Hearts

Why do I love wearing hearts even though my age is past 10, 20, actually, yes...30, and afraid to say it, even 40.... (and starting to hedge closer to the next one too)...

When I saw these heart shoes, I was taken. They're "Swedish Hasbeens", an interesting brand that are almost a type of wooden clog: handmade, sustainable, made from a lime tree and ecologically prepared natural grain leather, ethically produced, quality and hippy happy!

     Boy do I love wearing them! Surprisingly comfy given that                     Image from Lyst.com              you're walking on the branch of a tree!

  

I can't help but stop and take notice when I come across hearty things in the shops too. Love 'em!

Coloured cocoa butter

I've been interested in using this for quite some time. You see prettily coloured artisan chocolates, but for when we do decorated choccy cakes at school, I've wanted to have a go at achieving that characteristic glossy coloured sheen to see if it's applicable for decorations.

Dessert time!

Oh my gosh time has been flying by and I seem to have been consumed with eggs and bacon! But not your regular eggs made out of eggs and toast made out of bread kind...no...
I've been testing out a recipe from Darren Purchese's book, "Sweet Studio" (note: must visit the store next time I'm in Melbourne).

Ice cream!

Are you ready? This dessert is nearly too good to be true and too easy to believe!

It started off with a packet of cream that needed using up.

100 years of fashion

Just a quick two minute video that shows a great snapshot of fashion eras over the last century.

The 80's defy belief... I mean, are you kidding me?
Can you see any influences from past years in your wardrobe?

White chocolate crackles

These are the best white chocolate crackles....they actually crackle and pop and explode with flavour!
