DIY Bookmarks a Fun Actuvity for Kids and Adults

Image
Today I have a fun craft for everyone that you can do with things from around the house. This is a very very simple DIY/craft you can do when you feel creative We are making our own bookmarks. In order to make the bookmarks you can either repurpose old things from around the house or use any craft supplies you have. For this craft you’ll need: 1. A piece of cardboard or an old notebook with hard covers. 2. Glue  3. Scissors  4. Ruler or something to draw straight lines with. 5. Pencil  6. Stickers or newspaper scraps to decorate with. 7. A big book  Now let’s get into the steps: 1. Gather the things you will need. 2. Measure how long you want your bookmarks, I made two  sizes one 15x5 cm and one 14x4 cm, those are great sizes but honestly you can kind of eyeball it and make it however long you want it. 3. If you are making a cardboard one you probably only need one piece depending on the thickness, if you are using notebook covers I suggest using two both so you can

January Bullet Journal Set Up

Image
Hey guys how are you doing? Today I will be sharing with you my January bullet journal set up and all my spreads. This month’s theme in black and white and quite simple, perfect for a minimalis t look.  On the left I did a collage type spread, from this you would think it’s Beatles themed but the reason this spread exists is because I had a magazine that was dedicated to Beatles that had a lot of black and white photography in it so it fit. Now the problem here is that I didn’t have glue and glued these with tape which didn’t really come out very nice but it’s okay.  On the right side we have a simple cover page with a little calendar. On the left a simple calendar a little different from what I am used to but it worked out fine. On the right we have a new spread for me, I split the page in half and created a goals portion and a master to do list portion that I can use throughout the month. These are my classic where I’m at and notes spreads. Continuing with classics here we have my gr

So here are some prompts to inspire you that you can include in your own bullet journal, in your diary or just to write down on a paper. One thing to rejoice from each month and one thing to learn from. One word for each month.   Favorite book of 2020. Favorite movie of 2020. Biggest accomplishments of 2020. My favorite experience of 2020. What did I learn about myself this year? How am I different from a year ago?  Guys this year has been very hard don’t forget to take care of yourself and find a healthy way to process everything that is going on.

2021 Bullet Journal Set Up

Image
In this post I will be sharing my 2021 bullet journal set up and the spreads I used. I have quite many spreads so if you are going for a more minimalist look feel free to use the spreads you think will be useful for you.  I am using a Flying Tiger Copenhagen bullet planner in pink, as you can see I have already stained it which is a shame. I got this notebook a while back because I was very excited so I don’t remember how many pages it is, but she’s a girthy girl. On the left side there is a key to explain the meaning of the symbols I use, the page turned out pretty empty so I will probably add something else later. On the right side there is an index for me to know where everything is, as you see I number all my pages. In this spread I will continue to write the page numbers as I go with the bullet journal. This is a standard grid spacing page for me to reference in the future when I need to divide my pages.  On the left I have an empty page in case I need to add anything in the futur

This is my playlist for November and December of this year filled with Christmas classics to get you in the festive mood but also some absolute bangers. Warning the playlist has some Greek songs too so just skip them if you are not interested. The vibes for this playlist are rather complicated like November and December have been, there are a lot of sad songs but here and there happier songs pop up. So if you need a complicated playlist for a complicated situation this is for you.  A nice mix of new and older songs with great vibes for chilling. You can find the playlist by searching nov.-dec. on Spotify or by clicking the link but also on the bottom of the post: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6TFjV6nupurHCjpF7Gy08t?si=I1O5t0p2QMq7mht2HjpfpQ In terms of Christmas music you will find classics like: • All I want for Christmas is you – Mariah Carey  • Santa baby – Eartha Kitt • Driving home for Christmas - Chris Rea  In terms of popular music at the moment you will find songs lik

Indoor And Outdoor Plants For Beginners

Image
  This is a tour of my plants, where I live the climate is dry with cool summers and mild winters, my room and balcony are facing south. Most of these are easy to take care of plants and great for beginners. First I will show you the plants that I have in my room facing a south window.  Aloe   These are my Aloe plants or aloe sisters as I call them I bought them a few months ago. I water them every 21 days with a little bit of water, as they like to be dryer. I have tied a string around them because I didn’t plant them deep enough and as a consequence the leaves are hanging really low and I am afraid they will break off. That’s why I have a string around them to hold the leaves together until I repot them in bigger pots. I cut the leafs quite frequently to use the aloe gel but they are still growing pretty well I would say. Orchid  This is my Orchid , Mona, I’ve had her for 2,5 years now I water her every 7 days by filling her pot with water leaving her like that for 30-45 minutes a
