Ok!
Tomorrow starts my vacation time!
I am going home! (well, not really, I am home, but I am also going back home! It is so nice to have two homes!)
Now I just need to push everything inside my suitcase and relax for three weeks!
See my family, friends and have an amazing second time wedding + full party and of course! The honey-moon! :-D
I'll probably not be blogging around much... so, for my lovely readers!

insects!

As you, my oldest followers, know very well... I HATE insects!!!

Which is a pain, cause there is no summer without them!

This year I made a huge effort to pass the summer without touching on the subject of insects!

I've ignored the countless times they went into my eyes, fell from the wet trees on my head, buzzed around me and disturbed my outdoor time!

But today I had enough! :-O

It is kind of impossible, without airco, to not open the windows, and windows open are like an invitation...

Today I had wasps, flies and bees buzzing around the house... and weird unidentified black-like-wasp insects stalking me!

So I need to put it out! I HATE insects...

So... phew! There it is! :-D

Now I can stay a few more posts without complaining about those BUGS...

But don't get too comfy... as on thursday I am leaving to Brazil, where is always summer, and we always have insects.... and spend my honey-moon in a lovely cozy hotel inside a forestal reserve! ;-)

'till next complain,

I just saw this easy chart at Coco's tea party!
So I've decided to make the test and the results are:

When I am on the small side I got Emporio Armani (which in fact matches most f my hats!)
And when not, I got Erin Fetherston (which match my bands!)

And you?
What is your taste?

Spa!

Well, as posted yesterday... I had my birthday! :-) and today I got my treat... I am on a spa! :-)

This place is AMAZING!!!

SENTO: spa and health club

I've got a relax-massage and a hidro-massage! Between juices and teas I also enjoyed the jacuzzi and sauna! I feel like I was born again!!! Hahahahahaha

Well, now I need to get ready for a romantic dinner with my lovely husband, who found this paradise for me! :-D

Wishing u all a great weekend!

Running

Today I've started running! (as you can see on the sidebar advertised by my nike+ mini ;-) )

My parents in law gave me this nike+ chip (attached to my running shoes on the above pic), which register how long and how fast have you been running, and it synchronize with your ipod! And post on a workout log your progress!

You also can have a power song to cheer u up ;-) and get a virtual trainer, which will make training programs for you!

As of today, I just started my walk to run training, which will take 12weeks ;-)

Check out the site (and my progress) ;-)
Have a nice end of sunday and a great week all!

in love with etsy

Hello darlings and dears...

I've been away from my blog, and missing it a lot... So I've decided put my personal and working issues aside and stop by to share with you my new passion!

ETSY!

Two weeks ago I made my first purchase (the two hair bands on the above picture... I promise later on I will share a pic of me with them on ;-) ) and tonight I just order those very nice earrings!!! It was love at first sight!!! Can't wait till they arrive! :-D

Well, if you have time, stop by Linkel Designs... she has amazing, stunning jews!

And also give a look at the byme gallery... she has other very nice hair things around there.

Wishing all a nice weekend!

I want for me!

I found those two nice rooms on Absolutely Beautiful Things (which btw, you should take a look! I absolutely love her blog! and if one day I am ever in Australia I definitely going to pay a visit to her store...)

Anyhow, I fell in love with those rooms, and the day I get my own house, those will come as inspiration!

First the bedroom, I kind of love this bed!!! So I completely fell in love with everything around it!

And then the kitchen! I am dreaming about a round table on my kitchen... and just like this, close to shelf like this, to display our nice kitchen utensils!!! (and if I am luck enough, I might have a window close by the table! :-) )

And you? What is your dream room?

Night Chocolate!

Good Night!

Working at home

Last night I didn't sleep very well, and as a result of it, I woke, and spent the whole day, with a tension headache...

So, to not make my monday even worse I worked from home!
First I did some yoga and "meditation" and then curled up on the sofa with my laptop, the stupid code I am trying to run, a paper and loads of tea!

And so my monday wasn't as gray as I was afraid of! :-)

Hope you all had a good start of week!

Body Paint

I friend came over with this task of flower body painting him!
So I did it! ;-)
I am much into flower drawing lately, so I had some fun painting... I am even thinking about painting!
Don't get to excited... Is not professional drawing, but I have a fun and they look cute!
I promise to post some of my drawings one day... for now, enjoy my first body paint!
:-)

Down...

Today I feel a sadness inside me :-(

Sometimes life is rough... work is hard... and *saudades* hit strong!

Maybe is time for a break...

But, before I take a walk... I thought leave those very nice pics I found at etsy today!

They are made by TheNebulousKingdon and are GORGEOUS!!!

Don't you just love them?

Upload feito originalmente por ana_assisjesus

I am so happy is finally summer! :-D

It doesn't even matter if is still kind of cloudy in the morning, the sun always find its way out!
And most important: I can wear flip-flops!!!

I am really happy with summer this year!
Last year, when I moved to Amsterdam, I think is I used sandals twice it was too much... Now is practically every day!

:-D

I took this picture in the morning, after my yoga class, while waiting for the bus to go to work...

Hope you all are enjoying a lovely summer!

Time to Relax

Today I had a rough day!
I woke up with a hell headache and had to force myself to make me some food in order to take some proper medicine...
A few hours later after brunch and nap I was another person... and able to bike to work!
At work things didn't really improved :-( and then I came home to a mountain of dirty dishes, after yesterday's bbq...
So! After a painful day nothing better than enjoy some sun and relax with a nice drink ;-)
Hope u had a nice day, and if not, wish u a nice evening!

PS.: on the pic, our brand new sake set! :-)

Ok! Here are this first pics of how my room looks like now! ;-)
We have a new drawer and a cute purple cover (which my hubby gave to me a week ago) and I've placed, for now, my cute colorful budas for some meditation set!
And freeing up so many space last night, we now have place for this cute bench!!! :-)
We were looking for it for a long time already!!! And now we finally found it! :-)
It is cute, useful and practical!
Hope u like the pics, as much as I enjoy my room!
'Laters! xoxo
