Daily Dose #1

Beautiful - Found this gorgeous pic on a blog by a photographer 'Ibai Acevedo' from Barcelona. This collection is called 'photographing dreams'. All of the photos in this collection give a sense of being in an ethereal dream-like state by playing with the colours and changing the focus to the background. Absolutely love it and hope you guys enjoy it too..   www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/photographing-dreams-15-photos

 
Strange - This incredible island is called Socotra and lives just off Yemen. It has ridicilously strange plants, and trees that look like mushrooms. Heaps of their native fauna and flora can't be found anywhere else in the world! Kinda creepy, you almost expect aliens to jump out but its definately on my destination list!

Magnificent - Pomegrenate Ice cream

Found this deliciously magnificent recipe on prettyshinysparkly.com and had to share it with you after making it last night! Texture is really nice and smooth, and the pomegrenate is like a subtle sorbet flavour. So so easy and would be absolutely impressive at a dinner party! 

¾ C pomegranate juice

¼ C lime juice

1½ C sugar

2 C thickened cream 

Pour ingredients into a mixing bowl and whisk until peaks form. 

Pour into an old icecream container and make sure you put the lid on so that it doesn't get little icicles.

Freeze for around 7 hours.... then serve! Yum...

If you dont have an icecream container then any dish sealed well with gladwrap will do the job. Also very magnificent.. the nail polish colour! Mint by revlon. :)

Thanks for reading my first daily dose of Beautiful,Strange and Magnificent!

See you tomorrow sweets,
