If you have been paying attention to this blog, you will noticed the last post here about "One on Friday" have been about ceramics. Read the other posts here and here.
True to be told, I'm a bit obsessed with ceramic, so much that I'm thinking about taking some course or do a workshop about it.

Anna Westerlund was one of my recent discoveries of ceramic artists. Her work seams to be very experimental however you can see has very careful details, ethnic raw details.

You may have notice lately I have been posting about ceramics :)
If you didn't notice, you might have miss the post about Midori Takaki (Link).

Well, today is about Círculo Ceramics, of artist Margarida.
Her work is very experimental, neutral palette and shapes that reminds me a prehistorical ceramic. I like it a lot!

Every year, Pirelli has a calendar! Every year, that calendar was full of beautiful, sexy  and unreal women.
This year, that same calendar has real women. Women with wrinkles, with that extra belly, without super sexy and tight clothing.
No! This are the real women, with faults which most of the women can relate to.

Beside that, the photographer is the magnificent Annie Leibovitz, so you know it will be good!
Watch the video.

Did you knew that Sata has one airplane decorated with cachalot image? I didn't knew until a couple of days ago... Its so cute, and apparently the image is in real size, so you can imagine how big the animal actually is.

I found he idea amazing, an glorify Azores, Sata itself and of course, the cachalot.
Congratulations to Sata for this idea!

For those who knows me well, will know I like to save and I'm a bit cheap!
I don't like to spend money just to spend it, I always have this conversation with myself if I really need it, if I may found something like that cheaper, etc

The fact that I live with a budget doesn't mean I don't live my life well or don't make the best of it. Not at all! In fact means that I redirect my money to do things I really want, like traveling, tattooing, etc. I don't waste my money!

So you may imagine that on my daily life, I'm a person very conscious about wastes, energetic wastes. With this, recently I received an email from EDP with videos and tips how to reduce waste. And I did learn something!

I share with you some videos.







I can got to this website http://energia.edp.pt/casamaiseficiente/ and watch all the videos and tips who to save energy or even to participate on the EDP and who knows win some prizes.

And save energy!The planet and next generations will appreciate.
And enjoy the rest of your day!

Are you skin sensitive? 
The global warming and weather changes are not a peace of mind for you? 
Yes? So this new is for you! 
Netatmo is a weather related gadgets maker, and now it launched their first wearable gadget, June.
June works with an iPhone app and basically it's your skin/sun exposure advisor. It tells you if you need to go to the shades, for example.
June is available in gold, platinum or gunmetal. Although I find it a bit pricey.

Alex Palazzi is a graphic designer based in Barcelona (Spain) and is passionated about his work. And we thank him for that! This work is about ice-cream and candy and is very interesting
We like it and we advice you to take a look to his behance page here.

Gumelo! Gumelo is part of the word mushroom in portuguese.
The idea of having your own plants at home was taken to another level, with Gumelo. This brand wants us to grow our own mushroom at home with just 2 minutes a day of attention.
Well the idea of having mushrooms at home its not new but having citrus or pink mushrooms yes, that is new!
In only two weeks and some water, the mushrooms will grow from coffee sediments!!
The price is quite acceptable and after the first harvest, another may growth if you keep cultivate it.
I love specially the pink ones! After today they are available on their shop: www.gumelo.com


I like the idea of making black linguine with this pink mushroom... the visual effects are very pleasant in my mind.

Today is Easter Friday and I took the opportunity to enjoy a couple of days off work and since monday I'm on holidays!
Regardless everybody asked me where I was going, thinking I would enjoy a few days off country, I did not!

For only 3 days of holidays plus weekend and bank holiday, I decided to stay at home, simply relax, enjoy my house, my dog and cats, finish my foot tattoo and take care of myself! I even bought flowers for my house.
I also decided to take into my house a new dog! Bia.


She is my foster care for the next couple of weeks and hopefully she may recovered from her illness and find a forever home pretty soon.

As you may know, I'm a volunteer at local animal charity, Bianca, and Bia was abandoned a few months early and since she's at the shelter her health became weak. Her skin is very damaged, dry and lack of fur. She easily have wounds out of the blue that infect and so far all blood tests came negative, so this may be a result of stress.

I'm a very calm and patiente person and my dog is the best in the world! He allows other animals in my house without problem and is a patiente dog as well a good rol model.
Hopefully Bia will became more relax and improve her helath condition. This is why I took her into my house.

I spent the last days enjoying my free time, having lunch in Sesimbra right in front of the beach, walking around in Castle of Sesimbra, Cape of Espichel and I also went to Lisbon for a concert, which I will talk about it in another post, very soon.

Here its some pictures of my last days :)

 
 

 
 




I still have more 2 days off but apparentely the weather will not invite us to go out, sadly!
Kisses and happy easter to everyone!!
