Ironing Board, Broken Lever

Arrivi...


I saw, I loved .. I hesitated and I finally contacted.
I'm talking about a necklace, a beautiful collection of hand made buttons that I found by chance bloggherellando here. As soon as I saw it I started to imagine it in my precious collection of plastic, I dreamed about this and that dress and I also thought the color. After days of indecision I decided to ask Sara. I asked if we could have, if she could prepare for me in a purple (which is my favorite color) and send it. Among all these positive responses, however, I do not expect the many pampering I received.
Sara was very kind and answered all my e-mail, to the many questions and requests. It is concerned even send me a picture of the finished work to be sure that I met. Once ordered my necklace, paid, waited for the packet forward without too many pleasantries and instead .. On Saturday morning (the day of shipment) Sara sent me an e-mail which informs me that left the whole thing and tells me if I want to peek preview "from her." Since then I discover that my necklace is not just a simple drawing of buttons .. I discovered that behind the anticipation of receiving something new, that I like and that is tailor-made me, lies the joy of someone else, someone has created what I'm about to have, someone who is concerned that everything was perfect and attention to detail, someone who has lost hours of sleep closed to seal the love in that little package with a little yellow raffia and a business card that speaks for itself.


When in the mail I received the package, I rushed home eager to "know" my new necklace, and when I dropped the yellow housing post office, I felt flattered and pampered because what I was going to discard had the same scent as a gift. He knew he was undertaking a project and kept smelling of home .. In addition to the necklace I had seen in his blog, I also received a packet in a piece of Sara, I do not know, but who want to say thank you. Thank you for giving shape to something that was exactly as I wanted, for having indulged since the first e-mail, but especially for having given birth to my beautiful necklace of buttons:):)


the cake now is for someone who still do not know well, just like Sarah, which I feel I must say Thank you, and so I chose something simple but dedicated and knowing (something I could know!;)) his love for cats, I was given a theme to decorate ..
The cake in question is the aforementioned bread cake, macaroons and chocolate that despite the kittens, always his great figure ..



Am I Getting My First Period

Crema Speziata di Lenticchie Rosse


After a week of sunshine here in Friuli, is being ugly again, and I'm also a bit 'cool. : O (We wanted something hot and spicy to warm the belly. Leafing through the various cookbooks I got the idea to make this dish. The base is a dahl Indian spiced lentil soup, which can be more or less dense. The original version uses different types of spices to make my life less complicated, I replaced it with the garam masala is a mixture that contains about all spices in the recipe that I read! I was smart, eh? O)) In the end, out of respect for the Indians, it would be better to give another name for this cream! : O))

for 2 people:

2 cups of coffee red lentils
1.2 liters of water
1 shallot, diced 1
small carrot, diced ( Optional, only she was lying in the fridge!)
a bit of ' garlic, minced 1 cm
ginger, peeled and sliced \u200b\u200b
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 tsp turmeric powder 2 tbsp
natural yogurt
few blades of chives
mustard oil (or peanut)
salt pepper

low heat, heat a bit 'of oil in a thick-bottomed saucepan and saute garlic, onion and ginger.
When they are shiny and fragrant, add the garam masala and then lentils. Toast lightly.
Pour the water and raise the heat. Cook for about 25-30 minutes, until lentils are undo and the soup has a creamy consistency.
Remove the pieces of ginger and add salt, pepper and turmeric, then mix. But remember, when cooking the vegetables, add salt only at the end!
At this point, if you wish, you can also whip the cream with a blender for a more velvety texture.
Serve warm with a spoonful of yogurt and chives. Better still if you have the Indian bread (naan ) to make "foot"!

Review matite Essence

Today mega review Essence of pencils in my possession.
By the time my collection has grown and I thought it's time to make things clear.

start by saying that there are three types of pencils of this brand: the longlasting, the 2in1 kohl and kajal, you will find the more eyebrow pencils and black mania.

start the review with my favorite: the longlasting.
I absolutely love! They are comfortable because we must not temper with technology twist, the mine were very soft and writer, sono facilmente sfumabili finchè non si asciugano, dopodichè si fissano e non si muovono più!
Attualmente sono disponibili in 8 colorazioni.
Quelle in mio possesso sono:
- 10 Almost famous, un rosa iridescente perfetto per punti luce o per dare ad un occhio nude un pò di iridescenza;
- 05 C'est la vie, un argento metallizzato, scriventissimo, perfetto come base;
- 01 Black fever, uno dei neri matte più intensi mai visti, scrive perfettamente all'interno dell'occhio e dura molto più di tante altri kajal;
- 06 Seventh heaven, un blu tendente al petrolio molto bello. Quando sono di fretta lo applico da solo sulla palpebra e fa un bellissimo effetto sull'occhio;
- 07 Easy going, azzurro acceso con riflessi oro.
L'effetto che vedete sulla mano è lo stesso di quello applicato sulla palpebra.
L'unico difetto che posso riscontrare è l'impossibilità di fare un tratto fine, proprio a causa della mina non temperabile.

Voto: 9

Altra tipologia di matita è la Kajal.
La prima cosa che colpisce paragonandole alle Longlasting è la maggiore durezza della mina, sono comunque scriventi però la matita scorre con meno facilità sulla palpebra.
La durata è abbastanza alta, si sfumano meno rispetto a quelle descritte in precedenza.
Essendo kajal mi aspetto good writing effect in the internal rhyme of the eye, but it is not so! The workaround I warm the pencil a little rubbing his hands for a nanosecond or warming with a hair dryer.
the 8 colors in the range I have taken:
- 17 Neon Sweetie, a very bright yellow matte;
- 14 Hola Chica, a purple / lilac delicious;
- 16 Check me out, now out of production.
I think you can see the intensity of their color.
With the necessary precautions, however, are easily sfuttabili and medium quality.

Score: 6 -

virtually identical as are the quality kajal 2in1
La differenza è che in ogni matita sono abbinati due colori per creare look diversi, sicuramente utile per portare in giro!
Ecco le colorazioni:
- 01 Black&White, entrambi matte, poco scriventi.
- 08 Mix&Match, un verde acqua similissimo all'Easy going delle Longlasting, abbinato un ad un verde bosco
- 07 Light&Bright, un luminoso celeste con un bel blu
- 04 Coffe&Cream, fuori produzione
Come potete notare alcuni colori sono meno scriventi, guardate ad esempio il nero!

Anche in questo caso bisogna scaldarle per avere una scrivenza all'interno eye also has to be fixed with powder product or the color goes away soon!

Rating: 5 / 6

last category are those pencils appartententi Sun Line Club, the four available colors I have the purple rain
These pencils are waterproof (in direct contact with water and rubbing his hand remained the swatch!), the mine is also the softest of all the pencils of Essence, too! In fact, especially in the summer tend to smasched on your eyelid if overplayed!
As you can see the color is very intense, once established it is very durable! Unfortunately, writes a little rhyme in the eye!

Rating: 8

As for my general considerations, the cost for these pencils are valid.
Taking into account that they are very demanding in terms of pencils (I have to write once and remain long) are longlasting on the podium! Reading this review
remember that my eye, having little watery, in itself tends not to particular pencils!

Have you tried these pencils? What is your favorite?
