Hot Pink Yoga & Yogi Tea

I love Yoga!
I really love Yoga!
I still remember the first time I did Yoga way back in 1998 & thought 'Wait, What!? How hard is this!!!' I grew to love it though!

 

Anyhoo, I received my newest of orders from yogamatters this morning & what I love about orders from them is that they always pop a couple of Yogi Tea bags in with your order too!!!

Fab!

 

Well I best show you what I got in my order ....

I got a new yoga bag!!! I went for the Hot Pink one as you can see!!!

I love it as I can fit my mat, my block, my belt, my blanket in too! Plus it has a little pocket so fits my purse, phone & inhaler in there too!

You can find these
*HERE*

 

I thought it would be perfect as I have a Hot Pink yoga block & a hot pink yoga belt!!!

I do calm all this hotness down with an indigo blue yoga mat though!!!

Sometimes a girl can have too much Hot Pink in her life!!!

Although saying that I have just this afternoon bought some new Hot Pink trainers!!!!

I obviously need pink in my life at the moment!!!

New Sofa

 

Our new sofa arrived yesterday!!!

*Hurrah*

 So our white Ikea sofa has gone in our new snug TV room which is the downstairs bedroom (we have an odd shaped house!!!) which used to be my workspace!
The Number Fifteen workspace is now in a brand spanking new room which James made for me in our small attic room (we have a normal size one too - see it is an odd house!!!) that is at the top of our stairs!

 

The sofa was super reasonably priced & is THIS ONE I must admit it was a bit of a shock to sit on it at first as it is really firm & we were used to our squishy white Ektorp sofa but to be honest I found the Ektorp sofa a bit firm to start off with compared to our sofa before that!!!!

 

The cushion is of course the Ikea Stockholm Cushion which is £15, the clock is the Fnitter clock from Ikea & is £12.50, and you can just see our Ikea Stockholm Nest of Tables sneaking into view in the corner there too, they are £160.

 

Snug Calendar Prints - Reduced!

 

*eek* Sorry on the lack of blogging lately & can you believe it is May already!!!!

Anyhoot & I just wanted to let you know that the Snug 2014 Calendar Prints have been reduced & are now only £9 each!!!!

There aren't too many left either.

 

The come in either white or pink & are both fab!

Find them both

The Owl & The Cactus

I am loving Cactus at the mo, they are such little cuties aren't they?

I've always had a soft spot of them since I was a little girl I think I got my first one when I was about 6.

I loved that little fella.

 

This one above is one of the ones I have recently got from Ikea sitting here in my living room with the owl by his side. You get them in a set of 3 & they come in their own little pots. You have a choice of 6 colours but of course I chose white!

I have had a casualty already though, as I had one of them on a picture ledge near the front door & one day last week when it was super windy the door was opened & a huge gust of wind rushed in & knocked my pictures off the ledge with knocked my little cacti off too. He got damaged pretty badly & lost some limbs but I'm taking care of him & hope he grows back. Poor little guy.

 

Like I said find these cuties at Ikea, take a peek HERE at the colour combos & the lovely owl you can find at Number Fifteen.

Acorn Lights

I first came across these wonderful lights from Nordic Leaves & fell in love with their simplistic natural beauty. They are from Finnish designer Maija Puoskari.

As you can see the lamps are inspired by the shape of acorns. They are made using opal white mouth-blown glass and Finnish alder.

I just love their pleasing familiar shape & the wood would be so warm & beautiful in a white room setting, perfect for dark Autumn evenings. They make me think that if I placed these in my home it would suddenly feel like I'm living in a wonderful Scandinavian fairytale.

Brakig Wallpaper from Ikea

Who is loving the new Limited Edition Brakig Wallpaper from Ikea?

 I know I am. 

We bought some of the white with colour triangles wallpaper last weekend as we just couldn't resist it although we are not sure where to put it yet - my favourite spot is in the kitchen but it is a difficult space & James said he doesn't want to wallpaper that again so soon!

It is a super duper bargain though at only £5 a roll, so what's not to love!

The only problem is, is that it is Limited Edition & once it's gone, it's gone!

So be quick people before it sells out.

 

We went over to Ikea again last night to get the grey geometric paper for a wall in our bedroom as we didn't want to miss out!

See I told you I'm loving it!

Yellow Exterior - Art for the Street

I've seen these images floating around the interwebs for a short while now & I am so enthralled by them every time I see them.

 

This is the front of a vegan restaurant Rayen in Madrid & this exceptional work of art is by Fos a multidisciplinary team based in Madrid and Barcelona.

 

The lamp above the door lights up the whole space with brilliant sunshine yellow which cuts through the table & chairs & painting on the wall & extends onto the pavement.

 The protected facade of the vegan restaurant Rayen at Lope de Vega street in Madrid has been illuminated for 4 days and nights by more than 250ml of yellow tape, painted décor items, pineapples and... a lamp. A visual game between perspective and coloured volumes that gained the looks.

 

Check out this fabulous work & see more photos of how it was done
