Its no secret that I love lingerie... You can use it just to feel god about yourself or to your lover!
So what happens when you put lingerie with sexy elements and straps?
You got serious sexy sh**!

Just discovered Toru & Naoko and is super cool. Is sweet yet sexy with a bit of sadomasochist with all that straps, lace and harness. Just love it!

 

Can you have them all?

Recently I discovered that Lisbon, which has the short name LX, has her (yes, Lisbon is a lady) own font. What a joy!
The concept behind this font is based in something very typical of Portugal, especially from Lisbon, the electric cables of the trains. This air cables are very typical of Lisbon.
I remember being a small child and always felt fascinated by this aerial cables as well the rails.
As a child I didn't understood very well and this might works but now that I understand, the childish fascination 'hunts' me.
Visiting the website, you can try this type as LXTYPE as well check where the inspiration came from, who each letter born. Plus! You can download the font for free...

I was also very pleased to find out Lisbon Local Govern support this font.I invite you all to visit the website here: http://lxtype.pt/

Today we celebrate the new Chinese year!
For those who had born at 1979 (this magnificent year!) you are a Goat and this means you are an artist, mothering, pacific and a bit shy but you are also complain, passive and pessimist.
I do not review myself on this negative features, but lets move on!!

Find out which is your chinese sign here: chinesezodiac.com, there are 12 signs and each year is ruled by one single sign. Slice different from the most common occidental zodiac.

OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!
I just love this super skinny black jeans with leather detail.


Levis is one of my favorite brands of all times. I wear jeans all year long and almost in every event.
Don't believe me?
Last September I was part of a group of ladies that host an event about animal welfare. Basically I was the responsible for design/multimedia and this event was a 'little' bit upscale as we invited senators, lawyers, deputies, etc to attend and lecture at this event. Although I was always on the background, time to time, all eyes were on me, because I was filming, photographing, etc.
I wore my skinny black jeans from Levis, sleeveless top from Diesel, black high heels sandals and my favorite statement necklace.

I honestly believe you can wear everything and any event, because what really matters is your attitude, how you feel with your clothing!

But returning to my subject, Levis!
This year, like last year and the other year before, Levis keeps innovating, bringing something new to the table year by year.
A few months back they promote this amazing video about waterless! Jeans made with less or zero water in order to preserve the environment. Brilliant!
I buy Levis almost twice a year and its a very good investment. I still have my Levis after 15 years and they look good. Ok! Its a bit expensive but come on... they last so long! And how they fits you? Amazingly!

In Portugal, Freeport has special sale once or twice a year, and I always take it.
In Portugal, Levis website is not a great thing... only showcase and you can not make any purchase on-line, so I recommend the american website! By the way sign up the newsletter for special offers.

Meanwhile...

Today's post is a mix of recipe and promoting an amazing discover I did of Tupperware.

For those you doesn't know, I'm a huge fan of Tupperware and I believe everything they produce is fantastic although the price may be a little too much, sometimes.
Luckily, the mother of one of my college is a reseller! So sometimes he brings me the catalog and I buy some cools stuff on sale.

Now, I got the fantastic, amazing Robot Extra Chef with 50% (!!) off price.
Before we get into it, please watch the video...

Now, probably you started to think exactly I though after seeing: "Hum, this might not work as great they are showing here!"
Even questioning myself, I bought it.
Soon as arrived home, went ahead to the kitchen to test this robot, first with few things, only garlic and onions. On the first push, I was totally WOW... nothing more was needed and I had one onion and some garlic totally cut. And the best of all, is ecologic, you don't waste electricity. And is supper cool :D

On my second experience, I push this robot a bit more to the limits, so I decided to used both functionalities; the cutter and the mixer.

For the quiche, put all this together in the robot:
- piece of roasted chicken breast (from another meal);
- one big onion;
- half of red pepper;
- 3 big white mushrooms;
- one portobelo mushroom;
- fresh spinaches.

And I chopped all at once. Push the handler 3 times and everything! Uipi!!


In the quiche mold I already had the bacon slices and broccoli, to which I mixed the rest.
After that I prepared the filling with soja cream and a cup of milk and put this in the unclean robot. Another pull and the cream and milk was mixed together. What a thrill!

Everything went to the mold and voilà! More less 20 minutes and I had my quiche ready and my all house smell so good.



As I used the woven, I decided to take it and cook more stuff, so put 2 big pieces of cod fish in a woven plate with broccoli and onion and the rest of the pasta from the quiche I made twisters with salt and chive.
How?
With a help of a cooking brush, I put some olive oil on the top of each slice of pasta followed by salt and chive. 5 minutes and they are ready. Tip, they are a excellent starter at dinner with friends.


By the way, I know this pictures are not the best, but come on... Who has time to make glamourous pictures after a busy day at work? I don’t, unfortunately, and my time is very limited.
Believe me, even without the glamour, all was delicious!

P.S. If you want to get any of Tupperware  products but don't find it on website, you may email me and I will give the lady contact from who I get my products.

Who said without boyfriend you may not received good stuff? And a very good one!!
A college worker of mine offered (to a small group of friends) this heart cake... Grazie!!

Just a few days to Valentin's Day and I already fell the romance on the air...
Dozens of emails from several brands and shops where I sing up started to promote extra sale to commemorate this day and I already fell sick!
Yes, indeed, sick!

Last night I thought to myself how people manage to make other to love them? Not that I think this is negative but personally I do not know how to do this!
I can't make any relationship last more than a month for the past 6 years and every year people ask me: "Where to you will go with your boyfriend? Oh you don't have a boyfriend?" and I get those surprised expressions like its mandatory to a boyfriend at least on Valentin's Day!

Well, I don't have a boyfriend and, as I said before, I do not know how to make others to love me, to make them emotionally depending on me. This is me being tremendously honest...
Maybe is because I'm kind of a shy girl, I don't allow people to know me in the beginning, I'm a very independent woman, I don't ask or give explanations of anything. Maybe, men may feel threatened by all this, and I may became 'persona non-grata' to date.
Because I do not make a scene when they look at other girls, when men make a scene and decided to go home (oh baby, go and do not return and forget my number), because I do not tolerate when we have a date and they are late hours, because I find more important and unexpected gesture of love than some planned one... oh my!

So the past few years, around this date I feel physically sick about Valentin's day. Refuse to go out, go shopping around 'this so important date' because all you can we is couples showing their true love. I'm glad they do it, but I don't need to see it.

This year I may offer to myself a good hour at my masseuse, because (L'Oreal knows it better) I deserve it!

For (almost) two weeks in a row, I have been painting my house everyday in the end of the day!
I have 2 bedrooms, entrance, living room and kitchen ceiling to paint and surprisingly I only had paint the wall of the fireplace and the entrance is half way...

Being single is more complicated than must people would guess... besides all not so funny questions everyone ask about your maternity clock, about your future wedding and husband that does not exist, you have to do everything by yourself. Like for example, painting your house!

I never realized how much work it takes... I already had painted wall before but this time seems to me its taking to long that I excepted.

After all this time, I admit, I'm tired! And even more tired I get everytime I look around my house and see what still missing, which is a lot. When I look around, specially my entrance that the former owners painted with vivid yellow and so badly painted that I will need to stretch ink from the floor and other places, not walls, they painted... I get extremely tired.... even before I started...

But, part of me, is very pleased! My house is getting there and even I know is missing so much stuff that I had dreamed, I know I working on it, with baby steps, not spending more that I can, and frankly I have time so I will do it slowly.
