Frost+Dinkie -Tattooed Dinkie

Check out this little cutie!! Yes this is one of my creations!
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.

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 www.frostanddinkie.com - they are very limited though as I have to make each one!

Make your own brick shelving

Make your own brick shelves. I just put this together the other day which I'm using in the Frost+Dinkie showroom/gallery.

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.
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).

You could totally do this with bits of old wood you might have lying around, and also bricks, there is usually always someone that has some that are not in use.

Go Blue! - Slim down and eat better

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.

And I knew there was a good reason behind my obsession, among other things, but here is just one good reason to Go Blue:
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!.

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!

So, be kind and do one thing today that makes you happy. Stress is related to 99% of all illness!

A must watch - Herb & Dorothy

So a few weeks back now I met this really nice couple, and they recommended this must watch film that I just have to get out. - When they said the name 'Herb & Dorothy', I did have my doubts, bare in mind this was the recommendations of a much older couple than me, but I thought, hey If I don't check it out then I'd never know. 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.....

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.

Frosty's Epic Iced Coffee - ZERO CALORIES (almost - might as well be)

I'm always on a constant quest to find/create new and better healthy concoctions.
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.

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!

So any who, here's how to make a delicious Frosty's Epic Iced Coffee with ZERO CALORIES (except a bit of milk!)

-Pomegranate & Grape flavoured herbal tea (Healtheries) (or any other flavour you prefer)

-6 ice cubes and cold water

-Coffee

-Trim/Fat-free milk

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.

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!

Drop me an email and let me know how it went to: frostunderworld@gmail.com
