How to find Red, Orange and Yellow Tomatoes

And green, and brown or coca cola coloured to be exact.

Well, this is the dilemma I faced after I watched Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten, putting together some burgers and those wonderfully coloured tomatoes. I could not get them off my mind, and as I have got a BIG FOOD weekend coming on soon, I thought it would be great for my family and friends to not only eat with their mouths, but with their eyes.


I went on the hunt.

Celebrate good times… Come on!

When it comes to enjoying life, and just living and loving it, you don’t have to over complicate things or come up with something elaborate to make your free moment memorable. Life is far too precious for you to get stressed out actually trying to think of something fun and relaxing to so.
Let these simple ideas inspire you.


High, low or medium maintenance?

Have you ever walked over to your closet and realised how much stuff you have actually got? Have you ever wondered, “Where is this from?”, “How was it made?”, “Who made it?” and “How much did they get for their blood, sweat and tears?”
Well, we have just done that, and pulled out a few of our favourite things. Voila!


Creating Atmosphere

Would you really like to add something special to the atmosphere of your home? Start with your imagination.


It is Friday night, it is raining and you are having a night in. You may be by yourself or you may have invited friends over for dinner. What could you possibly do to liven up the atmosphere in your home? A fire would be nice, but that is one luxury we cannot all have.
