Since I opened my eyes this morning I’ve been feeling an irresistible desire to travel, to wander the streets of unknown places until I don’t feel my legs, to photograph interesting buildings and passersby, to find on every hill a perfect spot overlooking the city and to taste the most famous sweets of every place I visit. The one who travels is happy, the one who visits different continents, Machu Picchu, the one who surfed in Australia, visited the pyramids in Egypt, dived in Bali, drank coffee in Italy and spent a day in Manhattan. That person is happy and rich. Travelling gets us…
Today I went back to Amsterdam. I’m so in love with that city that I often return there and wander its streets in my thoughts. I watch the buildings and I get transported to XVII century Amsterdam, I’m trying to imagine how it looked like back then while I’m trying to avoid the cyclists who are coming towards me without any intention to slow down. And then, when I get tired of wandering the streets, I go to a small vegan café with a huge shop window that overlooks the canal and I enjoy a huge piece of vegan Snickers cake. Mmm, what a…
Happy Easter! Time flies so fast and Easter is already here although it seems like Christmas was only yesterday. Like during Christmas, everything is full of decoration, just this time with Easter decoration like yellow chicks, Easter bunnies and chocolate eggs that I just couldn’t resist and had to buy some of it for my home. I bought some decorations for the eggs that look like different animals and you just have to stick animals’ ears, nose and eyes to the eggs. Pretty childish, I know, but the eggs look so sweet, as you can see in the photo below. I have to admit this was the…
Do you know what snow smells like? No, it’s not just the smell, it is a mixture of scents, colors and a special holiday mood when it looks like you are magically transferred to one of the typical villages from Christmas cards. It smells like snow when it’s so cold outside that everyone is in a hurry to get home, when it smells like wood in the fireplace and when decorated Christmas trees greet us from the balconies. The smell of snow for me is the smell of happiness and childhood, it makes me nostalgic and I start thinking of a far away town and…
Did you notice how, as we approach Christmas and New Year’s Eve, all brands start their marketing campaigns to make us shop more and buy our presents exclusively in their shops. Everywhere we look we see glittery decorated shop windows, full of shiny things and pralinés boxes. For some people, December is one of the most beautiful months; everything is shining in a new way, people are nicer and happier because of the upcoming holidays and time they are going to spend with their families. On the other hand, this is a stressful period for some, as, due to long working…
In Spain, the 6th and the 8th of December are public holidays so this entire week was pretty strange. I worked on Monday, had a day off on Tuesday, worked on Wednesday and again had a day off on Thursday. Today I’m working again and then it’s weekend. If it were for me, I could work like this every week. I think everyone would be more productive if they worked less, and had more time for themselves and their families. Stress would be reduced and everyone would be happier… I love December in Barcelona. The maximum temperature is around 15 degrees, the sky is cloudless and in the Sun…
Hey guys! How are you today? Fine, I hope! There have recently been some changes in my life so I’m a bit overwhelmed by everything. I’ve just started a new job and my feelings about it are still a bit mixed up. It’s kind of a job I would normally never apply for but…There is always a but. I saw the most adorable bag and I needed money to buy it, so I went to the interview and got the job. I have the craziest stories and reasons to do things, I know. So now, after this crazy week of training at…
I didn’t have anything sweet at home today, which is pretty strange for me. I always have something in my kitchen cabinets or in my fridge. Actually, I had a date spread I made couple of days ago and I had bananas I bought yesterday. I was thinking: “What can I make with a date spread and bananas?” And…Bingo! Healthy snickers bites! Sounds so delicious, and believe me – It is! There is something about that combination of banana, date spread, peanuts and chocolate that I love! These bites are practically irresistible. I just whatsapped my husband, sent him a picture of…
Summer is almost over and it makes me a little bit sad. Weekends at the beach, swimming and sunbathing will soon be over. But, it also makes me happy as autumn is a kind of a new start, a starting point to change your life, to start jogging, find a new job or spend an entire day under a blanket watching TV, and drinking hot chocolate when it’s raining outside. Before summer officially ends, I want to enjoy it just a little bit more, to spend some more time at the beach and enjoy sunrays on my skin. In my mind,…
I used to adore cow milk and I was able to drink up to 1l a day. Every single day. It usually wasn’t milk alone in my cup, but small amount of filter coffee mixed with huge amounts of milk. Very similar to Starbucks coffee, which I like very much, even though many people think of it as overrated, unhealthy and overpriced. I agree they can put various unhealthy additions such as different syrups and artificial flavors, and this way Starbucks coffee easily reaches the amount of calories of a whole meal. But, you can always opt for simple Caffe Latte, consisting…
