WEEKEND Delights // lifestyle

 ITS the  WEEKEND - hurray!!!

So its another weekend, time to relax, catch up on chores or get in touch with friends, watch a movie, bake or play some games.

Here are a few things I do enjoy to have or do on the weekends.


HEALTHY TREATS

My weekend treats for the mornings. usually a nice fresh bake bun , glass of juice milk, sometimes a coffee. But once in a while i will make myself a smoothy. A TREAT using up the bananas that are getting to ripe. A simple treat to make



STRAWBERRY BANANA SMOOTHY

take some ice cubes, milk, plain yogurt,(or flavoured vanilla), orange juice

toss into blender.

then ADD fresh fruit i.e. bananas,  strawberries

blend at high speed till ice cubes are chopped up.

Serve in a tall glass with slice of fresh strawberry  .

**You can use whatever fruit you like, raspberries, pineapple, orange, mango

or add juice for more flavour. Also you can skip the ice cubes if you prefer. 

I more or less go by consistency I like it to be more thick , not to runny.


FUN and GAMES






I use to love to play board games as a kid, then later when older would have friends over for the more challenging interesting games.  

What are some of your favourite games to play ?

Favourite Games to Play

TRIVIA PURSUIT (my Favourite)


GETTING GREEN

more and more people are bringing the green indoors. Buying indoor plants for the home has become a big thing. I love a few plants, but nothing seems to do well . I have tried the usual plants that I figure are suitable for the rooms light situation  with no success. I am beginning to think it is something in the water. But i love to have a few plants for the green and the benefits of.

Some plants to try. 

Peace Lily, suppose to be easy to care for. Does not need much light, partial sun. Drought resistant. I had one big plant in a north facing room, did well.

Norfolk Pine,  like it for it christmasy look, a small version of a Xmas tree.  Another plant needing less light. Ideal for a north facing room.

Orchids,  love them but find them difficult to grew. ( faux is my next option)

Others to try,  prayer plant, interesting leafs , Aloe Vera,useful plant for its salve.






HOPE YOU have a Super WEEKEND: ENJOY!

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...
