Was it fun ? Yes ! All the time NO ! Why ???

1- Everybody in my class is older than me and I thought I wasn't going to " fit in the group " until they sang better than I ever could imagine...
2- My sight singing  is very bad, I gotta live from now on to be a master in that

  Benefits

  
  

  Chia seeds are a source of amazing long-term energy, which overtime can actually help your body to function at its best and burn more calories throughout the day. Chia also contains a high source of omega-3 fatty acids, similar to flax. 

  Another thing to be aware of is that chia becomes mucilaginous when soaked; so go ahead and make a pudding, jam or add it into your smoothies. Chia can help reduce nervousness, treat insomnia, improve mental focus, and it can become a soothing gel to help lubricate dry skin. If you find you are a little backed up, take a dose of chia and things will move along just fine— it is brilliant ! 

 

                             The power of COCONUT !

Coconut Cream : I love to cook with coconut cream/milk, I usually cook chicken breast with any vegetables and this is one of my favorite dishes to make at home, I will later put up a full recipe !

Coconut Oil the MUST have :

* Cook ( yes never ever need to use butter again ! ) after frying you lose the nutrients be careful, also for baking and adding to your food make sure you like the flavor !                   

* as a Tanning Lotion , yes it mega works the smell is delicious it has NO chemicals and the color of the skin is gorgeous after ! 

* mix with Almond oil to prevent Stretch Marks and use as a natural Body Cream !

* Lubricant ! yes your love will taste even better, and once more it's totally natural !

* Hair cream ... 

                                   Snack !Rice Cake 

comes in different flavors and it's an easy healthy snack  I like to eat the plain cake with Peanut butter and Jam, it's an awesome treat for the ones that need sugar to live hehe also try the caramel rice cake !

       The Beach is the place where I found my best self
I am comfortable sitting in the sand , let the sun burn my shoulders
Walk , run, step , smell, the water
The sound of the waves kissing, might be my favorite song
It clears my mind, reminds me of my father playing games in my childhood

I grew up there watching my dad be the most beautiful man in the world, never scared of the 

big waves
                                                                            Nature

Meshugga in Torontoland

 When the sun comes for his annually visit bringing all the high degrees in his luggage it's time for loooots of concerts in Canadaland, not only a bunch of famous bands but all over the country you can find Jazz Festivals featuring bands that you probably never thought you would see in your life time ! Last year I went to a " circle song " with the master Bob Mccferin , he was sitting in front of me , super mega close there wasn't more than 30 people inside the theater and his wisdom words were very positive and important in my life ! 

This is a Metal concert for the Band Meshuggah ( http://www.meshuggah.net/ ) , wearing my classic Metal look, cowboy boots and something that I think that makes me look sexy bad hehe and of course skulls !!! <3

Garden Mission

This is the first step I had to take to get my garden looking wonderful, all my neighbors have flowers all over their houses and that really inspired me to get the shovel and do a super mega hard work - first clean the weeds under a 32degrees sun to be able to start the pretty work. This is step only one!!!

Today is the first day of summer in Toronto, it will be harder to get my flowers going cause of the super crazy heat but it's now or neveeeeeer !!!!!

                                                                    The mission

                                                               Yes, I did it
