Spotted

During flu season it's extra important to eat as healthy as you can. You know what they say about an apple a day, right? Anyway, here's a nice collection to remind you of that.

And if you do get sick, at least you can lie on this lovely pillow.

These earrings are so cute! They'd look amazing with a vintage floral dress.

Perhaps a bit Christmassy, but a lovely stamp set nevertheless.

Honestly, I always think baby booties are cute. But these take the cake! Or in this case apple pie perhaps.

This brooch would probably look amazing on everything, but somehow I picture it pinned to a satchel.

If you need something to make your chores easier, you might want to consider these dish washing sponges.

This deco tape is so pretty! It looks great like this, but you could also cut it up per fruit.

When licking these envelopes, you'll taste the fruit pictured on the edge. Nice idea, right?

And to end with something that's actually food-related: a lovely multi-tiered bento box.

August Break #9: yesterday's delicious lunch

Feel Good Food

As mentioned, I've been experimenting with Japanese food a lot lately. The pictures started piling up, so it's high time I share some with you.

Ok, so the jello isn't really Japanese, but I did give it a bit of a Japanese touch with the cherry blossom right? Either way it tasted really good, like coconut, and it looked pretty cute too. The original jello was white and I used food coloring to make some in pink and then used a cookie cutter for the flower.

I've also been interested in bento boxes lately. For my mom's last work day before her holiday break I had made her one. The sheep was based on this tutorial. The bottom was filled with jello and fruit, including apple bunnies:)

Sent along with my Christmas gifts came a few Japanese gifts as well.

This cute owl package contained this amazing bento book. I read loads of awesome recipes and helpful tips and can't wait to put it all to use.

There also were egg molds in different shapes. I tried the bunny first.

And last but not least, these gorgeous sweets. I'm about halfway through and they are delicious! Some are similar to each other, some are completely unique, so it's always a surprise what I'll get.

Unfortunately it has been to dark here to take any dinner pictures, but as winter passes I'm sure that will change sooner or later and I'm hoping to show you some home cooked meals then.

Have you tried any new foods or recipes lately?
