The chickpea flour cookbook excites me! Who knew that chickpea flour is gluten free, grain free, low-glycemic and high in protein, fibre and iron? Well, I never knew! With recipes such as cinnamon apple fritter puffs and ginger scones with chickpea lemon curd, I am looking forward to making them and testing them out.
Other treats over the last few weeks have been the Psychologies magazine which always opens my mind and leads me to finding out about new things; Happy Wax melts shaped like little teddy bears (I have yet to bring myself to watch them melt in the burner) with wonderful autumnal scents such as apple harvest, cinnamon chai and pumpkin souffle.
Last but not least is the stack of kraft paper journals that I 'needed' but can't remember why! I am sure I will put them to good use!
What a lovely collection of things! We have similar tastes I think :)
ReplyDeleteI am not able to wear most perfumes that you can buy in the shops. My body has some kind of weird reaction to them and they end up smelling really awful after about half an hour as well as making me feel ill. I have found that I can only wear perfumes that have a very simple one note fragrance so these ones you have pictures here might be okay. The Green Tea perfume from L'Occitane is my favourite perfume that I've tried so far. I only have a tiny sample bottle of it, but it's lasted me ages.
Enjoy your weekend xx
Lots of lovely treats here Simone! I hope you can find the right perfume for you. Have a great weekend xox
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased to see that your quest to focus on you is continuing in such interesting directions. Keep it up, girl. You encourage us all.
ReplyDeletehappy weekend.
Lots of lovely treats Simone!
ReplyDeleteChickpeas are very versatile, you can use the water from a tin of chickpeas to make meringue which I find amazing!

Those perfumes look interesting - I will have to google them to find out more. I don't find perfume easy I am not keen on most scents on me they tend to give me headaches. I found one by Ortigia called Zagara - it is Italian and I tend to wear this most of the time now. It is a citrus scent rather than flowery.
ReplyDeleteChickpea flour is really good as is Buckwheat which I thought was gluten free too. Let us know how the recipes go.
Lovely treat. Hope you remembered what the journals were for

Lovely treats, Simone and so unusual too. I don't think I could melt those teddies either:)
ReplyDeleteI think little "treats" are just what we need at times. I tend to be very careful with money, but get a real lift out of a treat or two once in a while!! Glad to see that you are continuing with self care, Simone. xx
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of the scents of those melts, pure autumn.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know all those things about chickpea flour either, certainly good to know, thanks for sharing.
