Mood Nº1

Inspired by the colors and life of Spring, I decided to shoot these flowers at my grandma's a few weeks ago. I thought it's very strange, how we don't notice things that have been under our nose for a long time, and suddenly they fade away. That's what happened to me with all these beautiful flowers. I was always aware of them, but not of their beauty.

And now, they're all dying. And my grandma's moving. Ironic, no? Well, I think this post just got too nostalgic and sentimental. I just wanted to share some thoughts. Hope you have a lovely day!


Taste



Ok, first thing: I'm so excited I'm back to food photography! It's not like you will see a lot of that on my blog (ok, maybe on my Instagram). But I have to tell you, it's amazing to work with such talented people. I just love it!

Ok, now: Last weekend, I went to a super cool gastronomic event called Taste, As you may know, I have a ridiculous love for food, so, now you imagine how much I loved the event. Well ok, let me tell you how much I liked it.

On Saturday, we had a cooking show with the French/Spanish chef Mikel Alonso, who has a restaurant in Mexico called Biko. He showed us a lot of interesting: from culinary techniques to really interesting theories. Here's one of the plates he cooked, which was amazing.



On Sunday, we had a cooking show with three talented chefs from our country (which I admire, and I'm very lucky to work with) Jacqueline Henriquez, Leandro Díaz and Ana Lebron. Each one of them cooked different recipes in such a great and easy way. Here's what Leandro created:

Ok, you probably saw a picture of that on Insta too. But I just wanted to show you the one I took my camera, you can really appreciate all the details, and it looked (and tasted) wonderful!

After that, Ana got on the stage and cooked a delicious dessert called arroz con leche, which is very popular in my country. She kind of reinvented it, using different ingredients and cooking it in a very modern way. Here's how it turned out, and Jacqueline's creation on the right, which was wonderful as well:

Well, that's all folks! I had such a great time there. But now, this post is already too long, and it also made me a bit hungry. Ok yeah, I'll try not to make a mess in the kitchen now. Bye! xx

Monday morning

My love/hate relationship with Monday mornings started two months ago. Sometimes I loved the idea of waking up early, you know, a fresh start. And sometimes, it was just impossible for me to get out of bed and I just wanted to stay inside all week day long.

To be honest, I don't have a 'morning routine' if that's how you call it. Sometimes I shave, eat a super good breakfast, do some exercise... And sometimes I just don't. It depends on my mood.

And you know what I find the most difficult sometimes? Shaving. There, I said it. It takes such a looonggg time for me to get a perfect shave. Sometimes it's even boring, you know? That's why I almost always skip a day (or two).

But once I found out about Prospector Co. products, I wanted to die. Seriously, they're just too good!! I really encourage you to try them. They're organic, smell great and just look at that package. They're simply to die for. The shave cream smells sooooo so so so good, it's a weird thing to say, but it reminds me a little bit of the sea. And I love that. Their K.C. Atwood aftershave is also great. GREAT! It smells like citrus and it is just so refreshing!

Oh, and the Acacia shaving brush is incredibly soft. You should try it too!

Well, I have to say, these products have completely changed the way I shave now. They leave my skin just right and clean. Just the way I like it. So yeah, I really think you guys should try them!
