for the Asylum Seekers Support Trust that will be displayed on a
indoors walkable trail in Auckland of about 90 artists.<br />A little bit about the Trust:<br />To
provide safety, support and advocacy for all people who are driven to
seek asylum in New Zealand, for any reason. For more info <a href="http://www.aucklandrefugeecouncil.org/" target="_blank">www.aucklandrefugeecouncil.org</a><br /><br />You can download the app here ...<a href="http://frameworks.org.nz/" target="_blank">http://frameworks.org.nz/</a> to join in the fun and see all these amazing pieces of work on display from 22nd-30th April<br /><br />So here is a sneaky peak of my piece, which is on display at the beautiful <a href="http://www.oldfort.co.nz/" target="_blank">Old Fort</a> in Chancery Square.<br />
<br />

<br />
Now this is totally different to what I was originally working on as I
had a bit of a mishap with the varnish (when the piece was due two days
after me applying this) so I quickly went into plan B mode - and thank
goodness got hold of another frame and started from scratch working
right through Easter weekend to complete, I love sometimes when
accidents like this happen, as often you end up learning new skills,
ideas and therefore better and newer things come from this and I'm
really loving this piece bringing in the natural wood.<br /><br />About Holi and this piece....<br /><b>Heart of Holi</b><br />This
piece, created for Frame Works, represents Ema's strong belief in
supporting those who are disadvantaged in the wider community. <br />Ema
has travelled many times to India and worked in poor villages helping
disadvantaged children. While living in India Ema was very aware of the
prominent colours of many buildings painted with this beautiful mixture
of washed colours and this inspired Ema to create this piece. <br /><br />
<br />
<div>
For Ema, Holi represents love, calm, grace, tranquility, patience
and understanding. One of the most outstanding features about Holi is
her awareness of the environment. Holi is at home in the three elements
of water, earth and air and this speaks of her diversity.</div>
The heart that Holi floats in shows that she opens her heart to all and
welcomes all those that are disadvantaged into our greater community so
they can experience a new life after years of fear and anxiety.<br />

<br />
Welcome to the enchanted world of Ema Frost Art.<br /><br />Ema Frost is a New Zealand based graphic artist, illustrator and ceramic designer. <br /><br />She
burst onto the Auckland art scene back in 2010 and has been captivating
her fans ever since. In her unique style, Ema uses bright colors to
give life to beautiful images, the inspiration of which comes from Ema’s
fascination and deep respect for the mystery and magic found in Maori
and Japanese folklore. The often delicate and always delightful
characters she creates are the perfect marriage of these mythical
cultures, blended with clean lines and vibrant colors that are the
hallmarks of Ema’s work. Part of the charm of her work is in the little
idiosyncrasies that can be found only upon closer inspection of her
images. Look carefully and you’ll see little characters peeking out from
unsuspecting places and the omniscient Tiki watermark that protects all
life in the world of her imagination.<br />
<br />Originally as a graphic
artist and illustrator, Ema’s characters were brought to life in print. However, over the years they have sprung from the page and are now
featured in her range of watches, coffee cups, cell phone covers and
cheeky little collection of button badges. Ema’s playful use of color
extends to her ceramic collection as well. Her range of Dinkies
(featureless bunnies) are finished in pastel pink and mint and add a
delightful touch of Frost wherever they are found. Ema’s work can be
found in galleries, homes, hotels and schools all over New Zealand,
Japan, India, Australia, Germany and the USA!<br />
<br />While her characters
may have been born out of her fascination with Maori Folklore and
mythology, Ema’s dreamlike imagery is universal and her work appeals to a
wide range of art lovers from all over the world. And now for the first
time, Ema Frost’s collection of products will be featured in ORA
Gallery in New York from 3-24 December. So if you’re in the area why not
get a bit of Frost this Christmas?!<br />

Ema is always on the search for new mediums through which she can bring the characters of her imagination to life. It was during one such sojourn to India last year that Ema stumbled upon the enchanting city of Udaipur. She was so taken by the charm of the ‘City of Lakes’ that Ema returned for a 2 month residence in December and January this year. In the first weeks of her stay she created the Fluro/Neon coloured ‘Love Series’, experimenting with the contrast of bright pink and black paint on traditional Indian Handmade Paper with their Gouache paints. As the guest of local Rajasthani artist, Rajesh Soni, Ema exhibited her work at his Gallery One. The local response to her collection was phenomenal, as was the interest in her clothing apparel and ceramics. In an uncanny coincidence a kiwi woman from Queenstown recognised Ema’s work and also has a few of her pieces. (Udaipur is like the Queenstown of India) It seems that even across the world, there is always a touch of Frost!<br />
<br />
So what’s next for Ema now that she is back in Aotearoa? Well, she is busy collating her Indian experience into a new collection inspired by the sites, smells, colours and tastes of Udaipur. Along with her solo work, and a very exciting collaboration with Flox, Cathy Pope and Sacha Stejko later in the year up in India again, and a possible collaboration with New York based Jewellery designer, Rosena Sammi, is also in the pipeline.<br />

<span style="color: #8cc74c;">About The Whittaker’s Big Egg Hunt</span></h1>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The eggstraordinary Whittaker’s Big Egg Hunt in support of Starship is back in New Zealand for Easter!</span></section><section class="content full"><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Following the rip-roaring success of last year’s inaugural hunt down
under, 100 giant eggs created by leading and emerging New Zealand
artists, designers and celebrities have been hidden in Auckland,
Wellington and Christchurch.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">From 12 March to 7 April 2015, the public can scramble to the streets to hunt the stunning artworks and <a href="http://www.whittakersegghunt.co.nz/">download the app</a>
to take part for a chance to win a grand prize; four gold Whittaker’s
Wabbit necklaces designed and crafted by Partridge Jewellers.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Whittaker’s Big Egg Hunt will raise funds for the Starship
Foundation, a social-profit organisation which supports the national
children’s hospital to provide world-leading care for more than 120,000
patient visits each year. The eggs will be auctioned off for Starship,
80 of them on <a href="http://www.trademe.co.nz/stores/starship">Trade Me</a>,
and 20 at a gala cocktail event on 31 March. As principal sponsor,
Whittaker’s is committed to contributing at least $150,000 to Starship
Foundation through an on-pack promotion with its top-selling Creamy Milk
block, which features a wrapper designed by a Starship patient.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Big Egg Hunt concept first came about in London in 2012 to engage
the public in a fun and interactive way while fundraising for charity.
Since then The Big Egg Hunt has grown to include Dublin, New York and
New Zealand. It is believed to be the biggest egg hunt of its kind

In Japanese culture, a doll called a Daruma is given to motivate goal setting and perseverance, yet it has no eyes. It is for the recipient to add them. "You hold the Daruma in one hand and visualize your goal, then apply one eye. Once you have reached your goal, you add the other one. For artist Ema Frost the dolls are reminders of the tasks she has on the go. She keeps only a couple, which is just as well; if there were one for every goal she's ticked off there wouldn't be a Daruma-free space in her Auckland studio.<br />
<br />
The farm in Kaukapakapa where Ema grew up is a long way from Tokyo. "When I was a kid I discovered that you don't choose art, art chooses you." She toyed with the prospect of art as a career but fitness offered more stability and Ema focused on obtaining a diploma in personal training. The pull of the big OE was strong and she left New Zealand in 2004 to spend two years working at odd jobs throughout California, Brazil, Morocco and England. "I spent a lot of time in the United States and discovered so many new products. It was easy to be creative when I was removed from my normal surroundings. I know I had to pursue art again."<br />
<br />
Overseas art schools were expensive so in mid-2006 Ema returned to Auckland and enrolled in a one-year Diploma of Graphic Design at Natcoll Design & Technology (now known as Yoobee School of Design). "The diploma helped me to find the right medium but for most things I'm self taught. I get an idea in my head and find a way of creating it."<br />
<br />
Since graduation, Ema has tried her hand at ceramics, jewellery, prints children's books and figurines, often being told that the way she wanted to do things was not possible. "But I've learned not to listen when people say you can't do something."<br />
<br />
The creation of her first prints in 2009 let to a commercial breakthrough. "I started with four core prints and I've kept adding to them. The drawings come from a made-up land in my head. The figures are based on both Maori and Japanese mythology; a lot of the myths and legends from the two cultures are quite similar." Ema's first retails opportunity came through a friend who introduced her to a Newmarket gallery. "Now I am stocked in six galleries and they are my main source of income."<br />
<br />
Her newest venture takes on the toughest of all art critics by making her characters stars of a series of children's books. The hero is a little warrior boy searching for his princess. In a melding of Maori and Japanese culture, Ema has developed her own Daruma called Kaikaro, meaning goalkeeper. "He looks like a chubby tiki and appears when the warrior boy becomes distracted. It's my dream to take him into schools where I could help students make paper-mache versions of him to focus their goal setting. I've even made little motivational badges with Kaikaro's face on them."<br />
<br />
For Ema. being an artist involves much more than just sitting down and creating. "Marketing and PR are becoming more and more important - it's not just art any more. The hardest thing is getting it out there and still being creative. You have to have more than just a print these days. I love the idea of being on everything and anything: <a href="http://www.emafrost.co.nz/" target="_blank">merchandise</a>, furniture, fashion."<br />
<br />
Ema may need to head back to Japan to pick up more Daruma dolls to cope with her multiplying goals. She's showcasing her work in the Air New Zealand Koru Lounge at Auckland International Airport, has several exhibitions lined up for 2014 and works as a personal trainer every morning. The Daruma has its eyes set on her artistic career and is blind to her love of surfing and her social life. "Art is in me, not matter what. I would hate not to do this. It's my therapy; I get lost in my work"<br />

<i><b>Ema on</b></i><br />
<b>Overcoming rejection:</b> "When I get turned down I don't dwell on it, I just move on. The work is never going to be to everyone's liking so I don't try."<br />
<br />
<b>Sticking to a style:</b> "Believe in yourself and keep doing what you love doing. You want to be able to have 10 of your works hidden within 100 others and have someone pick out all 10 of yours."<br />
<br />
<b>Being on show:</b> "Having exhibitions means having deadlines and that keeps you focused. You need deadlines. Exhibitions tend to lead into new people and new things too."<br />
<br />
<b>Bird watching:</b> "There is always a hummingbird in my prints; it's become like my trademark. When I look back at works from when I was studying, hummingbirds often popped up."<br />
<br />
<b>Family thoughts:</b> "I'm very lucky to have parents who have always believed in anything I have wanted to do. I have always been surrounded by positive people. It's hard when you're not in that environment."<br />

then apply one eye. Once you have reached your goal, you add the other
one.” For artist Ema Frost the dolls are reminders of the tasks she has
on the go. She keeps only a couple, which is just as well; if there were
one for every goal she’s ticked off there wouldn’t be a Daruma-free
space in her Auckland studio.<br />
The farm in Kaukapakapa where Ema grew up is a long way from Tokyo.
“When I was a kid I discovered that you don’t choose art, art chooses
you.” She toyed with the prospect of art as a career but fitness offered
more stability and Ema focused on obtaining a diploma in personal
training. The pull of the big OE was strong and she left New Zealand in
2004 to spend two years working at odd jobs throughout California,
Brazil, Morocco and England. “I spent a lot of time in the United States
and discovered so many new products. It was easy to be creative when I
was removed from my normal surroundings. I knew I had to pursue art
again.”<br />
Overseas art schools were expensive so in mid-2006 Ema returned to
Auckland and enrolled in a one-year Diploma of Graphic Design at Natcoll
Design & Technology (now known as Yoobee School of Design). “The
diploma helped me to find the right medium but for most things I’m self
taught. I get an idea in my head and find a way of creating it.”<br />
Since graduating, Ema has tried her hand at ceramics, jewellery,
prints, children’s books and figurines, often being told that the way
she wanted to do things was not possible. “But I’ve learned not to
listen when people say you can’t do something.”<br />
The creation of her first prints in 2009 led to a commercial
breakthrough. “I started with four core prints and I’ve kept adding to
them. The drawings come from a made-up land in my head. The figures are
based on both Maori and Japanese mythology; a lot of the myths and
legends from the two cultures are quite similar.” Ema’s first retail
opportunity came through a friend who introduced her to a Newmarket
gallery. “Now I am stocked in six galleries and they are my main source
of income.”<br />
Her newest venture takes on the toughest of all art critics by making
her characters stars of a series of children’s books. The hero is a
little warrior boy searching for his princess. In a melding of Maori and
Japanese culture, Ema has developed her own Daruma called Kaikaro,
meaning goalkeeper. “He looks like a chubby tiki and appears when the
warrior boy becomes distracted. It’s my dream to take him into schools
where I could help students make papier-mâché versions of him to focus
their goal setting. I’ve even made little motivational badges with
Kaikaro’s face on them.”<br />
For Ema, being an artist involves much more than just sitting down
and creating. “Marketing and PR are becoming more and more important –
it’s not just art any more. The hardest thing is getting it out there
and still being creative. You have to have more than just a print these
days. I love the idea of being on everything and anything: merchandise,
furniture, fashion.”<br />
Ema may need to head back to Japan to pick up more Daruma dolls to
cope with her multiplying goals. She’s showcasing her work in the Air
New Zealand Koru Lounge at Auckland International Airport, has several
exhibitions lined up for 2014 and works as a personal trainer for five
hours every morning. The Daruma has its eyes set on her artistic career
and is blind to her love of surfing and her social life. “Art is in me,
no matter what.I would hate not to do this. It’s my therapy; I get lost
in my work.”<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.remix.co.nz/" target="_blank">MY INTERVIEW WITH REMIX!! </a></span> </b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So after my return from Japan I got to meet the lovely crew at Remix........</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every day the team at <i><a href="http://www.remix.co.nz/" target="_blank">REMIX</a></i> gets their morning caffeine fix from <span style="color: black;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/santoscafeponsonby?fref=ts" target="_blank">Santos,</a> the coffee shop across the road from our office. As well as having great coffee, Santos has an ever-changing wall featuring artwork by Kiwi artists. The most recent collection of work, a series of illustrations by freelance artist <i><a href="http://www.emafrost.co.nz/" target="_blank">EMA FROST</a>, </i>caught our eye with their bold colours and beautiful detailing. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/StevenFernandezMedia?fref=ts" target="_blank"><i>STEVEN FERNANDEZ</i></a> grabbed Ema's details from the barista and phoned her up for a quick chat.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"><b><i>So Ema, sitting here in Santos and admiring your art on the wall, I must say I love your work. Did you approach Santos to display your work, or did they come to you? How does that kind of thing happen and do you have your work in other cafes or is this something new for you?</i></b></span> Well actually, I remember seeing an artist that I really liked ages ago, before I even started drawing and I just remember the name Santos. Then is wasn't until a friend of mine exhibited there and I asked to him how he organised it and he just told me to get in touch with them. The owner Anne is really nice and basically that's what I did, I got a hold of her and she liked my work and she was cool for me to put it up!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"><i><b>As a freelance artist and illustrator how do you make most of your income? Is it the hard slog that people perceive it to be as an artist? Is it completely a labour of love or do you have another job on the side?</b></i></span> I do other work on the side, but I think I'm lucky with the style of my work; it's quite commercial looking so it's more appealing to get other work. So it is really because I love doing it. It's hard to do a commercial project if you're not really on the same page as the client. I've now worked on some projects and they know what my style is like, so I've been able to just get on with it and they kind of expect that as they know what my style looks like.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"><i><b>Tell us about the inspiration and influences behind your work.</b></i></span> I'm really inspired by Japanese art and I have just come back from spending a month in Japan. I really like the New Zealand history side of things so it's like an interwoven mix of Maori legends and the Japanese styles. I've kind of created an enchanted world, of what I see in my mind with my characters. I'm working on a children's book so I have written that and now I'm illustrating it. And I'd love for that to be made into an animated film.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"><i><b>What artists inspire you?</b></i></span> You know what, I try not to look at anyone locally, because I don't want to be too influenced and then accidentally use their styles. I just try to do my own thing because I want my work to always be unique and I don't want people comparing it to other artists' work who may have influenced what I'm doing subconsciously, you know?<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #20124d;"><i><b>What about overseas? My favorite Japanese artist is Takashi Murakami, what do you think of him?</b></i></span> I love his stuff! Ideally I'd love to be someone like that, because I love merchandising and he does that sort of work so well.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #20124d;"><i><b>Yeah he did a Kanye West album cover I think.</b></i></span> He's done heaps, he also did some Louis Vutton designs. He's incredible and has partnered up with hug companies. And he's done those huge sort of sculptural pieces made of chrome that look like bubbles.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #20124d;"><i><b>I saw him in the MoMA in New York! He's everywhere now! The snowball effect of working on one of those projects like an album cover leading to all those amazing opportunities... </b></i></span>That's what I need; I want work like that!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #20124d;"><i><b>What other sort of things do you have on your creative bucket list?</b></i></span> I want to work with big companies, I don't know who exactly but people that give me access to big projects. I'll continue to do more children's books, but the problem is I'm just interested in everything... So that's quite a tricky question, because there are just so many things I want to do. With me visiting Japan I realised I do want to get back into the sculptural sort of stuff again next year but that takes so long because it's so unpredictable working with ceramics and it's so hard and it's such a long process. You come across so many problems but then I guess that's the whole process; you always work out and solve what the problems are and that's what I love the most. It's like constant problem solving. How am I going to make this work? There has to be a way. I have gone to the people I know and they are like no you can't do that and you can't do it like that but I know there will be a way some how! I'm always up for a challenge and finding a solution to things I've been told I can't do.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #20124d;"><i><b>What is the process that goes into producing one of these illustrations?</b></i></span> It actually takes quite a lot as I can't just churn them out willy nilly because I do have quite a lot of thought behind each piece so there is a lot going on. I find it hard to articulate in words so I guess that's where I try and show it, in the imagery. </span><br />

<br />
Wow, where has the time gone!! I do apologize for not keeping on top of my blog!! I still have a couple of posts I've missed!! re: follow up from my AMAZING time in Japan!! I did get loads of inspiration and have sooo many ideas where is one to begin. But I'd just like to share with you that I'll be having a Exhibition at <a href="http://www.kapa.co.nz/c/221/Ema-Frost.aspx" target="_blank">Kapa Gallery</a> in Queenstown NZ.<br />
<br />
I welcome you to the enchanted, vibrantly colourful world of Ema Frost, where hummingbirds are reflected in the eyes of my characters and magical creatures hide in unsuspecting places, visible to only the most discerning eye. The delicately detailed images are inspired by the combined mythologies of Japanese and Maori folklore. The magic for me is in the detail. Each piece is not just an image, but a character with a history, name and mythology associated with it. My latest collection was born out of my most recent Artist in Residence in Japan, where I found my muse in the cities of Tokyo, Kanazawa, Osaka and Kyoto. And I hope all will enjoy :)<br />
<br />
Also I'd just like to add since my return I've been very lucky to have my works grace the walls of the coveted Koru lounge at Auckland International Airport and am featured in the latest <a href="http://www.remix.co.nz/" target="_blank">REMIX magazine</a> which I will post the interview soon! I promise.<br />
<br />
With lots of Frost<br />
Ema xx<br />
<br />
PS I'll be posting the art soon after the exhibition is underway <br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.frostanddinkie.co.nz/" target="_blank">TO THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN </a></span> </b> <br />
<br />
Wow, it seems like it has been for ever me wanting to go to Japan, and now it is finally happening. I've been very fortunate to have been invited there
for a
Artist in Residence for the month of October.<br />
<br />
I will be staying with Japanese artist and
art school owner Kimiko Matsumoto. We
were introduced to each other in 2010 by one of my clients who has
been following my work for quite sometime now and knew of my interest in Japanese art. <br />
<br />
During my trip to The Land of the Rising Sun, I will be immersing myself in the local traditions and customs of Japanese culture, in
search of inspiration for the series of Children’s books that I'm writing
and illustrating featuring many of my characters;
Little Warrior Girl and Boy, Kuini, Tikina, and the Magical
Hummingbirds. The stories are loosely based on Maori myths and legends. Whilst my art has a
distinct New Zealand theme, you can feel my Japanese interest interwoven with
the folklore of Maori mythology giving my work a sense of enchantment
that feels truly magical. I will also be spending time at Kimiko Matsumoto’s
art school, learning from fellow artists as well as teaching the
local students.<br />
<br />
I love Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara, (this is one of his pieces to the right of the pics above)
whose work I came across by chance when an art contributor for the Art News New
Zealand Magazine mentioned that elements of my art reminded him of
Yoshitomo’s work. Yoshitomo has received international acclaim for his
Japanese pop art sculptures and paintings. In addition Yoshitomo has
also written and illustrated his own children book. <br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">The pilgrimage to Japan is an artistic journey that has been
evolving with the creation of my characters which pictured here is
<a href="http://www.frostanddinkie.co.nz/" target="_blank">Little Warrior Girl</a>, one of my favorite. I love how I can bring
these two worlds together through my work, combining fairytale
characters from Japanese and Maori folklore.</span><br />

Colloquially
known as K Road, the Link Bus (that's the bright green one) is a handy
way to find your way to one of Auckland's most famous streets. A
bohemian mix of second hand boutiques, food halls, nail bars,cafes and
bars; K Rd offers a glimpse of the cross section that makes up
Auckland's CBD. Take the time to explore the arcades – they're full of
hidden treasures. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Editor's Tip:</span> Another
of my favourite parts of town, I LOVE buying gifts on K Rd, for other
people as well as myself! Plus it's great for fast, cheap food when
you're on the run and just don't know what you want. There's always a
buzz around here - such a colourful cast of characters in this part of
town. It never fails to put a smile on my face. Sarah McMullan </i></div>

This is one of my Tattooed Dinkies, finally! Its been a long time in
the making. Dinkie pictured here is a ceramic mintie gloss with my
illustrations glazed/tattooed on, so it's there for good, no laser
treatment's gonna get this off. Each one is slightly different as I have
to hand make each one.<br />

These little guys are available through selected stores in NZ and will now be available at the Frost+Dinkie showroom in Cross St Arcade, 1/214 K'rd, Auckland, NZ, and of course you can get them online at <a href="http://www.frostanddinkie.com/">www.frostanddinkie.com</a> - they are very limited though as I have to make each one!<br />

Make your own brick shelves. I just put this together the other day which I'm using in the Frost+Dinkie showroom/gallery.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
All you need is some bricks - which I picked up from TradeMe or you can get from a Demolition Yard, and a sheet of 1200x1200 board - which I picked up from Bunnings and they can cut it there for you if you don't have the tools at home.<br />
Then I just painted everything white! You could paint the bricks any colour (I was going to paint them bright blue or pink, but because I'm using this in the gallery, white is suited best).<br />

People that know me, know I'm obsessed with finding just the right size, colour, even what it is made of, whether it's a bowl, plate, chopsticks, you name it.<br />
<br />
And I knew there was a good reason behind my obsession, among other things, but here is just one good reason to Go Blue:<br />
Ever wonder why fast food restaurants are painted red? It's a stimulating colour that encourages you to eat more, so it's recommended to eat on blue plates instead. Blue is a soothing hue that helps you slow down. And try to use a smaller than normal dinner size plate too -yah normal dinner plate is MASSIVE!.<br />
<br />
So now another mission begins, to not only find the right size but also to be BLUE! this could take some time, and this is often when my inspiration begins, to create my own, - does it ever stop!<br />
<br />
So, be kind and do one thing today that makes you happy. Stress is related to 99% of all illness!<br />

After all we are the judge of our own thoughts. And surprisingly I really enjoyed it. This eccentric couple essentially lived on one income - Dorothy's, and Herb's wages were put aside for purchasing and ultimately befriending the works of unknown artists. It makes me actually want to start collecting art, hmmmm which shall be my first piece.....<br />
<br />
I'm not gonna give too much a way, but it is a really inspiring beautiful movie and I think it's one of those movies to keep on the shelf, which does remind me I must put an order in for one.<br />

I'm always on a constant quest to find/create new and better healthy concoctions.<br />
And after my countless visits to the states, being exposed to such a wide variety of choice and being such a coffee feen, I always bring back a stack load of coffee flavoured beans. I cannot understand why we do not have these options here in NZ, maybe we just haven't cottoned on to it yet, although in saying that, and only very recently (maybe the last couple of years) there is only ONE brand that has three flavours out. So what do I do when I run out of my supply?? that's when my experimenting begins.<br />
<br />
I'm not talking about the rubbishy syrup flavours - as who wants that, filled with a million calories, sugar and god knows what else - why even drink the coffee!<br />
<br />
<div style="color: purple; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So any who, here's how to make a delicious Frosty's Epic Iced Coffee with ZERO CALORIES (except a bit of milk!)</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">-Pomegranate & Grape flavoured herbal tea (Healtheries) (or any other flavour you prefer)</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">-6 ice cubes and cold water</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">-Coffee</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">-Trim/Fat-free milk</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Brew a tasty herbal tea, I make it like a concentrate, put a couple of bags in a little jug with hot water and let cool, pop it in the fridge (let it become cold - I always do extra so I've got it on hand), then make your coffee as usual, normally slightly stronger and not much hot water, a bit of trim/fat-free milk. Then all you need is a large glass, put in the ice cubes, cold water, a dash of the herbal concentrate, coffee and milk and of course a straw, and you're good to go, play around with the quantities to your tastings. It's sooo GOOD.<br />
<br />
Now if you're after a bit of a treaty - and have a bit more of a sweet tooth, I add to the above concoction 1-2 heaped tsp of 99% fat-free hot choc, (a good one I use is Jarrah's extreme choc) this is super epic!</div><br />

<br />
Go out and get some Vitamin D - from the sun right now, it is so important to get a daily dose of this, try to get anywhere from 10-20mins at least twice a week without sunscreen - so ideally this is best done early in the morning.<br />
<br />
Vitamin D deficiency could be a cause for SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) - and can result to a number of health problems (see below), so it makes sense if all we need to do is get outside, why wouldn't we!<br />
Symptoms of SAD <br />
<ul><li> Depression </li>
<li>Sleep Problems </li>
<li>Lethargy </li>
<li>Over Eating</li>
<li> Loss of Concentration</li>
<li>Social Problems </li>
<li> Anxiety </li>
<li>Loss of Libido</li>
<li>Mood Changes</li>
</ul><br />
Vitamin D is also found in oily fish like tuna and salmon as well as in fortified foods like milk and breakfast cereals. <br />
<br />
It's important to get some exposure of sun to your skin on a regular basis, it contributes to so many health benefits, when you're out in the sun you immeditatley get a feel good vibe!<br />

You have to surround yourself with things that make you happy and put a smile on your face - and does this do it or what!<br />
<br />
It not only looks super cute and cool, it has an amazing sound out-put - which comes out through it's ears and mouth, you just have to get one of these, the only design fault is that the remote should have been a panda paw - what were they thinking!! (minor detail - would definitely not be discouraged from getting one!)<br />

Go and get one now I say, you wont regret it! <a href="http://ipandadockingstation.com/">ipanda</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1
