Hoje esteve um dia tão bom que não consegui ficar em casa! Andei a deambular pelo Zomato, uma das minhas apps preferidas, à procura de novos sítios e houve um cantinho que chamou a minha atenção - Tease.

Alô! Pois é, estive uns dias afastada do blog porque fui passar o ano a Barcelona, uma cidade que considero praticamente a minha segunda casa. Este ano tive a sorte de lá ir festejar a passagem de ano. Diverti-me imenso e consegui descansar a cabeça durante uns dias, era mesmo o que eu estava a precisar! Deixo-vos aqui algumas das fotografias que tirei, se bem que se me seguem no Instagram tiveram a oportunidade de ver a maior parte delas.
Barcelona é uma cidade bastante grande, perfeita para passear e fazer compras (eheh). Uma das coisas que mais gosto nesta cidade é sem dúvida a arquitetura, que pode tanto apelar ao simples como ao complexo, sem nunca perder aquele toque clássico que a caracteriza. Por vezes, quando menos esperamos, deparamo-nos com as obras de Gaudí que são simplesmente incríveis, outra das coisas que simbolizam esta cidade.
Facilmente nos deixamos encantar pelas ruas, pelos cafés e, claro, pelos restaurantes de Tapas que estão por todo o lado e que eu adoro!! Apesar de já lá ter ido umas quantas vezes nunca me canso de andar horas e horas, pois é como se fosse sempre a primeira vez - o encanto nunca desaparece.
O sítio onde eu costumo ficar é o Barrio de Sarrià, um bairrinho pequenino e encantador que se assemelha a uma aldeia. Todos se conhecem, tem todas as lojas necessárias, o ambiente é super pacato e nem parece que estamos dentro de uma cidade tão movimentada! É tão bom acordar e ir buscar pão acabadinho de fazer, ou simplesmente ir beber um chocolate quente ao café italiano a 3 passos de casa. Adoro!

E vocês, já foram a Barcelona? O que acharam da cidade? Se não, podem sempre falar comigo para vos dar algumas sugestões de modo a conseguirem aproveitar a cidade ao máximo.

Como foi a vossa passagem de ano? Contem-me!

Desejo-vos a todas um excelente ano 2015, que seja melhor que o outro, e espero que tenham entrado com o pé direito! xx



Hey! So I've been absent for some days because I spent New Year's Eve in Barcelona, a city that I consider my second home. This year I was lucky enough to celebrate the arrival of 2015 there and I had so much fun! Plus I was able to rest a bit, something I really needed to do. I'm showing you some of the pictures I took, though if you're following me on Instagram you've had the opportunity to see great part of them.
Barcelona is quite big and it's absolutely perfect to go sightseeing and shopping (hehe). One of the things I like the most about this city is definitely its architecture - it can easily gather the simple and the complex, never losing the classic touch that is so characteristic. Plus, when we least expect it, we come across Gaudí's art which is absolutely amazing!
This city has the power to easily conquer your heart: the streets, the caffès and of course the Tapas restaurants that are everywhere and that I love so much! Although I've been in Barcelona quite a few times I can never get enough of walking for endless hours, because it always seems like it's the first time - that city charm never fades out.
The place where I usually stay is in Barrio de Sarrià, an adorable little neighborhood that resembles a village. Everyone knows each other, it has all the stores one needs, the environment is super peaceful and quiet and it doesn't seem like we're in such a bustling city!! It's so good to wake up and go get some freshly baked bread, or simply grab a cup of hot chocolate at that italian caffè 3 steps away from home. I just love it!

What about you guys? Have you ever been to Barcelona? What did you think of it? If not, you can always talk to me so that I can give you some suggestions in order for you guys to enjoy the city as much as possible.
How was your New Year's Eve?? Let me know!
I wish you all an excellent year of 2015, may it be better than the last one. Hope it all goes well! xx

E pronto, se seguirem estes passinhos vão com certeza ter uma pele muito mais saudável e bonita! Podem encontrar quiosques da Dead Sea Cosmetics no Amoreiras Shopping Center ou visitar o site AQUI.

 Já conheciam a marca? Espero que tenham gostado do post.

Taking care of our skin is not a simple task, but it is essential and it should be part of our daily routine. As you know, our facial skin produces a lot of fat so it will be our main concern for today. I'm here to show you some of the products I use, they're really nice and effective. They're from Dead Sea Cosmetics and they're made of extracts from the Dead Sea, known for bringing countless benefits for our skin. Curiosity made me try them once and, since then, they're among the few cosmetic products I use for skin treatments because their quality is indeed excellent. 

For a good facial skin care, there are 3 steps we need to follow: cleansing, exfoliation and hydration. Cleansing must be done twice a day (when you wake up and before going to sleep) with an appropriate product - I recommend Uriage's Hyséac Cleansing Water - or simply soap and lukewarm water. Exfoliation, as it can damage the skin if you do it too often, must be done 3-4 times a week and I strongly advise you to try this Milky Facial Scrub (2nd picture) -  it's not aggressive, unlike many other scrubs, and that's why we can use it more than once a week. Apply it on your face and neck, always in a circular motion, and remove it using lukewarm water. To finish, apply moisturizing cream to soften your skin: I recommend Uriage's Hyséac Mat, as it isn't too oily and it can also be used before applying makeup. It gives a velvety touch to our skin and makes it more homogeneous.
For the body, we have the scrub (3rd picture), which must be used once a week, and the moisturizing cream (4th picture) that must be applied every day after bathing.

And that's it, if you follow these steps I assure you that your skin will become much more healthy and glowing! You can find these amazing products HERE.

Had you ever heard of this brand before? I hope you have liked the post.
