Mushroom Cupcake Love!

***

Due to the holiday I don't really have much time to blog. Instead I've been super busy baking mushroom cupcakes (non-hallucinating ones! Haha) and making the best drawings with my little nieces.

Aren't they the cutest!?

'folding' drawings with my little niece! The top left is my favorite.

I'm thoroughly enjoying my week at home so I'm gonna keep this blogpost short and sweet. Hope you're all having a great week.

Falling Garden

***While looking for inspiration I stumbled across the 'Falling Garden' by Gerda Steiner and Jörg Lenzlinger. Simply breathtaking...

I want it in my room.

Cupcake Tea!

***

 

I reckoned these pictures didn't need much text. Look at the cuteness! I have to admit the 'sweet honey' wasn't all that good and I missed a honey banana cupcake (or just any cupcake) to go with it... but the cute packaging totally makes up for it!

I ate Mickey, Daisy and Cinderella.

Even though I'm on a health kick (which is going great, I already feel so much better :)), I really wanted to go by one of my favorite shops to get some strange goodies!

First up are these Mangosteen Wafers. I had no idea what a mangosteen was! Apparently it's a tropical fruit and coincidently, it's also a 'superfruit'! Anyway, they looked so awesome that I just had to try them...

Like I kind of expected they didn't look as awesome as on the package (but they matched my nailpolish!). They didn't taste that good either. Personally I don't think a fruity flavor is supposed to be mixed with wafers :) The coconut chips are delicious though! Omnomnom. They have a sweet yet.. chips/crispy flavor

And finally: Disney Strawberry cookies! Look at that sweetness! Naturally, they were delicious. I knew they would be. I just bought them because of the high cuteness factor.

In creative news: I got a new journal/scrap/sketchbook! I love it so much! I think the fact it has paper brown pages is awesome. I've been keeping journals ever since I was little, and those journals mainly consist of pages and pages of my own personal ramblings. I've decided to get more creative when it comes to journalling my life so it will be even more fun to look back into them later on.

Cutesy stickers!

The first pages, about me longing for the English countryside and how great Pride and Prejudice is.

I might post some pages every once in a while. Only two more days until the holidays.. can't wait to go back home for a week..!

Wake Up. Drink Up.

***

I'm always on the hunt for things that will help me live a healthier life! Since Christmas I've really lost my self control when it comes to food, but I am determined to get back to my healthier self again! Not because I feel like I need to loose weight, but because I feel a hundred times better when I don't constantly eat sugary goodness (BADNESS!).
Now, I've already stocked up on veggies, fruits and other awesome power food, but another challenge I'm going for this week is: drink more water! Starting with 16 oz. right when I wake up to be exact.
I'm really loving her youtube channel Blogilates TV, there are tons of great work outs on there and other videos that will definitely motivate you and your healthy living! You should also check out the blog! I am determined to stick with drinking that water every morning for at least a week! Even though I drink quite some tea every day it's by far not enough to cover my daily need for water. I should get some lemons and fresh mint soon to make it tastier..
I would also like to share come recipes with you I've come across today:- Pasta with vegetable tomato sauce I didn't expect this to be SO good!- Banana ice cream made with... one frozen banana? I want to try it so bad.- 40 calorie flour tortilla the fact that ready made tortillas have so many calories always kind of bothered me, so I can't wait to try these!- Veggie Rainbow Wraps eat the rainbow! Healthy Happy Life is great in general for healthy recipes.

I want to start making smoothies more often again, they're sooo good (for you!)

Things on top of my grocery list right now:- all natural peanut butter- pineapple, - fresh mint- lemons- yogurt- all natural fresh oatmeal

Did you eat your veggies and fruities today?

Adele is my Valentine

***I ditched my boyfriends Ben and Jerry for Adele this year.

I've been listening to nothing but this amazing lady for the past few days. She just won SIX grammy awards, how amazing is that? And oh she looked so stunning that evening!

For today I picked out a bittersweet song of her's which speaks to me so much it's almost scary. In the most beautiful way.

I hope you all have a lovely Valentine's Day (and that my cards arrived on time!). Due to having a little break from school I haven't had too much to blog about artwise, but I'll be back with that sometime very soon.

Artist Feature: Anne Chambers (and Christmas cats)

***This Sunday I'd like to introduce you to...

I was just going through her super cute flash cartoons that simply made my grey Sunday morning nice and warm again <3 But that's only a small part of her website, which is filled with adorable, colorful work (which also includes the sweetest (turd) plushies!).

It's a turd pirate mermaid!!

It's hard to just pick out a few works, but let me Google it for you and enjoy!

While browsing youtube on Anna Chambers, I came across this awesome video that was tagged with her name (even though it's not made by her so I don't really understand why). Still, I had to share despite the fact Christmas has been long gone! I NEED THIS BOOK.
