Blueberry Cupcakes

I was looking forward to stay home and relax this weekend, so my plans are to bake and watch the complete second season of Gossip Girl. Today I was feeling like baking, so I settled for muffins, blueberry muffins! I think they are my first muffins ever, so I guess they turned out okay! J

Sparkling Hot Pink

Lately I’ve been hooked by sparkling nail polishes. I think that they can be used in so many ways, depending on the outfit that you’re wearing and the effect that you want to make. These nail polishes can be mixed with any color, and they will look just fabulous!

Here’s my combination:

End result.

Twilight Leather

 I realized I haven’t done something big and nice with my hair for quite some time now. Sometimes we need special events or reasons to dress up very nice. Well today it was one of “those” days. I decided I was going to dress up with a nice hair and make up for the greatest reasons of all: for my niece’s christening and even more because I am now her godmother!

Chocolate + Fashion

When I was younger and not long ago I hated the kitchen and everything that had to do with cooking, except for baking. Lately I’ve been cooking and baking more often stuff that I really like, “googoling” and researching recipes online and buying cooking books. Yesterday for example I was baking chocolate chunk cookies, and let me tell you that I find it really calming when I prepare something with love and because I want to, it adds it that special something and you feel very good when you see the results.

These are some of the new additions to my wardrobe that I’m in love with.

Steamed Hips with Pasta Alfredo

Since yesterday’s weather was very cloudy and rainy, I realized it was a perfect occasion for a home cooked dinner. I decided to make steamed hips with carrots, onions and peppers sided by pasta alfredo with broccoli and bread toasts. This was my very first attempt at cooking this recipe and it turned out very good. There’s no better feeling than sharing a lovely evening with your family.

End result.
