5 Things

{Sign, Sealed, Delivered.}

This week has been utterly hectic. I can't even think where to begin as the I contiue to catch up with days. With the holidays etching closer with promises of relaxation and some well deserved pampering I find myself day dreaming of the spoils to come.


 1. Call it an old little wife's tale, but baths can not only help you unwind from the common stresses of our busy world, but can also assist in weight loss. By adding Epsom salts and playful bubbles, bath time can become an indulgent time for reflection and offers an abundance of health benefits. What could be better?

 2. I can often be a complete scatter brain when faced with an overwhelming line up of tasks. So, in order to contain some level of clarity, I transform into an uber nerd with brand new stationary. Always a fan of the Kikki-k ranges, I collect stacks of adorable stationary to write to my hearts content. This retro approach may be now a foreign memory to most, but I find it is a simple solution to keep track of what needs to be done as well as carefully storing the little strokes of inspiration that hit throughout the day.

 3. While down in Wellington earlier this month for the annual World of Wearable Arts with my lovely Grandma, we came across the new collection of vintage nail polishes which had just hit the shelves. After testing the various colours on my nails to leave a noticeable trail of destruction, I fell in love with a salmon shade. The smoky hue is a prime pick for spring with its subtle tone connecting to the darker months while edging all that bit closer to the bolds and brights of summer to come. A refreshing take on the signature bubble-gum pinks, salmon is my new favorite when paired with a navy nautical blouse or crisp white button-downs.

4. Carrying connotations of envy and jealousy, emerald can often be a colour to steer clear of. Yet as the leaves return and the flowers continue to blossom in the return of spring, it seems only natural to follow suit with pops of olive and jade incorporated in your spring wardrobe. After picking up an emerald blouse the other day I am bubbling with excitement to experiment with this daring bright as it proves to be a blooming bold of this seasons colour line up.

5. To all those who know me, baking is an irresistible passion of mine. My main motto is to "bake with the love" to fully reap the benefits of sugar, spice and all those little things that are nice. Although the tried and true recipes are always an instant go-to when pushed for time, I adore testing out new ideas in my petite kitchen. Check out this recipe for a sweet treat perfect for those intimate spring brunches or a mini temptation for dessert.
