Stay calm and eat fruits!

Hi

Finally is Friday and we are going to spend more time at home with our family. 

Do you want a better way to spend your precious time together than eating avocados with red fruits?  We all know the benefits of eating fruits, so please, accept my suggestion and be happy, thin and healthy. Mix the avocados with sweet milk and mix the red fruits with a little bite of sugar. Do not use any sugar in case of diabetic issues. Then serve as you want or as you see in the picture. 

Happy weekend,

Flor

Lifestyle: How to fight loneliness

Hi, there

Nobody needs to be alone. Everybody has somebody. Follow my tip and let me know your new life. No, you don´t need to spend a lot of money. Sometimes, simple things are more appreciated than other things or expensive things. Just do my desert, find a good movie or program on tv or something to talk about and invite your beloved one. Do somthing! It can be your sister, your son, your employer, your dream man, your bestfriend, your colleague or anyone you want to. Remember: the most important thing is your intention to share moments, simple and good moments like your yogurt with fruits. Repeat the process to keep loneliness away!

Good luck,

Flor

Illustration: The Still Pretty Girl!

Thanks God is Friday:-)

Did I told you about my love for illustration? Oh, yes...I am a multifaceted woman:-)

Who said hair frames the face? Not in this blog, not with this young woman, fighting a breast cancer. From my point of view she can use my brand new design of make up using neon colors and a crocheted chic white flower in her bald head to become the prettiest girl on the block.

Take a look to the process:

1. I have a ritual to design and arranging all colored pencils by shade is the first step. In the meantime I can imagine, visualize what I am going to do.

2. Then I prepare only the material I will need at the moment.

3. Starting my "STILL A PRETTY GIRL"...

4...Finishing with a touch of chic crochet.

5. The Pretty Lady started to smile and said: "I really need to find a very nice frame".

6. I said: "Anyway, Still a Pretty Lady, with frame or without a hair frame".:-). Remember to fight cancer InStyle!

7. A close up to the chic crocheted white flower.

To all women in the world, fighting cancer now, I wish you all the best and get well soon with a flower in your beautiful bald head.

Still Smiling, 

Flor
