New Year Resolution

I believe that it is in our power to make our lives better, but we need to work for it and be persistent. One way to build a strong mindset is by asserting positive thoughts on a daily basis. To start with a good attitude every morning, I have added motivational notes on my calendar which remind me to think positive when I wake up. So when the alarm starts, I get an inspirational message on my phone screen and it makes it difficult to snooze after seeing it.

What Christmas is all about

Where I come from, Christmas is about being a better person, giving joy, sharing. And about food. A lot of food! 🙂

Summertime

I am waiting for it 8 months, every year. It is finally here and I know most people agree with me when I say that summer is our favorite season. Why do we love it to the bones? Literally ‘to the bones’, as sunlight exposure boosts the production of Vitamin D, which is essential to bones health.

Tales from Wonderland

I’ve watched Alice Through the Looking Glass in the weekend and I have to tell you that it’s an amazing movie. Even better if you go for the 4DX experience! It made me remember Lewis Carroll’s books with joy, so my post today is dedicated to Alice.

Cat superpowers

There is nothing like cats and I cannot imagine life without them in it. They were a symbol of divinity in ancient Egypt and have been both worshiped and feared throughout the ages for being magical. Nowadays around 37% of American homes are run by cats. Cats could definitely rule the world with their unique skills and fantastic powers simple mortals can only dream of.

Vitamin C(ool)

C FOR COLLAGEN

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient for humans, very important to many functions in the body. And, because this important vitamin is water soluble – meaning that it is not stored by the body, but filtered out – it is important to get it daily. Why?

Breakfast of Champions

If there is a taste I associate with my boyfriend, it would be a silky smooth and subtle smokey flavor. Blended with pouched eggs and Hollandaise sauce 🙂 Ok, I agree that it might sound weird, but I am actually talking about the taste of Eggs Benedict Royale, as this is his favorite breakfast food. And now mine also, since I became a pescetarian.

As ‘giving up’ hamburgers was a very difficult process, I’ve been trying to find a substitute for them, and Eggs Benedict Royale is the best alternative in my opinion. This is the reason why I made a true passion for this dish, so let’s see what makes it so special.
