Today I have to introduce you a new friend. I found it just 2 weeks ago, and we are crazy about it. Actually it is all over the internet lately because is is:

Healthy

Low carb

All natural 

Easy

Quick

Vegan

DELICIOUS !!!

The 2 ingredients cookie:

Take 2 bananas

Banana


A 3-4 spoons of oat

Oat

Spice it up! :) I added cinnamon and maple syrup. Anyway it is still delicious without those. You can add other things like chocolate chips, raisins, nuts, cocoa powder...etc.

Spice it up

Mash it with a fork

Place them the onto a greased cookie sheet with a spoon. Put it in the oven for 15 minutes on 350 Fahrenheit / 180 Celsius. 

Ready to the oven

Sevre it. :) I like it better if it is cooled down. 

Eat

As far as I know, instead of bananas you can use pumpkin, apple, peaches or even avocado! :) 

I am telling you it is just great! :) So have fun with cooking and enjoy!

Hello there Beauties! 

First of all Happy Valentines to you!

And if you do not like it, well then happy Friday! :)

And if you hate this day, well happy vodka/beer/ whatever day. And don't cry if you are lonely today, you will be tomorrow as well. So no pressure. :) Maybe next year will be different you can never know. :)

I made a little experiment yesterday, and this is my gift for you. :)

The issue was this: 

I has not really hungry, but still a little, I felt like eating some vegetables, but there were other things in the fridge that we should've finished off. This is the situation when we have to get creative. And I almost forgot to mention that I am kind of lazy....this is my motivation to be creative. I like to spend hours in the kitchen to create some really amazing things....once a month...or if I really don't have anything else to do. But not every day. Those times are over when a woman can afford to spend all day in the kitchen.

I have some rules in my kitchen:

No sugar, flour, bread, pasta, potatoes, white rice, corn 

Lots of vegetables and fruits, lots of meat but non-processed if possible, some milk products. 

Not too much brown rice, some millet, some oat. The rest varies. :) It would be too long to explain all those things at once, but more or less that is it. I am never starving, and I feel great in my skin so no problem on this side. 

Once I have all the correct ingredients the rule is: 

There is no rule !  Please play with the food! :)

So..here is the result.
You will need ..

Some left over brown rice

Spring onions (yes they had to go as well) 

Frozen broccoli and cauliflower ( this I just LOVE, add some salt and pepper to it or anything else you desire and cook it until it is defrosted)

Step 1 2 and 3

Take a roasting tin and put everything inside :) Vegetables, rice on the top, the spring onions, you can also mix them if you like. 

It is a good idea to roast them a little bit before you put the cheese on the top, this way the cheese won't burn. Anyway all of the ingredients are ready to eat so it depends on your taste how long you want to roast it. 

Put the cheese on the top of it, and it is ready to go. Roast it until the cheese gets nice golden brown or whichever way you like it. :)

Happy Valentines! 

"Always have a Beach scarf with you" part 1.

Someone mentioned to me that I seem to be a little obsessed with beach scarfs. Well I have to tell you, it is true. I've got quite a few of them, because they are so useful! I love them. They have nice colours, they are light, easy to store, to travel with and in the end I always need them for something.

Moving to a new apartment? Traveling around the world?  Vacation? Always have some beach scarf with you. Here's why:

1. First of all, you can use them on the beach as a beach towel. Wow...amazing. :)

Beach towel

2.  When you are done with the splish splash and look like a crab you can just wrap yourself into it, and there you have your new beach dress. (Actually you can also use it as a towel, but if the sun is shining you don't even need to do that)

/oh and sorry for the model, she didn't know she would be a model one day :)/

Dress

Talking about the dress. There are like a thousand ways to wear a beach scarf as a dress. I will not show them here, but believe me the possibilities are almost endless. Maybe in another post. ;)

3. You can decorate your home with them. Use them as table cloth....

4. ...or protect your couch with them...

5. ...no time for shopping? The curtains are too expensive lately? Or just none of them fits your ideas? No problem. Use your beach scarf!

6. Oh this looks so nice! I like the colour and the prints.....alright...so put them to your wall!

Wall deco

6. Too many pillows but not enough pillow covers? (am I alone with this issue??? o_O)

Pillow cover

7. Use them for anything!! You can wrap into beach scarf your whole house if you want. :) Cover your sofa, bed, chairs, walls...anything you want. 

Anything cover

8. Seriously the list is endless. The good thing about it, you don't need to sew anything. All you need is a few pins, and sometimes not even that. You can just put knots onto them. And if you are bored of the colour, you can just change them, ore use them for something else. They are convertible. :D

Jewelry holder

As I mentioned, we just moved here. So what we don't have is: decoration or holders.  ANY holder. No toothbrush holder, fruit basket, shoe holder...etc. 

But, what bothers me most? My earrings. They are just in a box all tangled together. I can't see them trough, I can not decide wich one to wear day by day because I cannot see them. It is annoying! And I have a small collection already which came with me. :) Yes...women..I know. Never mind. The point is....to buy an eaaring holder is not a priority....I get it. So I make some for myself. The other part of the story is that we have heaps of boxes. New furniture and stuff....:) 

Here is the deal. All you need is:

A flat box

 Any textile, i like to use beachtowels for everything. :)

 Some pins.

Step 1: You cover the box with the textile. Nice and colourful. You can even fix it with some pins on the top. 

Step 2: You pin all your stuff to it. You can hang your earrings to the pin. And necklaces and so on.

And "Voilá!"

Actually this box conception has various use in our home right now. We use it as 

...nightstand...

...info board...

PS.: If you do not have any box, but you have some nails, net-type textile and you are willing to abuse your walls, you might choose this option as well. :)

Introduction

Hello everybody!

This is our (your and my) first time here together, so let me introduce myself as a start. My name is Thya, at least some of my friends call me that. My story is long and maybe not even that interesting, but here you have some info about myself, just that you can put together the puzzle a little bit. 

1. I recently moved to a new continent with my partner. 

Ok I translate it. We arrived here literally with 3 luggage. 2 for me 'cause I am a girl and 1 for him. No furniture, not too many clothes or shoes, no house decorations, kitchen stuff or any stuff. 3 luggage and our survival skills. I believe this is already a really good reason to start a creative blog. :D We have to start everything from zero to build up our new life here. And I believe there is not enough money in the world to just buy everything at the same time that a household needs. So "be patient and be creative!" 

2. Before this big change of life we already traveled a lot. We lived in 4 different countries in the last 6 years. This way we learned to appreciate basic things in life and we learned to let go. Everything. Several times. I like better practical things, cheaper things, things that I can make my own, but the same time I also do not like to waste my time on too long projects. You know I have priorities. :)

3. I am on a diet....how can I put it..... on a life long one. People call it paleo I found out lately. Well I do not know and I do not care. The thing is I do not eat some of the food that normal people eat. The reasons are not that important, and I do not want to preach to anybody. It is enough if you know that I like meat and vegetables, and I try to avoid sugar, bread....and some other stuff. So you might find some recipes also here in the future. :)

4. I like nature, plants, trees, seaside. I kind of like these eco, bio, green waves that I see around myself. I also try to change my personal lifestyle that I can help a bit to Mother Nature. So this is the other thing that you might find interesting on this blog. 

I read many many many really nice blogs lately. I found blogs about sport, nutrition, creative planting, sewing, cooking, furniture, decorations. I just do not know how I can fit ALL of them into my life. So if you want, you can think of this blog as a personal experiment. :)

Hope you will like it. Please let me know your opinion in the comments below.
