What are you snacking on lately? I can't get enough of Katy’s scrumptious spin on my beloved &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2012/03/fancy-avocado-trick.html"&gt;avocados&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;-&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.sugarlaws.com/roasted-avocado-slices"&gt;roasted avocado wedges&lt;/a&gt;:) They are
perfect just by themselves or you can add them to a simple salad or (my favourite)&amp;nbsp;eat them&amp;nbsp;with yoghurt-garlic dip on&amp;nbsp;the side. If you never
had warm &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2012/07/nifty-avocado-trick.html"&gt;avocados&lt;/a&gt; before, the taste is similar to artichoke hearts - just
creamer, richer and more scrumptious. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best part: they take only 15 minutes to make. You
need 2 avocados,&amp;nbsp;a dash of olive oil, 2 cloves on grated garlic, salt and pepper. Ta dah!
Here is &lt;a href="http://www.sugarlaws.com/roasted-avocado-slices"&gt;the full recipe&lt;/a&gt;:)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Would you try it? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
P.S: My other favourite, &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2011/10/baked-avocado-fries.html"&gt;baked avocado fries&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
P.P.S: &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2012/01/avocado-booster.html"&gt;Fancy&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2012/03/avocado-snack.html"&gt;more&lt;/a&gt;? &lt;br /&gt;

Do you wear long dresses? I &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2012/05/swoon-worthy.html"&gt;love them&lt;/a&gt; and they are one of
the most popular spring and summer wardrobe choices around the world, yet so
many women have a hard time pulling them off. Some worry that they are too
petite or short, others say their waist is invisible or their proportions
are totally off. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, &lt;a href="http://www.glamour.com/fashion/blogs/dressed/2013/05/maxi-dresses-ive-overcome-my-f.html"&gt;I recently read&lt;/a&gt; that no matter how tall, short, skinny
or curvy you might be, there is one set type of maxi dresses that fit us all
and make our proportions look just right. Here are the three things to keep in
mind while shopping for a maxi dress next time around: it should have an empire
waist, short sleeves and subtle prints. It’s important to break the length and
create a division/movement. Bonus: if you want to look even taller, just put
your hair into an &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2013/05/how-to-wear-your-hair-like-true.html"&gt;updo&lt;/a&gt; - it will add optically a few extra inches to your look.
&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Da dah! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Would do you think? Agree or
disagree? Would you give it a go?

I bet that by now you probably heard about the cool &lt;a href="http://redballproject.com/"&gt;Red Ball Project&lt;/a&gt; by &lt;a href="http://redballproject.com/artist"&gt;Kurt Perschke&lt;/a&gt;, haven’t you? He is the awesome guy who places his humongous
red ball in random places all around the world from &lt;a href="http://redballproject.com/redball-cities/chicago"&gt;Chicago&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://redballproject.com/redball-cities/barcelona"&gt;Barcelona&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://redballproject.com/redball-cities/sydney"&gt;Sydney&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href="http://redballproject.com/uk"&gt;UK&lt;/a&gt; to even &lt;a href="http://redballproject.com/abu-dhabi/sites"&gt;Abu Dhabi&lt;/a&gt;. He usually chooses those spots
that are taken for granted or forgotten and a bit more unusual to create an
element of surprise and to get a reaction. Well, just a few weeks ago the
awesome red ball spent a few busy days &lt;a href="http://www.redballproject.com/paris/"&gt;Paris&lt;/a&gt;! Oh yes, it cruised down the
Seine, rolled in for a quick cuppa to the Café Beaibourg and even got itself squeezed between the
railing of the Hotel de Ville. What a gem! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have a secret wish that one day I’ll just randomly walk down the
street and spot it. Who knows where is will appear next, right? Would you fancy
spotting it on your way to work? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
P.S: Remember Londoners and their &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2013/01/londoners-and-their-yellow-duck.html"&gt;yellow duck&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;

our future child wants to wear a superhero costume to a grocery store or to the
playground I would be totally happy with it. Well, my logic is that if they
want to be superheroes&amp;nbsp;for a day or two when they are five, so be it! And then
last night I spotted &lt;a href="http://www.classic-play.com/a-clone-trooper-goes-grocery-shopping/"&gt;this cool little dude&lt;/a&gt; and now I want one too (kid, not a costume) -&amp;nbsp;giggle. His mom &lt;a href="http://about.me/jennifercooper"&gt;Jen&lt;/a&gt; said that he was
saving this awesome Clone Trooper costume for the past three months and then
suddenly he decided it’s time to wear it&amp;nbsp;- I love that! Don't you?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Would you be ok with
your child wearing a costume just because? Have you done it yourself when you
were little? xo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
P.S: Remember &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2010/10/baby-ccino-to-go.html"&gt;this cutie&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;

Have you seen &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1313139/"&gt;The Oranges&lt;/a&gt;? What did you think? A few days ago, Balazs and I just randomly picked this movie out, not really knowing what it is about besides that the two main characters are &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0491402/?ref_=tt_cl_t4"&gt;Hugh Laurie&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;aka &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0412142/"&gt;Dr. Gregory House&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1015262/?ref_=tt_cl_t1"&gt;Leighton Meester&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;best known from &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0397442/"&gt;Gossip Girl&lt;/a&gt;.  And guess what?  We weren’t disappointed, actually the opposite. It’s a brilliantly written comedy drama of two dysfunctional families who happen to be neighbours and best friends.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T-PykOdNU5k/UZJ8w05umlI/AAAAAAAAZro/fsOkFCAkKpA/s1600/3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
There is an over-controlling mother, a very resistant daughter, an unhappy marriage or two, and an overachieving &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0111013/?ref_=tt_cl_t5"&gt;son&lt;/a&gt;, an underachieving &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0790057/?ref_=tt_cl_t2"&gt;sister&lt;/a&gt;, an unhappy middle aged guy and &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001416/?ref_=tt_cl_t3"&gt;the wife&lt;/a&gt; who doesn’t think that life is about happiness.&amp;nbsp;A perfect recipe for disaster, isn’t it? Well, besides all the messed up relationships and the devastating affair (oh yes, there is one), the film sustains the most incredible vibe of light-heartiness and wittiness. It proves that sometimes we all need just a little push out of our comfort zone to get back on track, realize and start doing what we always wanted to do or achieve. So, if you are up for a great watch after a busy day of work, this film is&amp;nbsp;totally for you! &lt;br /&gt;

Bits and bobs:&lt;br /&gt;
- Did you know Hugh had a tiny little role in &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2012/10/express-o-film-club-8-tips-guys-should.html"&gt;Friends&lt;/a&gt; back in the day? &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6qvY0SeXmo"&gt;Check this out&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;
- &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zVy_HpIOq0"&gt;He sings as well&lt;/a&gt; and pretty good too:)&lt;br /&gt;
- Giggle, here is his &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNoS2BU6bbQ"&gt;little comedy sketch&lt;/a&gt; from back in the day.&lt;br /&gt;
- &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_anxLGJt54"&gt;Leighton&lt;/a&gt; is adorable:)&lt;br /&gt;
- &lt;a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/leighton-meester-loves-oranges-big-apple-article-1.1172065"&gt;Here&lt;/a&gt; Leighton talks about her role in the film.&lt;br /&gt;
-&amp;nbsp;Fancy knowing who are her &lt;a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/news/2010/09/14/leighton-meester-style-interview"&gt;style icons&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
- &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001416/?ref_=tt_cl_t3"&gt;Catherine Keener&lt;/a&gt; played Hugh's wife. She was brilliant and I also adored her in &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405422/"&gt;The 40 Year Old Virgin&lt;/a&gt;. Have you seen it?&lt;br /&gt;
- She was also nominated for an Oscar for her role in &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120601/"&gt;Being John Malkovich&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;back in 2000 and for her role in &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0379725/"&gt;Capote&lt;/a&gt; in 2005.&lt;br /&gt;
- You might remember &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0790057/?ref_=tt_cl_t7"&gt;Alia Shawkat&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1172233/"&gt;Whip It&lt;/a&gt;:)&lt;br /&gt;
- The adorable &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0111013/?ref_=tt_cl_t5"&gt;Adam Brody&lt;/a&gt; played the son and he even cracked a few great jokes:)&lt;br /&gt;
- Have you watched him in &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0362359/"&gt;The O.C.&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;
- He has a new film &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2399406/"&gt;coming out soon&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
- Remember &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001624/?ref_=tt_cl_t8"&gt;Oliver Platt&lt;/a&gt; from &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118998/"&gt;Doctor Dolittle&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;

Have you ever taken a spontaneous&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2012/03/off-season-holiday.html"&gt;trip&lt;/a&gt; without all the
planning, organizing and researching the location? Ever since I spotted the
quote above, I have a bug in me to just open a map, close my eyes and randomly pick
a spot&amp;nbsp;- just like that! I read somewhere recently that those &lt;em&gt;on-the-go&lt;/em&gt; trips
are the new big thing and that more and more people choose them over well planned
vacations. &lt;br /&gt;

Ha, so let's play a game: what’s the first country or city that pops
into your mind that you’d love to visit and haven’t been before? Go on, tell me:)&amp;nbsp;xo&lt;br /&gt;

Darlings, fancy sporting the&lt;em&gt; it&lt;/em&gt; Parisian hairdo this spring and summer?
Well, according to the awesome &lt;a href="http://mrnewton.net/chignon-nouveau/"&gt;Mr. Newton&lt;/a&gt;, the hairstyle that rules&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/search/label/Paris"&gt;Paris&lt;/a&gt; right
now, is the super loose and super soft bun piled directly on top of the head.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Yup, the softer, looser and higher, the
better. And what's the&amp;nbsp;only rule&amp;nbsp;for it to come out just right? Well, if it takes you more
than 3 minutes to get it done, you’re probably doing it wrong. It should be very
organic and almost careless in a way. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What do you think? Thumbs up or down? Would
you wear it? xo

Oh boy, how something so dangerous and devastating can be so
utterly beautiful and mind-blowing at the same time? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yowza, &lt;a href="http://lusika33.livejournal.com/"&gt;Andrew and Luda&lt;/a&gt; are two
incredibly fearless photographers who travel the world snapping photos of
everything interesting, unusual and &lt;a href="http://fotki.yandex.ru/users/andrey5d/view/730401/?page=0"&gt;in this case&lt;/a&gt; super dangerous. Recently they
went on&amp;nbsp;an expedition to photograph the &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamchatka_Peninsula"&gt;Kamchatka Peninsula&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2013/03/guardians-of-russian-art.html"&gt;Russia&lt;/a&gt; and its
active, erupting volcano known as &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolbachik"&gt;Tolbachik&lt;/a&gt;. They not only captured the magnificent
molten rock flows following the eruption or the eruption itself but they also
came just a few feet away from the actual steam of boiling lava and took a glimpse
inside of the volcanic cave. Brave, isn’t
it? Have you ever seen anything like that before? xo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Do
you exist in &lt;em&gt;the present/in the moment&lt;/em&gt; or do you &lt;em&gt;overstimulate/rush yourself&lt;/em&gt; on
everyday basis?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2013/01/one-thing-this-year.html"&gt;my 2013 goal&lt;/a&gt; is to&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;simplify&lt;/em&gt; my life and go back to basics&amp;nbsp;instead of spreading myself thin between daily tasks, I
found my new &lt;em&gt;‘calm’&lt;/em&gt;. I used to multitask like crazy thinking that it will save
me time, energy and make me be more effective. Well, &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2012/10/working-through-chaos.html"&gt;remember this&lt;/a&gt;? I came to
realize that it actually does the opposite to my life and when recently I read &lt;a href="http://zenhabits.net/simplify/"&gt;this little article&lt;/a&gt;, I discovered&amp;nbsp;how important it is to not skip on steps and just
let yourself fully absorb any task from start to finish before moving onto
the next part of your day:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;"When you’re done eating,
mindfully wash your bowl. When you’re done with anything, get in the habit of
pausing before moving onto the next thing, and cleaning up after yourself. Put
your food away. Put your clothes where they belong. Put your keys in one spot.
Clean the sink before you leave it. This simple habit will keep you mindful
while saving you lots of clean-up later."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That is why I love baking so much. &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2013/03/express-o-originals-sun-dried-tomato.html"&gt;Each step can't be rushed&lt;/a&gt; and you have to give your undivided attention to each part
of the baking process or otherwise your cake won’t taste great. So, I adapted the
same exact rule to everything from washing my breakfast bowl after &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2013/01/sfph-homemade-granola.html"&gt;granola&lt;/a&gt;, to&amp;nbsp;my
swimming routine, to meeting friends for a drink and even&amp;nbsp;to making dinner. Each part of our
task is important so why&amp;nbsp;not give it your full attention?&amp;nbsp;Plus, the last part makes for a fantastic transition where we
can reflect, absorb and be present….Simple, isn't it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fancy trying it for a week&amp;nbsp;to see how
much more relaxed and centred&amp;nbsp;you will become? You will enjoy all those things so much more too - promise! What do you think, are you up for a challenge? xo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
P.S: A little &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-little-wisdom-to-happier-you.html"&gt;wisdom&lt;/a&gt; to a happier you:)&lt;br /&gt;
P.P.S: &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2013/02/relaxing-productivity.html"&gt;Relaxing = productivity&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Do you drink milk? What type? Since I’m allergic to dairy
milk, I mostly drink almond milk and when a while ago I started to make my own, I
never looked back. Homemade almond milk tends to be so much creamers and richer
than shop-bought, plus it’s pretty easy to make. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Well, plain almond
milk is scrumptious but when a few weeks ago I spotted &lt;a href="http://ohsheglows.com/2013/01/24/my-favourite-homemade-almond-milk-step-by-step-photos/"&gt;Angela's vanilla and cinnamon twist&lt;/a&gt;, a light bulb lit above my head :) Maybe it’s just me but that combo
tastes like Christmas morning each day of the week. And let’s face it, there is
no better day than Christmas morning, right? :)
Have you ever made your own almond milk? (Here are great &lt;a href="http://ohsheglows.com/2013/01/24/my-favourite-homemade-almond-milk-step-by-step-photos/"&gt;step-by-step instructions&lt;/a&gt;). xo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
P.S: Also, &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2011/05/chocolate-ice-cubes-heaven.html"&gt;chocolate ice cubes&lt;/a&gt;:)&lt;br /&gt;

Mine flew by and when I woke up this morning, I was convinced it's only Thursday. Ha! Anyway, tonight I'm meeting a friend for a coffee and a slice of the best cherry pie in town and tomorrow I'm hosting a cooking-club class in our flat. I'm excited for a day of scrumptious smells, chatter and good food. Also, happy Mother's Day weekend&amp;nbsp;to all the amazing ladies out there:) Hope you'll be spoiled with fudge, ice-cream and bubble baths:)&amp;nbsp;Plus, as&amp;nbsp;always here are a few fun links for your weekend relaxing. Enjoy!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2013/05/dinner-ritual.html"&gt;Speaking of food&lt;/a&gt;, I’ve realized that the simplest dishes
ooze the most flavours. Would you agree?&amp;nbsp;Lately we are hooked on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.tarteletteblog.com/2011/11/recipegluten-free-mixed-nuts.html"&gt;cherry tomatoes and roasted garlic tartines&lt;/a&gt;. There is something so soothing and delicious about
freshly roasted garlic and cherry tomatoes&amp;nbsp;layered on a crisp piece of bread. Psst: sometimes
when I feel adventurous, I even pop a &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2011/11/poached-egg-trick.html"&gt;poached egg&lt;/a&gt; on top! (Here is &lt;a href="http://www.tarteletteblog.com/2011/11/recipegluten-free-mixed-nuts.html"&gt;the full recipe&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-to-roast-garlic.html"&gt;here is a great way&lt;/a&gt; to roast your garlic). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What are some of your favourite simple dishes? xo&lt;br /&gt;

P.S: &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2012/06/simple-pleasure-hour-poached-egg.html"&gt;This one&lt;/a&gt; is delicious too:)&lt;br /&gt;

Do you have a dinner ritual? The type that recharges you? After our&amp;nbsp;little &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2013/02/fancy-little-march-challenge.html"&gt;March challenge&lt;/a&gt; we developed a sweet&amp;nbsp;routine of lighting a honey wax candle on our dining table most nights of the week, just because. I’ve never realized how something so insignificant and simple like candle-light can make an everyday mealtime so special. Somehow mealtimes in our home transformed into&amp;nbsp;those secret moments that I look forward to. The simple things in life! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now, your turn:) What are your little dinner time routines? xo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
P.S:&amp;nbsp;And if you have any wine left afterwards, here is a &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2012/05/saving-leftover-wine.html"&gt;nifty little saving trick&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

What’s your pick? Oh boy, it doesn’t get
any better than two of the world’s most photogenic cities blended into one, creating
an incredible visual delight! Recently,
&lt;a href="http://iella.net/"&gt;Danielle&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;moved from London to New York and in celebration of her big life
change she created &lt;a href="http://dan.iella.net/blog/?p=166"&gt;a love letter&lt;/a&gt; to the two most important cities in her life.
One represents her past, her comforts, nostalgia and the other is her future,
the unknown.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Before she left &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2011/11/daydreaming-london-style.html"&gt;London&lt;/a&gt; she
took photos of her favourite spots around the city and then she matched them
with every new favourite place in &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2011/07/new-york-icons.html"&gt;New York&lt;/a&gt; creating a visual and emotional map
of her own unique city! Don't you just love that? xo &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
P.S: Now I can't wait to get her &lt;a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1068932801/new-york-london"&gt;photo book&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;
P.P.S: Also, &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2011/07/london-versus-paris.html"&gt;London versus Paris&lt;/a&gt; and the swoonworthy &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2012/09/autumn-bliss-in-british-countryside.html"&gt;British countryside&lt;/a&gt;:)&lt;br /&gt;

Darlings, what are your eating habits? Do you know how much you spend
weekly on your groceries and take out’s? Do you have a well-balanced diet? I’m
totally gobsmacked by those incredibly unique and eye-opening snapshots of
global eating habits. It seems that the &lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2319825/The-great-global-food-gap-Families-world-photographed-weekly-shopping-reveal-cost-ranges-3-20-320.html"&gt;food gulf&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;between nations is humongous!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, a family of four in France
spends on average $416 weekly on their food, while a family of 13 in Bhutan spends
only $4.95. Shocking, isn't it? Also, Italian families seem to have the most balanced diet with
tons of fish, veggies, fruits and pasta. All those families are a
part of &lt;a href="http://www.menzelphoto.com/bio.php"&gt;Peter Menzel's&lt;/a&gt; book, &lt;a href="http://www.menzelphoto.com/books/hp.php"&gt;The Hungry Planet&lt;/a&gt;. Peter and his wife Haith
visited 30 families in 24 countries and photographed them with their weekly food
purchases, including a detailed description of all the
things they eat weekly. Peter hopes that his book will become our culinary atlas
of the planet. So interesting, isn’t it? This project makes me look&amp;nbsp;at my diet in a whole new way!&amp;nbsp;xo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
P.S: Also, five Olympians and &amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2012/06/five-olympians-and-their-diets.html"&gt;their diets&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;

Have you seen the &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJlw27Fx11E"&gt;Oscar winning&lt;/a&gt; French film, &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7D-Y3T0XFA"&gt;Amour&lt;/a&gt;? I’d love
to know your thoughts on it. I’ve been thinking all day how to sum this film up
and the only words that come to my mind are&lt;em&gt; heart-breaking love story&lt;/em&gt;! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CmPNOVPusmo/UYk9f-oncZI/AAAAAAAAZcE/LKVp3jwQv1c/s1600/3.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It’s&amp;nbsp;a raw, intimate,&amp;nbsp;devastating, unflinching and honest
portrayal of an elderly&amp;nbsp;couple faced with death. The story asks many hard questions
about life and to be absolutely honest, it’s one of the most moving films I’ve
even seen. Even while typing this post, I get teary just thinking about it. Seeing
your soul mate suffer is never easy but knowing the end is near must be devastating yet inevitable. It’s a film that initially will break
your heart into millions of small pieces and make you cry uncontrollably to the point that your chest will feel all heavy, but&amp;nbsp;ultimately will make you realize how amazing true love is. There is nothing
better than sharing your life with someone you truly adore and when the end
comes, it simply comes...but it will never outlast&amp;nbsp;the true love that two people share. That lasts forever!&lt;br /&gt;

- The Austrian director, &lt;a href="http://www.timeout.com/london/film/michael-haneke-interview-2"&gt;Michael Haneke&lt;/a&gt; on the film. Must read!&lt;br /&gt;
- He also&amp;nbsp;admits that his films are &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2012/nov/04/michael-haneke-amour-director-interview"&gt;easier to make than to watch&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
- &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0728938/?ref_=tt_cl_t2"&gt;Emmanuelle Riva&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;played Anne in the film and &amp;nbsp;she was nominated for an Oscar for her role. Furthermore, she is the oldest woman to have ever received a nomination for&amp;nbsp;the Best Actress title.&lt;br /&gt;
- Here is an amazing &lt;a href="http://nymag.com/thecut/2013/02/photo-tribute-to-actress-emmanuelle-riva.html"&gt;vintage photo tribute&lt;/a&gt; to her.&lt;br /&gt;

- &lt;a href="http://www.indiewire.com/article/watch-oscar-nom-emmanuelle-riva-charms-in-1959-cannes-interview"&gt;Here is an intreview with her&lt;/a&gt; from 1959! What a beauty!&lt;br /&gt;

- Michael Haneke once said: "Films that are entertainments give simple answers but I think that's ultimately more cynical, as it denies the viewer room to think. If there are more answers at the end, then surely it is a richer experience."&lt;br /&gt;

Would you go on a blind date? About four years ago my
friend, Liam was set up on a blind date by his sister. Back then, he worked in
advertising and even though&amp;nbsp;his job was very social, he had the hardest time
finding someone that he felt a connection with. Almost 4 years on and&amp;nbsp;they&amp;nbsp;are happily expecting
their first baby any day now. They both say that they went into the evening
with an open mind, just hoping for a nice conversation. That took off tons of
pressure and made them both feel comfortable. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other hand, my friend
Sofia used to be a notorious blind-dater, but she found &lt;em&gt;the one&lt;/em&gt; living just
two floors above her :).&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;She said that
blind dates were too nerve-wracking. Each time she had that underlying
feeling that it might be the one and when it didn’t work out, she was
crushed. It’s amazing how the universe works. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As for me, I don’t think I’d be good blind date material but then again,&amp;nbsp;it can
be very exciting to meet a new person who&amp;nbsp;might not turn out to be&amp;nbsp;a partner, but can
end up being a great friend. Do you have
any funny, heart-warming or scary blind date stories? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
P.S: If you're thinking about going on a blind date, here&amp;nbsp;are a few great&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.glamour.com/sex-love-life/blogs/single-ish/2010/04/10-ways-to-have-an-awesome-bli.html"&gt;tips&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to check out.&lt;br /&gt;
P.P.S: &lt;a href="http://diana212m.blogspot.com/2013/03/whats-your-story.html"&gt;Here is how&lt;/a&gt; Balazs and I met.&lt;br /&gt;

gets really awkward in front of a camera, with his smile becoming&amp;nbsp;hilariously
frozen? Well, that is totally me! I get very uneasy in front of a camera and
the only photos I look nice on are those taken 
without me noticing. Somehow, as soon as I see a camera, my face freezes - badly!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So the other day when&amp;nbsp;I stumbled upon &lt;a href="http://pinterest.com/satsukishibuya/feet-beat/"&gt;Saksuki’s feet photo board&lt;/a&gt;, I figured that is exactly what I should start doing since my feet
don’t mind the camera attention but my smile does. Surprisingly feet photos can
be really adorable - great self-portraits with a twist:).&amp;nbsp;Plus, what a perfect excuse to get a few new pairs of spring
shoes, right? &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Darlings, are you comfortable with
having your photo taken or do you freeze like me? Do tell. xo&lt;br /&gt;

Have you heard
about &lt;a href="http://www.thetutuproject.com/"&gt;The Tutu Project&lt;/a&gt;? Since my mom had two cancer scares in the past 3 years,
this incredibly sweet, heart-breaking and hilarious project touched me in a
very emotional way. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2003, &lt;a href="http://www.thetutuproject.com/about/"&gt;Bob Carey&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and his wife, Linda, moved to New York and since it was a huge change from
their previous life, Bob started this little tutu project to express his
feeling about the move. Unfortunately, six months later, Linda was diagnosed
with breast cancer. If that wasn't enough,&amp;nbsp;2 weeks later his sister was also diagnosed. So, for the next 10 years, Bob continued his tutu
adventures in hopes to raise money to help other women and make people smile :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his
own words: &lt;em&gt;‘&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-themecolor: text1;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Oddly enough, her cancer has taught us that life is
good, dealing with it can be hard, and sometimes the very best thing - no, the
only thing - we can do to face another day is to laugh at ourselves, and share a
laugh with others’&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What a wonderful man:) xo &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
P.S: &lt;a href="http://www.glamour.com/health-fitness/blogs/vitamin-g/2013/05/bob-carey-tutu-project.html"&gt;Here is a lovely&lt;/a&gt; interview with Bob about this tutu project.&lt;br /&gt;
