We’re all still going strong with the indoor plant trend – well I am anyway! I have a jungle at home…ha! I am addicted that’s for sure. In 2019, the theme for indoor plants is ‘bigger the better’. If you can choose mature plants that already stand a metre or more tall for maximum impact […]
Mirrors move energy around your home in lots of different ways. And if you’re a fan of Feng Shui (or even just energy!), then you’ll want to know where you shouldn’t be placing a mirror. 1. In the bedroom A mirror across from the bed can bring a third party into the relationship. Hmmmm we […]
It’s not just me, I know it! Lots of you are decluttering like crazy too. It’s January so I usually have this mad cleaning frenzy, BUT the new ‘Tidying up with Marie Kondo‘ on Netflix really set me off. Have you watched it yet? I blame her! 😉 She is the ‘tidying’ guru. I actually […]
Last week I was a bit lucky and my husband brought home this huge elkhorn. It was his Grandmother’s and it had fallen down (his Father had it) and it was getting a bit burnt in the sun. We think it’s at least 60 years old. You can be excused for calling it a staghorn, […]
Today I’ve got 5 indoor plants which can survive almost in the dark with little fuss. I wrote a post a few months ago on the best Indoor Plants, but I’ve narrowed it down to just a few that are hard to kill! Last week I needed a bit of retail therapy and I text my girlfriend […]

The colour green is always a favourite in homes, and styling is easy when you add a simple plant to a room. “Bringing the outdoors in” is still popular and I am a huge fan of the botanical trend. Today I have some pretty images of homes which use plants/prints/greenery to liven up their spaces. Plus […]
I don’t mind a house with a gallery walk-through area. It separates the house. Master and living on the back, kids on the front. I have older kids, so this would suit perfectly! I wouldn’t have to hear them up late watching their things. The layout is extremely neat, as in there is no wasted […]
Eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis and cystic and non cystic acne is on the rise. A lot of people suffer from these conditions. I do also get rosacea on one side of my face. It flares up from time to time, especially when this 40 year old get hot flushes! Typically we head to the doctor and […]
How to make your own wipes >> I’ve been wanting to do this for a while. There are lots of tutorials on Pinterest so I thought I’d give it a go. I use wipes a lot in my house. Do you? I’ve ditched the fragrance (because of this) and I am going all low-tox cleaning […]

Use in the bottom of the shower to open your airways, use before […]
Thanks for popping in today! I found this 3 bedroom floor plan which I thought was perfect if you’re a downsizer or small family. I like the layout. The rooms are big and everything has been thought of. There’s some excellent storage and the flow is good. I like the kitchen on the external wall […]
The word “eZone” has been popping up in new floor plans I’ve been looking at. If you don’t need a full home office or study, but still want somewhere to sit and pay the bills, scroll Facebook or write an email, then an eZone might be the solution! Basically it’s a nook with a small bench, […]
I have some minor scratches on my floorboards from a kitchen stool (I have since tossed it!). It’s very hard to get photos of a floorboard close up! But you can see below some little scratches. I wanted to buff this area up. Now, let’s be realistic, you can’t actually completely fix these scratches, unless […]
