DIY Wednesday: Inspiration Journal Cover

Materials needed

Steps to make it

Hello everyone! 
Today I'm sharing with you a simple project to make: a DIY planner or journal cover. It's really easy to make and there are few materials needed. This would be fun to make on the weekend. I hope you enjoy the tutorial and are able to make it!
Let's begin...

Materials:
Scissors
An old book that you are willing to cut a page out of
Patterned paper
Pages from old magazines
Journal
Tape and/or glue




Step 1: Cut the patterned paper to fit the journal and tape/glue it down. I found it was helpful to do both, but either one would work.
Step 2: Cut a page out of your book with a sentence or phrase that you like. I've had my Lemonade Mouth book for years, so I cut out a phrase from it. It had a lot of good ones in there so it was hard to pick, but I settled on a quote from Olivia: "There's no telling what's ahead of us, but it feels right to be reminded that our lives are all connected..."
Step 3: Glue or tape your quote down. I glued mine since it was paper on paper.
Step 4: Pick the images that are going to go on your journal.
Step 5: Glue or tape those down. I glued mine, but I almost wish I had used tape since the page were so thin.
Step 6: Add whatever else you want and you're done!

Fresh Lavant: A Short Review

Good paleo restaurants are hard to come by.
So I thought I'd share with you one of my favorite restaurants. It's located in North Carolina, and it's called Fresh Lavant. It is a COMPLETELY gluten-free and soy free restaurant that serves amazing mediterranean food. They have plenty of dairy-free items as well, and even nut-free options too.
I had the pistachio chicken when I went, and it was amazing. Words cannot describe how good it was! It was served with potatoes, veggies, and a sauce that is spicy, yet delicious. If you don't care for a lot of spice, I would recommend asking for it without the sauce.
I have also eaten the almond cake. It does contain a little amount of rice flour, but it was also very good. Unfortunately, I didn't get a good picture.
They also have amazing tea, juices, and coffee. I have yet to try the coffee, but I love both the tea and juice. My favorite juice to get is the pomegranate juice. It has a little bit of a bitter taste, but I think that's what makes it tasty.
So, in conclusion, if you're looking for a great gluten-free restaurant, and also happen to love mediterranean food, it's definitely a place you'll have to try.

An Intro To Paleo's Starving Aritst

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to my first blog post! I thought, since this is the first one, why not get things started with a bang?

First things first, I love to write, and am an avid artist. I also recently started doing a paleo diet. So that's how we get the name Paleo's Starving Artist. 

So what is this blog about?
It's about a lot of things really, but mainly it's about my life as an artist on the paleo diet. I love to share my art with others, and I love being a creative cat. I also love to eat- paleo food of course.

In this blog I shall share with you what being an artist really means, as well as how to's on writing, art, and the like. I also love music, so I'll share my favorites with you, as well as the occasional review.
I also love to read, and I love sharing a good book, so I'll share some of my favorites. I'll also keep you posted on my journey as a writer (and author in progress). 
I also love to eat. Eating is probably one of my favorite things. But with the paleo diet, there are a lot of restrictions. So I'll also show you some of the things I've done to make it more enjoyable- including restaurant reviews, tips, and adventures in cooking and baking.

Every now and then I shall also put out a unique post- such as my travels, fun stuff, and well, you'll just have to wait and see.

So, now that I've introduced the blog, I think I should get started with a few posts. Stay tuned for more!
