Last updated: May 2018

Kicking Back the Pebbles may be using ad services and plugins that use cookies. Please be advised that in order to browse this website, you need to consent to the use of such cookies.

Kicking Back the Pebbles’ cookie policy explains what cookies are, how third-party partners may be using them on this blog, and what your choices are regarding cookies.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”). They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as “first party cookies”), or by third-parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website (“third party cookies”). Kicking Back the Pebbles uses third party cookies.

You should be aware that both websites and HTML e-mails (like the Kicking Back the Pebbles’ Newsletter) may also contain other tracking technologies such as “web beacons”, or “pixels”. These are typically small transparent images that provide the third-party services with statistics, for similar purposes as cookies. They are often used in conjunction with cookies, though they are not stored on your computer in the same way. As a result, if you disable cookies, the web beacons may still load, but their functionality will be restricted.

How does Kicking Back the Pebbles use cookies?

When you visit Kicking Back the Pebbles, third-party & ad services may place a number of cookie files in your web browser.

These cookies are used for a number of different purposes: some cookies necessary for technical reasons—for example, to enable certain functions within Kicking Back the Pebbles, and to provide analytics. Some enable a personalized experience for both visitors and registered users; and some allow the display of advertising from selected third party networks. The cookies may be set when a page is loaded, or when a visitor takes a particular action (clicking the “like” or “follow” button on a newsletter or blog post or comment for example).

What are your choices regarding cookies?

If you wish to delete cookies or default your web browser to delete and/or refuse cookies, please visit the help pages of your specific browser. Note however, that if you don’t allow sites to save cookies, some or several features on a webpage may not function.

*If you no longer wish to receive a newsletter, there should be an unsubscribe option at the bottom of any campaign.

About Me

A stalwart bookworm ever since I can remember myself. I studied English & American Literature and became an EFL/ESOL Teacher. I successfully(!) combined teaching and working as an executive secretary, in a big advertising company and a law firm, for several years. I'm a freelance writer, line editor, and blogger as of lately. Also, a bit ironic by nature but, all in all, quite easy-going. Partner to 1 & mother to 2 cats. I once tried to give up coffee and then swore to never make that mistake again... Read More…

I've listed my items, in case you're interested @ my linktr.ee (follow the link in bio). For the items specific to the Greek market, I've listed similar on Amazon and Amazon.co.uk (some are affiliate links).

P.S.: I realize as I'm posting this that several online shops are swamped with orders during lockdowns and have decided to go on a brief halt. Also, keep in mind that all shipments are susceptible to delays due to Covid-19 restrictions. My post is only meant to inspire you and not to overwhelm you in any way. If you like the look and wish to go for it, you can totally DIY it—or do something similar—with whatever materials you have at hand. To recreate these particular baubles, use matte black spray-paint and give your old ones a coat or two. Use a small paintbrush and mod-podge to draw snowflakes (or any other shape you 🖤), sprinkle with gold glitter, and voilà! Things should get better. Be patient, keep your chin up, and get creative—it helps battle the blues.

The recipes are also available on my site, but due to a broken recipe plugin and a chronic procrastinator—yep, referring to me again—they're all messed up and nowhere near shearability. If you do insist on jumping over, you may proceed at your own risk. 😅 For the time being, here's where it's safest:

When it comes to superfood antics, some like kale, When it comes to superfood antics, some like kale, pomegranate, green or matcha teas, nuts, and berries, usually get all of the glory. And yet, more research is uncovering the age-defying, disease-fighting, fat-blasting super-powers of commoner foods you've been likely overlooking. Leeks, carrots, beets, chickpeas, beans, squash, pears (to name but a few) are cheap, quick to prep, unexpectedly tasty, and most are probably already in your kitchen. To make it even easier for you to tap into their head-to-toe benefits, @kouzounaskitchen is hosting a superfood week get-together of foodies (myself included), featuring recipes packed with a wide array of the aforementioned age-erasers!

 🍂🌰🍄 I'm slowly falling into autumn even though Attica's warm weather doesn't really agree. One of my favorite web and graphic design sites @designerblogs is helping set the mood instead. I've been using their blog planner for years—it's one of the best you'll find out there. Its pages will help you brainstorm post ideas, draft your weekly uploads, set monthly and yearly goals, track monthly and yearly and stats, track affiliate links, social media advertising and posts, newsletter campaigns, finances, usernames & passwords, giveaways—you name it! I'll leave the links for both their classic design and this year's limited edition blush-color planners below (copy & paste on desktop), but direct links will also be available for a while @ my linktr.ee (follow the link in bio).
