GADGETS


I want to share with you three gadgets; let’s see what you think about them.

The first one is I LOCK YOU. This is a safety anti theft device. We wear our whole life inside our bags!! Unfortunately I've seen some bag thieves in Barcelona, and it isn't nice! So this object can be very useful to sit in a terrace, bar, or going carefree everywhere.

There are different versions (silver, black, gold ...), find it in on the page I LOCK YOU, and also in Vinçon these days, both in the Passeig de Gràcia St store and in the online store.

You will notice that it isn’t cheap, about 29 Euros, but you know, as I say, you can live without gadgets, but they can make your life easier.


The second object surprised me, it’s a pot designed specifically to be hang upside down! It is watered from the bottom and had to be hang with a steel cable.







You can find it on the online store Gnomes.






Finally, these world and cities maps I've seen in Vinçon. Maps are printed on a piece of thick felt. It includes some special needles to put wherever you want.

It's beautiful and the price, I don’t remember it exactly, but I found it  very appropriate.

You can take a look on the website of the creators: Palomar.


That's all :)

IN MY CITY: MUD 2013


MUD (Músiques Disperses) is an international festival of neo-folk music, held every year in my city, Lleida.  



From 8 to 22 March you have a good opportunity to discover new artists and watch them play live, such as these: 










Visit their site www.musiquesdisperses.com for more info.

NO WEDDINGS

Just because it’s very cold outside and I'm longing for summer days, and beautiful things like weddings, I leave you a collection of photos of wedding dresses. All of them follow more or less the same style, simple but beautiful ... This year I have no weddings, which makes me sad, because I love weddings! Someone wants to invite me?!

MONDAY NEEDS MUSIC

Hi, how was your weekend? Mine was cold. We even saw a little snow on Saturday morning, but the sun and the wind made it fade so quickly.

I'm still in a strange mood. Sometimes I want to kill someone, but do not panic, at the moment I got it under control. At the moment...


We Have a Band



 When Saints Go Machine



Have a nice day!

UNDERWATER

What a week...  
There are days when reality crushes me (even if I try to ignore the media news) and I don't feel like flying at all. So today, waiting for better times, instead of flying people we go to the other side and we sink in the water, with Elena Kalis.







These pictures and more on her website www.elenakalisphoto.com/

Have a lovely weekend!

RUNNING IN THE USA

For the running fans, I bring you a compilation of the most crowded and fun racings. They are all sited in the U.S.,  a good reason to travel there!

It doesn’t matter if you like running or not, The Color Run can be a great experience to share with family and friends. The idea is simple, riders must wear a white t-shirt, and during the route colored dust is sprinkled over them.

Every kilometer has a color: the 1st km is yellow, 2nd km is blue, 3rd km is green, 4th km is pink, and finally 5td km is "Extravaganza" color.

In addition, hikers and runners can get closer to some special areas where volunteers and sponsors sprinkle them with different dust colors.

So what are you waiting for?! Oh, and don’t forget your camera!



The Mud Run  is an obstacle course quite attractive to share with friends. But The Ultimate Mud Run goes further: it gets in complete and deep darkness.


However, the 25 obstacles are illuminated with neon lights, as well the way is indicated with fire and with quite innovative lightings.




The Hot Chocolate 15K race has a final prize. After running the 15 kilometers, a chocolate fondue, hot chocolate and chocolate products from different sponsors will be waiting for you. Mmmm ... Chocolate!








Held in the "Land of Oz", AKA the Garmin world headquarters in Olathe, Kansas, is the Oz Marathon, a wickedly fun race through the streets and trails of eastern Kansas.

You can dress yourself with the Cinderella dress and Pocahontas braids to run the Walt Disney World Marathon. Once you win, you may be so lucky as to receive a Micky Mouse or Donald Duck Finisher Medal!



And if you're looking for a race for adults, Disney offers you the Wine & Dine Half Marathon, a race through Disney parks that ends in an exclusive after-hours coinciding with the International Wine & Food Festival.


Lululemon is a great brand of clothing and footwear, which organizes the SeaWheeze, a half marathon sited in Vancouver. It’s not just a race, because it lasts all day. Start practicing yoga at sunrise, then the half marathon, a shower, and a concert. Finally a new session of yoga.

And finally, the North Pole Marathon. It runs entirely on frozen water (of the Arctic Ocean).





Well, I hope you decide to travel and run if you like!

POTATOES AND SPINACHS


This is the other recipe I made ​​two weekends ago. It’s easy to make  and you can add or change the ingredients as you want.

I needed:

1 big potato per person

1 bunch of spinach per person

Breadcrumbs

Grated cheese

1 egg

Olive oil, salt and pepper


How to:

Boil the peeled potatoes cut in them in small pieces. After about 15 minutes boiling add the washed and drained spinach and leave it boiling 5 minutes more. Then draw it from the pot and let it drain. At the same time I boiled the egg and grated the breadcrumbs and cheese.


Mash potatoes and spinach (with a fork, not a blender) and add salt and pepper and a good dash of olive oil. Now we have the puree ready. Put it into a tray able for the oven.  Put a layer of bread crumbs and cheese.


Put the tray in the oven to grill. Finally spread the grated egg above the gratin and a pinch of salt.



Bon appetit to all of you!

Marina
