ENJOYING THE WEEKEND// lifestyle decor

LAZY SUNDAY MORNINGS

Yes that says it all.... today is one of those days! No energy or feeling of - Lets go somewhere.
Do you have days like that? Today is more a day i rather stay home, and maybe bake or plant some
flowers.

Well my luck with flowers or plants are not great, its seems like not much will grow. The problem is we have a north exposure and limited sunshine. I have tried lavender, hydrangeas, rose plant, irises and other bulbs but with some or very little success. And the annoying thing is I love flowers and gardens. That being said , we have a cedar tree in a pot and it has survived and grown tall. So 1 out of 10 is not bad.

So finally i thought i will check out faux plants to get some greenery. A faux lavender or hydrangea
Plus when we go on holidays won't need someone to water the plants. I figure that is a good idea .

So lets get started and make it green starting with a few pots to hold the plants.

Hanging or freestanding
both are nice to add some interest and shapes in the space, whether a patio, balcony or terrace.

SOME GREAT FAUXS

the look of a french garden with a lovely lavender plant

look amazing , this adds some height and does look real too.

ROSES ANYONE?

roses , hydrangeas or peonies

take you pick, something with more

stems and multiple flowers

will look more real.

NOT ONLY FLOWERS but some greenery adds to space and make it look more like
a real garden.

GLOVES are always needed, even for looking after faux plants or if you have live ones.

So how does your garden grow, do you have a garden or small space for plants you love?

Flying high // travel

B Time to Fly Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience. So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada . And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines. I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned and I won’t be booking any trips with them! Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs that should be included , NOT an extra expense. Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees then read this report via BBC. Truthfully people need to tell these companies NO . Even a handbag is next to the list. They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

THIS and THAT//fashion , festival

Season Changes Well it has finally cooled down which makes it bearable to be outside. Naturally the swimming pools , lakes and rivers have seen plenty o people . Festivals , Films and Fashion The festival season is winding down, but one that I anxiously wait for is the Venice Film festival. A movie and fashion lover can’t miss it! The return of Clooney on screen in Venice with his gorgeous wife is a highlight. Her fabulous fuchsia gown with the train was stunning . She stole the show! Of course there were other stars on the red carpet but no outstanding dresses . Movies some are getting mentioned . For myself I’m not sure what I be tempted to watch. Julia Roberts new one about college professor sexual harassment is a serious topic . Not light entertainment. One film with Helen mirren, pierce Brosnan about senior mystery book club sounds like light entertainment. The actors are all over 60 , s...
