Interior Design

Seeing these gorgeous pictures of interiors makes me want to redesign my whole room!


Stacking coffee table books looks great especially around other ornaments. 

Simple yet effective, small splashes of colour in an all white room look elegant and draw attention to the view. 


A little bit of greenery really freshens and brightens up a room.


Fairy lights, lanterns and mosquito nets look pretty and add a nice touch centered above a bed. 


Pictures and photos in different frames arranged nicely together looks cute and quirky.


This looks like a great diy project! Who knew that a bit of chicken wire, a hook, some jars and flowers could look so pretty?


This has to be my dream room, the all white bed is just perfect against that stunning wallpaper and those amazing windows. Simple yet effective. 

Recreate the 'love' print shown in the white frame by simply choosing a print or image off of the internet or one of your own, printing onto photo paper or some other nice paper and sticking in a nice white frame. 

My Face Mask



Even though it is supposed to be summer here in New Zealand, the weather is yet again, dull, rainy and windy. So even though I am on holiday at the lake I had to find something to do this afternoon that didn't involve going outside. I decided to try a homemade facemask. After googling some recipes I found one for oily, acne prone skin which (unfortunately) is the one for me.

The recipe:


1/4 cup of mashed (fresh) strawberries
1/4 cup of sour cream or natural unflavoured yoghurt


Leave on for 10-15 minutes

The face mask was really quick and easy to make. I used sour cream and I found it worked really well! As both ingredients came out of the fridge, the mask felt cool and fresh on your skin. It really tightens and tones the skin for a clearer and brighter appearance. The mask smelt and looked really appealing and I would recommend trying it!
