My favourite DIY easter egg tutorials

I have noticed a ton of people doing easter egg DIYs this year. Sadly, Easter is a busy holiday in the Floral business so I'm working working working! Instead of me making my own DIY I thought I'd share my favourite tutorials from fellow bloggers!

These wallpaper patterned rollers by The Painted House are wonderful. I can't even describe how excited they make me feel about painting my place!

They are only $25 each, plus the cost of paint! I very eco friendly alternative to wallpaper - and very cheap alternative too. I think painting one wall of a room with the rollers is a great idea - I'm definatly picking up one, or three, or them. The Painted House's website shows all sorts of ideas to use them with. Covering coffee tables, bunting, even cards and framed prints.

Easy homemade Alfredo Sauce


This makes about enough for one person, maybe two depending on how saucy you like your paste!
I made this with chicken and penne noodles! It's one of my favourite dishes.

Get all the sauce ingredients, and mix! Set aside for when the chickens cooked.

First, boil the noodles! - don't forget about them once you start cooking the chicken or tofu. I boil the water, add the noodles and put on medium low covered. Then I just continually try the noodles until their done.

Cook the chicken! I precut mine into two bit pieces and cook them on the stove to on medium until their no longer pink in the middle.





And then I turn up the heat and cover for five to ten minutes!



Add the sauce to the chicken until it's heated up, and add to the noodles! 



Okay, so I put them straight into tupperware because this is my dinner for work. Who says tupperware isn't photograph friendly?

The perfect Alkaline food chart

Let's all just take a moment and thing about how absolutely perfect this chart is! If you're every wondering what's healthier and what to not eat every day, this is for you! I think everyone should print this off and hang it on their fridge with confetti around it.


So wonderful! I fell off the healthy bandwagon but I'm trying to get back on! And by the end of this year I will be a FULL VEGAN LIFESTYLE!  *throws confetti*

 At first, today's weather wasn't too bad. A little rainier then I'd like, but overall it wasn't too crappy.

And then, it got crappy.

Really crappy, like Canadian crappy, but I guess this is Canada in March so I can't really complain.

"Welcome to Canada! Unless you enjoy snow sports, you probably shouldn't come here from October to May."  Don't worry, I am fully aware I am a bad Canadian.

A very berry (and very simple) vegan smoothie!


This isn't a fancy recipe, most people can probably come up with this on their own! But it's also my favourite morning snack (especially with a handful of spinach! You can't even taste it, I swear!)

I recently bought a new blender so I've been trying to make meals that I can use it! Potato soup anyone?


So good! I gobbled it up before I could take better pictures! I couldn't help myself.

I've been feeling a bit off lately

I've been feeling out of control lately,  because I find myself wondering where the time has gone. I regularly find myself at the end of each day wondering if i was actually productive; could i have done more school work today? Could i have cleaned more? Could i have spent more time working on my business? Everyday.

I have so much going on at once; I'm a full time student, I work 15-30 hours a week and then on top of that I run a business. Finding time to sit down and relax, read a book, maybe watch a documentary, without feeling guilty about not doing something 'productive' just doesn't happen.

Not much I can do about that, besides maybe drop everything and move to a vegan commune, and that this point that doesn't sound too bad!

I'm still trying to figure everything out, I think I just need to find time for myself, even if it's just to take a bath and read a book. A bubble bath of course.

    Please enjoy this photo of me laughing off into the distance, it looks as if i belong in one of those ads where everyone is laughing while they eat salad. Such as in this tumblr blog, which is filled entirely of people laughing and eating salad. Well, that is all for now! Hopefully I'll see you again.
