New Year´s resolutions

It´s the last day of the year, which means a new year is coming.
(Almost) everyone always makes New Year's resolutions, and so did I.

I'll tell you what my intentions are:

• I first of all want to keep my body in shape. To me it is important to be happy with your body.
• I want to save more money for my study.
• I want to make my mind up about the study I will follow after my finals. (which are in 2015.)
• Worry less. (May sound weird to you, but I feel like that is gonna be my motto for the next year. Would be good for me to worry a bit less sometimes.)
• And I want to blog more often! I nowadays wrote mostly one post in a month, and I will try to write a bit more. (I got ideas enough!) (I won't always succeed though, because school takes its time, but I'll try.)

I think this are reasonable intentions which I can go for in 2014. 

I also want to keep giving love to my dear friends and family. Be honest and loving.

In general 2013 was a fantastic year, all the amazing things I told about in this post, my great holidays in France and Italy and a mass of small, yet important, memories which complete the year.

Ups and downs, highs and lows, but that is life.

bye bye!

What are your New Year's resolutions and experiences of 2013?

See you next year!

Ps. I hear people firing their firework outside right now, I honestly don't understand why you would fire it now, they'd better save it for tonight! ;)

Christmas clothing

Christmas has passed, Santa is gone home and your wallet is probably empty.

But that is not what Christmas is about,

Love, that is what it is about. 

I made a delicious seven courses diner with my mom and we enjoyed it with the family. I had a really good time, hope you had one as well!

But Christmas is as well about the way you dress, right?

I want to show you what my Christmas outfit looked like.

I chose a classic but modern outfit. The print of the dress is typical for the winter, the chic dress combined with the dotted thighs create an elegant, yet not too chic, look. I decided to wear gold accessorizes instead of silver. I matched my outfit with red nails, with a gold detail, and red lips. I chose the classic look by picking eye-liner and making a bold line.

 

red nails, red lips

my necklace is a gold dalmatian, isn't it cute?

See you soon!

Recipe: Mugcake!

Hello there,

You must have heard about this really simple but very delicious recipe before, but it is such a great thing that I will tell you about it as well!
It's an ideal recipe if you want to bake something but do not have the time to bake a whole pie, if you want something more special than a cookie, or if you don't want to share it with your family. ;)
The Mugcake!
This recipe of the mugcake will not turn into a brownie, it's not a sticky one but it's very light, though filling.

Okay, let's start by collecting all the necessary ingredients:

You use a teaspoon, tablespoon, fork and a mug. (Preferably a huge one.)
- 3 Tbls. (tablespoon) flour
- 2 Tsp. (teaspoon) baking powder
- 5 Tbls. sugar
- 2 Tbls. cocoa
- 1 egg
- 3 Tbls. milk
- 3,5 Tbls. liquid butter (You can easily melt the butter in the microwave.)
- 4 blocks of pure chocolate, chopped into patches.


1: First you blend the flour, baking powder, sugar and cocoa in the mug. I used a fork to stir because that went easier than with a spoon.
2: Now you have to add the egg and blend it until there are no more pieces and loose powder left.
3: Add the milk and liquid butter and stir again, you can stop stirring if it looks like a smooth, solid batter.
4: Mingle the chocolate patches through the batter.
5: The mugcake is ready to bake, place it in the microwave for 3 minutes on the highest. (This was 900 Watt for my microwave.)

Before you fall upon your cake you have to test if it's done: stick a cocktail pick into the cake, if it comes out clean it's done, if not then you need to bake it a bit longer in the microwave.

My mugcake had more chocolate patches on the bottom and they were still melted, so it tasted even more delicious!

Before I forget to warn you:
- It is possible that your mugcake floods, (mine flood extremely) that is no problem and the cake will still be very delicious. You only have to make sure you clean the microwave after baking. ;)
- The mugcake is very filling! it's not a little snack so I advice you to not bake it directly before/after a meal or before you sport. But when you bake it at the right moment, it will be sooo yummy!


Bon Appétit!
