Easter Chocolate Eggs

I want to make a parenthesis on my Maternity posts to talk to you about one of my favorite traditions: Easter Mona. Here in Catalonia we call it “La Mona de Pascua”

It’s a normal cake, sometimes with custard sometimes not, and a big chocolate egg with some fluffy chicken and colorful feathers.

Is not celebrated in all Spain. The tradition is found on Murcia, Valencia, Catalonia, Aragon and Castilla la Mancha.

Lately, a little toy is added to the cake. I always add an animal for my kids. This year I will be adding a two unicorns. One for my boy and other for my little girl who loves horse.

Happy International No Diet Day

Is an annual celebration for body acceptance, including fat acceptance and body shape diversity. Experts talk about the danger of dieting because almost all people regain two-thirds of the weight they lose within five years. They prefer to promote healthy lifestyle.

The first International No Diet Day was celebrated in the UK in 1992 by feminist Mary Evans Young. Feminist groups in other countries around the globe have started to celebrate International No Diet Day, especially in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Israel, Denmark, Sweden and Brazil.

Beauty Routine

As yesterday I was talking about diversity and makeup for all kind of skins. Today, I’m going to talk about my skin care routine. You will find it really simple!

  1. Cleansing your skin with a gentle soap depending on your type of skin, apply it gently on your skin and wash it with abundant water.
  2. Moisturizing with a good cream or oil
  3. Toner with a cotton pad and pass it over your face.

If you take this routine your skin will look perfect with time.
