Stir-fry Chayote with Seasonings and Shredded Coconut by @nurfay

That looks like a very tasty dish! I know that coconut gives a sweet savour, but I suppose with added salt, the dish gets a different flavour... So, is it sweet or is it salty? 😃 Or both?
Thanks for sharing the recipe!

A STORY I KNOW TOO WELL by @cious

We are living in strange times... With the Internet, we are connected more than ever with all of our friends all around the globe, yet it looks like we are losing our social skills and support from the closest ones...
And regarding quitting, it happened many times for me too... Usually, the success is waiting behind the last curve, when we are at the end of our strength!

The Brown Wannabe Monarch | Mixed Media Project by @justclickindiva

I didn’t know the significance of brown butterflies, but I love butterflies; they symbolise change and transformation, and that’s very important in life. When butterflies appear to us, they have something to tell us, and if a brown one appears to me, which isn’t common, I’ll bear that in mind. Colours also have their own meanings, and combining the two is interesting.
Your design makes me think of movement; there’s a lot of it in the image, the fluttering of the butterfly and its journey through life. I also love working with feminine imagery, perhaps because part of me is in the design.

Weekend experience: Right now I'd prefer an intimate wedding, even though it's not easy in Italy! by @noemilunastorta

I love that you had an original, unconventional wedding that reflects your own personality and is special, because that’s exactly how it should be for the two of you. It’s true that you often can’t opt for a small affair if you have a large family, but as you say, it’s not just the financial aspect or problem, but also the stress that having lots of people causes.
You look lovely in the photos; you broke with tradition and I agree with you, I prefer an intimate wedding, with just a few people, quality over quantity.

Sublime and Beautiful Sunday Signs of spring by the pond by @tattoodjay

There is so much beauty in spring, evident in the landscape, the colours and the birds. Those lovely little ducklings are proof of that. And although the weather was only nice for a short while, you managed to make the most of it. You have to be careful on cold days, but also when it rains. Spring days can be a bit of a mixed bag.
I hope there will soon be more lovely days and many more walks through those enchanting natural spots. I loved both the ducks and the reflections on the pond.

DIY! The Freak Circus: The silent yandere character Pierrot made with foam clay (Tutorial). [ENG] [ESP] by @ibarra95

• Clowns have always had stories behind them, dark stories, especially when they’re part of a circus. The character is really good; even though I’m not familiar with the video game, I feel like I’ve seen him before in a cartoon somewhere. Everything about him is interesting, from his face to the colours used in his design.
  I must say that your character looks a bit sweeter than the real one, but he could change at any moment, you know what clowns are like. You’ve done an excellent step-by-step guide in the photos and the end result is brilliant, as if you could have a whole collection of characters. You’re always so good at craftwork.*
