D.I.Y World map pin board

D.I.Y World Map Pin Board

It was quite a simple idea, I had a boring old pin board and I wanted to bring a bit more geography into my bedroom.  

I started by just googling a simple world map silhouette and I printed it over 4 pages so it was larger than A4, cut it out by

hand which took ages! 

I missed out small islands and such because it would get too cumbersome other wise.  

I pinned them down using sowing pins and starting shading down from the edges with a sharpie

Organising my room

I love being organised makes me much more relaxed and the actual tidying makes me calm.


I'm usually pretty lazy, but I've wanted to get everything tidied away perfectly!

so I always start tidying my things by making more of a mess i empty the cupboards and then I can plan what I'm going to put on each shelf.
And the most used things are in the waist height region, and least used at the top and things needed time to time at the bottom, I actually ended up condensing my stuff down and had a few spare shelves which i ended up using for t-shirts and hoodies, because you know... us women have far to many clothes!

This is the cupboard that needed organisation

I started by taking everything out, i found a plastic holder from a Lego advent calendar I had from last year and it had 25 small compartments perfect for storing cans brushes etc. 

(I added a little washi tape to the sides and top, makes it a little decorative.)

buy condensing some of my things either into the loft or the bin it meant that there was more space.  And I was left with a shelf that had enough space for little trinkets and, bits and bobs. 

All my nail varnishes are in a multi compartment box from the craft shop. this meant there was space for nail files. cotton buds and nail varnish remover. 

Hopefully it will stay this tidy for a long time!

Healthy lunch that everyone will like (or they'll starve)

Today I had a lovely looking lunch, I'm staring to go on a bit of health kick. 

Well generally I just want to change my diet, I always crave bad foods and I just want to start liking healthier foods, so I'm just forcing my self to eat more good stuff and less bad stuff, simples. 

I've started to love hummus, I found a jalapeño hummus in the shop and it is amazing, so tasty, much more spicy and delectable than plain hummus. Today I combined it with carrot sticks but i much prefer warmed soft tortillas. 

 

And finally, cashew butter its a little more healthy than regular peanut butter, and well as you could have guessed tastes like cashews! This is the first time I've tried it and its got such an interesting taste and its a lot more runny than normal peanut butter, but ever so scrumptious!

Oh and my Dad made me a salad too, just usual salad things tomato lettuce etc. He does sometimes add left overs like potato or meats but its gives a boring salad more flavour.
