Ski time!!

        This weekend I finally had the chance to go skiing with my family and friends and I had a great time. For many years ski as been my favorite sport and I wish I would be able to practice it more often. I wish I would be able to describe how I feel while I'm skiing, but I don't know exactly how to do it. If you like this spot you will probably understand what I mean with that, an if you have nerve tried this sport, I really recommend you to do it.

Leather and stars


          Leather jackets are defenetly one of my favorite clothes. The thing that I like in most about them is that they has a lot of character to your looks and depending how you combine it, the same leather jacket can look completly different. From a casual and confy look (as the one from today), to a punky and original look if you combine it with the adequate accessories.  The only downside that leather jackets have is that they are usually not really warm well at least not enough for this time of the year, thats why I like to wear them when there weather gets a little bit warmer.

Finally, you are MINE!

       A little bit more than a month ago I was walking around the city when I saw this jacket-sweater in one of my favorite stores. I tried on but I didn't buy it because I wasn't sure at all. As soon I arrived home I know that I should have bought it. I went back to the store as soon as I had a break, but of course, as it always happens, the jacket was gone. I went back to the store every week since them and every time they had a bunch of new and beautiful clothes, but not the jacket. Finally the other day while I was trying to find the house of a friend in a part of the city where I haven't been in a while, I saw the jacket in one of those small shops where they have a lot of original things. I was so excited that I waited a few hours until they opened the store and a few minutes later, I left the store wearing the jacket that finally, was mine!

Christmas market in Bremen

    It feels so good to be back in Germany after such a long time away from my second home. Right now I'm spending a long weekend here inBremen with my family. Doing all tthis German things that I missed so much!




       This morning I went to the Christmas market, and I had such a good time there that we spent the whole day, well until it got dark that was at 5 pm. Everything was very nice decorated with all the Christmas ornaments, and of course I got some more Christmas presents. The best moment was when after a few hours walking around I got some hot drink tthat I still don't know what it was, but it felt great! Here you have some pictures from today!

TUNESDAY

           I don't think I could live without music. I need it on my day a day. Every time that I put my headphones on it's a small break, a moment for relax. I listen to music when I wake up, when I go for a walk or a run, while I'm working out, when I'm writing... A simple song can change my mood. It helps me to keep calm when I'm freaking out, but it also gives me a lot of energy when I'm a little bit down. How it happens? I don't know, but I know how music makes me feel and that's why I decided to write about it today. I like all kinds of music, I like to combine them. That's why I have a little bit of everything in my Ipod, and I couldn't tell you which one is my favorite style of music or song.




           So here you have some of my favorite tracks that I've been listening for the last couple of weeks. As I've been a little bit stress out most of them are what I would call "energy music" that I use to listen while I go for a run. I hope you like them!!

We are invaded by 'galets'

         Every year for Christmas, the streets of Barcelona are invaded by huge pasta shells called 'galets'. Last weekend I saw them by the first time of the year, and they made me realice that I have to hurry up with my Christmas shopping! but you ar eprobably wandering why would they put pasta shells as a Christmas ornament?

An original present


          Who doesn't like cookies? well I love them and that's why I like to surprise my friend with some of them. I think it's an easy gift that they will enjoy and you can always put them inside a nice box, in a small bag with a card... But first of all, you need to learn HOW TO DO THEM! 



        Today I spent a bunch of hours doing cookies with a friend, we used a very basic cookie recipe and then we added some chocolate, almonds, springles... you can add whatever you want. That's why I always have so much fun doing them.

December

        December is always one of my favorite months of the year. I'm not a big fan of the cold weather, but the fact that the city is full of lights and christmas trees it's probably the reason why I like it so much. Today I did some Christmas shopping around "Passeig de Gracia" and "Plaça Catalunya ", and ended my morning having lunch in one of my favorite restaurants , the Thai Garden. I recommend you to go there if you like thai food.

Walking around Barcelona

        Have you ever had the pleasure to walk around Barcelona? If you did you probably understand why I chose this name as the name of my blog. Barcelona has almost everything I love. From small and exclusive boutiques in "El Born" where I always find amazing stuff, to big parks where I can go for a run and do some sport. I can spend hours in the beach or go for a walk around the mountain. I've been living a year away from my city and that's probably the reason why I like it so much, I can spend hours walking around. I never get bored.

       This city is my everyday and it allows me to enjoy everything I want to share with you. From  healthy daily tips, to extravagant fashion styles that you will never forget. 





” Such a beautiful horizon, like a jewel in the sun , for you a will be a seagle of your beautiful ocean . The bells are ringing, open up your doors to the world" (Freddie Mercury)

” We crossed spacious streets, with building resembling   palaces, in La Rambla promenade ; the shops were well illuminated and there was movement and life… I did not decide to go to sleep, even though I wished to, so I could rise early and contemplate, in daylight, this city, unknown to me: Barcelona, capital of Catalonia ”
(Hans Christian Anderson)
