odd socks

What a day. It rained all day, so no outdoor photoshoot.

Left my heels at home so had to schlep around in my

BUT I have awesome tights on. Check em out - odd legs.

i'm miss june!

I was so flattered to be asked to be one of Alice Jean's

Living Doll's. If you get a minute, check out my post. :)

it's cold outside

We're in the middle of winter in Melbourne and very chilly.

I've always been very conscious of layering as I'm quite curvy,

and with too many layers I can end up looking plain bulky.

These cardys are on special for $20 currently at Cotton On and

I liked them so much, I bought four. I've been looking for '60s

knitted cardigans, but these will suffice for now.

Hobbies: Mousing, tossing cat biscuits about, playing with Barney B

sunday: '80s music and wholefood baking

I'm currently obsessed with eating wholefoods.

I eat pretty cleanly, anyway - here are my sins:

- single packet porridge for breakfast

- muesli bar for morning snack

- cuppa soup for afternoon snack

- instant hot chocolate after my dinner

Apart from that, the rest of my diet is fruits, veggies, whole

grains, nuts, beans etc. So I'm going to try to right my wrongs.

Firstly, I'm going to swap the morning muesli bar for some

homemade delights. I got this recipe from the Catie's blog, which

is where my inspiration has sprung from. Be sure to check it out,

if this is your kind of thing. There are loads of recipes to try.

FIG AND HAZELNUT BREAKY BARS

all you need is

180g of organic oats
90g of hazelnuts raw
7 big juice dried organic figs
80g of rapadura raw sugar
1 tsp of cinnamon
1/2 tsp of celtic sea salt

to be added

2 big eggs and 1/2 tbs of olive oil

Put all ingredients (except the figs) into a food processor until finely ground.

Chop the figs thinly and throw into the dry mix.

Add the eggs and the olive oil and combine.

Take 1-2 tbsp of the dough an roll into a sausage, then flatten with your palm.

This dough will not spread or rise in the oven so make the

dough into the size and shape you want your bars to take on.

Cook in a preheated 180C oven for 10-12 mins,
leave to cool for 10 mins before tucking in.
