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

Monopoly

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!

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person. These computer generated images look so real that people are actually thinking it is a real person. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of? Okay maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars gorgeous , flawless and h

CAMOUFLAGE STYLES// Fashion, designer

SOMETHING DIFFERENT I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui , I was in AWE. Such vibrant prints that make a statement . The prints or the checkerboard are definitely eye- catching. ( I happen to have a checkerboard top that I wear as a coverup) This might not be for everyones taste, but sometimes it is fun to be a bit wilder! THE SWIRLS love this print and the colour combination . Vibrant and fun! A MOD- FLORAL this print that looks like a Sunflower is perfect for summer.
