Marseilles, France

February 6, 2012

Marseilles is a great gateway to the south of France. We managed to get cheap ryanair flights from Malta to Marseilles for as little as €9.99. The flight takes two hours and takes you to MP2 in Marseilles airport. From here you can catch a airport bus shuttle to the center of Marseilles for €8.50 [...]

Chez Toinou – Restaurant Marseilles, France

February 6, 2012

The highlight of my time in Marseilles was eating at Chez Toinou. Sitting in a small square off one of the main road and about 50 steps away from tram lines. Uniquely Chez Toinou has a delightful fish market out the front of the restaurant where it displays a delicious array of fresh sea food including all [...]

A little love with some Red Velvet cupcakes

January 18, 2012

Nothing beats those mid week blues like a bit of baking. I bought some sugar paste a while back and didn’t know what I should do with it so I decided to make cupcakes and decorate them with chocolate fudge and sugar paste hearts. Red velvet cupcakes are apparently all the rage so this is [...]

Tarte Tatin

January 17, 2012

This dessert is definitely not drdietright friendly, so I posted it here instead! Prepare to feel hungry. This one didn’t last longer than 1 day in our house. Yes a whole tarte tatin in less that 24 hours. The one thing I would like to point out here was that I dont have an oven [...]

Becoming a mother

January 16, 2012

As a 28 year old female I often get asked when I am going to have children. Most of my friends do, but I don’t and I am not ashamed of this. Whereas my friends have spent time mastering the art of motherhood, I have focused on studying and building my own career. I have built [...]

BMA’s 2010 and me

January 14, 2012

Most people don’t know this but I am the voice behind, the song ‘Beautiful Eyes’ which was created by Ubahn and remixed by Jo Micali. I performed at the Bay Music Awards 2010… which was a life changing experience, because I love to sing but I am definitely not an aspiring dedicated musician. .

Austalian Orange Flower

January 14, 2012

Was in canberra for two weeks and my sister asked me to paint something using hues of orange. Admittedly this is not normal style of painting but it really worked for me. This is a zoom in of a flower, I use lines of different hues of oranges, reds and yellow to create a dizzy [...]

Magazine rolls

January 14, 2012

This is more about the frames than the actual paintings themselves. They actually looked better without the stupid paintings I did in the center. The idea here was to create 4 squares based on a colour hue. So blue, purple, green and red. I rolled and rolled tons of pages from magazines, then collected the [...]

Shattered

January 14, 2012

Probably my best piece of art. I had this canvas for 3 years, under this painting there are 3 other seriously paintings. The technique I used here was ‘pouring’. Yes, I am an artist therefore I can invent terms! I diluted my paint into small bottles and poured paint over the canvas. Waiting for each [...]

To All those Racists

February 22, 2011
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I can not believe some of the comments I have been reading in the Libya related articles on the timesofmalta. The only way I can justify religious people and their harsh mentalities is by assuming that they do not understand what is going on in the Maghreb. So, today my post is an explanation of [...]
