Hi there !!

   Last week end it was so sunny outside (pretty unusual for Germany!) that I decided that I needed to cheer up my entrance !
So I created a colorful wreath that inspires (me at least!) of spring and Easter !
Here is how I did it :

T
 The material:
- a foam wreath
- a pair of scisors
- any fabric you like
- hot glue gun and glue sticks
- felt
- burlap
- pins

Step one:
Cut one or 2 long stripes of your fabric. don't worry about cuting it straight or anything, it will orverlap.
Pin the fabric behind the wreath and roll it over, all the way around, securing it with pins

Step two:
Once you are done "wrapping" your wreath add any kind of deco you have under the hand that you like !! I took some felt flowers that I made ages ago and never used.
Hot glue them on the wreath. I added some buttons  but as you will see at the final picture, I covered the buttons with a green felt dot afterwards cause I didn't think the color fit.

Step three:
To hang your wreath, take anything you have that matches your fabric like felt, ribbon, cords or burlap!
In this picture I tried it with felt but I didn't like the result so I just cut it away and replace it with burlap.
Hotglue the 2 ends to secure it as shown in the picture.

Step four:
Hang your wreath and chek the colors. If you want to adjust it, it's never too late !!
As I said, I changed the buttons for some felt and the felt hanger for some burlap !!!
Add any personal touch for a real nice look !!



And here is the final look !!
What do you think ?
I would love to read your comments !!!

And please let me know if you did a nice Easter wreath as well !!
Love

The lazy (girl) BuN !

Hi Girlz !

   Today I want to share with you one of my favorite "hair styling" if we can call it like that !! It's so fast and easy that anyone can do it... even me ! My hairs are not the best for styling cause they are flat and straight !  All you will need is an elastic, a backcomb brush and a few bobby pins.




Well, so here is how to make that super easy bun:










Leave a comment if you tried it as well !!  And if you have other easy tricks to style your hairs, leave your links down below and I'll be pleased to check them out!!  Have a good evening everyone -XO

Since a little while I'm trying to reduce my meat consumption and a colleague of mine passed me some vegetarian recipes and that one was a hit, for hubby and I ! Bonus; it's super easy !

You need:
4 tbs of oil
2 zucchinis
1 red pepper (what ever color it really doesn't matter!)
1 onion
2 cups of rice
2 cans of crushed tomatoes
2 cans of water (use the tomatoes one!)

How to:
Preheat the stove at 250°
Sauté all vegetables in 2 tbps of oil. Reserve in a baking dish
Add the 2 other tbs of oil in the pan and stir the rice in for about 2 min.

Enjoy !!!

Hi everyone !!

   I was shopping a bit this afternoon and I got some products to add to my "sharebox"! Basically, my idea is to share some products that I find here in Germany, and like, with anyone who would like to try them! I am just amazed of how cheap are all the "girly" stuff here. There are no companies sponsorizing me and I am not paid to do that!! I just do it for fun, and because I think that if everyone would share a bit, this world would be an even better place to live!
So here are the products that I add to the box

To take part of the giveaway, just go like my facebook page here;
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tryn-share/481672898540488?ref=ts&fref=ts#!/pages/Tryn-share/481672898540488?fref=ts
and share the pictures of the products to win!

The cream that you see on top is just so nice, a type of butter cream and it smells like summer !! *It gives me hope to see the sun again*  Here is the "darkest" winter since about 30 years !! I think in a whole week we see the sun about 5 to 10h max in the moment---BEURK!
Therefore, cheating with some bronzer is totally allowed !!  These are basically my "survive the winter" products in the moment :)

I wish you all a great evening !!

Hey guys !!

   It's Sunday afternoon, and in Germany, everything is closed on Sunday... which is honestly really strange for me but.. I gotta deal with it!
So I wanted to bake cupcakes but I didn't have much at home so I had to be creative a bit...! I ended up preparing "carrot cupcakes", which is pretty cool because they are healthy treats!!
So here is the recipe if you want to try that at home too, It's super easy to do and soooo yummy!

You will need:
2 and a half cup of flour
3 teaspoon of baking powder
2 teaspoon of cinnamon
half of a teaspoon of salt
1 cup of vegetable oil, or 1 cup of applesauce (for a healthier choice!)
2 cups of sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla
3 cups of grated carrots

How to:
1) Preheat your oven at 350C
2) Mix all dry ingredients really good, using a fork
3) Mix the 4 eggs, add slowly the sugar and mix. Add you applesauce or oil and the vanilla.
4) Add the wet indredients to the dry part making sure to mix well
5) Add the carrots and mix
6) Place in your muffin form
7) Bake for about 20 min.

For the icing;
1 block of Philadelphia cheese, room temp.
1 table spoon  of milk
1 table spoon of vanilla
3 cups of icing sugar, sifted
Just mix everything together until uniform and place in the fridge for min 30 min.

When your muffins are ready, let them cool before icing and enjoy !!!

Have a good baking Sunday!
