New Chapter

Three days ago I moved to Brighton. A fresh start. That doesn't mean that I've changed my name and act like a different person. I just want to be me. As corny as that sounds, it's a feeling that I constantly had to suppress in Mallorca(home). Every time I walked out of the door I had to reconsider what I was wearing 4 times. Here, no one care. I love it. 

I've come here on a mission. To embrace who I am and what I stand for, in a small harmless way of course. But it really is my time to live life, how I always imagined it to be. Music is my main focus here and want to indulge myself in everything creative. I'm scared since everything is completely new, its a learning process, a positive one.

September 11th

On this very day exactly 14 years ago, the 'terrorist attack' happened. I really dislike using the term 'terrorist' because it usually generalises and narrows it down to a muslim tall dark bearded man. It really aggravates me when people generalise nationality,beliefs, race, because we are all different. 

My aunt was in manhattan on this very day since she worked there. She was on her way to work but luckily she was taking the subway and it saved her life. The way she describes it is that she just suddenly felt everything shake, a big bang. She first thought that it was an earthquake.  People started to panic. My grandmother who lives in Paris, saw this happening on her TV and she didn't know if her daughter was alive. Can you imagine, watching this catastrophe happen and to know that maybe your daughter could be victimised. 

Who I think was guilty? 

I honestly don't know, there are so many conspiracies out there. At this point I really don't trust anyone. Sometimes I ask myself If it was the US government that arranged this to make the islamic community the enemy.

Guilt Free Pizza

I think we can all say that we have been there, craved a pizza. One of the cravings that I just cant resist and end up giving in and eating a fatty big cheesy pizza. And hey once in a while its a necessity to just indulge but then other times when you have been working so hard and eating well to throw all that hard work out for a pizza is unnecessary.

So here it is. The cauliflower pizza. And by no means does it taste the exact same to the original pizza, but its close enough to hit the spot.

Ingredients:

1 cauliflower

2 eggs

Toppings:

Tomato sauce

Buffalo Mozzarella 

Basil

How to: 

Thoroughly wash the cauliflower, and chop up into small pieces. 

Blend in food blender. Once left with a smooth mass, put into tea towel and squeeze out excess water out. 

Add your 2 eggs to the blended dry cauliflower and mix.

Place the mixture on your baking paper  into a thin round pizza form( the thinner the better).

Cook in preheated oven at 200C for 15 minutes once the base is light brown. 

Take out of oven to place toppings and pop it back into the over for another 15 minutes. 

DONE.

The 3 Benefits Of Having An Older Brother

What's up to the four people that might read this?!(one of them being me) 

I have an older brother, he is a total of three years older than me. We've definitely have had our up and down moments, especially when we were kids. We have grown up a little since.

We are the big yet small numbers of 18 & 21.  The peek age of the teenage years and the early twenties as they would like to call it. By 'they' I mean society. Here you are probably wondering, when the hell is she going to get to the point. AHA right now.

1. He will get the blame

I know what you're thinking, I'm evil. But as a child this strategy was the best! We always fought. I'm not exaggerating. Literally ALWAYS. Not just a bit of hair tugging and a few pinches here and there. I'm talking biting, punching, kicking, throwing, pushing, pulling, hitting, scratching...okay you get the point. We loved each other.  But as he is the older sibling and the boy he was the one to take the blame for both of our actions. Even though most of the times it was him that provoked me since back then iphone's did not exist and we had nothing else to do with our lives.

2.If you only knew what his friends looked like 

Yes girls, I had the odd billion crushes on my brothers friends. You can't blame me. I didn't have much else to think about at that age than how I should name my children, who will be invited to the wedding and how practical it is that my brother is already good friends with my 'future husband'.

3. He's the guinea pig  

Sometimes it is scary going into something that you don't know what to expect. Me on the other hand, I know what to expect since my brother has done it before me. Driving license, university, exams, partying.

So therefore bro, thank you. If you ever happen to read this obviously there are way more factors of how great it is to have you as a brother tehehe

Skin Routine

My skin routine has never really been a priority for me however over the past few months my skin had gotten really bad(for my standards) and I was just sick of it. So I stumbled across The Body Shop and splurged on some foam face wash which entails tea tree oil. Tea tree oil act as an antibacterial and cicatrisant substance that can help reduce blemishes and breakouts.  

I use this in the morning and evening, and let my skin absorb it for a minute and then wash it off with warm water.  Before that I take off my makeup with the makeup remover from lush with a few oval cotton pads. This is very smooth on my skin compared to makeup remover wipes. 

But yes, I realise there are many great products out there however I find it tricky finding NON ANIMAL tested products out there for an affordable price.  At some point in my life I would love to start my own skincare line that is affordable, organic, paraben free and not animal tested.

An Untold Secret

I have been fascinated all things to do with interior design.
My ultimate dream is to raise my kids (and animals) in a house that I have fully designed on my own. I love the unexpected combinations of materials and patterns.  I could imagine having a house by the beach while the surround sound system plays eloquent jazz music, meanwhile I prepare a meal from the Martha Stewart cookbook for my family.

To find more of my inspiration, I have a whole pintrest album dedicated to this. (DREAM HOUSE)
