THIS AND THAT

FLOWERS FOR FRIDAYS

a lovely rose plant will always cheer me or anyone up

these soft pink roses so delicate , that and a interesting book, scented candles

make me happy during this lockdown.

SIMPLE DIY a Lovely room diffuser.

Now that we are in the 2nd full lockdown ,seeing how we will be stuck inside for awhile thought it is nice to have a room diffuser .

I decided to make one after reading a how to . So simple and easy . Now i am collecting bottles suitable to make more.

Finding the right type of bottle with a narrow opening , some bamboo sticks, essential oils , water and a carrier oil. It suggested one can use vodka as a carrier, the alcohol helps to dissipate the oil.

Surprisingly it worked.

CARRY ON BAKING

Yes that seems to have become a new hobby, baking. Something different then a banana loaf.

Two of my favourite thengs , chocolate and strawberries.

So voila, a cake for a weekend treat.

A Delicious Black Forest cake.

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. ...
