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.
YOGA AT HOME. MOSTLY SEATED WITH MY EYES CLOSED. AND SOME CHANTING.
I wont lie to you, I am still a naturally stressful person. But I REALLY want to calm the eff down more often. So that's why this week I wanted to write about something I've been drawn to in the past, and again lately. Yoga. The only difference is, I started doing it at home.
INTERMITTENT FASTING & 5:2 / ABOUT 15 MONTHS & 50 POUNDS LATER.
During this time I would eat a lot of what are considered healthier and more balanced foods. I would say about 75% of my diet was healthier, and about 25% was gorgeously naughty food. I LOVE FOOD. The good, the bad, and the naughty ;) I still do, and I still indulge.
