After 1 year, me and Habibi split

27/05/2015


I don't really know how to write this post, but I feel like I have to talk about it. It 's a very deep part of my life at the moment, so there's no way I can keep going without bringing this to the blog.

Me and Habibi have been always on and off, lots of issues going on, and it actually came to an end.
I am crying as I write this post, because I am not sure how I'm going to do through this.

Post update - too many things going on

24/05/2015


Hi everyone!

I'm writing to let you know that in the next weeks I will probably fail to update the blog and even the social media as I'm going through a hard time. I'm moving out from my place next Sunday, so I have too many things to worry about; also my relationship with Habibi is seeing an end, although I'm still fighting against it. He is going back to Tunisia, and I can't handle all this pressure and the idea of losing him forever. As illegal, if he goes out from the UK, he won't be able to return in case he regrets leaving me.


Wishlist - Adidas Superstar Supercolor

20/05/2015


Please stop, you beauties!

I'm usually not that much of a spender, but for these ones I would definitely spend my last pennies.

Since that day when I was walking down the shopping centre and I happened to look inside Foot Locker's store and saw those colourful Adidas Superstar,  I have been deeply in love. There were 5 or 6 of them from the top to the bottom of the shelves. Pink, yellow, blue, green... I remember seeing a full rainbow in front of me.

Sunday is Cake Day! #12

17/05/2015


He cuts a slice of cake and...
...tcha-ran,
SURPRISE!

This week I wanted to try something very special.
I saw this cake book with "surprises" inside. Basically you do a sandwich-like cake and work the layers in a way that when you cut a slice in the final cake, a specific design comes out of it.

Life lately

15/05/2015


Life in the past weeks hasn't been making it easy for me.

Me and Habibi have been talking about moving outside London, perhaps Manchester or Liverpool. Definitely cheaper and easier to have a deep breath without having to excuse myself. Honestly, and as I said before, I'm not in love with London anymore. Nice for a single person who doesn't have a future to worry about and has all an availability to go out and enjoy this huge city. For me it's time to look for a better place for myself in a less crowded environment, where I can focus in building my future.

Also Habibi had the stupid idea to leave his job 2 weeks ago, out of nowhere! He is illegal, so it's not that easy for him to get another job. Until this very moment he didn't find anything, so here we are with no future to be seen.

Cereal Killer Cafe

14/05/2015


Do you enjoy your bowl of cereals every morning?
It is one of the sacred moments of your day?
Ok, are you in general crazy about cereals?

Then this is the place for you.

Cereal Killer Cafe is the dream of the twins Alan and Gary Keery, who opened the project to the public very recently on 10th December 2014. Already a success, I would say.
It offers over 120 different types of cereal from all around the world, 30 different varieties of milk and 20 different toppings.

I was amazed when I first got in this place. Cereal boxes all over the walls, the menu presented in a full black wall with this weird font-style, a complete alternative decoration that keeps your attention at all moments - I did even find a drawer in the table where I was sitting! Exciting! 

Visiting my family in pics 4/4

12/05/2015


In continuation of the last post Visiting my family in pics 3/4, here's the pictures of my 4th and last day back home with my family.
I had to be in the airport by 4:30pm, get out from home at 3:30pm, so there wasn't too much to do really.

Basically in the morning we had a complete family breakfast; after I went to buy some souvenirs in the city centre with my mom; as soon as I finished my shopping, we headed to the Carnival (a full month of attractions!) to have some Hot Dog for lunch, something my sisters love to do - we were supposed to go the evening before, but it was raining as hell, so we had to go during the day, that's the reason why it looks so empty in the pictures.
At 4:30pm I was arriving to the airport. Destiny: London.

Sunday is Cake Day! #11

10/05/2015


Holarey!

Cupcakes, who doesn't love them?

This week I decided to try one of my favourite flavours - coconut. And which one goes better with fresh coconut? Chocolate.
So instead of going for the usual combination of chocolate sponge with coconut frosting, I went for the opposite: fresh and sweet coconut sponge, with that amazing chocolate cream on top, decorated with tiny white & pink sugar flowers.

I LOVE fresh coconut flavour, and it's definitely something to try more often.

Have a look at the pictures of these simple, yet delicious cupcakes.

Visiting my family in pics 3/4

06/05/2015


Hi everyone!

In continuation of the post Visiting my family in pics - Part 2/4, here's the photos of my third day back home. We didn't have many plans for this Monday 05/04/2015, so we basically woke up with this beautiful sun light and took it slowly and nicely. We had a delicious breakfast (and I had one of the cupcakes as well) and we went for a midday walk next to the river, stopping by this little Café next to this tiny tiny beach where I got burned just by staying under the sun for 2 hours - wasn't I so used to the sun before?!

After this we had for lunch one of the most delicious plates (a variation of a very traditional dish from my country) made by my mom - which includes codfish and french fries - followed by some Baklava sweets that I brought home from London just for my family to try as we never saw any like that around.

I distributed some presents that I brought from London, including this cute shirt saying "Little Man" and this Ninja Turtle hat for my nephew, who looked SO CUTE with it on.
We went out in the evening for a walk somewhere else, but unfortunately there's no pictures to show it. So you might not believe me...

Anyway, enjoy the pictures and please leave a comment bellow! x

Sunday is Cake Day! #10 - the compilation

03/05/2015


Hello little fellows!

Today is the 10th week of Sunday is Cake Day! Every week there's a new cake.
So for this tenth edition of this TAG I thought it would be nice to make a compilation of the last 9 weeks. It's nice to see all the work I've been doing just for fun.

I'm a complete amateur in this baking world. 10 weeks ago I baked and decorated my very first cake. The passion invaded my soul and I started trying this and trying that, learning and developing my skills.
Now I love it and it's imperative to do it once in a while.

Well, I hope you enjoy this and please let me know what you think by commenting bellow.

Dear Instagram - April '15

Following last month's post Dear Instagram - March '15, here we go with the pictures I shared during April. This was the month that I travelled back home to see my family for a few days, although I didn't post proper pictures yet.
You can also find some pictures of what I baked and of my fruity breakfasts, together with a few pics of this and that.

I hope in May I'll be able to share more and more with you guys!
