It’s almost mothersday. Every mother becomes happy when she gets a frame with a picture of all children or grandchildren in it. Buy a nice frame at Leuke Lijstjes.
Australian homemade
The Australian chocolate doesn’t only look great, is also tastes delicious! It’s a great present for mothersday or easter.
Red makes you thinner
It seems that when you eat from a red plate, you will eat 40% less then when you use another color. That is a nice thing to know when you are on a diet. I found this happy red Pip Studio plate. You can buy this via the Serviesshop.com.
BIO Effect
Soon I will pass 35 and I am trying not to whine about it, but I really, it’s showing. I see the first wrinkles appearing around my eyes. But that’s ok still. When you turn 35, it’s ok to have some wrinkles. But I know it can go downwards fast now. And I don’t like botox or plastic surgery, I’m not that vain. But, if there is a natural way to make my skin look vital, I am definitely trying it out.  So when I received a sample of the promising brand BIO Effect I tried it out at once. I can’t see the effect yet, but I have to admit, my skin sure feels fresh and flexible and really does look vital. More vital than it did before. So I can imagine the longterm effects being big.

Memories on canvas
We absolutely love to print our pictures on canvas. We had 3 beautiful pictures we took ourselves in Australia printed on canvas. And our daughter was photographed by Simone Janssen. We also printed this picture to hang up in her room. And then came our boy Yuren, who recently had his first birthday. Great to hang both of their pictures in our bedroom. This time we had the print made by Herinneringen op Linnen. The print was delivered fast and the quality is good. Fresh, bright colors, sharp and also easy to hang up.  
Did you go on a holiday in this may vacation and do you want your best picture printed on canvas? Or would you like to have a picture printed for Mothers’ Day? Herinneringen op Linnen now has a wonderful offer for you.

Mothers’Day: photoshoot
It’s almost mothers’day! Everyone is trying to think of something original, but eventually all mothers want a picture of their kids or grand children. On canvas or in a nice picture frame. And I have to admit, it is great to get! Just pull your kids hippest clothes on and book a photoshoot at Simone Janssen. And she made that beautiful pragnancy photoshoot from me and of our family. Simone is very flexible, she has a beautiful studio to shoot the great pictures, but also likes to do a photoshoot in the forest or on the beach. I can definitely recommend that on a nice spring day!

Mum’s miracle balm
 There is a lot available for mums already and sometimes they let me try out something. Like the Mum’s miracle balm that I received from Suikerdraakje. It’s part of the ecological collection from Natalia. It is not tested on animals and only contains natural ingredients. The Mum’s miracle balm is a greasy cream for your face and body. It makes your skin flexible and lets it shine. I loved the stuff. It took me some getting used to the structure that is a little thick, but after a few days I got used to it and it feels really good on my skin. The other products where also very nice to use. I can definitely recommend this mama collection! Maybe a good idea to give on mothers’ day. Or to give at a baby shower. You can order it online at  Suikerdraakje. Tip: check out the baby-collection, also has great products!
Suikerdraakje gives a 5% discount on the entire collection with code hipenhot2011, this discount is valid until April 8th, 2011.

Growing paper
Another wonderful Valentine-present-idea! On this special paper you can write a poem for someone you love. This growing paper gives poppies when you plant it. Make sure the paper is very wet, within 4 or 5 days you can see the first plants growing from this paper. After 2 weeks you can see the poppies growing on the paper! Really nice!
Hip & Hippie
There is a lot to tell about these special candles from the USA. First of all because I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that a beautiful charm was hidden under the lid. A gift within a gift, so to say. Wonderful! Second of all the candles burn for 70 to 120 hours and are produced in an ecological friendly way. They are not tested on animals and the paper that they used is colored with a natural pigment and are full of seads of wild flowers. The package has been chosen with care. The glasses are beautiful and can be recycled. The entire package can be reused or can be composted. You can even grow beautiful flowers with it! This is how it works: put the paper in some water for a night. Cover it with a thin layer of potting soil and keep it humid until the sprouts appear. After 1 to 2 weeks the flowers wil start to grow. You can also put them in your garden or a flower pot. Just make sure the soil wil stay humid until the sprouts appear. And last of all: they smell great! And I tested them… Admit it, it’s the best gift for your grandma, mother, friend or someone else! So many gifts in 1 candle!
We have one signature glass to give away. Of course you have to do something for a beautiful gift like this. We would like to know: from what part of the USA do the Hip & Hippie sisters come from? Please give us the answer by filling out this form and who knows you might be our happy winner.
