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!

CASUAL SUMMER LOOK//fashion , styling

 Doing Denim  I sometimes like to wear something that is just more relaxed and comfortable.  For some it might be a pair of shorts, but I like a dress. Whether long or short.  I just them more comfortable and airy on hot summer days.  Denim is one look I like . It’s a casual look that can be dressed up or down, just by changing the accessories you wear with it.  Heels or sandal. Simple jewelry, watch or bracelets.  There are so many ways to style a denim dress.  A great tote to carry the necessary items, sandals and sunglasses  I would add a nice colorful scarf for the hair or simply wear tied around the neck. 

Favorite Things 2023//fashion , items

 Favorite things  I really didn’t go overboard with any purchases in 2023.  Trying to keep to the sustainable fashion idea  of shopping my closet or using what I have .  Mind you there were somethings I thought about getting like a new pair of sunglasses, some shoes  sandals, new purse , but I still need new sunglasses. My old pair has some scratches on them sadly.  The two pieces I did get I absolutely love . Firstly a linen blend blazer in cream shade. It goes with so many things so can’t wait to spring to wear it again.  Also the new wrap dress I bought in spring.  The color I loved , the fit and style is nice to wear for dinners out, parties or weddings. A very versatile piece.   The other item was from a previous year but I had forgotten about it  was a nice surprise. I wore it over Christmas holidays. and got compliments on it . A knit top with sparkle accents.  It was so comfortable and warm . Absolutely loved it.  ...
