Wow! I am in the middle of renovating my kitchen & living area on the bottom floor & I have to say on a very fixed budget (being paid by insurance for a water leak) and I can't believe how cheap your cabinets and bench top are. Maybe it's just a lot more expensive in Australia but my cabinets were about $13,000 + labor (and they weren't custom)....I am seriously gobsmacked.

I have used it to make black sesame ganache to fill matcha macarons with a coconut agar agar cube in the middle

You forgot keeping them away from direct sunlight. Tulips and lots of other bulbs love being put outside in the cold air overnight, it really peps them up.

Also making sure your vases are thoroughly cleaned with bleach & water before putting your new flowers in to stop the spread of disease from old arrangements.

Not sure I could do it. I think I will stick to my short showers with a bucket (to help collect some of the water & put it back in the garden) Locally made natural toiletries & turning the water off to brush teeth & lather.

My partner showers twice a day though & I think that is really wasteful. skipping the shower up to 4 days a week is just icky.

Add it to your oil & maple/honey mix when making homemade granola. Viola! Chocolate granola!

Chia seeds, soaked oatmeal (I always have a bowl of oats in the fridge soaking in milk), silken tofu, soaked nuts. I don't think I have mentioned.

I read once that adding a teaspoon of olive oil to a morning smoothie can help you feel fuller for longer.

Jamie at home was the best. The whole lifestyle portrayed in that series was so utterly romantic. I want to live in it.

I generally use coconut palm sugar if I am trying to be healthy. But sometimes nothing but white processed sugar will do.

They don't work. They cause stem rot & plants dont grow straight down.

I think these kind of missed the mark, I really liked the first room but in no way did it say hippy chic to me
