Allo Movellous Movember {Free Digital Calendar & Printable}

WOW! It's that time of year already, I'm spotting guys all around the city with tufts of hair growing under their noses which will soon be proud fully grown mustaches. It's the beginning of November, which really means it's the beginning of MOVEMBER. A month in which Mo Bros around the world raise awareness of prostate cancer by encouraging men to get annual check-ups and to be aware of a family history of cancer and their lifestyle. Find out a little more & register to participate on movember.com

I think it is important to encourage & MO-tivate all guys to stay healthy so I've designed a Digital Movember Desktop calendar as a gently reminder. The Pretty Blog & Elephantshoe blog readers can download it for FREE right here. Movember Calendar

Just because us ladies can't grow a Mo doesn't mean we can't join in the awareness celebrations. We have also designed a cute Washi Tape Mustache Free Printable for you to use in a variety of ways, download the PDF, print and go Washi Tape crazy by applying fun colored & printed tape to the blank mustaches, then trim your range of unique mustaches on the outer lines. 

Use these as party props, decorate your jars in your home and office space, attach them to paper straws, make fridge magnets the ideas are endless. Use your own Washi Tape or purchase some fun colours from our Shoppe.

Our friend Andre from Blackframe Photography always pops by to our studio to help me with the photography of our DIY & Free Printable Projects and I just want to send a big THANK YOU to him for always taking such beautiful photographs for us to share here and on the pretty blog. Thanks Andre, you're a legend! 

Happy Movember

What’s Cooking . . . good looking? Meal Planner Printable

Hey, Kat here - I’m the new intern at the Elephantshoe factory. I’ve just entered my third week of internship here at Ellishoe and I’m very excited and proud to be a part of this week’s NEW family & lifestyle FREE PRINTABLE post we conceptualised, designed and styled for theprettyblog. 

Dig out the unused cookbooks you’ve hidden away on your top shelf. It’s time to make the new delicious meals that you’ve always wanted to try out. {We particularly love Summer Linguine & Roasted Pepper Bruschetta recipes from theprettyblog}.

This week’s DIY is a meal planner, use it for yourself, your family, or print a few, tie it up with some twine and give it to a friend as a little gift. Download your free MEAL PLANNER here.

Spring has come and what better way to slowly move away from hearty winter stews and soups to some lighter meals. Our Elephantshoe meal planner will not only help you to stay on track with what’s cooking in the kitchen, but it also serves as a great way to remember your list of groceries. Write them down and tick em off.

I love planning ahead and cooking good food, so I know this planner will be a must-have in my house.
