HOME PROJECTS

Hi Everyone!

By now many places have opened more things and we have a sense of normalcy in our lives. Hope things are going well wherever you are.

IDEAS for OUTSIDE

The week flew by so, so fast, we or I have been buzy working on a new project for outside. I mentioned it awhile back that our yard has a backyard shower which is basic , nothing fancy but to open for my liking , also it lacks places to hang things . i.e. towels etc. So I was hoping to make a screened in area and place to install some hooks to hold things.

Like the idea of a slatted enclosure that allows air to circulate through it, also cedar is ideal as it does not rot.

MORE FLOWERS

I received some rose plants last month that were so lovely.but now they are totally finished which totally made me sad. I watered them when needed , set them in a sunny spot and still they withered up completely. Only thing I think is the water is the issue.

So for now I am getting fake flowers for inside- these look lovely .

TALKING DIY

I happened to read a very interesting article about the dangers of DIYing.

With the lockdown people were getting into doing more DIY project around their places.

From painting to making things , wood projects.

Well there were some interesting points made, how the dust from wood can be inhaled into your lungs and damages them, just the smaller amount of wood dust.

Also the things of sanding wood surfaces or paint, one needs to wear a face mask so

you don't breathe in the fine particle.

Read the report here

So now that is on the list of things to get. more facemasks, goggles , gloves

Happy DIYing guys , girls !

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.
