Mothers day DIY; Sustainable flowers that will last

This mothers day give mom flowers that will last. They are cute and versatile. You could stick them in a cake or hang them on a string like a garland or just in a jar.

What you will need:
-Paper in color and/or print
-Skewer sticks
-Scissors
-Glue or tape
-2 sizes circular object for measuring
-Colored duct tape or tissue paper 

Cut flower shapes out of your paper. Use a smaller shape for the middle. You can play around with the width of the "petals". Cut a slit into the flowers and over-lap one "petal" over the other and stick them together.

I used metallic duct tape for the center op the flower, but you can also use tissue paper.

Stick the flowers through, add the center by just rolling the tape around it. You can even add leaves.

 Et Voila! Flowers that are sustainable and will last.

Make a little succulent garden by displaying them in a type of small green-house or square vase. (see images above and below).

1. Hammer in holes on each side, for the cans to be able to hang.

2. Tape them where you would like to paint them.

 3. Pull through a rope, string or like I used raffia.

Happy Sunday

A breakfast yogurt with hemp and chia seeds, fresh blood orange and mango juice. 

blood orange is a good change from regular orange or grapefruit. I got mine from a Farmers market last weekend, they are winter fruits so almost out of season (get your hands on 'em while you can!). 

Since becoming a pescatarian I have also been into discovering different foods and "super foods". 

Hemp and chia seeds add great nutritional values to your daily meals. For example, hemp is high in protein and chia seeds can be used to substitute butter in any baking recipe as well! 

I'm off to a yoga detox class! 

Happy Sunday!

Weekend Delights; Outfit, Flowers and Lunch ideas

One of my favorite pass times should be roaming the market, getting inspired by all sorts of things, getting some fresh goodies and flowers. That's exactly what I did the other day. 

*Why not arrange your flowers in one of these (hermetic) jars instead of a regular vase.

Crostini Lunch;

Use rustic bread, that is bread that is a bit dense and chewy. With a baking brush, brush on some olive oil and toast in over for a few minutes.

Crostini 1. Soft goat cheese with nuts and honey, from the oven.

Crostini 2. Raspberry jam (or any other tangy jam), Parma ham and topped with arugula salad.

Crostini 3. With home made chunky guacamole. (Chop avocado, red onion, tomatoes add some lime/lemon juice salt and pepper)
