Product Round Up of 2015

With 2015 coming to an end tonight, I thought it'd be most fitting to do a product round up of some of mine & Pam's top products we have been obsessing over! After reading so many other blogs, watching endless hours of Youtube videos and chatting with friends who are in love with certain products, we couldn't help but go out and try these products for ourselves! 

Nothing beats the smell of christmas

There is something about the smell of Christmas that's like no other. Every year I always comment about how excited I am for the smell of the Christmas tree or the freshly baked cookies I've got going in the oven. By far though, one of my favourites is mulled wine!
Mulled wine is something I have never actually made myself, but have always enjoyed drinking! When I was searching for a recipe, there were so many variations that I couldn't choose between them, so I decided to mash a few together for the perfect recipe! 

Simple Christmas decorations

Here we are at day three of our DIY gift series!

Today we're taking simple clear ornaments and filling them with  loose glitter. I got the idea from the H&M window display and couldn't help but think we could make these ourselves!

Wooden Mod Podge Frames

Welcome to day two of our DIY gift series!
One of the best crafting materials ever made is Mod Podge glue. If you have no clue what I'm talking about a) you're missing out, and b) I'm questioning your life choices pretty heavily. Today we're talking DIY Mod Podge wooden frames, it doesn't get much better than that! These frames have got to be one of the easiest and most personal DIY gifts out there, and one that I resort to year round. All you're going to need is a wooden frame, Mod Podge, a paint brush and old magazines. So simple!

Cake In a Jar

Welcome to the Do It Yourself Gift Series!

I'm just going to throw this out there and say Pam & I are obsessed with crafting. Give us some glue (preferably glitter), scissors and paper and we are so content. For me, I love nothing more than finishing a project I've been working on and immediately sending a picture of it to Pam to show her how pleased I am with myself and how fabulous...or unfortunate (yes, this happens on a regular basis) it's turned out. For the next four days, we are going to be posting our favourite DIY gifts for you, along with super easy how-to steps so you can become just as craft obsessed as we are!

Cake in a Jar

Shakshuka

This is one of those recipes that you're gonna make ten times over because it's way too easy and so satisfying. Shakshuka and I have been friends for awhile now but I haven't made a batch in what feels like ages.

So what is it? It's a Tunisian dish that involves cooking eggs in a spicy tomato sauce and the flavours pack a punch. It also smells so intoxicating, and warms you up from the inside out thanks to the chilis.

With the temperature dropping, I find myself coming back to this again and again these past few weeks and I think I've had it for breakfast almost every single day. It's super easy to divide up into ramekins and individually bake the eggs in the oven instead of finishing the eggs on the stove. Pre-portioning is my jam since it lets me grab breakfast on the go when I'm running late for work. This recipe comes from David Lebovitz who I've been following for a very long time now and I find it works perfect every time. Another fantastic shakshuka recipe to check out is Yotam Ottolenghi's who's recipe you can find in his book Jerusalem. Happy cooking!


Stop.Relax.Repeat

Coloring is something I've always enjoyed. I don't know if it's having the freedom to create whatever comes to mind, or being controlled by the solid black lines that makes it so satisfying in the end when you've finally finished colouring the entire page.
