Chocolate and Kinky boots ♥

Today I went to the gym for the first time in AGES!
I was really surprised that I could run a treadmill for 20 minutes with no stop and work all the machines for 1 hour! I know I don't have the best condition ever but at least I'm not that bad ♥

So I'm finally doing something about this. For the rest of those weeks I live I stopped my fathers fat food terror and will finally eat the food I want (and like ♥) I am so tired of traditional Swedish food that I could kill (almost) Potatoes, sausages, mincemeat and cream in any size and way.

So this is next weeks menu:

Monday: Chicken breast with Quinoa
Tuesday: Potato soup
Wednesday: Mushroom Omelette
Thursday: Chicken Satay with peanut sauce
Friday: Spaghetti with beans and paprika
Saturday: Minestrone soup
Sunday: GI- mincemeat sauce and pasta

This sounds really good to me ♥ I always eat a good breakfast and in between the larger meals I eat something small such as fruit! A banana is awesome after working out ♥

Todays breakfast: Chrisp bread with a little butter on, a glass of orange juice, tea and an apple.

What do you like to eat for breakfast? I think I would love some yoghurt with Mango! I love mango ♥♥♥

Also I love making sweets and bake things so this is my latest project:


Chocolate with pistachio nuts

Time to make: 15 minutes

What you need to make this wonderful thing:

100 grams of dark chocolate
1/4 cup hacked pistachio nuts
1/4 cup hacked almonds
1/4 cup Bran flakes

How to make this:

1. Hack the almonds and pistachio nuts, make sure they are roughly hacked.
Save about 1 tablespoon from each to use as decoration on top of.

2. Melt the chocolate together with the hacked nuts in a water-bath for some minutest in microwave and crush the bran flakes in the end of the process. Pour the melted chocolate on baking paper and sprinkle the nuts and some bran flakes on top. Let it rest like that until its hard!

ENJOY!




Kinky boots

Another one of those wonderful movies I love. This one is Brittish and most wonderful!



Some short facts:
From: 2005
Language: English
Genre: Comedy, drama, music.
My rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

About:
Charles Price may have grown up with his father in the family shoe business, but he never thought that he would take his father's place. Yet, the untimely death of his father places him in that position, only to learn that Price & Sons Shoes is failing.

While in despair at his failed attempts to save the business, Charles has a chance encounter with the flamboyant drag queen cabaret singer, Lola. Her complaints about the inadequate footwear for her work combined with one of Charles' ex-employees, Lauren, leads to a suggestion to change the product to create a desperate chance to save the business: make men's fetish footwear.

Lola is convinced to be their footwear designer and the transition begins. Now this disparate lot must struggle at this unorthodox idea while dealing both the prejudice of the staff, Lola's discomfort in the small town and the selfish manipulation of Charles' greedy fiancée who cannot see the greater good in Charles' dream.

My opinion: Once again a movie about being different, being someone who society find different. It's a cheeky but fun movie with it's own message. Fight for what you believe in, different or not. The movie is over all cute and I don't think there is part that falls flat really. The opening scene with the little boy dancing in red stilettos are so cute and so are what is following even if some parts of it really is killing me on the inside. Stop hiding, be brave. Believe in who you are and what you do.

Yes I would say it's one of those movies that makes you feel really good or at least happy after watching it.

If you love drama, humour, glitter and glamour. Than this is the movie for you! It sure is a movie for me ♥



Take care all of you ♥♥♥

Good morning ♥

Its a new day today and the clock is telling me it's 13:40 (1:40pm)!
Last night got a little late but I can't help watching movies for a little too late ♥

What are your favourite movie?
One of mine are 200 Pounds beauty (미녀는 괴로워)



Some short facts:
From: 2006
Language: Korean (there is English subtitles to find)
Genre: Comedy, Romance, Drama.
My rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

About:
Ha-na is the famous Korean pop singer. She suffers from having extremely poor self-esteem, as she has been ignored because of her appearance. At last, she makes the decision of a lifetime to have full-body plastic surgery.

My opinion: At first I tought that this movie could be a little touchy to talk about since it's very shallow at times and speak of what the public most of the time consider being right or wrong (fat/slim, beautiful/ugly) but I belive it bring up very important message. This movie talks about themes such as the superficial view of the world, how beauty becomes an obsession, how the most beautiful heart can hide inside a bigger girl, how people will give everything to a girl with beautiful face.

I believe that inner beauty is truly important and more important than the shallow one that we see of the most. Don't take me wrong, I love to watch beautiful pictures of gals in their curly hair, long beautiful nails but it's also important to not forget that there is a heart too ♥

This movie, about Kang Ha-na, the big girl, her heart, her dreams of that Sang-jun will look at her, love her , is really loving, cute, teary and wonderful. This movie made me laugh so much, made me cry even and reminded me of how cruel and shallow the world can be but also how empty some people are.

I truly recommend this movie!!
To tell the truch I'm more of a Scary movie kind of girl ^_^;; ♥






OKAY! I'm off to eat some food ♥
(I need a better camera than my phone T__T)
