Love Eat Make

LOVE | Last week I purchased myself some new Saltwater Sandals (something that has been on my wish list for ages!) I love them so much and already know I will be wearing them all summer long. I think they will make the perfect pair with some of the pretty summer dresses I plan on wearing this season!

EAT | Over the last couple of weeks I have been complaining about being hungry all of the time (I think it might be a side effect of some new medication I've started to take) and I found myself snacking multiple times during the day. I therefore decided to make some healthy coconut and date protein balls as they are full of lots of good things that really help to fill me up! They are actually delicious and taste like they are a bit of a treat even though they are really healthy. I used this thermomix recipe, but I'm sure they would still be easy enough to make without one.

MAKE | Now that uni is finished for the year I'm able to start planing our wedding. At the moment I'm working on an exciting wedding project that involves mint green paint. It has been a dream of mine for a while now to go to a paint shop and buy a pot of mint green paint and this coming Saturday that dream will come true! I don't know yet if I will share many of the wedding projects yet, as I want them to be a bit of a surprise for our wedding guests on the day. But I still like to keep you updated on some of the things that we will be working on and I will be sure to share most things after the wedding next year!

LOVE | Now that spring is here, I realised that I needed some new clothes for the warmer months. So last week, Matt and I did a bit of shopping and I picked up a few spring pieces including these new jeans. Usually, I really don't like wearing jeans because I have quite short legs and I find they don't really suit me but at last I've found a pair that I don't mind! They are high waisted, therefore making my legs seam a little bit longer then they actually are, and they are surprisingly really comfy, which is unlike any other pair of jeans I've ever owned!

EAT | My lovely friend Kristy makes the most delicious cupcakes, and for my birthday she gave me a huge box full of turkish delight cupcakes. They were delicious, and didn't last very long at all, as my family also loved them! It was so nice of her to go through the effort of making them for me.

MAKE | Lately I have been working hard on perfecting my new dress design and this week I made one in my size, and I'm happy to say that it looks exactly how I wanted it to! I used some amazing, retro floral fabric that I found at the op shop months ago and I love it. Now I'll just have to check if all of the other sizes work as well as this one and then I'll be able to make some for my Etsy shop.

LOVE | As you might have gathered from this post, I have really been loving Essie nail polishes lately. Above are the shades Forever Yummy and Mint Candy Apple. I love both! Hoping to add a few more lovely shades to my collection soon. 

EAT | Something I have been eating (well technically drinking) a lot lately is T2 Tea, in particular French earl grey. I love a good earl grey and this one is extra special, as it has a delicious floral flavour with petals even mixed through the tea leaves. Definitely one of my favourites! 

MAKE | Yesterday afternoon I went to the park with the kids I nanny and we sat in the afternoon sun making daisy chains. It was so relaxing, and made me very excited for spring!

Today I thought I would share with you a new type of post that I'm thinking of making into a feature for my blog that I like to call 'Love Eat Make'. It's just a small post to share something I'm loving, something I'm eating and something I'm making during my week. I hope you like it! 

LOVE | Since becoming engaged I've been loving the magazine Hello May. It's a bridal magazine that features creative and non-traditional weddings (that I much prefer!). I have bought two copies of this magazine so far, and I love it so much that I'm thinking of ordering all of the past issues so I can add them to my collection. Their blog is also really inspiring! 

EAT | A couple of weeks ago, a group of friends and I went to Melbourne for a weekend and while we were there we visited Adriano Zumbo's patisserie and I bought a box of his delicious macarons. They were amazing, and I will talk about them in more detail in a separate post soon. 

MAKE | At the beginning of winter I started a new granny square blanket using different scrap pieces of wool. I love how it is turning out and really like the fact that I'm using wool that would have otherwise been thrown out. I will also share this project in more detail soon!
