Some of us have the dream of living in an island with an endless sunshine and pristine waters. I had that dream and finally made it come true last year by moving to Tenerife. It’s been one year and a half since I moved to the largest island in the Canary Islands. Moving from a big city like London to an island brought many changes in my life, some good, some bad. Discover in this article the pros and cons of living in Tenerife.
If you think London is a boring city, because of the grey and foggy skies, that means you haven’t experienced the fun buzz of London town. There is so much to do and visit in London that it can be hard to select all activities and places to enjoy the city to the fullest. In order to help finding the best activities, I selected four that during holiday season will make you forget London’s lousy weather: Fairgame, Afternoon Tea Bus London Tour, Winter Wonderland and The Tina Turner Musical. Let’s have fun, shall we!
Tradition is best celebrated in special dates like Christmas, where the table is filled with love and food. In Portugal, where I am from, Christmas is a moment to cook our best and most traditional recipes. Besides codfish, because there isn’t a Portuguese table at Christmas without codfish, there are other dishes that also celebrate the Portuguese culture. One of them is Lagareiro Octopus, an oven dish served with roasted potatoes and a very tender octopus. In this article I bring you this recipe and also another one, which is my favourite Portuguese delicacy for Christmas, Pumpkin Cakes. Merry Christmas and Bon Appetit!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year, families and friends gathered together to celebrate Christmas and New Year’s Eve. As wonderful as it can be, unfortunately there is stress attached to it too, especially when it comes the time to find the perfect dress. I chose some dresses for this Holiday Season for every budget that can make the task of finding the perfect dress easier.
Available since 2001, GHD Straighteners have gained a huge popularity, being known as the best to get sleek and shiny hair. Only now I put the famous original GHD straightener to test. Does it work in very frizzy curly hair like mine? Will GHD beat L’oreal Steampod, which has been my favourite straightener for about eight years? Here is a quick review about the GHD Original Straightener.
Healthy locks can be hard to recover after severe damage caused by blow-drying and straighteners. Over the last years I have been trying to find a solution that enables me to use my natural curls without them looking too destroyed by the constant straightening. I found two solutions: follow the curl tutorials available on YouTube or use the silk heatless curl kit. Which method is better to get my curls back in shape? Find out the answer in this article.
The luxury and visionary fashion brand Off-White has stepped into the beauty market with its new perfume collection: Paperwork Solution.
