OOTD: Leather Bootsies!

I feel like a lucky girl! I saw these boots online, but didn't buy them. Then about 2 months later I see them again. They were still there AND on sale!!! I ordered them online and figured I could just return them right away if they didn't look good/fit etc. etc. They arrived and they were perfect! Whoohooo.. these are ALL leather boots and they are sooooooooo cute. I really like that they look a little different. It is not your average leather ugly ass big boot. Cuz that's how I normally feel about winter boots. They look too big, are not sexy whatsoever and are way too expensive as well. These are perfect :-) .. I'm happy xoxo

Outfit of Today: Pink Skirt!

(Grab your sunglasses, cuz I'm showing my legs :-p!)
So, I was twirling yesterday, cuz that is what I regularly do... twirl in my pink skirt lol. I really like the high-waist on skirts, pants, jeans .. anything really. I got this skirt from New Look and it had been hanging in my closet for months. Finally I found the guts to show my ultra white legs and just wear it. Who cares.. just twirl. xoxo

Dinner is served!

Yesterday was the first time I went to the gym after I came back from Abu Dhabi & after my BDay and everything it was also the first day of BACK TO THE CLEAN EATING. I saw a really cute recipe for Turkey&Egg cups on Instagram and I decided to make one today. It is the easiest thing. You heat up the oven to 400 degrees, put some turkey into a cupcake tin/form and pour the egg inside. Bake for 15 minutes and tadaaa.. there you have your Turkey&Egg cup!
 
 
I had some raw spinach (with vinegar) and tilapia (with salt, pepper and italian herbs) with it.

Outfit of Today

Another picture of what I was wearing on my BDay. I really like the top when it is combined a little more classy, like I did in the first pic (hair up, red lips) but I like it like this too. It is more casual.. and perfect for the zoo :-p

Outfit of Today: Birthday Girl

It's my B-Day today! Yayyyyy! I had bought a really cute top in Abu Dhabi and I saved it for today :-). I know it's not the most fun colored piece of clothing I own, but I thought it was supercute. When I smile it looks perfect for the occasion hahah. The middle part is see through and I just love the collar and the pattern. Add lipstick and it looks like you should have been born in a different time period.

Pink Protein Cheesecake Mini's

It's a mouthful.. literally! I have been making these Protein Cheesecakes for a while now, following the recipe of Get Fit - Feel Sexy, and since it is my BDay tomorrow I figured I'd give them a little color :-)


 
I basically always follow the recipe as a basis, but end up puting other ingredients in a lot of the times. For example the nuts in the crust you can replace with any type of nuts you like or any kind you have in your house at the moment. This time I used walnuts and almonds, but I have also used hazelnuts one time. It all turns out delicious. So, for these I have done the following:
 
Crust
 
1/2 cup of walnuts & 1/4 cup of almonds
3/4 cup of dried apricots
2 tbsp warm water
3 tbsp almond flour
 
Cheesecake
 
2 cups of plain greek yoghurt
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 scoops vanilla whey protein
3 tbsp almond flour
1/2 cup of your favorite sweetener
Red food coloring
 
Go to Get Fit - Feel Sexy for instructions! Pay extra attention to 'use a tin with aluminium cupcakes' or use 'silicon ones' like I did.. ahum.. the second time. Otherwise they turn out like this:

Shopping in Abu Dhabi!

I did some shopping while I stayed in Abu Dhabi of course & this is the first thing I want to show you: my RING! I love this ring so so much. It is huge and has black stones in it. I think it looks kind of expensive too which it was obviously..... about 4 dollars lol. I went to this big warehouse called Max. You know, the kind of warehouse where you walk in and you really want to walk out of the same second, cuz the smell of the fabric is just too much. Okay but I didn't, because I wasn't alone. When I got to the accessories I was happy I didn't, because they had so much nice things. I ended up walking out with sunglasses, a bracelet and some gifts for family. I will show you all later! This ring, however, is what I loved most. For 4 dollars man!

Healthy Lunch: Black Bean Salad Wrap!

I have been very creative with my lunches lately. I want to eat healthy, but eat good too. For this Black Bean Wrap I mixed one egg yolk (boiled) with 1/2 tbsp of light Mayonaisse and 1 tbsp of Greek Yoghurt. Put in some chives, black beans and 1 tbsp of cider vinegar. Mash it up a little bit and add the egg white. Add salt & pepper and put on a Romaine Lettuce leaf. Looks good doesn't it?!
This way you don't need any bread and you get in a good amount of fiber and protein. If you find a way to substitute the mayonaisse, do so. Or just use greek yoghurt only. You can also use a different kind of vinegar. Be creative :-)

Outfit of Today: Jumpsuit!

I am the kind of person that really loves jumpsuits. Some people think they are hideous and make you look like a sack of potatoes. Well, whatever.. I love them! This is a jumpsuit I got a while ago from Mango. I really like the print and the colors. I'm wearing Steve Madden pumps with it and a bright pink MAC lipstick. If you look like a sack of potatoes putting it together like that, you're doing something wrong lol.

Greetings from Abu Dhabi -

I am writing this from a hotel room in Abu Dhabi, doesn't that sound fabulous?! Lol... It has taken me a little itty bitty longer to write this post than planned, I'm sorry for that. I will be returning home in two days and I honestly can't wait. I want to have my protein shake, my gym sessions and my own cooked food. This little trip hasn't relaxed me a bit. It is one of those trips that opens your eyes to a lot of things in life. Anyways, I love the hotel I'm in. It's tiny, but very very nice. I had never really been to a hotel by myself, so it's quite an experience hahah. I'm getting drinks down at the bar, taking baths, watching movies and ordering roomservice. The best part of my vacation lol. There is also a small gym that I go to for a run every night.
 
 
I have been here now for a total of two weeks. Unfortunately going outside isn't really possible during the day, because it is too hot. The temperature goes up to 108 degrees and it's very moist. It's get in the taxi, get out of the taxi and run into an airconditioned room. I have been to every mall there is here (they are the biggest airconditioned spaces here and they have cinemas, restaurants etc., so no need to go out) and seen most of the 'highlights'. I love going out during sunset. It's the best time of the day here I think. Gives me nice pictures at least :-) 
 
 
The Emirates Palace Hotel & The Boulevard
 
 
I'm about to pack my bags a little bit and I will more than likely order roomservice. Should I get the Liguine Carbonara (with turkey bacon) or the Shepherd's Pie..  hmm dilemma! Might also go walk around a little bit when the sun goes down & watch about three or four movies :-p. Tty later xoxo
