I absolutely adore crepes, pancakes and any cakes for that matter. Its the light crispy taste and lathering of lemon juice and suger or pure maple syrup. I am salivating just writing about it. Once I realised I was intolerant to gluten it devastated me that my Sunday Farmers Market crepe would have to go. Years on I have found the perfect baking mix composed of buckwheat (not an actual wheat. decieving name I know) and tapioca. Buckwheat is the closest gluten free substitute I have found to normal flour. Making the batter a effortless dance between thin and loose but thick enough to hold once cooked and become crispy round the edges. I have served them with my new favourite pairing lemon and suger on the inside, berry compote and creamy coconut yougurt ooooooooo delish. Batter Recipe ( Makes four crepes, serves one if you are like me and make baby crepes and eat them all up. No shame). 1/4 Cup of GF Buckwheat flour mix - I use one from OM Goodness which is super reasonable and...

Eco-conscious Lifestyle - My Four Comittments While I am a rookie at the eco-friendly lifestyle I have just moved out of home and have control over what I consume and where I consume it. As I am a student and living with family I have some restriction but am trying to make progressive steps to living a eco-conscious lifestyle. Here are my four comittments. Eco-friendly shopping- Now that I have moved out of home I have come to the conclusion I need to purchase some of my own reusable shopping bags.

I got mine from wish but you can also get crochet ones from OhNatural Nz if you live in New Zealand and internationally or even the op shop and supermarkets. ...

Tips for your planning your next adventure    In April I embarked on my first financially indpenedant holiday. Having family overseas and by overseas I mean the other side of the world (germany to be exact) I have had an abundance of experience travelling with and to family and on my own. This has made me the confident and abitious traveler I am today. However, as I am a spring 18 year old children I never needed to pay for the entirety of my trip huh lucky right. Thus there were some lessons to learn when embarking on my first financially indpendant trip to Dunedin. The main lesson being that sometimes a trip can seem inexpensive but when you take into account shuttles, accomidation and flights on top of food and activities its not so cheap. I hope that the optimistic traveller can learn from my mistakes and triumphs and live a life of travel and abundance regardless of budget Take advantage of the supermaket as well as the cafes - On my short holiday I balance...

Whilst I prepared this tea nearly everyday for seven weeks it wasn't until I returned home and winter knocked on  my door that I craved it. The trendy #lemonwater has made waves for its immune boosting, alkalising and digestive superpowers. However, the practce of reparing the tea the night before and sipping it first thing in the morning is just as much of a self-care practice as it is a diet and lifestyle choice Tumeric, Ginger and Lemon Tea Amounts as given in picture two small slices of fresh tumeric  one medium slice of fresh ginger 1cm thickness slice of lemon  Prepare the ingrediants and place in a jar, thermoflask or teapot (whatever you prefer).
