Croissants & Seashells

Some friends come and go, others stay forever. 

I'm celebrating 10 years of friendship with this girl. Her name is Diana and we met during first year of college (2004). We clicked from day #1. We share the same passion for fashion and travel. I remember we used to skip class because we couldn't resist the temptation to go grab a strawberry/banana/yogurt/granola/honey bowl, which was sold in the campus for $5.00. I visited her in the weekend and since we still like sweet treats, she made banana/nutella pancakes.

We are wearing handmade skirts from KRMA Designs, paired with Converse sneakers. We wanted to look different and stylish, but comfortable. How fun and sweet are these prints?!

Recipe: Yogurt & Nutella Lasagna

I'm not the best cook.  I remember when I was in high school and was a huge fan of Food Network channel.  My favorites were Emeryl and Giada.  Even though I have tried a few simple recipes with not so good results and failed miserably, I wanted to become a chef.  I even went to visit a local college specialized in culinary arts with a group of aspiring chefs from my high-school.  They teached us how to make pastries and creme brulee.  That afternoon I went home really excited about trying, at least, the creme brulee recipe.  I did everything in the directions (I thought so), and when I get the thing out of the oven it was just a baked egg inside a cup.  That was when I decided to study something else, not born for this!

Some weeks ago I tried to do a simple recipe for dessert.  I'm a Nutella and yogurt lover.  Here's a light/quick/easy/yummy/healthy dessert if you are as bad in the kitchen as me...

You'll need:

1. Nutella

2. Greek Vanilla Yogurt

3. Strawberry Topping

4. Loose Granola

 Inside a glass, using the same order above, make layers of each ingredient.

VOILA!

What was your favorite dessert this summer?

Healthy inside, pretty outside

   First of all, I want to apologize for the lack of activity lately in my blog.  I've been such a bad blogger.  Last week I was so busy with other stuff and projects, plus I started to do some workout and that's costing me time in front of the monitor and keyboard.  My workout routine?  Cardio, belly dance, squats, sit ups, 2lb weight light trainings and a some basic yoga.  

 Since I turned 25 years old I'm more concerned about the things I do with my body and what do I eat.  As you know, I also work at Jenny Craig, where everybody is so interested in being healthy and eat well.  Months ago I received some green tea samples in my Birchbox.  I loved it and I actually felt more active and clean inside.  Do you like green teas?  Can you suggest some good brand?  As fashion/beauty bloggers, it is very important to take care of our bodies so we can feel pretty inside out.  Sometimes external issues with your appearance has to do with how you eat and how you take care of your body.

 What you do to be in shape and feel healthy?

Ps. How was Mother's Day?
Mine was full of love, good food and laziness with my mommy.  We watched "Breakfast at Tiffany s" and ate home-make raviolis.

Live TODAY.
