Father's and Mother's Day cards

-
 

Since I can remember I have always been making homemade cards, whether that would be for birthdays or mother and father's day. I just find it adds a bit more of a personal touch and uniqueness. This year I have created colourful, somewhat childlike illustrated cards and all I used was a pencil, a pen, acrylic paint and just some beads and sequins I found in my crafts collection. Super fun and easy, if you're looking for inspiration I highly recommend Pinterest.

Italy: A Coastal Food Guide

I think we can all agree that Italian food is just like heaven on a plate. The burst of rich flavours combined with the vibrant colours and smooth and crunchy textures will get your taste buds excited on all the feasts that Italian food has to offer. This will be a guide to lead you through all of the delicious food, such as pasta, pizza, gelato and more down by Rapallo, Santa Margherita, Portofino, Genoa and the Cinque Terre.  I'll start off with Rapallo, my favourite food place was at this hotel called Hotel Europa or as I liked to call it the pink palace, as it stood out from it's surroundings by its' vibrant colour. This hotel has a very wide restaurant space and a quiet calming atmosphere. The people who work there also seem to be Ed Sheeran fans, as there was a lot of his music playing quietly in the background, no complaints from me!😂I think it was my favourite place to eat, because the food was so creamy to the point where it melts in your mouth and it was so...

......................................................................................................................................       ........................................................................................................................................ It's becoming increasingly popular in our daily breakfasts and even dessert. I have recently loved adding this delicious oat, fruit and sweet blend into my food, especially smoothie bowls! Of course I love eating this combo for the taste, but also because it fills me up and I'm someone whose appetite is ridiculous and it takes something special like this to do the job! So if you love granola as much as I do and would love to learn how to make some, please see below for my recipe. Ingredients:  160g Oats 70g Raisins 6 Dried Apricots  20g Desicated Coconut 4 Brazil Nuts (Chopped) 1tsp 1/2 of Ground Cinnamon 1 tbsp Orange Zest 2tbsp Coconut Oil (Me...

Homemade Elderflower Cordial

Spring is slowly heading into summer in the UK at the mo, but as I am writing it is currently pouring down with rain and is very cold - classic. To be fair though it has been hot and sunny in the last few weeks, if you count 25℃ as hot, haha only in England. Anyway, I thought I'd share with you on how to make some homemade elderflower cordial, because it's that time of year and we actually have elderflower growing in our garden, which is such a revelation because we are not natural green-fingered people at home. If you don't have an elderflower tree/bush at home, then why not take a walk, you'd be surprise how much elderflower there is outside your front door! Below is the recipe for a refreshing drink that will keep you cool and your tastebuds tingling for more! Ingredients: 5 elderflower heads (make sure they are fully bloomed) 450ml boiling water 340g caster sugar 2 Lemons Also you need a glass bottle, which is sterilised - look at st...
