Gardening tips: companion planting

Something worth to know in edible gardening:

The 3 - 7 - 14 shopping rule

Something to ponder on which is actually quite true! Hopefully, it can help to reduce the hoarding issue :-) Also helping in the quest to be a  minimalist!

A story for crafter's

Crafter's, take heed! This is so true!

I've personally experienced it before and I also noticed that majority of the humans think like this lady. Our blood, sweat and tears should not be accorded for the likes of her. Mind you, we are not machines ya... we spent our precious time crafting the best we could to provide the best masterpiece for YOU! We should be paid for our hard earned time and effort like how we are paid working in an office as a receptionist or data entry or telephonist.

So non creative humans,
Please do remember to pay for our hard earned time and effort. We did not spent our time doing nothing. We can't be charging peanuts for a handmade masterpiece too. Thank you.

P/S: Someone shared this in Facebook but I can't recall where so am not able to credit it :-(

Gardening tips: Good and bad bugs

It's good to know of the different bugs in your garden :-)

A healthy diet and lifestyle from now onwards

I am slowly learning and embracing a healthy lifestyle albeit a treacherous and difficult journey. Especially since hub's has hypertension, which ran in his side of the family, so the need to control and manage it is important.

Malaysian food, although delicious and tasty, is filled with lots of oil, salt, sugar, MSG and a whole bunch more unhealthy stuff. We have to eat healthily, observing the labels more especially when we buy packed food.

As I cook during weekends, now I have to learn to cook differently, using more herbs and natural ingredients for a more healthy balance diet. I've also learnt more about edible plants that I can grow via the various Facebook group channels which is really helpful.

For example, instead of using salt to taste, I've substituted it with basil and mixed herbs when I cooked this 'ABC Soup' :-)

Certainly tastier with fresh basil from my garden

My first herb: Basil

I also found this on Pinterest, which looked helpful

So from this day forth, a new resolution to live and eat healthily. Also, I am going to practice the KonMari Method of de-cluttering for a minimalist, welcoming and comfortable home so fingers crossed! I'll definitely share and post my journey here so for those who are interested can read and pick up a tip or 2!

Are you a Librocubicularist?

I know I'm not as I'll eventually falls asleep with the book no matter how exciting it is LOL!

What your coffee mug says about you

Mine is 'pretty pattern' LOL! What is yours?

#QOTD

Having a withdrawal syndrome after a short getaway LOL! So here's a meaningful quote to uplift a tormenting Thursday!

Tsundoku???

Finally, a validation that I'm normal, not a hoarder! LOL! Just can't resists sharing this!

Well, I love books and whenever I'm in a bookshop, I truly felt like I'm in heaven! Honest to goodness, I can just browse and loaf in a bookshop for hours without feeling lonely... in fact, I actually felt at home. This is just me.

So when I finally discovered KL Book Exchange Club (you can search and join this private group in Facebook if you love books and reading) in Facebook, I was ecstatic! So many like minded souls in 1 group! It's so refreshing to learn something new, meet new friends, exchanging ideas and even discussing books! I know, I admit that I'm a bookworm but, hey, I have a life! How about you?

My kinda equation: book / haberdashery + coffee = heaven

Quote of the day

My favourite quote which helps me up and think positive whenever I feel down and demotivated.

It came to mind again today as I honestly felt lost... without guidance... no validation... no affirmation. Why? This question keeps hovering over my mind. Should I continue? Should I stop? I am not a creative individual and without a marketing background as such it is difficult for me to proceed further, continue with my part-time business. At times, I just need that little nudge of validation so that I know I am on the right path but alas...

I know it is right to always proceed with what my gut tells me but being a fickle-minded person, I tend to think a lot which makes me indecisive. Hence such nudges would be greatly appreciated. It is hard for me without a clue on how to move on... if my decision is right... if I should still pursue this as the market is getting cold and the buying power seems to dissipate with GST looming over. I still have loads of stocks hence not continuing seems to be out of the question for now... sigh!

Decisions... decisions... decisions...

Something to laugh about...

Saw someone shared this on Facebook LOL! Something to laugh about during this stressed midweek ^.*
