the tour on February 8 and will perform at a range of venues in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

The band kicks off their run of shows at Perth's RAC Arena on Thursday and concludes their Australian tour at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena on February 29.

Kourtney's visit – who last visited Australia in 2013 to launch the Kardashian Kollection – and Travis' visit also marked their first major international trip with their son Rocky.

The couple welcomed their first child together on November 1, and the close-knit family is making the most of every minute together.

blink-182 last toured Down Under in 2013, but Travis did not join the band due to his fear of flying, which stemmed from being a passenger in a fatal plane crash in 2008.

Brooks Wackerman, of Bad Religion and Avenged Sevenfold, filled in on the sticks.

Travis has credited “the power of love” from his wife Kourtney for helping him overcome his fear of flying.

He said his partner “healed” him and his children after the crash in South Carolina 15 years ago, in which he was one of only two survivors.

He told the LA Times: “I think the power of love really helped me. Kourt got me flying, my kids fly now. She healed us.

'Every time I fly, it takes a little piece of my life. The amount of stress and anxiety it causes is simply unbearable. It brings up all this old trauma, and sometimes I think, 'Is this worth it?'

'But I also don't like anything having a hold on me. I don't like to be afraid, and I don't like things from my past determining my future.'

Travis shares children Alabama, 17, and Landon, 20, with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler. He is stepfather to Shanna's daughter Atiana de la Hoya, 24.

On flights, Travis puts on noise-canceling headphones so he can't “hear the landing gear retract,” listens to guided recordings from an energy healer, and prays for loved ones he's lost.

In August 2021, Travis successfully took his first ride on a plane for the first time in 13 years when he flew to Cabo San Lucas with Kourtney.

In September 2008, Travis boarded a private jet in South Carolina to head to Los Angeles after a show, accompanied by his friend Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein, his security guard Charles “Che” Still and his assistant Chris Baker.

As the small plane tried to take off, one of its tires blew, causing the plane to overshoot the runway, burst through the airport fence and over the nearby highway, eventually crashing into the embankment on the side of the road. .

The pilot, Sarah Lemmon, and co-pilot, James Bland, died within minutes of smoke inhalation and burns when the plane burst into flames on impact, according to the Chicago Tribune. Still and Baker were also killed in the collision.

Travis suffered third-degree burns over 65 percent of his body and had to spend three months in the hospital while he underwent skin grafts and 26 surgeries to repair the damage.

After the crash, Travis was overcome with debilitating fear, even at the sight of an airplane.

Sesame Street character Elmo has sent social media followers wild after asking how people were feeling in a viral post.

On X, formerly Twitter, Elmo asked in a post on Monday afternoon: 'How is everyone doing?'.

Since joining

So it was perhaps surprising that people used the seemingly innocuous tweet as an opportunity to trigger a “trauma dump” on the beloved red doll, who describes herself as three and a half years old and often refers to herself in third grade. person.

Followers bombarded Elmo with their marital problems, fear of climate change and existential dread.

The account has reached a new level of fame after its latest tweet, which has been viewed a whopping 170 million times, with more than 100,000 likes and 12,000 comments.

Although it was intended as a well-intentioned question – with Elmo seemingly wanting to check if people were feeling okay – it received a wide range of responses.

Many people took the opportunity to sprinkle their answers with dry humor and took the opportunity to vent any frustrations.

One user wrote: 'Every morning I can't wait to go back to sleep. Every Monday I can't wait for Friday. Every day and every week, for a lifetime.'

Another groaned, “Elmo, we're tired.”

A third tearfully joked: 'My wife has left me. Daughters don't respect me. My job is a joke. Any questions, Elmo???'

A fourth said: 'I'm at my lowest point. Thanks for asking.'

“The world around us is on fire, Elmo,” said another, while a fellow follower said they were “suffering from existential dread.”

“It wasn't like we all had trauma dump on elmo on my bingo card,” said one surprised follower in the wake of the revelation.

Elmo was clearly shocked by the level of interaction his post received, as he released a follow-up tweet that read, “Wow! Elmo is glad he asked! Elmo has learned that it is important to ask a friend how they are doing. Elmo will check back in soon, friends! Elmo loves you.”

The official Sesame Street account posted a link to several mental health resources on its website, saying, “Mental health is health!”

As people around the world continued to bombard the Sesame Street character with their woes, even President Biden took the opportunity to join the discussion.

His official

“Our friend Elmo is right: we need to be there for each other, offer our help to a neighbor in need, and above all, ask for help when we need it.

A landlord has sparked debate after increasing her tenant’s rent by $100 a week just before Christmas.

West Australian woman Kristie Hannah owns four rental properties, one of which is rented to a single mother with two children.

“I decided to increase the rent by $100 per week for my tenant, a single mother with two children, on the basis that a reasonable rent increase would have been an additional $140 per week,” Ms Hannah said.

‘I realize she probably couldn’t afford that. So I came to the conclusion that $100 would be a really good deal considering the suburb and it would be one of the cheaper rental properties on the market.”

Her tenant told Ms. Hannah’s property manager that if she passed on the $100 per week increase, she would be unable to feed her children and would be in serious financial trouble.

‘So now I’m in a position. Do I subsidize the tenant’s rent and pay it out of pocket… or do I tell this tenant that she can’t afford this particular suburb and she should look for a more reasonable place,” Ms Hannah said.

“It’s a very difficult decision and one I don’t take lightly, and it just goes to show that this housing crisis is really affecting people financially,” she explained.

Ultimately, she decided to increase the tenant’s rent.

“After further investigation, I have increased the tenant’s rent by $100 per week. Rent is still $30-$40 per below market value. Now I learn that you can’t mix emotions with business.’

Many Aussies criticized the landlord for being “greedy” and exacerbating the country’s housing problem.

“Jesus, I can’t imagine raising the rent by a hundred dollars a week. That would ruin anyone, let alone a single mother. What are you thinking of? Get some ethics,” someone said.

‘You and the real estate industry are the problem! Raising the rent based on your real estate greed. If you recognize the social problems, why are you exacerbating the problem?’ one more person added.

A third person shouted: ‘Is this satire? Surely you’re not such a terrible person.’

“I completely understand it’s your property, but raising the rent right before Christmas is a bit heartless and a $100 per week increase is high during a cost of living crisis,” a fourth person said.

However, Ms Hannah said she ‘cannot continue to bear the costs’ as she has to look after her own family.

Others defended Ms Hannah, claiming that owning rental properties is a business and not a charity.

“You have been more than generous. Push the full raise, if she’s that close to the line she’s going to have to leave that suburb shorty anyway,” someone said.

“If they aren’t glad they can move to a cheaper suburb, it’s as simple as that. You are still below market price,” said a second.

‘Take the emotion out of it! It’s an investment property, not a charity! As harsh as that sounds, it is the cost of success,” a third stated.

‘You’re not running a charity at the end of the day. Maybe you can leave it after Christmas as a gesture of goodwill,” another suggested.

Australia’s rental market has gone from bad to worse as unaffordable urban housing shortages have spread to the regions and rental price increases are outpacing wage growth.

National Shelter and SGS Economics’ Rental Affordability Index shows affordability has fallen in every city except Canberra and Hobart over the past 12 months.

Regional Queensland is now the least affordable place in Australia when comparing income to rental prices.

The average rent there costs $553 per week, reaching the rental stress threshold of 30 percent of an average household’s pre-tax income going toward housing.

Sydney saw the sharpest decline in affordability among urban areas, with a jump to 29 per cent of household income, which is in line with Hobart.

Melbourne and Perth also saw a 10 percent drop in affordability.

There are now far fewer more affordable areas for Australian renters to move to, said Ellen Witte of SGS Economics & Planning.

“It’s really starting to hurt the economy, people are having to live further away from jobs and companies are struggling to find workers,” Ms Witte said.

Rockhampton retiree Deb Lindley said she recently had to move after the rent on her old home rose by $120 to $480 a week.

She managed to stay there for several months until support from the state government program RentConnect ran out. Ms Lindley now lives in a cheaper small unit, which has no balcony or fence to protect her dog.

“I’m just really angry,” Ms. Lindley said.

The 69-year-old cancer survivor had to give away most of her furniture to move into her new home and believes the private rental market needs to change.

Data collected for the index showed that people on lower incomes suffered the most.

A single person on JobSeeker must spend at least 75 percent of their income on a one-bedroom apartment in urban areas and 53 percent in the cheapest regional areas.

Single retirees in every capital city except Adelaide and Hobart must spend at least half their income on rent, and at least 32 percent of their money on regional housing.

Emma Greenhalgh, chief executive of National Shelter, said tenants have been devastated by rent increases that far exceed income growth.

“Rental affordability in Australia is going from bad to worse,” Ms Greenhalgh said.

She said the problem needs to be approached from several angles, including building more social and affordable housing, immediate rent relief and a national standard for price increases.

She said the nation needs to have a serious discussion on tax reforms, especially negative leverage policies and capital gains cuts.

“We are currently marketing housing as a tool for wealth and not as a home,” Ms Greenhalgh said.

“These tax measures disproportionately benefit high-income households.”

The cost of living crisis is leaving more and more people in financial stress as we head into the festive season.

According to research from the Salvation Army, more than 12.8 million adults (62 percent) are ending the year worried about their finances, compared to about 50 percent last year.

The survey found that 31 percent of adults want to use a credit card to pay for Christmas expenses, up from 18 percent last year.

The number of Australians planning to spend money they don’t already have through buy-now, pay-later services has also doubled to 15 percent.

The charity is expecting a rise in the number of people seeking support this year and The Salvation Army’s Andrew Hill is asking the public to make a donation to its annual Christmas appeal.

“People are really struggling this year, which means Christmas is going to make things even harder,” he said.

“People are at a breaking point – and it hurts.”

One in four Australian adults will struggle to put food on the table this Christmas, while around one in three will find it difficult to pay utilities or rent.

Of those who will ask for help this Christmas, Mr Hill expects almost half will be doing so for the first time.

The charity aims to raise $25 million this holiday season to support those in need.

Last year it provided more than 66,000 bed nights for families needing accommodation and more than 132,000 meals.
