If you have been following my Instagram you would have seen my post on this tea i made while i had very bad period pain. Recently I’ve been experiencing headaches and quite severe period pains during my period week and it has been very depressing. I found that drinking lots of hot teas helps a lot and of having lots of rest is essential.
Anyone has any secret tips to help soothe period pains?
Here’s the recipe …
We had the absolute pleasure of partnering at the 2014 Kinfolk dinner in Sydney hosted by the amazing EatReadLove at the breathtaking Avalon Sailing Club last Saturday.
It was a perfect night – perfect weather, perferct venue, perfect food & champagne, perfect music, perfect mix of lovely & talented people, perfect mood, and most of all – the perfect Kinfolk spirit.
its been a long time since i’ve last updated – 2013 has been a very crazy year and in the blink of an eye its already september -o- there’s been a lot of ups and downs (that’s what life’s all about isn’t it?) – sadly i’ve lost 2 family members within a short period of 4 months which was a big hit for me … but because of that I think our family has grown much closer than before. grieving is such a complicated process – shock, regret, sadness, anger, reason, accept, treasure, grateful … i think the most important thing is to have friends and family around you to talk to and to support each other through this hard time in life. life is very unpredictable isn’t it, it always struck you when you least expect it … so treasure all that you have, don’t ever take it for granted, and live a healthy and happy life.
i haven’t totally forgotten/ put away my handmade zakka projects, still managed to made some from time to time. lately i’ve been picking it back up more and i’m working on a diy project for mason jars. when i first found out about mason jars it was love at first sight. i loooooove preserving fruits and veg (altho i’ve only just started trying) and i looooooooooooove glassware. mason jars are so versatile – you can use it for preserving, canning, drinking, candlelight, pen holder, flower vase, anything holder, shaker, food storage, lunch “box”, decoration, etc. etc., basically anything you can think of! the jar itself is dishwasher safe although it is recommend to clean the lids by hand with soapy water. here’s a few ideas on what you can do with mason jars –
vases.
lights.
yoghurt and gran
lots of mason jars.
stay tuned for my diy mason jar project :) would love to hear from you what colors and sizes you are after. happy to ship to anywhere in australia and overseas.
