Trendy Round Bohemian Blankets

Hi There!

I know I've been away for a while, but something has got me eager to write this today. So you know what's been trending this summer? These round, Bohemian Elephant print blankets!
They have been seen everywhere, like literary everywhere!

It's crazy, I know. But damn they are pretty cute  and handy. It's the most crazed item this summer and girls whose at the beach, at the park, at Yoga , at home or in bed have been spotted with these!

I have to admit, I fell victim to this frenzy too and got myself a few too. You can check out this shop out Manui, this is my secret source. They got loads of variety and I'm sure you'll soon fall victim too.

Tropical Punch

Well summer is here in the southern hemisphere and we are all looking for ways to cool off, while enjoying the festive season. I for one was gifted with a big watermelon and ended up looking for ways to consume it with my boyfriend before it got bad. So for Christmas I thought, why not make a tropical punch using some of the fruits at home.

First of all there was watermelon, then some pineapple, papaya and grapes. After making a temporary fruit salad, it was time to add some pineapple juice. With the fruit punch done, it wasn't quite complete without the addition of Vodka. Now we had the party started. Welcome Tropical punch!!

Sipping the punch all I could taste was the fruit juice, but the after taste was the real kick. This was when I realized, after a glass of this, I should be super healthy. I had so much fruit I didn't realize the booze had kicked in.

So if your looking for a way to consume all those fruits in your kitchen while still having a way to quench your summer thirst, why not make some tropical punch.. this has got a real kick. Super easy and super fresh. If you've got that one friend who claims doesn't take alcohol, this is a good way to have them participate ;)

My First Christmas Butter Cookie

Hi there,

Are you a baking or cookie enthusiast? Well I certainly am not, although I did know how to bake since I was 10. But this time was my first with baking Butter cookies.

A week ago I went grocery shopping after work and came across this Christmas molding tray. I decided to purchase it cause" tis the season" and also cause it was the last one on display.

A few days later and Christmas was approaching. So I looked online for an easy cookie recipe and stumbled onto this Butter Cookie recipe, which was actually one of the first search results. I'll leave a link below.

So it was 10pm and I decided to start baking. I had work the next day at 8am, but thought why not bake them and have it for morning tea at the office with my mates. Well the baking was done at 12:15am, a little longer than expected, but a worthwhile learning experience and one not to forget.

Despite having to face the terror of almost having the cookies stuck in the tray and waiting to cool then removing from the tray and washing it before placing in the second round of goods. The experience was great.

Christmas Butter Cookies

Overall the cookies were phenomenal. They were not dry as dust or hard as stone. It was soft and crumby and so sweet. It was my first Christmas Butter Cookie and one of my best so far.

Have a go if you will, and let me know what you think.

Stay fresh and Happy New Year!
