All IKEA: Cool office

Its probably a kind of weird, but I like to buy pencils, markers, note blocks and all of that. Of course you need a place to store all of that and do your work. So the office is a perfect place for me! Looking at the picture above its probably no surprise..... i like the color black. Here are a few products I like for a cool looking office.

1 - HEKTAR Lamp € 69.95 / st. 47 cm.
IKEA had done a real good job with this lamp. This industrial looking lamp would make lots of rooms look great.

2 - OLUNDA Picture in frame  € 14.95 / st. 30x30cm
I always like goofy looking photo's or drawings in neat black frames. I would probably change the image of the picture with something found on Pinterest, or a printed word or letters.

3 - NILS Chair black € 99.- / st.
A classy but modern looking chair. Probably quite comfortable.

4 - LEKSVIK Desk black € 169.- / st. 119x60 cm
Yes.... I'm in love! Its a cool, sophisticated, cute and perfect desk. I want! I want!

5 - BLOMSTER candlestick Set of three € 14.95 / st.
Make your office cute and a nice place to be with decoration like candles.

Cute Summer Flower Cupcake

Don't you love these cute summer flower cupcakes? 

This is how you make them. The quick and easy way is to melt the butter in the microwave and then mix it with the sugar. Add the flower and the baking powder ( or use self rising flower) then the eggs and the salt.Mix all and put in the cupcake maker for 7 to 10 minutes.

If you don't have a cupcake maker preheat the oven on 200 degrees and put them in for 7 - 10 minutes. I used fondant to decorate them. I used a little cup to make the round shapes and used a fondant cutter for the flowers. I just made a little ball on top to finish the flowers.

Ingredients

When using a cupcake maker, the cupcakes won't get really brown.

Search your kitchen and use your imagination for cool decorating ideas and tools.

Healthy wheatgrass - grow it yourself

Wheatgrass

They say its really healthy...wheatgrass. So i thought I'd give it a try. You can take it as a powder, a pill or the cow way... just eating grass. 

Benefits

I'm not a nutritionist buts here are my findings on the benefits of wheatgrass. Its detoxifying. Lowers blood pressure. It's cleansing. It contains lots of vitamins and minerals. It's an energy booster. And lots more.

How to grow it

Growing wheatgrass is very easy. You can bur the seeds in your local bio-shop. I'm Dutch so they are called 'tarwegraszaad'. 

You just have to take a plastic tray and put some cotton pads in it. Add some water to it. The first day you can add a lot of water. When you tilt the tray it should flow a little. Put the seeds in it. It will take around seven or eight days to grow.  

How to use it

When its fully grown you can juice it or mix it in a smoothie.

Summer Smoothie

I just got into making smoothies. To be honest, at first I didn't really like them. If you make one with vegetables they are hard to drink. Recently I thought I give it a try again. I looked up some recipes and they turned out great. I make them for breakfast quite a lot now. Here is the recipe of the one above:

Ingredients:

• Frozen summer fruit
• 1/2 banana
• Yogurt or almond milk

Mix all the above ingredients in a blender. Easy as that.
