...at some of the succulents that didn't make it out of the greenhouse this year.

The top patio is once again home to a succulent display, similar to how we did it last year (albeit on 'steroids' this year, coming up on a post soon). And because we haven't really bought that many plants this year, at least compared to our usual rate of plant buying in previous years, I used a lot of what I had already to make the display.

Still a few didn't make it out for various reasons. Here's ...

Let’s talk about eco friendly school supplies.  You see, here in Scotland we’re winding down the summer holidays and gearing up for back to school season.

I know it’s cliche, but I seriously cannot believe my eldest starts school in just a few short weeks.  She is very excited but I can’t help but feel a bit apprehensive.  And, if I’m being perfectly honest, feeling a tiny bit of relief – trying to keep a pre-schooler entertained all day every day...

So I'm packing for a fairly long trip - which means major planning on my part. What (if any) parties am I going to? How much walking will I be doing? Do I have shoes to go with every pair of trousers?  Have I accounted for every type of weather I might experience? Does everything in that suitcase match at least two other garments? etc etc

I usually make lists that end up looking like Venn diagrams as I strive to ensure that the stuff that goes in will serve a multitude of purposes and will be worn. Читать дальше...

I am often asked about perfect steamer baskets for the Instant Pot available here in the UK so I thought I'd compile them in one place, the Feisty Tapas blog (of course). The Instant Pot's inner pot has a diameter of 20 cm so you need something that will fit in there (some of them actually indicate that they are suitable for 20 cm pressure cookers, like the Kuhn Rikon).

These are the baskets that I have or have good reviews ...

Angel Thierry Mugler Perfume is a wonderful and sweet smelling perfume that has been out on the market since 1992. It was created by Olivier Cresp and Yves de Chirin.

Today I am comparing 2 very similar products: the Supergoop! Defense Refresh Setting Mist and the Coola Makeup Setting Spray. Both products come in convenient spray bottles and promise to set your makeup while providing sunscreen. Since it is hot in summer, this seems like a nice way to apply sun protection on your face without causing any extra greasiness. But which one performs better?

So I have been thinking about this one for awhile and it isn't easy when you have 35+ artists spanning the course of 4 days of music. But I have managed to get my The Top 10 Must See artists at Boots & Hearts this week narrowed down. These are artists that put on a hell of a show and usually have you begging for more. Lets start off with

Demorat, of course.

From MyNorthwest.com: Jesse Wineberry, a Seattle Democrat running for Congress, was detained after driving a van that was reported stolen and being extremely uncooperative with police. And now he’s claiming a “conspiracy” to stifle his political career, according to a police report.

Seattle Police Officer Benjamin Flick found a red Toyota that had been reported stolen in the 1500 block of Occidental Avenue South on July 20, according to the report. Wineberry... Читать дальше...

My Artist Crush for August 2016 is Karen Parsons. I had the utmost pleasure of meeting Karen and working with her in The Crafter's Workshop booth at CHA in January of this year. I found her immensely charming immediately. You can tell she loves creating art and sharing it with other people. She has an engaging personality that you can't help but love. Since meeting her, I have been able to stay in touch and see more of her work and amazed by all of her artistic abilities. Karen creates beautiful... Читать дальше...

As well as the obvious heat insulation and energy saving benefits of double glazing windows and doors, many people also opt for uPVC frames for their strength and durability. And whilst these frames are sturdy and reliable, they can still benefit hugely from a bit of care and attention.

Those muscles need good protein and healthy fats to stay strong and lean. This Paleo Beef Buffad will fuel them right, fill your tummy and please your taste buds in the process.

Ok. I finally broke down and used my stove. It was an epic battle of heat, sweat and lots of water chugging, but after a week of tough workouts, I was really craving something hearty. I turned the fans on full blast and just got down to ...

Top of the bill this week are the first of my Spring Onions:

I'm very proud of these onions, because they are the first Spring Onions I have grown that have reached a respectable size. My various earlier attempts had not met with a huge amount of success. They key thing I did differently this year was ...
