Hi there !!

   Last week end it was so sunny outside (pretty unusual for Germany!) that I decided that I needed to cheer up my entrance !
So I created a colorful wreath that inspires (me at least!) of spring and Easter !
Here is how I did it :

T
 The material:
- a foam wreath
- a pair of scisors
- any fabric you like
- hot glue gun and glue sticks
- felt
- burlap
- pins

Step one:
Cut one or 2 long stripes of your fabric. don't worry about cuting it straight or anything, it will orverlap.
Pin the fabric behind the wreath and roll it over, all the way around, securing it with pins

Step two:
Once you are done "wrapping" your wreath add any kind of deco you have under the hand that you like !! I took some felt flowers that I made ages ago and never used.
Hot glue them on the wreath. I added some buttons  but as you will see at the final picture, I covered the buttons with a green felt dot afterwards cause I didn't think the color fit.

Step three:
To hang your wreath, take anything you have that matches your fabric like felt, ribbon, cords or burlap!
In this picture I tried it with felt but I didn't like the result so I just cut it away and replace it with burlap.
Hotglue the 2 ends to secure it as shown in the picture.

Step four:
Hang your wreath and chek the colors. If you want to adjust it, it's never too late !!
As I said, I changed the buttons for some felt and the felt hanger for some burlap !!!
Add any personal touch for a real nice look !!



And here is the final look !!
What do you think ?
I would love to read your comments !!!

And please let me know if you did a nice Easter wreath as well !!
Love

The lazy (girl) BuN !

Hi Girlz !

   Today I want to share with you one of my favorite "hair styling" if we can call it like that !! It's so fast and easy that anyone can do it... even me ! My hairs are not the best for styling cause they are flat and straight !  All you will need is an elastic, a backcomb brush and a few bobby pins.




Well, so here is how to make that super easy bun:










Leave a comment if you tried it as well !!  And if you have other easy tricks to style your hairs, leave your links down below and I'll be pleased to check them out!!  Have a good evening everyone -XO

Hi guys !

  today I'm sharing a recipe that I tried for the 1st time tonight and... its really worth the try !! It is absolutely delicious !!! Since a little while I'm trying to reduce my meat consumption and a colleague of mine passed me some vegetarian recipes and that one was a hit, for hubby and I ! Bonus; it's super easy !

You need:
4 tbs of oil
2 zucchinis
1 red pepper (what ever color it really doesn't matter!)
1 onion
2 cups of rice
2 cans of crushed tomatoes
2 cans of water (use the tomatoes one!)

How to:
Preheat the stove at 250°
Sauté all vegetables in 2 tbps of oil. Reserve in a baking dish
Add the 2 other tbs of oil in the pan and stir the rice in for about 2 min.
Pour the rice over the veggies, add the crushed tomatoes and the water and place in the stove for about 45 minutes.

Enjoy !!!
