Cuddling with my niece | Travel Thursday

Hello everyone!

       Welcome back to Travel Thursday. I missed a week in between, I don't know if you guys noticed but I didn't post for a week. Even though, its summer break I'm still pretty busy with studies. I am taking two summer classes which are super intense same course material of a 16 weeks class is comprised to a 8 weeks summer course. I am not complaining though, I really enjoy the classes it's just the fast pace which keeps me on my feet. I was ill all last week and usually when I'm sick I barely give any care to it but this time at first I didn't bother to take rest or to take medicine and pushed through studies but the less I cared more sick I got. I had fever for few days and then later on had fever, cough and cold which was super annoying. I had to take rest in order to feel better. I am finally doing well now and back at my routines. Make sure to tune in for post every Thursday and Sundays as per usual.

         

January 2nd 2016

       Let's get on with India trip stories. The day after New Years was spent pretty chilled. I went to visit my cousins house and I almost spent all day with them because, the second wedding parties were going to start from Saturday and I knew that, I wouldn't be able to give time to everyone when in weddings. In the morning, my cousin Sim brought me a Dairy Milk Fruit and Nut and a beautiful key chain from Paris such a great start. I had breakfast and later on went to my cousin's house to spent the afternoon but I pretty much ended up spending time using my phone because, my cousin sisters went out for invitation and they took forever to come back. In the evening, I went to my Grandma's house and I got to spent time with my baby niece. She was pretty busy opening up her candies but I had a nice evening cuddling her and taking care of her. I went home to sleep and that was the end of this day. 

Next up, second wedding party pictures coming soon.

Acai Bowl | Food Recipe

Hello Guys!

       Today, I am going to share a very special recipe with you all. If you guys remember, I posted a picture of an acai bowl in my first blog post. Finally today, this recipe made its way to the blog. I am going to share one of my favorite breakfasts recipe which, is an Acai bowl. A super food all the way from Brazil. It's not just a healthy breakfast bowl but its very flavorful. It literally taste like an ice cream. Who wouldn't like to have ice cream for breakfast? If you are anything like me and if you like having something sweet this bowl is perfect for you. Acai bowl is basically a thick smoothie which is topped by banana's, berries, nuts and whatever your heart desires. When I'm on the go, I like to make a smoothie instead of a bowl. When you have a little more time on your hands acai bowl is the way to go especially for spring and summer.

       There is no particular way of preparing your bowl. Here is how I like to make mine. I buy frozen Acai packs from whole foods. I like to add one and half banana and a handful of blueberries. Couple ice cubes and a pack of Truvia. I like using all natural sweeteners but,you can use whatever you prefer. For the liquid, I used half cup of almond milk and half cup of acai juice. Blend it all together in a mixer and you should have a serving of two thick acai bowl ready. I like being creative and decor my bowl. I used blueberries, half a banana, strawberries, kiwi, almonds, dark chocolates and sweetened coconut flakes. Drizzle some honey on top and your done. I also enjoy using a mason jar to enjoy my delicious acai. To make a smoothie just add double the amount of liquid. I am no professional when it comes to cooking but, buying food from outside can get very expensive. So, I like to do my own research and recreate things on my own. I hope it will help you guys to create something new as well. Good luck! 

Ingredients 

1. Two Bananas

2. Four to five ice cubes

3. Liquid of your choice

4. Strawberries

5. Blueberries

6. Sweetener

7. Kiwi

8. Almonds

9. Frozen berry pack

10.Coconut fakes

11. Dark chocolate

I hope you guys enjoyed this recipe. If you make it yourself tag me in your pictures. I would love to see them. Until next time, Keep hustling for your dreams Xo, Jessi.

New years in India | Travel Thursday

December 31st and January 1st 2016
         Last day of the year is a great day to reflect to pause and look back. I spent the entire day home with family and went for a midnight New Years mass. It was very dark outside and my cousin and I were kinda scared to walk alone and we were running late as well. My uncle and his wife were driving on their bike and thankfully they saw us and they were kind enough to accompany us to the church. After the mass was over, I went over to my friend's house. We ordered some Chinese take out and enjoyed talking all night. Early morning, I got home went around in the village wishing everybody a Happy New year! For lunch, we were invited over at my mama's house (Mom's brother). Thanks to mami for cooking an amazing lunch. I played with my cousins on the swings for a while and then took an unplanned nap for almost 4 hours. Later on, I hung out with grandma went to their village and watched the sports tournament that they had and soon got home. I was craving some coffee and biscuits so, I went out and brought it and my uncle made a cup of brewed coffee for me. It tasted super good and it was my first cup of coffee on this trip. It was uncle and aunty's wedding anniversary we celebrated a bit. Later on, I wanted to sit down at night and plan for the year but, I couldn't so I just decided to take in every day as it came and enjoyed my last two weeks in India. More New years adventures and pictures from the second wedding of the season will be up next Thursday. See you then!

Spring trend 3 - Cold shoulders | Fashion

Hello guys!

       I'm sorry that I couldn't get this up on Sunday. I was busy studying and later on, I faced some technical issues so here, I'm posting this on a Tuesday night in between my study breaks trying to manage everything at once. I am so happy that, I'm finally able to share trend 3 with you all. This spring Cold shoulders and Off Shoulders are super trendy. To me Off shoulders are a little daring to wear but, they look great on every body type and perfect to beat the heat. I opt for Shoulders more because, I feel more comfortable in them. After all comfort over everything. Trends come and go but, it's very important to be true to your style. If your wearing something and aren't comfortable in it. It will show on your face and plus, there is no point to own something is your closet which you don't completely love. I kept this look very modern and professional. I wore a pair of my white dress pants instead of just wearing jeans. I wore a statement neck piece in gold on which, I have been getting tons of compliments. This gold neck piece looks very on Indian outfits as well. I am wearing Kate Diamond Etch Cuff by Gorjana a beautiful 18k Gold statement piece from my Rocksbox I am absolutely in love with this piece I wear it every single day. 

        A bright colored cold shoulder top with statement pieces and a pair of white dress pants is super trendy this spring. I hope you guys enjoyed this trend. Trend 4 will be up this Sunday. Until next time, keep hustling for dreams. Xo, Jessi.
