My love affair with candles started when I was 14. We had to make crafty thing to sell at the school Christmas bazaar, and a candle-making workshop was where it all kicked off. Since then, I try to make my own if I can, like this one here and here . But making candles from scratch is not always possible..so I cheat a little by embellishing the candle holder itself. With a little imagination, anyone can create really amazing bespoke candles. And no, you do not need to be a seasoned crafter either! ;) These candles would be perfect for cozy dinner party tables or winter weddings!
Though in winter I crave mostly carbs and comforting foods, I am determined to make my resolutions stick this year, and try to eat more healthily. But I always struggle when it comes to snacks and appetizers. You know, the stuff that needs to fill a gap when craving strikes? So I have been scouring the web for amazing, healthy and totally scrumptious recipes to make and share - From smoothies to dinners and all in between. Here's my top faves!
