This Week

Geia sas!

This week has been stressful but had some good points, my mom & i made a lentil vegetable soup & a Portuguese white bean soup in which we used this lacinato kale.

I love the leaves, they're so pretty & unique to others!

(yummy too)

We also bought Bragg Liquid Aminos from our health food store, we've heard about it for a while so decided to try out the spray. Turns out its pretty good in things like our lentil soup.

That was so good! Its nice to have a little extra protein too.

I've needed a lot of yoga this week for stress relief also.

Looking forward to a better next week & hopefully my weekend of work goes by quickly!

Loving June; Birthday, World Cup, Yoga, & more

Geia sas!! So it's officially June; my favorite month! They say your favorite month is usually your birthday month, well i don't know about that but mine is for sure! My birthday is June 7th & i'm excited, though i'm sure in a few years i'll stop being so happy about it lol. (but i hope not!)

Also this month is the FIFA World Cup; June 11th. Now i must tell you i am a hugeee Cristiano Ronaldo (CR7/CR9 )fan, who usually plays for Spain's Real Madrid but for the World Cup since he IS Portuguese he plays for Portugal under # 7. (His # in Real Madrid is 9)

So the 3 teams i'll be watching are Portugal, Greece, & USA. (Though i fear our beloved USA won't win let's hope they get far!)

So another player i'm a fan of is Mixalis Sifakis, who will be on Greece's national team as goalkeeper & normally plays for Aris Thessaloniki. So here are a few pictures of them in action to represent the occasion.

I couldn't resist this one lol *insert cheesy grin*




Now onto yoga! This month i am working really hard on doing more of my yoga so to celebrate that here is a yoga pose i enjoy. This is Sphinx pose & its very relaxing i find & gives you a nice stretch. It is of course called Sphinx because you lay like a Sphinx, observe:

There are so many more great things about June that i'm looking forward to, like swimming & volleyball. Just being able to relax from college & knowing it's just the beginning of summer is really nice too!

Thanks for stopping by & have a great rest of the week everyone!
Let me know who you want to win the World Cup or something you love about June!
