VEGAN BANANA BREAD WITH A CRISPY SIDE

The other day I was about to eat some fresh fruit but I bumped into two super duper ripe black bananas and my plan to eat healthy seemed destroyed! Suddenly Internet came into my mind and I found the perfect "recycle" recipe: a vegan, gluten-free banana bread in which I added some nuts, just because of omega 3 purpose and a crunchy note.

BEING AN AU PAIR

Hello everybody! I know I didn't write anything for a while but here I am! I am not dead(even if I look dead 'cause I have stayed in bed for the last 4 days with a bad flu due a 3-hour-party. What an animal party.).
Something happened anyway during the last about 6 weeks, I have been working as an au pair for like a month in one of the sunniest Spanish city, Almeria! If you don't know what is an au pair, it is basically a nanny who lives with the family of the kids but this kind of job can be done only outside your homeland (a great excuse to travel).

So here I am, in Spain, taking care of two active children, too active for my sore muscles and my not-so-patient attitude but hey, the food is super good, the weather is incredibly warm, I have a new active lifestyle, I have also some night-lifestyle(even if right now I really regret it), Zara and Pull&Bear' clothes are cheaper and so... life is good!

The decision of becoming an au pair has been quick and, actually, a bit reckless. I saw on Facebook that a girl of my highschool was in Germany as a nanny and so I decided to try it too. Yes, that quickly, I didn't waste much time thinking about it actually, which is kinda strange but, whatever, or now or never!
This experience is almost over and I don't know if I am glad or not: in one hand the kids are really annoying and they have been rude with me most of the time but, in the other hand, I met such 2 cute friends, they are really lovely and I am happy to spend time with them and share nice memories!
I still don't know what I will do after Christmas holidays but I guess you will discover it only by reading my blog!

Have a lovely day ❤

CHILL NIGHT ROUTINE

Let's be real, at least once you didn't go out just to stay at home, in pyjamas, and have a movie marathon. Well, my friends, I did it more than once and I finally mastered this art and found the best night rountine - chilled version.

5 GOOD REASONS TO GO TO LJUBLJANA

You might, or might not, have perceive my absence but this time I have a good reason. Yep, I am not lying, I haven't been just sitting on my couch at home, at least not every day. But let's go back to the track... I wasn't here on the blog because I was on holiday again, yay!!!

This time my mother and I opted for a nearer option and we decided to hop on a bus and reach Slovenia and, more precisely, Ljubljana and down below there are the main reason why you should give a try to this small city.

CHERRY CAKE

I don't know about you, but culinary shows are a must in my house. Every evening we watch different kind of shows, but one of my favourites is Bake Off UK. It is a great source for new ideas and, you know cakes are super appealing to watch!
