...Who can help me out? What song is this? Please re-post and spread the word. Finder gets a reward! And obviously I am not the only one searching for that song. *g* Thanks, folks!
Hey friends!
The Angel is going into winter break and coming back in the beginning of 2012. Have a merry Christmas everybody!
Yeah, baby! It's the season for cinnamon rolls. Not really winter, but not fall anymore either. Perfect! I love these when they are still slightly warm with a coffee and a good book to go along.
As a perfect read while eating a
Oh, and check out my apron. It was a three-day-sewing project, but totally worth it. I love the fabrics and yes, it's a total coincidence that my sweater and nail polish match the pattern of the fabrics. Yeah, who's going to believe that?!
I am a huge fan of magnetic bookmarks. They stay in place, don't tear the pages and they don't make me forget, where I stopped reading. (Obviously, cause they are bookmarks.)
I just placed a lovely order at a German online shop and got myself these wonderful bookmarks, which warm my anglophile heart. How do you like them?
Do you use bookmarks? If yes, what kind of bookmarks do you prefer? Magnetic or classical ones? Or do you just put your book on a table upside down? Do you even fold the upper corner of page? Please say no! *g* Let us know!
Last night there was one of my favorite movies of all times on TV and I just had to watch. Have you seen The Guardian? No? You absolutely should. And I am not just sayin' that cause you might catch a glimpse at Ashton Kutcher half naked. *g* It's such a wonderful movie, makes you laugh & cry and show respect to these amazing folks at the US Coast Guard. Really, check it out.

Remember, remember the fifth of November,
gunpowder, treason and plot,
I know of no reason why gunpowder treason
should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes,
’twas his intent
to blow up the King and the Parliament.
Three score barrels of powder below,
Poor old England to overthrow:
By God’s providence he was catch’d
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, make the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
Hip hip hoorah!

Eating healthy and eating 'good stuff' was and still is a struggle for me in a learning process, that will always go on. I feel like I have never learned to make good choices when it came to eating, so I had to teach myself throughout my adult years.
As long as I can think, I am struggling with my weight. It goes up and down and up again. I am good at losing weight, but as soon as I do not take good care about my eating, my weight detonates.
And then, there were migraines. Heavy migraines. Those, which make you stay in bed and wish you were dead. After writing into my diary, what I did, ate and drank on migraine days, I figured out that food and drinks had a huge impact on my headaches.
This summer, I decided to do something for me, for my body and soul. I am in my early thirties, right? I have a kid and I should be able to move my body for a game of soccer or long walks in fall. So, I had to change something.
First of all, I cut off junk food and sweats. Not completely, but most of it. More greens and fresh products helped me lose weight. I totally avoid artificial sweetener, cause that helps me to get rid of migraines. Add some pilates and yoga workout and here's the new me. Minus 28lbs. So far. I hope to make that more in the next months. And minus these heavy migraines. Woohoo for that, too!
It's easy as that? Nope. I repeat my daily mantras several times a day:
- Make good choices.
- Eat healthy.
- Buy quality.
- Enjoy your meals.
You know what really inspired me? Jamie Oliver's way of cooking. Regional & seasonal products. Add passion and a feeling for the product and for what you're doing. Have fun while preparing something good for you and the people you love. I totally recommend Jamie's cook books, especially this one, Jamie at Home. Oh, how I love this book. It's inspiring and easy and oh so yummie.
And in case, you are in the US, you may wanna check out this interview with Jamie and Jilian Michaels. It's very true what Jamie has to say and as I know that lots of my readers do have kids, it might be something you are interested in. Have fun reading and cooking!
Love and hugs to the gang out there, Sanna
P.S. I still suck at soccer. But at least I join the game. That's what it's all about, right?
