~ Sophie ~ 2 Comments

It is  five days to Mother’s Day. Mothers truly are magical beings considering all they have to go through and the sacrifices they make to make our lives better and comfortable. Mother’s day is the perfect way to spoil your mother in various ways. If you are thinking of going the food way, then you are at the right place.

You can treat her to breakfast in bed with:

These carrot fried eggs

 

These banana pancakes

Let her relax and make lunch for her…

With this  carrot cucumber ribbon salad with roasted simsim(sesame)

This stir-fried pasta(macaroni)

This stir-fried posho

Or  treat her to delicious wholesome burgers with these bean burger patties

Satisfy her sweet tooth with…

These rich and nutty honeyed sweet potato balls with simism(sesame)

These flaky red plum jam mini pies

Or these multiflavored chocolate glazed cassava balls

And finally let her wash down all that food with this lemon iced tea.

 

Now go make something for the mother and let her know how much you appreciate her and how truly special she is.

Happy Mother’s Day!

~ Sophie ~ Leave a comment

So maybe I am stuck in last year(still) or maybe not, but I just wanted to highlight Rare Beauty and how it has grown.

I have plans for the blog and from now on don’t be surprised to see a few changes here and there.
Oh and By the way, RB has its first ever ad swap from Louise!

Dont forget to check out Louise’s Trevolta Campaign and give some support.

Have a great weekend!

2013 Fun and Meaningful Musings (List of)

~ Sophie ~ 2 Comments

AS the year winds down, I realise I have been blessed beyond measure. I remember when the year started out, I wrote on my facebook wall “to a year of great possibilities” and it indeed has been one. I have made a list of things that I have been constantly doing that are fun and meaningful to me.
1. Observing nature and the beauty around me and photographing it whenever I had a chance!
2. Making breadsticks a lot!
3. Playing covers of Hillsong music (though I didn’t record any!) and wishing I was right there in the action.
4. Texting, emailing and chatting with my international friends!
5. Checking off my list of to-do things for this blog. They have pushed my boundaries (some things I never thought I would do) and comfort zone and it felt good
6. Discussing real life issues with a church group and enjoying the fellowships and activities
7. Making new friends both on the internet and life!
8. Experimenting with juices. Having to mix different flavours and colours of natural fruit, fizzy sodas and processed juices has been fun. I kind of think I am a pro now (ha!)
9. Creating and designing content for this blog. Absolutely exciting!
10. Thinking and contemplating what the future has for me and discovering who I am
11. Hosting the LOL Series. I have met amazing and talented people who are passionate about what they do and have been inspired and I am sure you have too!
What have you enjoyed doing this year of 2013?
