My trip to Poland: Photos & Story telling




Dear friends, 

my trip to Poland was honestly an unforgettable experience,

that you only live once in a lifetime!




View from my room window



A walking path...



By the lake...



A flower garden, at the hotel






Cooking class


The making of traditional Polish "pierogi" 
(dumplings with mushroom/ lamb/ pork.)





At the museum of Easter painted eggs, in Lipsk.




Local ladies in their traditional clothes, 
explained to us that  eggs come in various sizes 
and each egg carries a unique design.

Eggs are first cleaned from the inside 
(the yolk is removed through a small hole 
& then, they are washed with soap and water)

Afterwards, flower designs are made on the eggs
with a special tool,
 which is dipped in wax.





Polish traditional wedding cake, made with holy water & prayer!


On the top, the cake is decorated
with small birds,
which symbolize the young bride.



At the traditional food festival, in Kurianka...





Local ladies getting ready to sing traditional songs



"Sekacz" traditional cake is being cooked, around the fire.



It took 30 eggs and 1½hours of cooking! 



The food experience was rich!


I tasted a traditional dish, which involved boiled potatoes 
stuffed with pork minced meat.
I also had some beetroot soup, which was like drinking punch!



   Around the picnic fire, we got to cook sausages 
& dance! 
              




Milking the cow, for the first time in my life :) 




The Camaldolese monastery, at Wigry, & watchtower.




Having a gondola trip... 

Moments of great relaxation!








At the salt cave, enjoying a SPA experience!



Last night out... Drinking "tequila sunrise!"



-IT WAS A WONDERFUL TRIP, I'LL NEVER FORGET-

My summer lookbook: Outfit & Hairstyle suggestion, for a formal event!





Hey, loves!



If you are attending
a (semi) formal event, 
why don't you try on               
a maxi polyester dress, 
with colorful details?
Combine the dress with a pair 
of modern platform shoes &
complete the look with accessories 
of your choice :) 
Try also the ballerinas' hair look & secure hair with a fake hair bun!





Love you guys,

Traditional Food Photo Event


Lately, I've been in a traditional food photo exhibition.

Seasonal, festive, and daily foods were displayed on the wall
(e.g. black eye beans with summer crookneck squash, 
Easter cheese pies, or 
rusks with local coffee, for the afternoon brake) 
Every photo also came with a personal story telling.

The event involved two speeches: 
The first underlined the necessity to retain our food heritage, not only through bibliography, but through practicing the recipe itself. To achieve that, devoting time and having a firm willingness to learn is what it takes. 
The second speech called the audience to see some more photos and try to guess the name of the food, its origin, its ingredients, its story.

I'm looking forward to live this experience again. It's a great opportunity to meet with people from various villages, talk with them, and find more about my tradition!

More food for thought:
-How familiar are you with the food tradition of your home country? Do you read or watch TV programs about your local cuisine? 
-What's your favorite traditional meal?



June Faves & DIY ideas!

Hi, beautiful people!
How were your summer days, so far?
Hope they're cool, creative & colorful!
So, are you ready to go through my summer necessaries!?
What are you waiting for?
Here are the photos of my recent favorites!




1. An eye shadow palette, in nude-colors.

2. Sun protection powder foundation, with SPF 30.

3. Metal bracelets, in modern summer designs.

4. A nice watch, with white leather straps.




A unique DIY idea, for decorating your makeup table!

This is actually a picture frame, which I turned into a bracelet holder.

 For bracelets, which don't  have a clasp, I used a gold ribbon to hang them.


That's all for now!

Many happy summer moments, sweethearts!

Take care and see you, soon!
