CAFFEINE, SUNSHINE
& UPCYCLED
FLORAL FUN
Enjoying a tiny, caffeinated cuppa in front of our former shop . That repurposed chest of drawers / planter I’m sat next to was the best ‘Pinspiration.’
The key to keeping it around for more than a year of bipolar Scottish weather was yacht varnish. Yearly coats of that sticky - tedious to work with but necessary - stuff was necessary.
WONDER WOMAN POWER POSE, ROCK THROWING, AND LETTING GO.
OK, let’s begin with Wonder Woman. I love this character, and I have been drawing upon her strength lately. I like all the various versions of her, but for the sake of the post, and also because she's my fave, I wanted to show Lynda Carter's old school depiction, standing in all her BADASS glory.
MY VERSION OF BULLETPROOF COFFEE: WHY I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR OVER A YEAR.
Anyways, if I've been consuming a good amount of my coffee throughout the morning, I don't really get any hunger pains till about 2ish. This is one of the reasons I drink the coffee. It truly helps to keep the hunger away until later in the day when that eating window opens up. The oils (or butter if you're using it) really and truly keep that hunger at bay.
