a thought I find anything real and raw intriguing.

I love traveling, exploring hidden places and trying new food.

I believe coffee and books are a necessity.

To find yourself and to be only that is the essence of life.

Make time for yourself, go and sit somewhere where no one knows you and be you for a while, draw, read or simply think about life.

Balsamic Vinaigrette 1/4 cup olive oil 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 2 tablespoons fresh chopped basil 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard Kosher salt + pepper

Instructions Add the peaches to a bowl and toss with the balsamic vinegar and honey. Add the chicken to a separate bowl and toss with the olive oil, basil, oregano, salt + pepper. Preheat your grill, grill pan or cast iron

skillet too medium high and brush the grates with oil. Remove the peaches from the balsamic mix and grill the for 2-3 minutes or until light char marks appear, flip and grill another 2-3 minutes. Remove from the grill. Reserve any remaining balsamic mix for the vinaigrette. To the grill, add the chicken and prosciutto to grill for 5-8 minutes per side or until the chicken is cooked through and the prosciutto crisp. Remove from the grill and let rest 5-10 minutes. Thinly slice the chicken and crumble the prosciutto. In a large salad bowl, combine the arugula, tomatoes and gorgonzola. Top the salad with grilled peaches, chicken, burrata or mozzarella, and sliced avocado.

Sprinkle the toasted seeds all over the salad. Serve the salad alongside the balsamic vinaigrette (below).

Balsamic Vinaigrette Grab any remaining balsamic mix from when you tossed it with the peaches. To that, add the olive oil, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, basil, mustard, salt and pepper. Taste, and adjust seasonings to your liking. Serve alongside the salad.

You will need: 1 bag Rapid set concrete 20L Bucket (we bought ours from the hardware store) Cooking Oil Spray Dowell rod 2.4m in length (cut into 40cm lengths) Sandpaper White Paint Painters Tape Water to mix with and a stirrer

How to make a Concrete Stool/bedside table 1. Gather your materials. Cut the dowel into 6 even lengths, (we cut to 40cm each.) Then sand the ends so they are smooth.

2. Spray the inside of the bucket with cooking oil spray. (It makes it just slip out at the end) 3. We marked 7cm points on our bucket, so we had both stools at the same depth.

4. Then mix the concrete with water to a batter consistency.

5. Pour into the bucket, stopping at the dots marked, and give it a few good taps to get the air bubbles out.

6. Then push the dowel into the centre to form a triangle shape and lean the legs on the side of the bucket.

7. Let set for 48 hours.

8. Then gently flip over and remove the bucket.

9. Using painters tape mark off the same height around the legs, paint and once dry remove the painters tape and you are done.

Let this dry for a few more days

Jewel me, jewellery ˈdʒuːəlri/ noun noun: jewelry personal ornaments, such as necklaces, rings, or bracelets, that are typically made from or contain jewels and precious metal.

There is a fine line between too much and just right. Here are a few pieces you can never go wrong with; I promise you’ll never regret having them! These piece of jewelry can make a statement or be worn as casual daily accessories.

Oh, how I adore fashion.

I find articles about fashion absolutely pointless to be honest.

To me your style is something that represents you, an outlet to show the world who you are and what truly goes on in your mind. Therefore, here are merely a few photos of clothing I adore. Find who you are and wear that, find clothing you feel good in.
