5 things for the weekend 25.11

more energy, craft a cosy home, visual journaling, coconut macaroons, make a zine

My first weekend after going back out to work is going to be a mostly relaxing one. I’ll spend most of Saturday at a special practice session for the batucada (but I enjoy it so much it’s relaxing!), and on Sunday I am looking forward to a cosy day. I plan to sleep in, eat a yummy breakfast, and then get crafty. With pauses for reading.

What are your weekend plans?

5 Things

1. The first sentence of this article pulled me in, because I do wake up most days and wonder why I’m waking up tired. If this is you too you might get some useful info from these 10 tips for more energy.

2. I feel like I’ve been trying to build a cosy home for a number of years. Lots of times I get home in the evenings and I definitely feel that vibe, but sometimes I also think that something is missing. These ideas will definitely help! I especially love that she included thrifty options for all the suggestions.

3. Now that I am working with watercolour every day for my 100 Day project, I am falling back in love, and want to use it for all the things! I loved this post about visual journaling in a sketchbook, and it sparked an idea of how I can do some documenting.

4. I adore all things coconut. I have fond memories of coconut ice-cream (I miss it!), and so this recipe for coconut macaroons is an absolute yes!

5. The universe is definitely telling me that I need to get back to making zines. And guess what, so should you!
