Dear Instagramers. For all those, who love Instagram as much as I do, here are the pictures I posted in the last days. The first one is my home made ginger-bread-latte (not totally as good as Starbucks` one, but mine has definitely less calories :P) You will see that I was trying to deal with this insane cold we had some days ago, anyway it got a lot warmer these days!  Hope you visit my Instagram profile  and get to see my whole Instagram diary. cheers! 

Enjoying some family time. Finally (pooh, that took a long time) here is my last #bahiamemories, from my 3rd week there in November 2013. I already mentioned many times in these two posts ( here and here ) how beyond amazing the time was that I spent in Bahia last November.  This pictures show even more what a stunning paradise it is there. In this post I`m showing you the second week I spent there with my whole family in the all inclusive hotel Vila Galé . It was just an incredible time, the weather was perfect, we talked and laughed a lot and enjoyed so much the time together. I started to do crochet, thanks to my mum and my grandma, they really took a passion out of me, it`s my favorite hobby right now. (By the way there is some project coming in the next months that has to do with it, stay tuned ;)) As you know I actually  don`t like to post family pictures, but these are just to cute :) 

Surreal moments. Sometimes (in the most inappropriate times, like under the shower, during work,...) I get the best ideas for the texts I want to write on my post, but with no possibility to write it down! -.-  This unfortunately happened again with this post, anyway I can remember some parts of the text I wanted to write, so I`ll do my best now. My cousin`s wedding was just surreal.  The wedding was on a Saturday. On the Friday before they had a "welcome cocktail party" that was beyond amazing and with the location, the music and everything this could have been already the wedding. But it wasn`t it was "just" the welcome party. As I already said, the location was unique, I have never been to somewhere like this before. As you maybe already read on this post , my cousin married in Salvador, Bahia, in Brazil. For the welcome party, which also was a white party, w e got to a skyscraper where a "Baihana" (a woman from Bahia) welco...

Sorria, você está na Bahia. Smile, you are in Bahia. That`s what stands all over the place when you arrive in Salvador airport.   Anyway, how could you not? Bahia (which is a state in the north of Brazil) is like heaven on earth, it`s paradise. Why? Just have a look on the pictures below and you will totally understand! ;) But beyond the landscape I also love their food! They cook a lot with coconut milk and palm oil, lots of shrimps and fish, this state is like made for me! (Have a look on the "Moqueca de Camarão" below ;)) I`ll try to post some "Bahian recipes" in the next weeks. Why have I been there in November? First of all for my cousin`s wedding. But when you fly to Bahia (specially in my case being so far away) you can`t stay for just one weekend, right? So we decided to spend the first week in a house on the beach with friends, than we had the wedding, than we stayed one week in the hotel  Vila Galé (a hotel chain from Portugal), which was at the...
