HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

Dear readers, we are heading toward the end of another year and I want to use this last post to do a - very briefly - recap and thank you!
My posts have not been as steady and they used to be, but this is happening for several good reasons: new achievements, projects, travels, discoveries, friends, routine and celebrations. That's good, right? Of course I had my moments of sadness and disappointment, but nothing that compares to the joys of my life!

I'll come back next year with lots of new things to share with you. Thank you for being along with me on this ride and being part of my life.

Closing this post with a picture of me, but not because I'm narcissist (as you can see, this is not my best shot, not even the best angle ...), but to show you how I try to live most of my days and how life, despite all the bad things that surround us, should be lived: LOL! I do recommend!

I wish you all a 2013 filled with peace, health and joy! xoxo

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Today the blog turns 1! Thanks to all of you who follow the blog, leave comments, suggestions, send me emails and spread the word - and the tips - to friends. I'm having a blast sharing my experiences here and I do hope they change your day a little bit, simply by bringing you a smile, a good idea, or delicious food ...

I can't wait for one more year (at least!)

Away...

Dear readers, I'm finishing packing to travel tomorrow, and unfortunately I'll not be able to update the blog while I'm away. But I'll be back in two weeks with many hot tips to post here. See you!

Good news!

Today, in addition to celebrate post number 200 (yeap!!) I finished translating my blog. In case you don't know, I had started writing my blog in Portuguese, but since I have many American and Spanish friends, I decided to write it also in English, so they would be able to enjoy the blog as well. Now both versions are completed and I'm very happy! In case you want to check out the original version, just click on the link Versão em Português, located on the upper right corner. Tell your friends!!

PS: for breakfast this morning I made the sweet quinoa again but this time with red quinoa (until then I had only used the white one) and, in addition to the ingredients I used the first time, I added grated coconut. Hmm .. I'm sure this recipe will be repeated over and over and over again!

News!!

As I said earlier here, I'm in a constantly search to improve the blog in order to make it more interesting and enjoyable for you, my readers. This time, I have three new features:

1 - you can receive the posts in your email simply by writing your email address in the "Receive posts by email" (upper right side of the screen). After registration, you will receive a confirmation email. Just click on the link and voilá. It's done!

2 - check out the delicious recipes I prepare and post here on the blog by clicking on the image "Recipes".

3 - for a more specific search, on the bottom right side of the screen, there is "Search this blog." Simply write down the word and all the posts related to that word will show up.

I hope you have fun with these new features and stay tuned because much more is still to come!

Good week everyone!

New look!

As you can see, the blog has a new look! I am very excited because every day I'm learning a little more about how to edit it and how to make a better use of its tools.
I'm also working on otras cositas (other things) that will be coming very soon!
I hope you enjoy it!

Cheers!

This week, Cheers! has a special meaning to me: yesterday I published the hundredth post, and the blog is already 3 months old! Yay!
To celebrate, here's the recipe for a drink that I love: Margarita
40ml tequila
20ml triple sec (orange liqueur)
10ml lemon juice
ice cubes
salt
Pour all ingredients in a shaker, shake it well, strain and pour into a margarita glass with salt on the glass him (rub the rim of the glass with a lemon slice so the salt can stick to it)

Salud! Deseo a todos un buen fin de semana!! (Cheers! I wish you a great weekend!)

Welcome!

Today is a very happy day for me because after a lot of time thinking about how to share some of my experiences with others, I decided to create this blog. I'll share here pictures; books, music and movies suggestions; places to visit and many other good things that I hope might be useful in some way for those who follow me! Welcome and let this be the beginning of new and positive experience for everyone involved in this new project!
