WHAT I ATE WEDNESDAY VOL 1

I decided to start another new series to my blog posts. What i ate Wednesday, pretty much say it all in the name. I thought this might help people maybe get food inspiration and what i eat. today meals were not the most healthiest but its not about that. its just basic what i ate.                 

                                                  

Starting off with the most important meal of the day. I had Oatmeal and added some Blueberrys in just so I'm getting some kind of fruit to the start of my morning. I do eat this often but sometimes like to change my breakfast meals around from time to time.

I haven't been food shopping yet so I'm just getting rid of the left over food now, so I just made myself a Jam Sandwich for Lunch and a glass of water with it. Not the healthiest meal but the sacrifices you make when you try to save money on food shopping so I'm fine with that. plus I do love Jam Sandwiches.

Late during the afternoon I need my Coffee fix, So I usually make a Latte, that way it keeps me from getting hungry in between meals and I can relax and do some work or Write in my diary.                                      

For Dinner that night I had Baby Potatoes, Chicken and some Vegetable mix. and added a little Ceaser sauce to the side which I love.                                                                                                              

Moving on to the Night time, I like to make freshly squeezed orange juice so I'm making sure I'm getting good stuff in my body. I did also have a Banana that day and an orange which i forgot to mention.        

I hoped you enjoy my What I ate Wednesday.

Easter Home tour

Hi my lovely blog readers. Today I decided to finally do my Easter home tour as everything is now set up and I've practically finished with this year's décor. I thought id show them and also this is on my you tube channel, if you prefer to check it out that way, i give all information on my items and prices.

We have in my hall way My Easter Wreath from Dumelm and I love this. it was not the kind of wreath I was after, but i saw it and it was very cheap for the design so I though why not. It looks great as you walk in the door.

My bedding so far for this season. My throw I recently bought from Urban Outfitters ended up being reversible to a vintage floral print. I am quite a hater of Floral, but In this case I will left it off with the acception it looks great for Easter!

On the bed I've just put my Easter Pillow I made last year on the bed as accent. it's a little damage as its been in a box in the attic this whole time so Not in it's greatest condition. plus I actually made this out of my scrap fabrics cause i got bored, so It's very roughly done.

I didnt want to put all my stuff up cause it would be to much. but if you want to see everything else, you can check out the video I will post underneath this

Easter Trophy Tree DIY

Back with another Easter DIY project for you guys. If your looking for a really fun simple idea that makes a great addition to your Easter Decorations this year, this is definately a fun project to work on. It will take more patience that the difficult it might appear to be.

Level- Easy

Supplies you need

Speckled Eggs

Hot glue gun 

Plant pot 

Wooden spoon

Ribbon

Easter Grass

Sphere Ball

Wet foam Brick

I start by Taken my Wooden spoon and painting a long the stem a brown shade so it appears to look like a tree stub and I just messed around with the tones to my desired result, you can paint this any color you want.

these are just the colors of my supplies what i picked out from Hobbycraft which were on a 2 for the price of 3 deal so I got green and pink eggs and the green ribbon which i think are very vibrant and stand out.

I got this metal Plant pot from Ikea for £1.00 and i think it really make the tree look more sorted to my project but you could get really colorful tins also from ikea which will also look great for this project.then after your wooden spoon dry's, take your foam brick and slowly put the top on the spoon into the foam so it supports the stick and glue down to the pot so its stable and holds the weight of your ball which we will add now.

then I slowly added the foam sphere to the top of the wooden spoon and glue it down so its not loose and it stay supported and you will put a lot of pressure on it while glueing your eggs to it later.

Now you can begin glueing the eggs on your foam Sphere. I started adding then randomly but changed my mind and just arranged them by row in the end, i think its look neater that way and you will have no gaps between them.     

   I then went around in all the open spaces and added moss so that it fills out the ball and looks more natural

                                    and there you have it a Easter Throphy tree
