Plant pot spray painting

We’ve had one of those big ceramic pots on our veranda for over two years now. Inside is a climbing plant – not sure which kind- that quickly managed to cling onto the wall next to it. So when we decided to spray-paint the pot, we knew we wouldn’t be easy. Turns out it wasn’t that hard at all mainly because we had one of those spray paint handle grips. What a life changer. I have always loved spray painting stuff. Frames, pots, glass jars, ornaments and light fixtures. So I know a good spray paint brand when I see one. Enter Pinty Plus. Oh and they have little ones too. You know, for little hands.

Easy and sweet traditional Japanese matcha recipes

I received my first pouch of matcha powder earlier this month from Boost Bio Market and Ev Zin Bio. I’m a big fan of matcha smoothies but other than that I had no idea what to do with it. Enter a good friend, fellow boy mama and all around awesome person, Minako. I first wanted her matcha tea recipe. Then I wanted her matcha parfait recipe. Soon I was receiving photos of mouth-drooling Japanese treats and simple little recipes. So we decided to share and here they are!

Why I love going to summer music festivals

Last Saturday night I was sitting on the floor, outdoors, in an music arena, by the water in Faliro, Athens with a beer by my side and not a care in the world. I am about to dance and sing with thousands of people to the rhythms of rock legend, Iggy Pop. I noticed a feeling, the same feeling I always get when I am part of a large crowd at a music festival. Good vibes take on a completely different meaning during long warm summer moments like these. I have been traveling to summer music festivals abroad on and off over the past 8 years and it is an experience I am literally hooked on.

Boost Bio Market – Online organic shopping

I’ve been buying organic products for over ten years now. During my pre-mama days as a writer for a newspaper here in Cyprus, I began researching the benefits of eating organic produce and using eco-friendly products. I tried and tested products and produce, wrote articles and became convinced of the long-term goodness that comes with consuming organic. Today, and three kids later, I still purchase organic although as a big family it’s not easy to go exclusively organic due to costs… Or is it? A new local online shop, Boost Bio Market, has opened and promises to knock down prices on our favourite organic brands, offering a range of products that are delivered straight to your door. I tried it out.
