Roman Holiday { Rome - Italy }

Just before Easter I was lucky enough to visit Rome. I always dreamt to go to Rome because it is one of the world's great art centres. I guess all history lessons at school, lectures at university and lots of documentaries about Roman Empire whetted my appetite to explore the ancient city. Also Vatican - a religious centre of Christianity - a home of mind blowing St Peters' Basilica and Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo.

Just walking around can lead you to the masterpieces by great renaissance and baroque artists. Well, and I think nothing can prepare you to the grandeur of Colosseum.  It stroke me with a huge structure and the ancient history it holds. 

The city of Rome is also a food heaven with hundreds of pizzerias and gelaterias. I ate the best pizza ever and got a glance of the Roman social life. Well like they say: when in Rome do as Romans do!

Hope you like the photos from our trip!

{ Going Green - Making Smoothies }

One of my latest finds is home made smoothies: packed with all lovely goodness and so delicious. This is such a great way to get your 5 a day and stay healthy. It is also a very creative process as you can experiment with lots of different ingredients.

This is today's recipe:

1 celery stick

1 orange

1 avocado

1 kiwi

add some water or natural yoghurt and strawberries to decorate.

Blend all the ingredients with a blender and enjoy straight away!

I am really keen to try more variations and share it with you! 

Have a great week everyone! x

 Green loveliness continues with wilted spinach and pine nuts...

Lightness

I started getting a feeling that my recent days are becoming lighter. Not only because the evenings got longer :) I can notice that its becoming easier for me to get out the door. Just a light jacket and some slip-on shoes, a touch of light make-up and I am ready to go... Also I am craving for some nice spring pastel colours.

My dinners also do not take ages to cook any more :) A bowl of light salad is the most delicious thing at moment.

The only thing I need to get around is to start my running sessions!
