Things to do during quarantine

 With the current pandemic, a lot of countries are in lock down or have restrictions in place. So here's a list of things to keep you and your family occupied from the comfort of your own home. 

1. Make something new! YouTube is full of easy to follow step by step videos for all of your art, craft and DIY needs.

2. Call a friend! During tough times like this it is important to check up on friends and family and even more important to just catch up and have a chat.

3. Create a YouTube Channel! Maybe you could make DIY or up-cycling videos. Baking, crafting or a video diary are some other ideas.

4. Do some baking! Google is full of wonderful recipes for you to try out when you're bored! Or you could call a friend or family member and ask them for their favourite recipe to try out!

5. Hold a fancy dress up dinner for your household! Cook you're family dinner and then pull out your fanciest clothes and have a fancy dinner! Or choose a theme and dress up according to that theme!

6. Do some spring cleaning! Tidy out all the cupboards you never open, you never know what you'll find!

Recently my mum and I participated in the Project Jonah Marine Mammal Medic Course. Project Jonah is a registered charity that works with New Zealanders to protect and respect our marine mammals. They run solely on the help of their volunteers, whether they're helping with a stranding or simply just picking up rubbish on the beach. Their work can fall into three categories.  Rescue -  We deliver essential first aid to stranded or injured animals via our nationwide network of trained and passionate Marine Mammal Medics. Action -  Through our public education and awareness campaigns we inform and educate people, and encourage them to get involved. Protection -  We act as a watchdog to expose marine mammal suffering and help create and enforce laws that will protect these animals. Project Jonah run Marine Mammal Medic Courses that teach you how to give basic first aid to a stranded marine mammal. This is a one day courses that is split into two parts. The morning is a c...

Time for a rename! and stuff (:

 I originally started this blog as A Little House Plant, because plants sat and saw everything, so the blog was a place for everything. The Instagram page went from a chaotic blog repost to a coherent bookstagram and I couldn't be happier! I've really enjoyed posting throughout the 2021 period however I feel it's time for a change. So I've updated my name to The Lost Love Library! I like the ring it has (vaguely poetic) and I have a completely new theme for my Instagram (under the same name as this blog) coming as soon as I finish my 2021 posts! Keep any eye out for posts coming soon! Aroha nui xo

In a bowl, beat together vegan butter, the two types of sugar and the vanilla till creamed. Add the flax egg and salt and beat well.  Next add the flour and baking soda and mix until a soft dough forms.  Stir through your chocolate chunks.  Cover the dough and refrigerate for about 15-30 minutes (this is not necessary but helps make the cookies chewier) Scoop about 1 Tbs of the dough and roll it into a ball, place it on a lined cookie sheet and flatten well with your hands (they spread a bit not a huge amount) Repeat until all of the dough is used...
