GINGIBER

A few weeks ago I won a giveaway Stacie hosted in her blog Gingiber. She is an incredibly talented illustrator and has been doing a 52 Weeks of Dogs project which in my opinion is really inspiring.

I finally welcomed into my home this stunning illustration of a Greyhound. I don´t have a dog so I feel like even tho he´s not a real one, he will still keep me company!

Algunas semanas atras gané una giveaway que organizó Stacie en su blog Gingiber. Es una ilustradora incredible y ha estado haciendo un proyecto llamado 52 Weeks of Dogs que en mi opinion es muy inspirador.

Finalmente recibi en mi casa esta hermosa ilustracion de un Galgo. No tengo perros, por lo tanto siento que aunque este no sea un perro real, ¡igualmente me va a hacer compañia!

Have an beautiful day!

POSITIVE PLAYLIST: NOTHING EVER HAPPENS

I´ve been listening to really positive music latetly and I´ve also been discovering many great artists. I feel like this deserves to have a little place in my blog because music is really helpful sometimes and it can even change your day for the better. That´s why I´ve started to make a positive playlist to help me stay in a good modd and by sharing it I can also help someone else who is just not having a good day.

He estado escuchando música muy positiva ultimamente y tambien he descubierto muchos artistas talentosos. Siento que esto merece un pequeño espacio en mi blog ya que la música puede ser muy positiva en ciertas ocaciones y hasta puede cambiar tu día en uno mejor. Por esto mismo he empezado a armar una playlist positiva para intentar mantenerme de buen humor y además al compartirla puedo ayudar a alguien que simplemente no estú teniendo el mejor día.

And nothing ever happens if you stay in your room.

Nothing ever happens if you leave the party too soon.
You'll never be a winner if you're not in the game.
Nothing ever happens if you always play it safe.
Make a little space and get out of your own way.

APPLE TART

Today I woke up feeling inspired. Suddenly I got this idea out of nowhere. I was gonna make an apple pie and I had the whole thing planned already. I was gonna search for a recipe online and I was gonna search for every single ingredient even if I had to get dressed and leave the house to do so.

I didn´t have some ingredients so I went to the market with my bike, enjoying the sunny day.

I got back home feeling excited about being able to do this new thing but most important, being able to feel excited about something other than staying in bed late on a Saturday morning.

So without further ado, here are some pictures of my little creation:


Hoy me levanté sintiéndome inspirada. De repente se me ocurrió hacer una tarta de manzana. Busqué la receta en internet y me aseguré de tener todos los ingredientes y si no los tenía no importaba, porque iba a hacer el sacrificio de vestirme y salir de mi casa para buscarlos.

No tenia algunos de los ingredientes, por lo cual fui al mercado en bicicleta, disfrutando el dia soleado.

Volvi sintiendome emocionada por poder hacer algo nuevo pero ademas porque iba a hacer algo distinto a quedarme en mi cama un Sabado por la mañana.

Ahora paso a mostrarles mi pequeña creacion:

RECIPE:

Ingredients:

 
• For the dough: 

125 g margarine or butter (room temperature, softened) 
Sugar 125 g 
8 g of vanilla sugar 
1 pinch of salt 
Juice of half a lemon 
3 eggs 
200 g flour 
2 teaspoons baking powder 
2 tablespoons milk

• For the surface:

1) Preheat oven to 180 º C.
2) Use a pie pan of about 25 cm in diameter and a little butter or oil to it´s surface and reserve.
3) Peel the apples, remove the heart and cut into quarters. ( I cut them as thin as I could)
4) For the dough, toss the softened butter in a bowl and gradually add sugar, vanilla sugar (I used vanilla extract), a pinch of salt and half a lemon juice and continue mixing.
5) Add eggs one by one and keep mixing. It is important to gradually add the eggs one by one, beating in between.
6) Before you add the flour, mix with 2 tablespoons of baking powder and then incorporate it into the mixture. Continue beating and add the 2 tablespoons of milk.
7) Fill the mold with the dough and smoothed with a spatula. Place the apples in a crown or top of the dough.
8) ENJOY EATING IT.
