Hey hey</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recently I bought a little box of invisibobble hair rings, I believe this is their winter collection in the colour Winter Punch. Each box costs 4€ and comes with 3 hair rings. You can get it at amazon, ebay, boots and a lot of other places. I'm not writing this review based on this box I bought this week, I have been using invisibobble for over a year, on and off.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Invisibobble isn't a new brand, it has been around for a while, but I feel like a lot of people haven't tried it yet so I'd like to to voice my opinion on whether or not it's worth the investment. Let me start by saying that if you don't know what it is, it's a brand that makes spiral hair ties that are supposed to not leave a trace on your hair (you know when your hair gets a hair tie mark?! Ugh) and not tug on your hair.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I do tend to get a lot of hair tie marks on my hair with conventional hair ties which isn't very appealing since when I want to wear my hair down I have a very clear mark around my hair. With the invisibobble hair ties it doesn't happen at all, unless I put my hair in a ponytail while it's still wet and let it dry like that, but that's normal. When it comes to the no-tugging promise, I'm not completely satisfied. Do bear in mind that it tugs a lot less than normal hair ties, but it's not completely tug-free. This might be because my hair is very thin and on top of that it's layered, which makes it so that the hair tie doesn't have the same grip on all the hair so it tugs on the shorter, layered ones from my hairline.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCQZqxCet0GNUTeudOBAbfujtEMoHJICQHh4fMjaEB0pIvFcJHDaUeVu8a-d97PaTpSZNRIvCpZuO9qA3Lg3rducdkMu7vNwwYGZh2F-y-Ag3mUnn1nw7YI5J7kmKrRqr5C95x4_og11-O/s1600/IMG_20150612_165746.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCQZqxCet0GNUTeudOBAbfujtEMoHJICQHh4fMjaEB0pIvFcJHDaUeVu8a-d97PaTpSZNRIvCpZuO9qA3Lg3rducdkMu7vNwwYGZh2F-y-Ag3mUnn1nw7YI5J7kmKrRqr5C95x4_og11-O/s640/IMG_20150612_165746.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
But the tugging doesn't bother me that much, it isn't very dramatic. There is a bigger problem I have with the brand. The hair ties are tiny and thin, which makes them very fragile. It has happened more than once that after a couple of weeks they break in the little place where both ends were glued together. Now I wouldn't mind this at all if they cost 50 cents each, but at 4€ a box it's quite an investment to have to replace them after a few weeks or a month if they break.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All in all, I don't feel like it's 100% a worthy investment, since it's not that amazing when compared to other cheaper alternatives - I have a knock-off that I bought for 30 cents and although less delicate and aesthetically appealing it does it's job very well for a fraction of the price.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That said, I do get very excited with their collection launches and if there's a colour I really like, I buy a little box. I believe that's the biggest appeal with Invisibobble, their cute and delicate hair ties as opposed to how better they are when compared to other less expensive options.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you want cute adorable hair ties that come in a huge variety of colours to choose from your money is well spent. If you're in it just for the promises the brand makes (traceless, no tugging) I would recommend not getting it because then you can pay less for a knockoff and get the same results.</div>

Olá</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Comprei uma pequena caixa dos elásticos invisibobble da colecção de Inverno na cor Winter Punch - um bordeaux muito bonito. Cada caixa traz 3 elásticos, custa 4€ e vende-se em farmácias e parafarmácias (também podem encontrar online). Não estou a escrever esta review apenas na minha utilização desta caixa, já uso invisibobble há mais de um ano e tenho uma opinião formada sobre o artigo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Não é uma marca novidade, certamente já ouviram falar ou já viram os elásticos à venda na farmácia ou a Wells, mas eu tenho reparado que ainda há muita gente que procura reviews e por isso decidi dar também a minha opinião tendo em base a minha experiência. Para quem não sabe o que é, são uns elásticos em forma de espiral feitos de plástico que prometem segurar bem o cabelo sem repuxar ou deixar marcas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tendo o cabelo liso e fininho sofro bastante com os elásticos convencionais pois fico cheia de marcas (durmo de rabo de cavalo) e sinto os elásticos a repuxar alguns cabelos o que dói. Quanto ao facto de não deixar marcas estou medianamente satisfeita, umas vezes fico com marcas e noutras não. Quanto à promessa de não repuxar a história é a mesma. Quando comecei a usar invisibobble notei que fico muito mais confortável pois repuxa menos, mas não é 100% eficaz a esse nível. Pode não ser culpa do artigo, de facto tenho o cabelo bastante fininho e escadeado o que pode fazer com que o elástico não consiga agarrar os cabelos mais curtos com o mesmo controlo que no resto do cabelo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCQZqxCet0GNUTeudOBAbfujtEMoHJICQHh4fMjaEB0pIvFcJHDaUeVu8a-d97PaTpSZNRIvCpZuO9qA3Lg3rducdkMu7vNwwYGZh2F-y-Ag3mUnn1nw7YI5J7kmKrRqr5C95x4_og11-O/s1600/IMG_20150612_165746.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCQZqxCet0GNUTeudOBAbfujtEMoHJICQHh4fMjaEB0pIvFcJHDaUeVu8a-d97PaTpSZNRIvCpZuO9qA3Lg3rducdkMu7vNwwYGZh2F-y-Ag3mUnn1nw7YI5J7kmKrRqr5C95x4_og11-O/s640/IMG_20150612_165746.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Para além do que já foi dito, existe outra coisa que me incomoda com estes elásticos: são muito frágeis. São pequenos e fininhos e já me aconteceu mais do que uma vez partirem-se ao fim de uma semana ou duas de uso (na zona onde as duas extremidades estão coladas). Isso não seria um problema se estes elásticos não custassem quase 4€ o que, para elásticos de cabelo, é bastante caro. É um grande investimento ter de substituílos se um deles (ou dois deles como já me aconteceu) se partem na mesma caixa. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fico muito entusiasmada com as novas colecções da invisibobble e quanto existe um lançamento com uma cor que goste muito compro uma caixa. Acredito que seja este o maior valor da invisibobble - elásticos bonitos, com um ar delicado. Se for este o motivo pelo qual querem um elástico, recomendo. Se for pelo desempenho (não deixar marcas e não repuxar) não acho que seja um bom investimento pois faz um trabalho medíocre em ambas as promessas que faz. Para um trabalho medíocre podem ir a uma loja dos chineses e comprar versões mais baratas a 0.30€ que fazem o mesmo trabalho (tenho vários e nunca se partiram). Não são esteticamente tão agradáveis nem vêm em todas as cores da moda mas fazem o mesmo trabalho. </div>

Long time no see. Studying for university exams is a full time job. The good news is I'm on holiday (kind of, I still have some exams in June) and I plan to relax and do nothing. Being a student is amazing but it also comes with a disadvantage (at least for me) which is the extreme levels of stress and the inability to disconnect from it, I'm always thinking of what I have to do. But now I'm relatively calm and very excited for the 1st of July because I'm going to Sweden to spend the summer there. Anyways, I wanted to show you some things that I bought or received lately.</div>

My mother gave me this hair oil by L'oréal for straight hair. I've used it a few times and when I do use it my boyfriend comments my hair looks so nice and loose. I haven't been using it long enough to notice big differences in terms of health in my hair or nutrition but I do think it makes my hair look very shiny (in a non greasy/oily way) and light weight. I have oily hair so I'm very careful with what I put in it because I don't want it to look dull and lack-luster but this one doesn't make it feel heavy or sticky at all.</div>

I have been using the pore refiner by Bioderma for a while now because I received a lot of samples with my last purchase at the pharmacy and I loved it so much I decided to get the full size. This thing is amazing, for real! I have really oily skin and this product makes my face matte throughout the entire day (well at least from morning to afternoon, which is usually the time I wear makeup for). I totally recommend it and I'll be doing a review about it on the blog soon-ish. The micellar water came as a gift if you purchased the pore refiner. I have tried their micellar water from the Sensibio line and loved it, this one from the Sebium line I've never tried but so far I don't see a big difference besides the fact that it has a green pigment in it which isn't something I like since pigments irritate my skin. Hurry if you really want to get it because the shop that I liked in the name is doing a 1/3 off price on Bioderma.</div>

My boyfriend bought it for me after knowing I was after testing it out. So far I'm very unimpressed but I so want to like this, I want it to work. I don't see it working very well for me but I'll give it a few more shots to prove its worth.</div>

I also ordered these two shapewear items from LaRedoute since I was looking for something to wear under tight dresses. This saturday I'm going to my best friend's graduation ceremony and these came just in time for that. The shorts were a PAIN to get into. Mysteriously enough, once they were on they were so comfy I didn't want to take them off. Weird stuff. They provide great control so I'm going to keep them. The skirt has its problems so I'm going to give it back. It's too short so it fits weirdly above my waist leaving me with some hanging fat over it. Not a cute look.</div>

A lot of people don't know this but if you save the packaging of your Lush products after 5 pots you can go to the shop and get yourself a free fresh face mask, which I did today. I've never tried a Lush face mask because they don't last very long but since it's free who am I to say no! I got the Cupcake face mask because I've heard great things about it and the girl at the shop also recommended it for me. I tried it today for the first time and I only have two things to say so far: 1) it smells really bad and 2) it made my very dehydrated skin super soft so that's a win for me. Will write a review in the future when I have a formed opinion on it.<br />

Já lá vão uns dias desde que postei alguma coisa. Estudar para os exames da faculdade é quase um trabalho a tempo inteiro. A boa notícia é que estou de férias (mais ou menos, ainda tenho exames, por isso não são umas férias muito relaxadas). Ser estudante é divertido e enriquecedor mas vem com as suas desvantagens (pelo menos para mim) que são os níveis elevadíssimos de stress e a incapacidade de me desligar, estou sempre a pensar no que é que tenho para fazer e que trabalhos tenho para entregar. De momento estou relativamente calma e super entusiasmada pois no dia 1 de Julho vou para a Suécia passar o Verão. Neste post quero mostrar-vos algumas coisas que comprei ou recebi ultimamente.</div>

A minha mãe deu-me este óleo que é próprio para cabelos lisos. Ainda só o usei algumas vezes mas quando o uso o meu namorado comenta que o cabelo parece mais solto e bonito. Não tenho muito a dizer sobre ele por enquanto pois não o usei por tempo suficiente para ter uma opinião mas até aqui gosto bastante dele. Tenho o cabelo oleoso por isso não gosto de usar muitos produtos mas este óleo não me faz sentir que tenho o cabelo pesado ou sem movimento.</div>

Já ando a usar o pore refiner há algum tempo pois recebi bastantes amostras na última compra que fiz na farmácia e gostei tanto que comprei-o esta semana. Adoro este produto, não podia estar mais satisfeita. Tenho a pele do rosto muito oleosa mas com o pore refiner fico com a pele matte durante quase todo o dia. Recomendo-o e irei fazer uma review no blog, o único ponto contra é mesmo o preço (20€ por 30g nas farmácias) mas também um bocadinho do produto cobre a cara toda por isso ainda vai durar uns bons meses. Com a compra do pore refiner recebi a água micelar Sebium de oferta (100mL) e a promoção ainda existe nas farmácias por isso aproveitem se quiserem. Podem comprar nas farmácias mas <a href="http://www.escentual.com/bioderma/bioderma023/" target="_blank">esta</a> loja está a fazer descontos de 1/3 do preço em todos os produtos Bioderma.</div>

Foram-me oferecidas no meu aniversário e, honestamente, estou muito desiludida. Queria muito gostar deste artigo pois acho que a ideia é boa mas até ao momento não tem cumprido com a sua função. Vou usar mais vezes para testar melhor mas acho que não vale a pena comprá-las se estiverem a pensar nisso (infelizmente).</div>

Eu gosto muito de roupa adelgaçante, acho que faz toda a diferença se quiser usar uma roupa mais justa. Encomendei estes calções e saia da LaRedoute. Os calções foram um caso sério para vestir! Até estava com medo de os romper de tão apertados que são (comprei um tamanho acima do meu e mesmo assim custou a passar nas pernas). No entanto depois de estarem vestidos são tão confortáveis que não os queria tirar, acho que lhes vou dar imenso uso. A saia infelizmente tem os seus problemas por isso acho que a vou devolver.</div>

Muitas pessoas não sabem isto mas se guardarem as embalagens do que compram na Lush ao fim de 5 podem ir à loja trocá-las por uma máscara fresca. Fui lá hoje e trouxe a máscara Cupcake pois já li reviews a dizer que é muito boa e a menina da loja também a recomendou para o meu tipo de pele. Experimentei-a esta tarde pela primeira vez e as minhas primeiras impressões são: 1) cheira mal e 2) deixou-me a pele suave que nem um bebé. Vou usá-la mais vezes e depois escrevo uma review para vocês.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
This post is written in collaboration with other bloggers, you can read her posts by clicking the links below this one. Debz had the idea of creating the #PlusSizePromise Challenge, the point is to write things that we promise ourselves for this summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="color: #e06666;">Go to the beach more</span></i></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think I hated the beach until I went to the beach during Spring and noticed I missed it so much. I avoid the beach because a) sun - I have a small sun allergy and so being in direct sunlight becomes very uncomfortable for me; b) sand, I don't like sand stuck all over me; and c) heat - I suffer a lot in the summer because of the heat and it doesn't help my allergy at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So this summer I promise myself to go to the beach more and take sunshade with me so the sun doesn't become such a big problem. Also, to be honest for many years I have felt very uncomfortable going to the beach and thinking everyone will be staring at me. I even used to try and stay as close to the waterline as possible so the walk from the towel to the water was as short as it could be and I wouldn't need to be in everybody's face with my body. Which brings me to...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="color: #e06666;">Not covering up my arms as much</span></i></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now that I have read some of the other blogger's answers I notice this one comes up for pretty much everyone. It seems as we're embarrassed of showing off our arms and I truly am. It's probably the part of my body that I like the least, I think they're out of proportion to the rest of my body and it's the only thing I can see sticking out of a sleeveless dress and ruining my entire outfit. It doesn't look like I'm self conscious about my arms because I don't go to great lengths to cover them up if I'm feeling hot, but if feeling hot wasn't an issue I'd definitely be wearing a cardigan over a sleeveless anything. This summer, if I'm not in need of a cardigan for warmth, I promise to take it out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="color: #e06666;">Keep exercising</span></i></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is one that ties in with the heat. I'm a good girl in the winter when it comes to exercise, as odd as it might seem. I'm much more likely to go for a long walk during the winter than in the summer, simply because walking in the sun really makes me desperate and moody. But it doesn't mean I can't exercise, I can keep doing my home exercises and get a fan to make me less hot. I really want to keep up the exercise this summer and not gain weight. Which brings me to...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="color: #e06666;">Maintain my weight (at least)</span></i></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm not like most people. Most people gain weight in the winter and lose weight in the summer. But yours truly really has a problem with the summer, the sun, the heat weighing me down, the sweat, ugh. Just makes me not want to do anything at all and just stay inside a pool with a bucket of ice cream. Thus I promise myself to keep my meals in check and work on maintaining my weight if not losing some.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="color: #e06666;">Accept and believe it when someone compliments me</span></i></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some people are very gracious when receiving compliments. I do accept them and say thank you but I do not believe them sometimes. When it's about my looks I think "you're just saying that because you're my boyfriend/mom" or even regarding my intellect I'm like that too. Even this week a teacher complimented me on my abilities and I did feel really good about what she said but I also thought "well, I could be better". Which is silly isn't it? Why would someone go out of their way to compliment me if they didn't truly mean it? I promise to me (not necessarily for this summer but as a continued effort) to not knock down a compliment just because I don't think I'm enough for myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="color: #e06666;">Have tons of fun</span></i></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Am I the only one that is slowly turning into an old lady when it comes to having fun? My idea of fun used to be put on a skin tight dress, go to some club and drop it like it's hot. Now my idea of fun is a nice glass of Baileys, a blanket and a nice movie with my boyfriend. No I'm kidding, it's not only that, but you know what I mean. This summer I promise to try to have more fun that doesn't include movie and a blanket. The Baileys is welcome to stay though.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">How about you? What do you promise yourself for this summer?</span></i></div>

</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="lang:italian">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Este post foi escrito em colaboração com outras bloggers, podem ler as contribuições delas clicando nos links no fim do post. A Debz teve a ideia de criar o desafio #PlusSizePromise onde cada pessoa menciona as promessas que faz a si mesma para este Verão e aqui vão as minhas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="color: #e06666;">Ir mais à praia</span></i></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Eu achava que detestava a praia até lá ter ido durante a Páscoa e ter reparado nas saudades que tinha de lá ir. Eu evito ir à praia porque (a) existe sol e eu tenho uma alergia ao sol e estar constantemente debaixo do sol torna-se muito desconfortável; (b) areia, não gosto nada de ter areia colada a mim; e (c) o calor, sofro bastante com o calor durante o Verão e não ajuda em nada a minha alergia. No entanto prometo a mim mesma ir mais à praia, levar um chapéu de sol e bastante protector solar e divertir-me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><span style="color: #e06666;">Não cobrir tanto os braços</span></b></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Os meus braços são a parte do corpo de que gosto menos, acho que são desproporcionais em relação à minha figura e tento cobri-los ao máximo a não ser que esteja tanto calor que eu não aguento. Este Verão prometo não tapar tanto os meus braços a não ser que esteja frio.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="color: #e06666;">Continuar a fazer exerício</span></i></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Esta liga-se muito com o facto de estar muito calor em Lisboa no Verão. O ar quente incomoda-me muito e, ao contrário das outras pessoas, sou muito mais activa no Inverno do que no Verão pois evito sair de casa se estiver muito sol. Como tal evito também fazer exercício pois se estando quieta tenho calor, se fizer exercício ainda pior fico. Este Verão prometo lutar contra essa tendência e fazer mais exercício físico em casa, basta ligar uma ventoínha e fica o problema resolvido.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="color: #e06666;">Manter o peso (pelo menos)</span></i></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Não sou como a maioria das pessoas. Como já disse sou mais activa no Inverno, e tendo a perder mais peso no Inverno também. No Verão não me apetece fazer nada senão estar dentro de uma piscina a comer gelado, refrigerantes e afins. Prometo a mim mesma ter mais cuidado com a alimentação durante o Verão e lutar para manter o meu peso, se não até mesmo perder (mas manter já seria bom).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><span style="color: #e06666;">Aceitar e acreditar em elogios</span></b></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Por vezes até aceito um elogio mas não acredito que a pessoa que o disse esteja a falar a sério. O que é parvo, porque se uma pessoa se dá ao trabalho de elogiar outra, penso que está a ser sincera. Mas é muito fácil sermos racionais quando as coisas são com os outros, quando é connosco o caso muda de figura. Quando recebo elogios, quer sejam em relação à minha aparência quer seja em relação a capacidades/intelecto tenho sempre tendência a achar ou que estão a dizer isso só por dizer ou a pensar "pois, mas podia ser ainda melhor". Prometo (não necessariamente apenas no Verão) não desvalorizar um elogio só porque eu acredito que como não sou suficiente para mim mesma também não sou suficiente para os outros.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><span style="color: #e06666;">Divertir-me</span></b></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Não sei se também vos acontece mas às vezes sinto-me como uma senhora de meia idade com as suas pantufas e o seu chazinho! Aqui há uns 2 ou 3 anos atrás a minha ideia de diversão era vestir um vestido curto, ir ali ao ABS ou ao Gossip e só aparecer em casa às 6h da manhã. Tanto fiz isso durante tantos anos que acabei por me cansar e agora só quero é sopas e descanso como se costuma dizer. Adoro estar no sofá com o meu namorado a ver um filme, enrolada num cobertor e com um copo de Baileys. É verdade que sabe bem mas também acho que só somos jovens uma vez por isso este Verão vou tentar divertir-me mais e experimentar mais coisas novas. Aqui há umas semanas já meti esta promessa em prática e marquei uma viagem para Roma em Agosto, depois conto-vos como foi.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">Então e vocês, o que é que prometem a vós mesmos este Verão?</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666;"><br />

Hey</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I want to invite you to do a challenge with me. It's the crunches challenge, everyday the number of crunches you have to do increases. The challenge isn't mine - me and my boyfriend found it in this great place called the internet last year and decided to do it. I believe we got to around 100 crunches and then for some reason we stopped.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We're going to restart it again and you can take the challenge too. I don't think I'll grow some abs by doing this but it's just one more step towards being more fitness minded and it's fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you accept the challenge let me know in the comments section, I'd love to know. If crunches isn't your thing then there's other you can do, get a friend to join in and see how far you can get in the challenge this month.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="lang:italian">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Olá</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Quero convidar-vos a fazerem este desafio comigo - em cada dia têm um determinado número de abdominais para fazer e o número vai aumentando até 150. Não fui eu que criei o desafio, encontrei-o na net no ano passado e fi-lo com o meu namorado. Penso que chegámos até aos 100 mas por alguma razão parámos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Decidimos começá-lo novamente este mês (já vamos no 3º dia) e até agora tudo bem, vamos lá ver como corre.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><i>Experimentem e digam-me como correu =)</i></span></div>

Finally! I've been wanting to write this post for a while and here it is. I have searched the internet for the best workout videos, tried a bit of everything and ultimately discovered what my preferences are and what turns working out into a fun activity (yes, I didn't think it was possible, but it is!).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Ddvd&field-keywords=pump+it+up" target="_blank">Pump it up</a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So.much.fun! It's my favourite and it's a series of workout DVD's made in collaboration with the Ministry of Sound, which means the soundtrack is very upbeat and hip, nice to sing along to. There's several of them (I believe they release one every couple of years) but these are my two favourites: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsVp7wRWG7I" target="_blank">Pump it Up with Deanne Berry</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-86fmgT059c" target="_blank">Pump it Up with Gareth Walker</a>. They have quite a poor video quality on youtube but meh, still works.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They're quite long (over an hour) but you don't need to do it all in a row. The videos are divided into sections, usually consisting of a warm up, toning, dance sections and then cool down. So what I normally do is the warm up and then one or two of the other sections.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love this series by Shaun T. The videos are short (25 minutes) and you're supposed to do one every day. The videos come with an exercise plan saying which video you should do on a given day. It's also divided into 3 levels of difficulty so you start at the lower one and progress to the third one. This is the series I started with when I decided to lose weight and exercise, and I highly recommend it. It's beginner friendly (there's a modifier on the side doing simpler moves if you need it) and you can tailor it to your preference/needs as you go. Personally, when I was starting out I found some videos were a bit too difficult for me and that made me lose motivation so what I did was I found the ones I preferred and I only did those. Over time I started doing the others I couldn't do before.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pussycat-Dolls-Workout-Nicole-Scherzinger/dp/B002JARDSQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1432320178&sr=1-1&keywords=pussycat+dolls" target="_blank">Pussycat dolls Workout DVD</a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unfortunately I cannot find it in good quality on youtube but I still watch it and you can find it <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7ALztXAFVY" target="_blank">here</a>. It's the Pussycat Dolls' dance moves, including the choreography from Don't cha and Buttons. It also includes a burlesque choreography, as well as a warm-up and cool down. It's really fun and sexy and it will get a sweat going. If you're very fit or used to high intensity workouts then this one isn't for you, it's quite soft in terms of workout.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rockin-Body-4-Workouts-DVD-Video-Shaun-T-Beachbody-Disco-Groove-Dance-Party-/181743606512?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a50c35af0" target="_blank">Shawn T's Dance Party Series</a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also very beginner friendly. There's a few dance videos (5 or 6 if I remember correctly) and they stem from short (20 minutes) to long (an hour) and like the T25 workouts it also comes with a calendar saying which videos you should do on a given day. The choreographies themselves are fun and there's also a modifier on the side with some modifications of the moves to make them easier in case you have problems keeping up. This one is great if, like me, you enjoy dancing but after a while it won't be enough since the routines are very repetitive and once you learn the routine it becomes a bit boring.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Step-Up-Revolution-Cardio-Burn/dp/B00H2EQ97K/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1432320550&sr=8-7&keywords=step+up+workout" target="_blank">Step Up Revolution Hip Hop Cardio Burn</a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not something I would recommend for someone who isn't comfortable dancing. I cannot keep up 100% yet but I'll get there (it's still exercise even if you don't get the moves right). It's definitely a more advanced kind of dance video.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are tons of videos on youtube, but these are my favourites just because I really like dancing, I do not enjoy repetitive moves such as lunges or squats. Still, if dancing isn't your thing, here are other youtube channels which are very popular and have a ton of options: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/blogilates" target="_blank">Blogilates</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/popsugartvfit" target="_blank">POPSUGAR Fitness</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmto-qMFr_jopEdAZUukYMpxRsk0ZuPVE" target="_blank">Keaira LaShay</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here are other random videos I also like to do: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juhA4_cxUsk" target="_blank">Zumba Dance Workout for Begginers</a> (tiring, at least for me), <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq7IDD0Ye1Y" target="_blank">Dance Yourself Thin</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9raJrc-X9k" target="_blank">Latin Dance Aerobic Workout</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kXnqgd5rZQ" target="_blank">GOGO Dance Video</a> (not very demanding in terms of workout, but fun if you want something new), </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Keep in mind that you can mix and match different videos to tailor the experience to your preference.</div>

Finalmente! Tenho andado para escrever este post há já uns meses mas aqui está. Corri a internet de ponta a ponta pelos melhores vídeos e venho hoje mostrar-vos quais os meus preferidos de momento. Eu aborreço-me com imensa facilidade por isso tenho de ter vários vídeos preparados para ir rodando quando me farto de um, por isso acabo por experimentar muitos vídeos novos no youtube.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Ddvd&field-keywords=pump+it+up" target="_blank">Pump it Up</a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A minha série preferida sem dúvida. É feita em colaboração com o Ministry of Sound por isso a banda sonora é composta por músicas muito conhecidas, os grandes hits do ano em que lançam o DVD, e as coreografias são muito divertidas. Existem vários DVD's mas os que eu prefiro são estes dois: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsVp7wRWG7I" target="_blank">Pump it Up with Deanne Berry</a> e <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-86fmgT059c" target="_blank">Pump it Up with Gareth Walker</a>. Estão ambos no youtube com péssima qualidade de vídeo mas é o que se pode arranjar, se preferirem comprar existe na <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Ddvd&field-keywords=pump+it+up" target="_blank">Amazon</a> e provavelmente também encontram no Ebay. O único senão desta série é que se não estiverem muito à vontade com vídeos de dança, este não é uma boa série por onde começar. As coreografias conseguem ser bastante complicadas mas depois de umas vezes já se apanham bem.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Os vídeos são bastante longos (cerca de hora e meia) mas estão divididos em secções (aquecimento, dança 1, dança 2, tonificar, arrefecimento, etc) por isso podem escolher fazer 2 ou 3 secções em vez de fazerem o vídeo todo (falo por mim, não tenho 1:30h livre por dia para fazer exercício). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Beachbody-Shaun-Ts-FOCUS-T25-Base-Kit-DVD-Workout-14-dvds-/151689766066?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item23516a24b2" target="_blank">T25 Focus</a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Adoro esta série de exercícios do Shaun T (o mesmo instructor da série Insanity). A série tem vários vídeos de curta duração (25 minutos) e é suposto fazer-se um por dia. Os vídeos de exercício vêm com um calendário para saberem que vídeo devem fazer em cada dia e também com um plano de alimentação. Existem 3 níveis de dificuldade pelo que se não estiverem acostumados a fazer exercício devem começar na série Alpha e, passadas 5 semanas (se não estou em erro) avançam para a dificuldade seguinte. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Foi com esta série que iniciei a prática de exercício físico e achei que foi uma boa série, tem exercícios muito variados, curtos (que são de extrema importância para quem não tem muita vontade de fazer exerício!) e tinham um nível de exigência adequado.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Este vídeo está também no youtube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7ALztXAFVY" target="_blank">aqui</a> mas, para não variar, com péssima qualidade. Tal como o nome indica é feito pela coreógrafa das Pussycat Dolls, inclui duas coreografias de músicas que conhecemos ("Don't Cha" e "Buttons"), assim como uma coreografia de burlesco, aquecimento e arrefecimento. Não é das coreografias mais fáceis de seguir mas ao fim de duas ou três vezes de fazerem o vídeo apanham bem (confiem em mim que tenho dois pés esquerdos). São coreografias divertidas e gosto muito deste DVD, vou rodando com outros mas volto a este de vez em quando. </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Já lá vai um bom tempo desde que fiz esta série mas recomendo completamente para iniciantes. Foi esta a série que me ajudou a perceber que para mim os vídeos de dança funcionam muito bem pois são mais divertidos do que outros vídeos. A série tem vários vídeos (6 se não me engano), cada um com uma duração diferente (penso que vão dos 25 minutos a uma hora) e uma coreografia diferente. Há muita gente que não gosta do Shaun T, acham-no agressivo, mas pessoalmente dou-me muito bem com a personalidade dele no que toca a motivação. Tal como a série T25 que também é com ele, estes vídeos vêm com um calendário onde diz que vídeos fazer em cada dia da semana e se não me engano também traz um plano alimentar. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Os filmes Step Up lançaram alguns vídeos de exercícios que, honestamente, não consigo fazer pois a coreografia é demasiado complicada para mim de momento. No entanto tenho-os guardados para daqui a uns tempos quando me sentir mais à vontade e quiser um desafio. A coreografia é muito gira e tenho pena de não conseguir fazê-la correctamente até ao fim, mas não deixa de ser um bom exercício pois enquanto estou a tentar (e a falhar) fazer a coreografia estou a mexer-me na mesma.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Estas são as minhas recomendações, mas como disse aborreço-me rapidamente, por isso às duas por três lá vou ao youtube e faço um vídeo novo para quebrar a rotina. Deixo aqui alguns dos meus canais preferidos para poderem encontrar coisas novas: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/blogilates" target="_blank">Blogilates</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/popsugartvfit" target="_blank">POPSUGAR Fitness</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmto-qMFr_jopEdAZUukYMpxRsk0ZuPVE" target="_blank">Keaira LaShae</a>.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Deixo também alguns vídeos específicos que gosto de fazer de vez em quando: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juhA4_cxUsk" target="_blank">Zumba Dance workout for Begginers</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq7IDD0Ye1Y" target="_blank">Dance Yourself Thin</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9raJrc-X9k" target="_blank">Latin Dance Aerobic Workout</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kXnqgd5rZQ" target="_blank">GOGO Dance Workout</a> (não é muito cansativo mas é divertido se quiserem algo novo)</div>

Here I am again with an outfit post. They're my favourite posts to read in other blogs (I'm always looking for fashion inspiration) and also my favourite posts to plan and put together. This outfit features one of my favourite tops - a peplum top from Primark with a gorgeous floral print. I paired it with light wash jeans and sandals because that was a really hot day. Looking back I would have skipped the floral bag because I do think it was too much floral together but hey, I love my florals. The cute little bow is handmade by a girl I found on facebook but I'm pretty sure you can find it at Forever21, I'll try to find it and link it.</div>

Cá estou novamente com um oufit. Posts com looks são dos meus favoritos de ler noutros blogs e são também os que mais gosto de planear e preparar. Este outfit é com um dos meus tops preferidos - um top peplum da Primrark com um padrão floral que, na minha opinião, é lindo. Juntei-o com jeans claras e umas sandálias porque nesse dia estava imenso calor. Olhando para trás talvez tivesse usado outra mala pois a mochila floral choca um pouco com o top por também ser floral mas enfim, eu adoro padrões florais. O lacinho foi feito à mão por uma menina que encontrei no facebook mas que sinceramente não me recordo de quem é. Vou tentar encontrar semelhante na Forever21 e meto o link abaixo. </div>

Happy birthday to me =)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another year has passed it seems, even though I'm just a day older than I were yesterday. Now when someone asks my age I'll awkwardly reply 22 and correct it right after to 23, takes some getting used to. I had planned to host a giveaway today but I didn't have much time to prepare it so I'll postpone it for a bit but it's coming.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The picture above is from my 18th birthday, feels so far away now. I remember not being excited of turning 18 (even though I was suuuper excited for the party that I threw that day with all my friends there). Turning 18 meant stepping into the adult world, a world I didn't feel prepared for, and all the responsibility and pressure that comes with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I used to love my birthday and all the attention I get, but now to be honest it lost a bit of it's charm. Now it's just the realisation that time is moving and I'm growing older (I have a bit of a Peter Pan syndrome going on). Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that it's my day, I still like the party aspect of it, just not what it means. Maybe I'll grow into one of those people that think getting old is the best thing ever because it makes you wiser but, for the time being, I wish I could freeze time and remain young forever.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just wanted to stop by and say hi, hope your day is going well, mine just got better with some chocolate birthday cake!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Talk to you soon</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Parece que passou mais um ano quando, no entanto, sou apenas um dia mais velha do que ontem. Quando me perguntarem a idade irei responder 22 e corrigir imediatamente para 23, demoro sempre uns tempos a habituar-me à mudança de idade. Tinha planeado fazer um sorteio hoje mas não tive tempo de o organizar pelo que terá de ficar para daqui a uns tempos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A fotografia acima é de quando fiz 18 anos, parece que foi há séculos atrás. Lembro-me de não estar entusiasmada por fazer 18 anos (embora estivesse super entusiasmada pela festa que ia dar nessa noite com todos os meus amigos presentes). Fazer 18 anos é um grande marco, significa entrar na idade adulta, um mundo para o qual eu não me sentia preparada, e toda a responsabilidade que daí advém.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Costumava adorar o meu aniversário e toda a atenção que recebo mas, com o tempo, perdeu um pouco do seu charme. Agora é uma realização de que o tempo está a passar e estou a envelhecer (sim, tenho um pouco o síndrome de Peter Pan). Continuo a adorar fazer anos, de receber atenção e de o festejar, mas não gosto do que significa. Talvez quanto mais velha ficar mais gostarei de envelhecer e começarei a achar que estou mais sábia e todas essas coisas mas, por agora, só gostava de ficar jovem para sempre.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Só quis passar por aqui e dizer olá, espero que o vosso dia esteja a correr bem, o meu acabou de ficar melhor com um bolo de chocolate que a minha mãe trouxe (coitada pensava que me ia cantar os parabéns às 9h da manhã mas quando veio ao meu quarto eu já tinha ido para as aulas, esqueceu-se que eu tenho aulas à sexta).</div>

This friday it's my birthday so make sure to tune in because there will be a surprise for you.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This week was nice, I haven't been as anxious as in the past weeks (even though I probably should because it's the last month of school and I have a ton of assignments to deliver and study to get done before the exams). Also, I'm totally hooked on a new tv show and I can't get enough! Go watch it, it's called Orphan Black and it's awesome. Food wise I think I was better than last week and I've been drinking a lot of water.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I went out for food once, and I did have sangria which isn't very diet appropriate but it's not like I have alcohol often. Probably 3 or 4 times a year.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I ate a lot of boiled broccoli as a side dish to most of my meals this week. I also made yet another chickpea stew but this time with only chickpea, cilantro, some chorizo bits and tomato puree since I'm out of other vegetables. I had the chickpea stew with a poached egg.</div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">For another meal I had two chicken legs with a bit of spaghetti and boiled broccoli. Since I still have tortillas in the freezer I made a very quick lunch with lettuce, tomato, chorizo and an egg, with light cheese on the side.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I pretty much ate turkey or chicken the entire week with a side ranging from spaghetti to potato to broccoli (or other salads).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I've been having green smoothies for breakfast and a lot of fruit for dessert or snacks (mango, honey dew melon and strawberries.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Fui comer fora com o meu irmão num dos dias ao Parque das Nações e bebemos sangria que não é pobre em calorias mas também só bebo alcóol umas 4 vezes por ano. Não tirei fotos ao almoço mas foi um bife com molho de mostarda e arroz.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Esta semana cozi uma cabeça grande de bróculos e tenho estado a comê-la em todas as refeições para que não se estrague. Fiz grão estufado e juntei parte dos bróculos e um ovo escalfado.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Para outra das refeições comi duas pernas de frango com esparguete e bróculos. Como ainda tenho tortilhas congeladas comi uma esta semana, com alface, tomate, choriço e um ovo, acompanhei com queijo fresco.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ao pequeno-almoço tenho comido batidos verdes e para o lanche muita fruta (manga, meloa e morangos). Tenho também bebido muita água e chá verde.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<i>"I got one less problem without you"</i></div>
<br />
<div class="lang:english">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't think Ariana was talking about chub rub, but let me paint you a picture. The summer is coming! You get up so excited for that perfect picnic at the park with your friends, you put on the beautiful floral summery dress that you've been wanting to wear for a while. After a fun meal your friends want to go for a walk in the park. Amongst the bird singing, the giggling and the beautiful summery day, you sense it coming...the chub rub! The dreaded and hated chub rub. Also known as chafing, it's that very painful and uncomfortable thing you get when your poor thighs rub together in the midst of heat and sweat, leaving your skin "burnt" and raw and little wounds that take a while to heal. In this post I'll attempt to share with you some tips and tricks that I've learned over the years to deal which chub rub so I can wear dresses and skirts in peace!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But first let me tell you a story of something that I still remember from when I was little and it was quite painful. Me and my parents (and my little brother) went to the south of Portugal for a beach vacation, and I wore a dress of course because I always loved dresses. After a couple of hours on the beach my mom and a friend of the family wanted to go for a walk, so I went with them. It was one of the worst experiences I can think of and I still remember it quite well. After a while walking my thighs were killing me, I tried putting my dress between my legs to stop them from touching each other but it wouldn't work. I tried walking inside the water but the salty water made my already chaffed thighs to burn. By the time we got back to the towels my legs were burning and I had open bloody wounds that took a week or so to heal, and it ruined my vacation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, what can you do to make sure you don't have to worry about your thighs rubbing together when you go out? My aim here is to give you tips that you can use to prevent chub rub when you're going bare legged. So I'll leave out solutions such as wearing leggings under dresses (which will for obvious reasons prevent chub rub) or wearing boxer shorts under your dresses. I'm going over some ideas that might offer some relief but my holy grail is so far deodorant!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666;"><b>Number 1 - Baby powder</b></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I used baby powder for a long time before discovering other things that worked. This works amazingly well, but for a short period of time. After you start sweating between your legs it will dissolve the baby powder and it won't work anymore. There was a summer where I remember bringing a baby powder bottle in my bag to reapply in the bathroom when I needed it, but it wasn't very practical. It's still a very good thing if you need some relief from the chaffing and you don't have anything else at hand. I like the <a href="https://www.lush.co.uk/products/vanilla-puff" target="_blank">vanilla puff powder by Lush</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b><span style="color: #e06666;">Number 2 - Vaseline/any other slippery product</span></b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rule of thumb is: slippery is good. You don't want your skin to stick together and give you that chaffing business nobody likes! You want it so slide smoothly, and that's what vaseline will provide. This is a very good and lasting option if you don't mind having vaseline between your legs all day and you can bring a little tub with you if you need to reapply it. Who says vaseline says Body Glide, coconut oil and other creams and potions that will give you that smooth slide.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="color: #e06666;">Number 4 - Lubricant</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Don't think I'm crazy! Think about it. It's meant to make stuff glide smoothly, isn't it? So it's not such a bad thing to think it would help with chub rub. And it will, specially the silicone ones. Give it a go before you say no.</div>

Keep in mind that I haven't tried this option yet because deodorant has been working very well and I find them pricey, but I would love to if I didn't have to order it online and pay for shipping and all that hassle - if you live in America this is your lucky day because I'm guessing you won't pay much for shipping, if you live in the UK you can find it on Etsy. I have read amazing reviews on this product and I'm going to purchase it in the near future because I'm so curious about it. It's a lacey band that you put around your thighs and it stays there due to silicone bands that keep it attached to your skin. The band will make a barrier allowing your legs to move without rubbing together. Besides being useful, how sexy is this? I so want to try it.

<b><i><span style="color: #e06666;">Number 6 - Behold the all mighty deodorant</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Deodorant between your legs?". YES! I was sceptical too when I read this tip a couple of years ago but I tried it and voilà. I can go on walks in a dress, or spend a full day at school without worrying that my legs are chaffed and painful. Not the spray kind, the roll-on. If possible, use one that is an anti-perspirant since it will keep the sweat at bay or at least decrease it. I have found that I don't need to reapply it at all, but if you want to be safe take a little one with you, they're small and fit in your bag perfectly. I just swipe it between my thighs where I'd normally get chub rub and then I'm good to go. Don't bother buying an expensive deodorant for this, buy a cheap one and it will do its job.</div>

Estou certa de que a Ariana não se estava a referir às chamadas "pernas assadas". Para quem não está a associar o nome, é quando andam muito tempo em calções/saias/vestidos e as vossas pobres coxas roçam uma na outra, dando a sensação de queimadura e dor. Se já passaram por isso sabem o quão doloroso é e durante muitos anos evitei usar saias e vestidos. Ao longo dos anos fui descobrindo formas de evitar ou mitigar a sensação de pernas assadas e espero poder ajudar-vos pois, como bem sei, pode ser algo muito vergonhoso se estiverem a passear com alguém e deixarem de conseguir andar bem por causa das dores.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Deixem-me contar-vos uma história que ainda me lembro de quando era mais nova (uns 9 ou 10 anos). Eu e os meus pais (e o meu irmão mais novo) fomos a sul de Portugal para umas férias na praia e nessa tarde eu estava a usar um vestido. Depois de algumas horas na praia eu, a minha mãe e uns amigos da família fomos dar uma caminhada à beira mar e a praia era bastante longa. Depois de uns minutos a caminhar as minhas coxas estavam a arder, se conhecem a sensação sabem que é difícil de ignorar. Tentei de tudo, desde meter o vestido entre as pernas a meter água entre as pernas com frequência, foi horrível. Tive imensa dificuldade em andar e para voltar para a toalha ainda tinha de andar bastante. Quando cheguei à toalha tinha feridas abertas entre as pernas e pele a descamar, sangue, etc. Demorou uma semana ou mais para a pele sarar e como devem calcular andei desconfortável durante o tempo que lá estive.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Para não passarem por isto nas vossas férias o que é que podem fazer? Este é o meu objectivo com este post, dar-vos opções para que possam usar saias e vestidos no verão em vez de se cobrirem com calças ou leggings.</div>

<b><i><span style="color: #e06666;">1 - Pó talco</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Usei pó talco durante muito tempo antes de descobrir outras opções que funcionam melhor. O pó talco funciona bastante bem mas por um período de tempo muito reduzido - quando começam a suar entre as pernas o pó talco é dissolvido e deixa de fazer efeito. Embora não seja a solução perfeita pode ser uma boa dica pois oferece um alívio imediato e toda a gente tem um frasquinho de pó talco na casa-de-banho. Gosto muito do <a href="https://www.lush.pt/shop/product/product/path/154_267/id/267/Corpo-Ps-de-Talco-Vanilla-Puff-Powder" target="_blank">Vanilla Puff Powder</a> da Lush.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="color: #e06666;">2 - Vaselina/cremes</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Quem sofre de pernas assadas sabe que o importante é as pernas deslizarem uma na outra com facilidade, por isso a vaselina é uma solução viável. Quem diz vaselina diz creme nívea, óleo de coco, body glide ou outra coisa qualquer que ofereça o mesmo efeito (até existem cremes específicos para ajudar a prevenir o problema). Pessoalmente não é a minha solução preferida mas vocês podem gostar.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

Ainda não experimentei esta solução mas já ando a ouvir falar nelas há uns anos e hei-de comprar um par no futuro. É essencialmente uma banda que se coloca em redor das coxas, na zona onde se tocam, e como oferece uma barreira entre as pernas previne a assadura. Para além de (supostamente) resolver o problema são também muito giras. Ainda não comprei pois têm de encomendar online e pagar portes de envio. Podem ler uma <a href="http://www.thelingerieaddict.com/2014/10/product-review_bandelettes.html" target="_blank">review das bandelettes</a> no blog The Lingerie Addict.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="color: #e06666;">4 - Desodorizante</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sem dúvida o meu método preferido! Sei que parece estranho mas experimentem e vejam como resulta. Desde que descobri que funciona posso andar o dia inteiro de saia ou vestido e não sentir qualquer tipo de desconforto, até já dei longas caminhadas de vestido sem que as pernas assem. Uso um qualquer, geralmente dos mais baratos, se bem que os anti-transpirantes funcionam um bocadinho melhor. Podem também ter um na mala para aplicarem novamente caso seja preciso (nunca tenho de reaplicar, mas cada caso é um caso).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="color: #e06666;">5 - Lubrificante</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Não, não estou louca. Pensem bem. Os lubrificantes têm como objectivo diminuir a fricção, por isso também ajudam a tornar a junção entre as pernas mais escorregadia o que impede as assaduras. Experimentem, não têm de contar a ninguém.</div>

You've seen this dress before in a <a href="http://uniquelyfilipa.blogspot.pt/2015/02/new-in-forever21-others.html" target="_blank">new in post</a>, but this was my first time actually wearing it since I was waiting for the nice weather. I felt like a princess in it, the dress is beautiful and the fabric is very flowy. It does fit a bit too loose in the chest area but that's probably my fault, since I order it online from Forever21 sometimes the fit isn't perfect.</div>

This weekend was great, it was a long weekend because of the holiday on friday and it's just lovely to be off school for a little bit longer. School can be very intense, specially the month of May since it's the last month of school so plenty of assignments to deliver and studying. I was in a terrible mood though because I went off the pill since I was experiencing some nasty side effects but then my skin started breaking out like crazy (I'm better now). On the food front I have tried to stay on track but I'm honest when I say I didn't try my hardest.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="color: #e06666;">Food</span></i></div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8xyxV1rbNXgM4TlAslGLn5kIuMPNrg59OZgINmaDZbZyVKTJjbY291u5PPYtwb7-cjlCdEi0BrTHXeiaNSdPXi_yD6P_WNDuUt2W_PvcdybC45iymJg8mu9WhhbD9LKBo0HkewVnT5e6m/s1600/week+17+weight+loss+journal.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8xyxV1rbNXgM4TlAslGLn5kIuMPNrg59OZgINmaDZbZyVKTJjbY291u5PPYtwb7-cjlCdEi0BrTHXeiaNSdPXi_yD6P_WNDuUt2W_PvcdybC45iymJg8mu9WhhbD9LKBo0HkewVnT5e6m/s640/week+17+weight+loss+journal.png" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">For breakfast I'm back on green smoothies - spinach, strawberry, chia seeds, banana, orange juice. With every meal I tried to have a salad as a side dish with lettuce, grated carrot, tomato, red bell pepper and a dressing of garlic and cilantro.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I made a vegetable stew that I ate for a few meals throughout the week - chickpeas, red bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, zucchini, cilantro and tomato puree. It was absolutely delicious for a chickpea + cilantro lover. I had that for one of the meals with a poached egg on top. Then for another meal I put it inside a tortilla and rolled it like a wrap.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Speaking of wraps, I had that for another meal with vegetables and chicken inside. It's such a great thing to have in the freezer for when you need a meal, just need to pop them in the microwave for a few seconds and put whatever you want inside.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Then for the not so healthy part I did have quite a lot of pasta this week from spaghetti with sausage to the screws-pasta (I don't know the technical name, sorry).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mushroom risotto was another one of my meals. I believe the traditional risotto is quite caloric but I make a healthier variation and it tastes good to me. I also had grilled salmon with boiled potatoes and brocolli. Last night I had mushroom meatloaf with pasta and roasted vegetables (red bell pepper, carrot, onion).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I did snack on chocolate, chocolate cake, green tea and a sandwich or two which I'm not proud of but I won't beat myself over it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="color: #e06666;">Exercise</span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have exercised 4 times this week and for longer than I normally do. Dance videos as normal (this week I did the Pussy Cat dolls dance video and it's so much fun, try it!).</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="lang:italian"><div style="text-align: justify;">Aqui estamos outra vez, ainda não desisti de perder peso. Este fim-de-semana foi mais longo do que o normal e soube tão bem ter mais um diazinho sem aulas. O mês de Maio é o último dia de aulas e é muito stressante e pesado. Andei de péssimo humor na semana passada porque deixei de tomar a pílula pois estava a experienciar alguns efeitos secundários e quando deixei a pílula fiquei com a cara cheia de acne. Felizmente já estou melhor.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Voltei aos batidos verdes ao pequeno-almoço - espinafres, morango, banana, sementes de chia, sumo de laranja. Com todas as refeições tentei comer salada de alface, cenoura ralada, pimento vermelho, e tomate como um dos acompanhamentos.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fiz um guisado de legumes com grão de bico, pimento vermelho, cebola, cogumelos, curgete, coentros e puré de tomate que estava uma delícia. Quando o fiz acompanhei com um ovo escalfado. Como sobrou bastante fui comendo noutras refeições, para uma delas meti um bocado do guisado numa tortilha. As tortilhas podem ser guardadas no congelador e são uma óptima forma de ter uma refeição sempre à mão. Basta metê-las no microondas durante uns segundos e meter o que se quiser lá dentro. São relativamente baixas em calorias (122 calorias por tortilha).</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Falando em tortilhas, para outra refeição comi duas tortilhas recheadas com alface, pimento vermelho, azeitonas e bocadinhos de frango.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Abusei muito de massa esta semana infelizmente. Comi bastante esparguete tanto acompanhado com salsichas como com rolo de carne de cogumelos e legumes assados.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Para outra refeição fiz risotto de cogumelos que adoro, não é das coisas mais simples de fazer porque requer muita monitorização e estar sempre a mexer mas gosto muito. Também comi salmão grelhado com batata cozida e bróculos.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Ao lanche comi sandes com fiambre e chá verde, laranja ou chocolate (não me orgulho).</div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Fi-lo 4 vezes esta semana e durante mais tempo do que o normal (cerca de uma hora). Fiz o vídeo de dança das Pussycat Dolls (se procurarem no youtube encontram mas com péssima qualidade) e é muito divertido.</div></div><br />

This video by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i26tpXNOhfo" target="_blank">Cece</a> about walking out on a date as a plus size woman, a MUST watch. In Portugal we don't have this culture of going on dates. We do it differently here, people meet, become friends and then date. So although this isn't a very useful video for me in terms of dating I still enjoyed it, I saw it as a call for women to know it's okay to want the best for yourself and if what comes isn't the best then just leave, don't waste your time.<br />

This super fun microsoft creation called "<a href="http://how-old.net/" target="_blank">how old</a>" where you can upload your pictures and it will try to guess your age and gender.

Este vídeo da <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i26tpXNOhfo" target="_blank">Cece</a> que adorei. Não temos muito a cultura de ir a encontros amorosos cá em Portugal mas nos Estados Unidos existe e este vídeo é sobre isso mesmo mas vai mais além - eu interpretei-o como um vídeo sobre a necessidade de sermos confiantes e de perceber que merecemos o melhor e, se o melhor não aparece, levantemo-nos e partamos para outra. Recomendo verem.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This post is a partnership with other bloggers (check out their posts below), the purpose is to show what we would have spent at a given shop if they carried our size. I wanted to join this series because I think it's important to start showing brands that there is a big market beyond regular sizes and that they should embrace those. Today's shop is Topshop. I have to admit it is not a place I browse through often (they don't carry my size, so why would I?) but I have fallen in love with a few of their pieces. How gorgeous is that satin navy lingerie? I'm gutted that they don't have my size, I would have purchased it on the spot. So with the items I chose, what would I have spent? A painful value of 370€.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">How about you, which things would you buy (Topshop or not) if they carried your size?</span></i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Este post é uma colaboração com outras bloggers, o objectivo é mostrar o que é que teríamos comprado em determinada loja se existisse o nosso tamanho. Eu quis juntar-me a esta série pois acho muito importante que as marcas comecem a perceber que existe um grande mercado para além dos tamanhos regulares. A loja de hoje é a Topshop. Devo dizer que não é uma loja que eu visite com regularidade mas apaixonei-me por algumas peças. Adoro a lingerie de cetim azul, é linda e tê-la-ia comprado no momento em que a vi se existisse o meu tamanho.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">E vocês, existe alguma coisa que gostassem de comprar (na Topshop ou não) se existisse o vosso tamanho?</span></i></div>

I have a big emotional connection to all of my dresses, I love dresses, but this one has a special spot in my heart. I just love the colour, the fit, the little pockets in the front, the soft fabric...all of it is perfect for me. I love it so much that I'm very aware all day long of where I'm sitting, what I'm leaning against and what might possibly be touching this dress to make sure it won't get dirty or damaged. It was such a bargain at H&M (5€) a couple of years ago and I'm so happy I snatched it up in that shopping afternoon. The pictures were taken in a beautiful <a href="http://uniquelyfilipa.blogspot.pt/2015/04/sintra-day-trip.html" target="_blank">palace in Sintra</a> just outside of Lisbon and I hope you enjoy it.</div>

Tenho uma grande ligação emocional com todos os meus vestidos, adoro vestidos, mas este tem um lugarzinho especial. Adoro a cor, o corte, os bolsos à frente, o tecido macio...tudo neste vestido é perfeito para mim. Gosto tanto dele que presto atenção o dia inteiro aos locais onde me sento, onde me encosto, para me certificar de que não sujo ou danifico o vestido. For um grande achado na H&M há cerca de dois anos (5€) e estou muito feliz por o ter comprado.

You might have seen this in one of my <a href="http://uniquelyfilipa.blogspot.pt/2015/03/filipa-wants-2.html" target="_blank">wishlists</a> a few weeks ago and I got it in a trip to Sephora. I love it, super pigmented, need to be careful with the blush though since it's shimmery. I got it in the colour Light.</div>

Nothing exciting here, just an all-rounded good eye makeup remover. I don't wear that much eye make-up except for parties or special events, so I'm not the best person to advise you on eye make-up removers. I like this one, does its job, cheap and accessible.</div>

I do not recommend these leggings even though they're pretty cheap. I bought them to serve as tights since as leggings they're pretty sheer, the fabric is too thin so it's not flattering at all and the tummy part is longer than the back so they feel like pregnancy leggings.</div>

Já vos tinha mostrado este kit numa <a href="http://uniquelyfilipa.blogspot.pt/2015/03/filipa-wants-2.html" target="_blank">wishlist</a> e acabei por comprá-lo. Comprei a cor mais clarinha que se chama Light. Podem encontrá-lo na Sephora a 13€. Estou a adorar, especialmente o highlighter. O blush é o que menos uso porque é muito pigmentado e tem shimmer, pelo que ainda não me habituei a ver-me com ele.</div>

Este desmaquilhante não tem muito que se lhe diga, é bastante simples mas remove bem a maquilhagem, Quase não uso maquilhagem de olhos por isso este serve perfeitamente para quando é necessário e é bastante acessível (penso que custou 4.95€).</div>

Comprei numa loja dos chineses que há no Calvário, caso queiram comprar uma. Custou 15.95€, é muito gira e finalmente comprei-a depois de andar a namorá-la na montra e a pensar se lhe iria dar uso. Foi muito útil nas férias quando fui para a praia e a Sintra.</div>

Custaram 4€ mas sinceramente não recomendo. De péssima qualidade, a parte da barriga é mais longa que a parte de trás por isso parecem leggings de grávida, super desconfortáveis.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm back this week with my weight loss journal. I'm back to school now, no more spring break for me. Unfortunately. Now it's the final stretch until the end of the semester and exams so I'm a bit stressed. This week I also went to a hospital I'd like to do my internship in and gave them a presentation letter, I'm very anxious because I so want them to call me back and tell me I'm everything they've been looking for! Kidding, they won't say that, but one can dream.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<i><span style="color: #e06666;">Food</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So what have I been eating? With the lack of motivation to cook, nothing too fancy. For breakfasts I have steered away from green smoothies a bit because I couldn't go to the supermarket and I ran out of fruit. So I've been having sandwiches with coffee or yogurt.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I've been making stir-frys with noodles, vegetables and minced meat. Grilled meat (usually chicken) with some salad and tomatoes on the side.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I also did something I love to eat: a mix of different things that I like and have around. This week I did it with some potato salad, a slice of ham, a slice of cheese, a boiled egg, lettuce salad and roasted red bell peppers. I just put everything on a plate and eat it like that. I really like it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I made a vegetable rice, using carrot, green beans, peas and red bell peppers, and I've been eating that rice with salad and fish sticks (or fish fingers, not sure how you call it).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For one of the lunches I made pasta (the ones that look like screws, I don't know the name) with bits of ham, shredded carrots and mushrooms. I tossed everything with a mustard and honey dressing. It was quite good.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For dinner that day I made mushroom risotto, I just love mushroom risotto. As snacks I've been having bananas or sandwiches and plenty of water.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I didn't have any formal exercise during spring break besides a lot of walking so getting started with it again was harder than I thought, lost a lot of motivation. But once I actually got up and did it I felt so good about myself. I feel very motivated now, it's crazy how good exercise makes me feel. Besides the muscle ache, that's not fun. I'm also trying to convince a friend to come with me to Zumba classes next week, hopefully she'll come with me.</div>

Estou de volta esta semana com o jornal de perda de peso. Já estou com aulas outra vez, acabaram-se as férias da Páscoa para mim. Infelizmente. Agora é a recta final até ao fim do semestre e início da fase de exames por isso ando um pouco stressada. Esta semana fui ao hospital psiquiátrico onde gostaria de estagiar para o ano. Gostava mesmo de lá ficar mas suspeito que têm imensas candidaturas. Bem se é para sonhar que seja alto!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<i><span style="color: #e06666;">Comida</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ando sem motivação para cozinhar pelo que tenho feito coisas muito simples. Para pequenos-almoços desviei-me dos batidos verdes durante esta semana, a minha fruta acabou e não pude ir ao supermercado. Tenho comido sandes e café com leite ou iogurte.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tenho também feito esparguete com legumes e carne picada; carne grelhada (geralmente frango) com salada e tomates para acompanhar. Fiz uma coisa que adoro comer: uma mistura de coisas diferentes que eu gosto ou restos do dia anterior. Esta semana fiz isso com um pouco de salada de batata, uma fatia de fiambre, uma fatia de queijo, um ovo cozido, salada de alface e pimentão vermelho assado. Meti tudo num prato e comi assim, é rápido e muito bom porque há muita variedade.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fiz arroz de legumes com cenoura, feijão verde, ervilhas e pimentões vermelhos, e tenho comido esse arroz com douradinhos e salada.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Adoro risotto de cogumelos e faço com alguma frequência (uma versão menos calórica do que a tradicional, claro). Fiz esta semana e estava melhor do que o normal porque finalmente comprei um arroz específico para fazer risotto que o torna muito mais cremoso. Dica: o Jumbo das Amoreiras tem cogumelos que podem comprar avulso em vez de comprarem uma caixa inteira.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Para o almoço de hoje fiz aquela massa que parece um parafuso com pedaços de fiambre, cenoura ralada e cogumelos. Como molho fiz uma mistura de mostarda e mel.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ao lanche é o normal: iogurtes, bananas, sandes. E muita água.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Como não fiz exercício "oficial" durante as férias da Páscoa foi muito difícil começar de novo. Mas esta semana finalmente decidi recomeçar e devo dizer que me sinto tão bem, é incrível como fazer exercício nos faz sentir assim. Estou novamente motivada. Ainda não vos disse mas neste Verão vou a Roma e já ando a comprar roupa nova para levar e quero estar no meu melhor. Estou também a tentar convencer uma amiga a vir comigo a uma aula de Zumba na próxima semana para experimentar. Espero bem que ela venha.

To those of you who aren't Portuguese, Sintra means nothing. Sintra is a city close to Lisbon that is known for being absolutely beautiful (and the pastries too). It's home to many touristic attractions such as chalets, castles, a palace, beautiful churches and monasteries. It's absolutely stunning.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the Easter week me and my boyfriend went to Sintra to spend the day and we took a lot of awesome pictures of the place that I wanted to share with you. If you ever come to Lisbon, please don't miss out on the opportunity to visit this gorgeous and scenic city.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The way there from Lisbon is pretty straight forward - just need to get on a train and leave in the last stop. I've been there multiple times before but the last time I was there was quite a few years ago so it was like seeing it for the first time. When we arrived to the little town of Sintra we were greeted by beautiful nature, there are so many hills in Sintra and the view is stunning, anywhere you look is picture worthy. Before starting our (very long!) climb to the Pena Palace we walked along the sidewalks where artisans stay all day selling their handcrafted items and had some regional pastries.</div>

Na semana da Páscoa eu e o meu namorado rumámos a Sintra para um dia bem passado nessa bela terra. Tirámos imensas fotografias e gostava de as partilhar convosco. Infelizmente não tivemos tempo de visitar a Quinta da Regaleira mas fica para outra oportunidade. Já fui a Sintra várias vezes mas a última vez que tinha ido fora na escola secundária por isso estava muito entusiasmada para ir.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Quem já lá foi sabe que a subida para o Palácio não é pêra doce mas eu recomendo completamente. Existem outras opções para a subida tal como um autocarro ou táxi mas eu acho que a subida é tão bonita que vale mesmo a pena o esforço. Vão devagarinho e sem pressas que quando lá chegarem vão ver que valeu a pena.<br />

The climb to the palace is no easy feat. We chose to go by foot instead of taking a bus because we thought it would be a really great experience, but be warned that it is not easy and seems like it's a neverending uphill climb. That said, it was so worth it. The climb there is surrounded by nature, and if that's something you love then it won't feel like it's too much.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At some point during the way up we reached the gates to the Pena park, which is where you can buy the tickets to the palace and then continue your way up inside the park which is huge and has so much to see, much more than you can see in just one day. The park was packed with so many beautiful things that we didn't get the chance to see because we were running out of time, it's definitely a place to return to.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="lang:italian">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ao fim de cerca de duas horas (parámos várias vezes para tirar fotos) chegámos ao portão dos jardins da Pena, onde podem comprar o bilhete que querem, Comprámos o bilhete que incluía os jardins e o palácio (14€), pelo que continuámos a nossa subida mas desta vez dentro do parque da Pena. O parque é enorme, lindíssimo e requer muito mais tempo para explorar do que o que tínhamos disponível. É definitivamente um local onde iremos regressar de futuro.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sem dúvida que a subida é bonita, mas também vos digo que ver o palácio a aproximar-se é um grande alívio. É absolutamente deslumbrante e a vista é impressionante. Sentámo-nos durante um bocado antes de entrar no palácio para recuperar o fôlego.<br />

Seeing the palace getting close is quite the relief. When we finally reached the palace we just sat there for a while enjoying the view. Being that high up from sea level does give you quite the privileged view over the land. Inside the palace we were able to visit several rooms, more than I remembered, such as the king and queen's chambers, the bathrooms, the kitchen/pantry, halls, and so many others.</div>

When we got to the bottom of the hill again we had some dinner and then caught our train back to Lisbon, tired but oh so delighted for the day trip.</div>

Dentro do palácio têm não só acesso aos terraços como também a algumas salas como os quartos do rei/rainha, cozinha, casa-de-banho, entre muitas outras. Se tiverem muita fome podem sempre parar para comer uma queijada ou um travesseiro quando descerem do palácio.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hey everyone, I hope you celebrated the international kissing day, which was yesterday but it's always a good time to celebrate. Last week Laura from <a href="http://www.whatlauralovesuk.com/" target="_blank">What Laura Loves</a> tagged me in this Spring Tag so here are my answers. Thank you for tagging me, it was fun to write.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">1 . What three colours remind you of Spring?</span></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mint, pink and white. My three favourite colours.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">2. What is the first thing you add to your Spring wardrobe?</span></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I would say sandals and light fabric dresses</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">3. What is the first item that you ditch from your wardrobe to make it more Spring-like?</span></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tights. I love to wear dresses and skirts all year round but I find them a bit uncomfortable. When spring comes I like to get rid of tights, stockings and all the related.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">4. What are your ultimate nude and bright lipsticks?</span></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For a bright lipstick I love this one by Etude House (I don't remember the number of the colour). For nudes I love this really cheap one by Essence, the colour is the number 06 - Barely there.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-RG9Pi5g_aITEgBi4r_Uq2BKce11kJ-nlYwtU6R7cTaztTAxrmcdzDowIzONurLhQmMuZya_J2VWwCxCLwaJ18xKTAfm978hDejohXMdOWXCVMPuyqUQ2IjZM7ZlKg3rtojARCg7DVWAu/s1600/spring+lipsticks.png" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-RG9Pi5g_aITEgBi4r_Uq2BKce11kJ-nlYwtU6R7cTaztTAxrmcdzDowIzONurLhQmMuZya_J2VWwCxCLwaJ18xKTAfm978hDejohXMdOWXCVMPuyqUQ2IjZM7ZlKg3rtojARCg7DVWAu/s400/spring+lipsticks.png" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">5. What is your signature Spring fragrance?</span></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I rarely wear perfume simply because I forget to put it on in the morning. I should create a perfume alarm so I'm reminded to spritz it on. My favourite spring fragrance is Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">6. What do you add or drop from your skin care routine?</span></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't switch it up too much, it was a hard work to get my skin to a balanced point where it's not too oily or too dehydrated, it's very moody, so I like to stick to what works. Maybe in spring I use less facial oils than in the winter, and go easier on the moisturiser because the one I love is quite rich. I use spf 50 all year round so I don't really add that specially for spring.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">7. Do you change your hair up in Spring?</span></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nope, I tend not to fuss too much with my hair. I love it, it's brown, super long (well not anymore because the hairdresser got a bit too excited with the scissors) and I like it just the way it is.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">8. Are there any exciting beauty releases that you can’t wait for?</span></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm not very updated when it comes to beauty releases since Portugal never gets anything right away anyways. By the time something comes to Portugal there's already new stuff coming out everywhere so it's best not to stay updated or I'd get very sad about the lack of access to stuff.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">9. What are your three favourite nail colours for Spring?</span></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't really like painting my nails but my favourites are this very pretty lilac by Essie (colour Nice is Nice), this bright blue by Kiko Milano (colour 389) and a very muted nude by Essie (colour Like Linen).<br />
<br />

<i><span style="color: #e06666;">10. Who do I tag?</span></i><br />
<br />
I didn't know who to tag so I'm inviting anyone who wants to answer it and leave your link below so I can read it.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Na semana passada a Laura do blog <a href="http://www.whatlauralovesuk.com/" target="_blank">What Laura Loves</a> nomeou-me numa Tag sobre a Primavera, por isso aqui estão as minhas respostas. Espero que gostem e convido qualquer pessoa a responder.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">1. Que três cores te fazem lembrar a Primavera?</span></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mint, cor-de-rosa e branco. As minhas cores favoritas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">2. Qual é a primeira coisa que adicionas ao guarda-roupa de primavera?</span></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Diria sandálias e vestidos com tecidos mais leves e frescos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><i>3. Qual é a primeira coisa que retiras do guarda-roupa para a primavera?</i></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Não sou pessoa de fazer esse género de "limpezas" e tirar a roupa de Inverno do guarda-roupa, mas assim que o tempo o permite gosto de me desfazer de collants e coisas do género.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">4. Quais são os teus batons nudes e coloridos preferidos?</span></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Colorido seria este rosa choque da Etude House (não sei o número da cor). Adoro a cor e acho que fica muito bem na Primavera. Em relação aos nudes comprei este recentemente na Essence (cor 06 - Barely there) e estou a gostar muito, é quase o tom dos meus lábios mas ligeiramente mais escuro.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">5. Qual a tua fragrância preferida para a primavera?</span></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Não costumo usar muito perfume pois esqueço-me de o colocar de manhã, mas o meu preferido é o Light Blue da Dolce & Gabana.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<i><span style="color: #e06666;">6. O que mudas na tua rotina de pele?</span></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Muito pouco. A minha pele tem muitas oscilações de humor por isso não gosto de mudar muita coisa quando consigo metê-la em equilíbrio. No entanto nos meses mais quentes uso menos óleos e hidratantes mais leves do que no inverno.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">7. Fazes algumas mudanças no cabelo para a primavera?</span></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nem pensar. Quem me conhece sabe que adoro o meu cabelo, não tenho qualquer género de coragem para o mudar e teria muito receio de o estragar se o fizesse. A minha mãe está sempre a dizer-me que ficou com o cabelo todo frizado por estar sempre a pintá-lo e secar, alisar, encaracolar, etc. Portanto não, é muito raro eu meter-me em grandes aventuras com o meu cabelo e cheira-me que tão cedo não mudo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><i>8. Existem alguns lançamentos no mundo da beleza pelos quais estejas a aguardar?</i></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Penso que não, não costumo estar muito a par disso, só quando os lançamentos já aconteceram e as pessoas estão todas a falar sobre isso é que me apercebo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">9. Quais as tuas cores de verniz preferidas para a primavera?</span></i></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Admito não ter muita paciência para pintar as unhas e afins, até porque tenho unhas muito fraquinhas que se dobram e partem facilmente, por isso não tem graça nenhuma passar imenso tempo de volta das unhas e passado dois dias estão a lascar. Mas quando as pinto geralmente recorro aos mesmos tons, este lilás da Essie (cor Nice is Nice), mint da Kiko Milano (cor 389) e uma cor mais esbranquiçada, quase do tom das unhas, também da Essie (Like Linen).<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm sorry that I didn't post the weight loss journal yesterday, but I really didn't have motivation for it to be honest, I'm a bit down on motivation to work out. Maybe today I'll have some extra motivation since game of thrones is coming out and I'm so excited and in a great mood! Now off to the post of today.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's a collaboration with other bloggers and you can see their contributions below. We're supposed to say what we would love to have from international shops that don't ship to our country/have stupidly expensive shipping. I can't tell you the amount of times I wish I could buy something, but it's either too expensive to ship to me or the shop doesn't even ship it to Portugal. This post is about that. My impossible wishlist. The things I'd love to have but chances are I never will.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="lang:italian">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Seria uma segunda-feira como outra qualquer se hoje não saísse um episódio de game of thrones, mas o facto é que é uma segunda-feira muito especial e eu estou super entusiasmada.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
O post de hoje não tem nada a ver com game of thrones, é uma colaboração com várias bloggers em que dizemos o que gostaríamos de comprar mas não podemos pois a loja em questão não faz envios para o nosso país ou os envios são escandalosamente caros. Como vivo em Portugal, e decerto quem está desse lado já se deparou com este problema, há muitas coisas que existem lá fora e que não podemos ter acesso. Esta wishlist é sobre isso mesmo: as coisas que eu compraria se pudesse mas nunca o farei provavelmente. Uma wishlist impossível.<br />
<br /></div>

I'm not sure if we were supposed to only mention fashion items, but there are a TON of beauty items that I would like to get if shipping wasn't a problem, namely from Paula's Choice. So in the realm of beauty I'll leave you with a few things I would love to get but I can't.</div>

Não estou certa se só se podia incluir moda no post ou não, mas eu adoro beleza e portanto tenho de incluir algumas coisinhas que adorava ter e talvez um dia ainda farei um esforço para as comprar.</div>

Okay, so technically spring started quite a few days ago. We took pictures of this outfit in a beautiful park and I thought it would be perfect to say hi to spring and wish it a looooong stay. I love spring and all it represents, nature reclaims the land and birds start singing, everything is beautiful and the streets are filled with life and people that come out to feel the first rays of sunshine. I would write a poem dedicated to spring if I was a tad bit more poetic than "spring, I like that shit".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This dress is not only beautiful (in my opinion) but it's also very special to me because it's what I was wearing the first time me and my boyfriend met, and he loves it just as much.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Oh and by the way, that cute flower crown? My boyfriend mentioned he used to make flower crowns with his grandmother when he was younger. We've been dating for over a year and I am still waiting for my flower crown. So this one is store bought at Primark.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<i><span style="color: #e06666;">Here are my 10 answers for Emma:</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>1. Do you have any blogging goals for 2015?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I started my blog quite recently (in December) so I'm still learning the tricks of the trade. My goals for my blog is to make it grow more and more and to keep learning and evolving my knowledge in blogging. A specific goal is to learn more about photography so I can take better pictures.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>2. What is your biggest regret in life?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think I have two. One is not taking care of my health as much as I should have growing up. I don't have any big health issues but I wish I had payed more attention into what kind of food I was putting into my body. My second regret is not giving myself more time to really figure out what I loved doing before going to university. I love psychology but I'm starting to feel more and more disconnected from it and I can't imagine myself as a clinical therapist to be honest.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>3. What's your favourite colour and why?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hard question! Okay I'm going to have to say...pink. It changes a bit depending on my mood, some days it's white, some days it's mint. But at the moment I think it's pink. I love pink, it's so girly and delicate, it makes me happy to see pink stuff.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>4. What are you most looking forward to this year?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm looking forward for my summer break. I'm going to spend the summer in Sweden with my boyfriend and maybe we'll travel somewhere else too. At the end of June I'll start a new stage of my life. I'll be free of classes and group assignments, final exams, and all that fun stuff. In September I'm going to start my master thesis and an internship and although it's scary and very unknown it's also very exciting.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>5. What's your favourite chocolate bar?</i><br />
<i><br /></i><span style="text-align: center;">Haha funny because I'm actually eating it right now. Let me get a picture. Here you go:</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI7A-0i1NYUb2AMLcKgl0w7eVGDTWHQMv3KE1u67QqbFiK3scotFuFCaVkoDhTICRbLkyyf63J0kIpvc0z-AqeLCsHH5rIP9HKm9Yk-9Jt_sE7-rDX_-C58cVyH9YsmLmhtbpYR-45AoAf/s1600/IMG_20150408_160532.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI7A-0i1NYUb2AMLcKgl0w7eVGDTWHQMv3KE1u67QqbFiK3scotFuFCaVkoDhTICRbLkyyf63J0kIpvc0z-AqeLCsHH5rIP9HKm9Yk-9Jt_sE7-rDX_-C58cVyH9YsmLmhtbpYR-45AoAf/s400/IMG_20150408_160532.jpg" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's a Swedish brand (Marabou) and my sweet boyfriend restocks me with it every time we meet. God bless his soul!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>6. Is there anything you're scared of (spiders, heights, snakes etc)?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There's the normal ones of course - insects in general like spiders and cockroaches (disgusting). I'm not really afraid of heights but I completely freeze at the sight of bees. There's something about bees that makes them look so menacing with all the buzzing. I'm terribly afraid of the dark, I know this is silly because I'm an adult but I'm very afraid of the dark and it's probably related to my love for horror movies. You know, it opens your imagination to all the creepy things. If I need to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night I will run back to my bedroom as soon as I can just in case. You never know. Dem spirits and stuff.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>7. What's your signature dish to cook for friends/family?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love to cook and my signature would have to be codfish with cream - it's a Portuguese dish and super yummy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>8. If you could spend time with someone who is no longer in your life, who would it be?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of my best friends from childhood and my teenage years. We grew apart but I miss him a lot.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>9. What do you love about blogging?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I really love the freedom of expression I get. It's so much fun to plan and write blog posts, to take pictures with my boyfriend in beautiful locations. I really love the design aspects of it, tweaking the blog's design to fit my taste - I've needed a great deal of help from my boyfriend though.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>10. What is your top tip for newbie bloggers?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm hardly an expert in anything related to blogging but if I had to give you a tip it would be to connect with your like-minded bloggers. I thought people would be very reluctant to share knowledge since there are so many blogs out there and it's hard to succeed in it but I have found that it's really not the case. I've only had good experiences so far with other bloggers being really friendly and sweet to me even though I'm just starting out and don't really have much to offer. Reach out to people, learn as much as you can, share the love and you'll get some love back.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">Questions for other bloggers:</span></i></div>

Este post vai ser um pouco diferente do habitual. Fui nomeada pela querida Emma do blog <a href="http://justems1.blogspot.pt/" target="_blank">Just Ems</a> para responder a 10 perguntas que ela colocou. Quando comecei o blog pensei que iria ser um caminho muito solitário mas não podia estar mais enganada. Até ao momento a comunidade de bloggers tem sido muito querida comigo e muito prestável. Se estão interessadas em blogs sobre perda de peso visitem o da Emma pois ela já perdeu imenso peso e continua na sua jornada, é sem dúvida uma inspiração.</div>

<span style="color: #e06666;"><i>Aqui estão as minhas 10 respostas para a Emma:</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>1. Tens algum objectivo para o teu blog em 2015?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Comecei o blog há pouquíssimo tempo (em Dezembro) por isso ainda estou a aprender os ossos do ofício. Os meus objectivos para o blog são fazê-lo crescer mais e evoluir na forma como escrevo e tiro fotografias para o mesmo. Estou também a aprender umas coisinhas de programação (com a ajuda do meu namorado que é programador) e espero aprender mais e mais para conseguir tornar o meu blog em tudo o que quero que seja.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>2. Qual o teu maior arrependimento na vida?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Penso que tenho dois. O primeiro foi não ter tomado tanta atenção à minha saúde quanto devia. Não tenho nenhum problema grave de saúde mas sinto que poderia ter tomado mais conta de mim e da minha alimentação. O segundo arrependimento foi não ter ponderado bem sobre o curso que queria escolher na universidade. Adoro Psicologia mas sinto-me cada vez menos interessada em ser psicóloga, não sei se vos faz sentido.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>3. Qual a tua cor preferida e porquê?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pergunta difícil! Depende muito do dia e do meu estado de espírito, mas penso que a cor mais transversal é o cor-de-rosa. Há dias em que prefiro branco, outros em que prefiro mint. Depende. Mas o cor-de-rosa é sem dúvida a minha cor, sinto que me fica bem e é uma cor que me deixa feliz. Quem é que não adora coisinhas cor-de-rosa?!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>4. O que mais aguardas este ano?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As férias do verão. Vou passar o Verão com o meu namorado à Suécia e acho que ele está a planear surpreender-me com uma escapadela a Londres ou a Paris. Ele bem que tenta ser subtil mas enfim, eu sou muito observadora. Em Junho acaba-se uma grande fase da minha vida e começa outra. Vou deixar de ter exames, trabalhos de grupo, aulas a que assistir, e todas essas coisas muito divertidas de faculdade (not). Vou começar o segundo ano do mestrado em que terei de escrever a tese e fazer estágio. Sinto-me assustada e entusiasmada ao mesmo tempo, estou mesmo a precisar deste abanão de novidade sabem? Ando cansada de aulas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>5. Qual o teu chocolate preferido?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ora aqui está uma boa pergunta enquanto eu como o espécimen em questão. É de uma marca sueca (Marabou) e é chocolate de leite com avelãs inteiras e é uma delícia. Aqui vai uma foto para não dizerem que guardo tudo para mim:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI7A-0i1NYUb2AMLcKgl0w7eVGDTWHQMv3KE1u67QqbFiK3scotFuFCaVkoDhTICRbLkyyf63J0kIpvc0z-AqeLCsHH5rIP9HKm9Yk-9Jt_sE7-rDX_-C58cVyH9YsmLmhtbpYR-45AoAf/s1600/IMG_20150408_160532.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI7A-0i1NYUb2AMLcKgl0w7eVGDTWHQMv3KE1u67QqbFiK3scotFuFCaVkoDhTICRbLkyyf63J0kIpvc0z-AqeLCsHH5rIP9HKm9Yk-9Jt_sE7-rDX_-C58cVyH9YsmLmhtbpYR-45AoAf/s400/IMG_20150408_160532.jpg" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>6. Tens medo de alguma coisa?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tenho medo das coisas normais como é óbvio - insectos em geral, principalmente baratas! Grr baratas, odeio. Uma vez estava em Espanha na casa-de-banho e quando cocei a cabeça, tinha lá uma barata. Foi horrível. Sem ser baratas, detesto abelhas também. Depois um medo que seja mesmo medo, talvez o escuro. Desde pequenina que sempre adorei filmes de terror e sabem como é, abre a imaginação para todas as coisas medonhas que se escondem no escuro. Ainda hoje se for à casa-de-banho durante a noite tenho de dar uma corridinha de volta para o quarto, não vá o diabo tecê-las!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>7. O que gostas de cozinhar para amigos/família?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Adoro cozinhar, mas penso que o prato que faço quando quero impressionar é bacalhau com natas. Não só é a minha comida preferida como sabe sempre bem.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>8. Se pudesses passar tempo com alguém que já não está na tua vida, quem seria?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Um grande amigo de infância e adolescência. Não nos chateámos, simplesmente crescemos em direcções diferentes e deixámos o contacto, mas guardo boas memórias.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>9. O que adoras em ter um blog?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Adoro a liberdade de expressão, saber que tenho um canto que é meu e onde posso ser eu. Adoro planear, escrever e editar posts. Gosto do facto de ter um hobbie e de o partilhar de certo modo com o meu namorado pois ele gosta muito de estar envolvido, leva-me a vários locais bonitos para se certificar de que as fotos ficam como quero, ajuda-me a corrigir posts, ajuda-me nas partes mais técnicas de programação...enfim, está bastante envolvido e é muito divertido para ambos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>10. Qual a tua dica para bloggers que ainda estejam a começar?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Não sou de todo a pessoa certa para responder a esta questão pois sou uma principiante e há muita coisa que não sei. Mas se tivesse de dizer uma coisa que me tem ajudado muito a sentir que o meu esforço tem algum género de recompensa é o apoio de outras bloggers. Não tenham medo de estabelecer comunicação com outras pessoas pois pela minha experiência as pessoas são bastante simpáticas e prestáveis. Tenho aprendido bastante e sentido que começo a fazer parte de uma comunidade em vez de ser eu sozinha a criar conteúdo para o meu blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">Aqui vão as minhas perguntas para outras bloggers:</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Se apenas pudésses escolher 3 artigos para uma ilha deserta, quais seriam e porquê?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Quais os teus planos para as próximas férias?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Se só púdesses escutar um artista/banda para o resto da vida, quem seria?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. Se pudésses ir a um local qualquer no mundo neste preciso momento, onde irias e porquê?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. Momento criativo: escreve 4 versos para um poema/música sobre o que te apetecer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. O que adorarias saber fazer?</div>

8. O que mais gostas em ti mesma?</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
9. Diz pelo menos uma coisa que te deixe feliz.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Hey everyone</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This week has been so much fun, my boyfriend is spending the week in Lisbon with me and we've been going around like tourists so he gets the full Lisbon experience. We rent an apartment and the cooking conditions aren't the best so we've been eating out every single day and not the healthiest of stuff unfortunately. I don't regret it a single bit, this week was amazing and I'm so sad to be going back to school in two days.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
For breakfast I've been having bread with either cheese or ham, and some strawberries on the side.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first evening of our vacation we went to Burger King because it was the only place open at that time, we got there quite late. It was my first time eating at Burger King and I don't get all the hype about it, I didn't think it was anything spectacular.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For one of the days we went to this amazing market where our most famous restaurants have a food stand and you get to try their awarded food for cheaper. We had chimichurri chicken with fries and salad on the side, it was really good.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We went a few times to a fast food salad restaurant that I love. I'm not sure if it exists in other countries but it's called Vitaminas and you can make your own salad with your chosen ingredients. It's delicious. I had a smoked salmon and prawn salad with roasted vegetables, boiled egg and brie cheese.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We also had some traditional Portuguese food for him to try such as codfish with cream (my favourite food), duck rice and some pork meat with clams which name I cannot translate.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love Italian food so we went to an italian restaurant and I had some mushroom risotto (yes, I love mushrooms, they're a recurrent theme here at the blog it seems). My boyfriend had spaghetti à la Carbonara and I have to say I regret not taking that, it was heavenly.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't have any pictures of it but we also had dinner at one of my favourite asian restaurants.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm not proud of me when I say I've been eating a lot of sweets and treats, but I also don't regret it because they were delicious and my boyfriend isn't in Lisbon every day so we wanted to really enjoy his time here. With chocolate cake. A lot of chocolate cake. As snacks we've been going to coffee houses or homemade ice cream shops. Ice cream, cheesecakes, chocolate cake, you name it. There's a new place that opened last week in Lisbon, it's a place where they make all of their pastries and deserts with nutella...need I say more? It was darn good!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Walking, walking walking. If you know Lisbon, you know you have to walk a lot to get anywhere and it's full of hills (it's nickname is even The city of the seven hills). We've been climbing all the way to visit castles and palaces, the other day we walked for 5 or 6 hours. I think I'll have a post about that day trip because we took amazing pictures of the palace.</div>

Olá a todos<br />

Adorei esta semana, o meu namorado veio passá-la comigo a Lisboa e temos estado a visitar todas as atracções turísticas porque ele nunca teve essa experiência. Alugámos um apartamento no Bairro alto e as condições para cozinhar não são as ideais por isso temos comido fora todos os dias.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Para o pequeno almoço tenho comido pão ou croissaint com queijo ou fiambre e morangos para acompanhar.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Na primeira noite do meu namorado em Lisboa fomos ao Burger King, infelizmente. Queria comer comida portuguesa para ele experimentar mas já estava tudo fechado à hora a que fomos por isso teve de ser burger king,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Num dos dias fomos ao mercado Time-out no Cais do Sodré e adorámos. Comemos frango chimichurri com batata frita e salada numa das barraquinhas (Miguel Laffan se não me engano) e para sobremesa foi uma mini-bola com creme recheada com nutella.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fomos ao Vitaminas algumas vezes, adoro lá ir. As saladas são uma delícia, têm imensos ingredientes por onde escolher e saio sempre muito satisfeita. A salada que comi tinha rúcula, alface, fatias de salmão fumado, gambas, queijo brie, ovo cozido e legumes assados.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
De comida portuguesa comemos bacalhau com natas (a minha comida preferida), carne de porco à alentejana e arroz de pato. Gostava que o meu namorado tivesse experimentado uma francesinha mas em Lisboa não sei onde há boas francesinhas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Adoro comida italiana por isso experimentámos um que fica perto dos restauradores, na Rua de Santo Antão. Eu comi risotto de cogumelos e o meu namorado comeu esparguete à carbonara. Ambos os pratos estavam muito bons e os preços eram bastante acessíveis. Se me lembrasse do nome dizia pois recomendo o restaurante, muito bom.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Não é com orgulho que digo que passei a semana a comer doces e bolos, mas também não o digo com arrependimento. Estava tudo uma delícia e o meu namorado não está em Lisboa todos os dias por isso quisemos aproveitar bem o tempo. Cheesecake, pastéis de nata, bolo de chocolate, gelado caseiro, etc. Fomos ao Santini comer gelado umas 3 vezes, nunca tinha lá ido antes mas sou uma fã agora pois o gelado é uma maravilha. Também experimentámos a Nut Chiado onde fazem tudo com nutella. Comemos um nut kebab e estava muito bom.</div>

Andar muito. Lisboa não é a cidade das sete colinas por acaso. Temos caminhado para todo o lado e fomos ao palácio da Pena no outro dia (quem já foi sabe o quão cansativo é!).</div>

Over the years I've come across a lot of brands that offer good options for plus size women. I'm a big fan of online shopping so some of these options will be online shopping options, if that's not your thing there's some physical shops too on this list.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.forever21.com/" target="_blank">Forever21</a> (XL to 3X)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The golden child. I love Forever21, it's probably my favourite shop and I don't see this love affair coming to an end anytime soon. The clothes in their plus size range are very affordable and so so cute. It's likely you'll have a Forever21 around, I don't because I'm in Portugal so I shop online. If you don't have one around and you need to pay for shipping, here's a little tip: if you subscribe to their newsletter they'll send you a 6€ discount by e-mail, which will help pay for the shipping.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.hm.com/" target="_blank">H&M+</a> (up to a size 54)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Not all H&M shops carry their H&M+ range, so check on their website which do so you can check it out. There's too much hate in the plus size community when it comes to H&M and the way they seem to neglect their plus size range. We need to keep in mind that H&M is just starting out into selling plus size clothes, they need time to grow and develop. I personally cannot complain, they do offer a very small variety of clothes but the ones they do offer are great quality, good size range and very fashionable. Definitely a shop to keep an eye on and see where they take their plus size range.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.asos.com/women/curve-plus-size/cat/pgecategory.aspx?cid=9577&via=top" target="_blank">ASOS curve</a> (up to a uk size 28)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I find ASOS very overpriced, at least by Portuguese standards, but they still offer an amazing array of beautiful clothes and their size selection is amazing. Their shipping is pretty quick too which is always a plus.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.laredoute.com/" target="_blank">La Redoute</a> (up to a size 60)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I highly recommend La Redoute. Not the most stylish place, that's true, but if you keep an eye on it you'll find great deals.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Primark (up to a size 20)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The place where I shop the most. The prices are so low I just can't contain myself. The clothes are always in trend and very cute. Not the best quality clothes, that's true, but you can't expect much when you pay that cheap for clothes. Personally I do not like their jeans, I don't think they're well tailored to a plus size body and they're ill-fitting. Anything else (shirts, dresses, skirts, etc) I really like.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.c-and-a.com/" target="_blank">C&A</a> (up to size 54)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm not entirely sure if this shop is easily accessible in a lot of countries, I still wanted to mention it in case you get find it around you because it is without a doubt the best place I've found to buy plus size jeans. Their jeans are so well constructed for plus size bodies, they carry a ton of different options and the price is very friendly.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Since I'm in Portugal and I don't have easy access to a lot of shops, I can only recommend you the ones I did try. Even so, I'd like to leave you with a little list of shops I have found along the way and that carry very cute plus size clothes. I have not ordered from these shops (yet) so I cannot provide information on the quality or fit of the clothes but I've seen other bloggers that love them.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.fashiontofigure.com/" target="_blank">Fashion to Figure</a> - LOVE EVERYTHING! Unfortunately there's no shipping to Portugal. Maybe one day.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.simplybe.co.uk/" target="_blank">Simply Be</a> - a bit on the pricey side in my opinion, but the clothes look so high quality and well made.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://direct.asda.com/george/clothing/10,default,sc.html" target="_blank">George</a> - sooo cheap, it's a shame I can't get my hands on their items without paying for shipping. I hate paying for shipping!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://missguided.co.uk/" target="_blank">Missguided</a> - Another regular sizes shop that decided to start making plus size clothes. It's amazing that shops are starting to realize they need to offer more size diversity. Their clothes are cute but pricey.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.boohoo.com/" target="_blank">Boohoo</a> (up to a size 54) - it's growing on me more and more. Very sexy and daring kind of style, it's not for everyone, but I'm starting to absolutely love it. Free shipping worldwide.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.lanebryant.com/" target="_blank">Lane Bryant</a> - old fashioned for my taste but you might like it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.dorothyperkins.com/" target="_blank">Dorothy Perkins</a> - Love it, specially their dress selection. The prices are quite affordable and they go on sale often.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.torrid.com/" target="_blank">Torrid</a> (up to a size 58) - I love everything in it, very worth for the jeans as far as I know.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://evans.co.uk/" target="_blank">Evans</a> (up to a size 60) - Super worth it for the great lingerie at an accessible price.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.newlook.com/" target="_blank">New look</a> (up to a 56) - Very trendy and young clothes.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.thebigtightscompany.co.uk/" target="_blank">Big tights company</a> - if you want tights, I soooo want to make an order in this shop.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Since I think this is a very useful thing to know, I'll create a menu section with this information so you'll find it whenever you want to.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #e06666;"><i>Which are your favorite shops? Let me know, I'm always looking for new ones (specially lingerie).</i></span></div></div><div class="lang:italian">Se antigamente era difícil encontrar peças que servissem a mulheres mais cheínhas, hoje em dia temos mais opções de escolha. Ao longo dos anos fui descobrindo em que lojas se encontram as melhores opções (a um preço em conta) e quero partilhar convosco uma pequena lista das lojas que mais gosto. Sou grande adepta de encomendas online por isso algumas destas opções são de lojas que não existem em Portugal e que têm de encomendar pela internet.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Primark (até ao tamanho 52)</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">É o sítio onde compro mais roupa. Os preços são tão baixos que vale mesmo a pena. As roupas que vendem seguem as tendências e são mesmo giras. Não é a loja que oferece a melhor qualidade em termos de tecidos e construcção das peças, é verdade, mas também pelo preço que se paga não se pode esperar muito. Pessoalmente detesto as calças da Primark, não acho que estejam bem construídas para um corpo mais cheínho e não acho que fiquem bem. O resto adoro, vou lá imensas vezes e até hoje não fiquei desiludida (excepto com as calças).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">C&A (46 até 54 se não me engano)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Não é a minha loja preferida em termos gerais, acho-a muito antiquada, mas na minha opinião é o melhor local para comprar calças. São de óptima qualidade, têm opções diferentes que nunca mais acabam (até fico um bocado assoberbada quando lá vou porque não sei por onde começar), duram bastante tempo e têm uma larga selecção de tamanhos.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.forever21.com/" target="_blank">Forever21</a> (XL até 3X)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A jóia da coroa. Adoro esta loja, não existe em Portugal mas podem encomendar online. O preço dos portes de envio para Portugal são 6€ (dica: se subscreverem à newsletter mandam-vos um email com 6€ de desconto, o que paga os portes).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www2.hm.com/pt_pt/senhora/comprar-por-produto/tamanhos-grandes.html" target="_blank">H&M+</a> (até ao 54)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nem todas as H&M vendem a gama H&M+, se estiverem em Lisboa eu sei que a do Chiado tem. Se não encontrarem nenhuma loja que venda a gama de tamanhos grandes podem sempre encomendar online pois esta semana a H&M lançou a sua loja online. A gama tem poucas peças é verdade, mas as que tem são de óptima qualidade, o preço não é dos mais baratos mas também não é nada do outro mundo. Vale muito a pena espreitar, principalmente para calças e casacos que são difíceis de encontrar se forem mais cheínhas.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.asos.com/women/curve-plus-size/cat/pgecategory.aspx?cid=9577&via=top" target="_blank">ASOS</a> (até ao 56)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Pessoalmente acho que é uma loja muito cara, mas vale a pena para encontrar peças de boa qualidade que não encontrem em mais lado nenhum. O espectro de tamanhos é bastante bom também e geralmente a gama que eles consideram "tamanhos regulares" vai até ao tamanho 48/50, o que já é plus size e encontra-se roupas muito giras lá. Estou muito satisfeita com os artigos que lá encomendei ao longo dos anos e com o envio que é sempre muito rápido. Os portes de envio são grátis.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.laredoute.pt/" target="_blank">La Redoute</a> (até ao tamanho 60)</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Os tamanhos variam muito de acordo com os artigos, mas a gama normal vai geralmente até ao 50 e a gama de tamanhos grandes até ao 60. Não é a loja mais trendy, é verdade. Não digo que a roupa seja antiquada mas parece que o público alvo são pessoas com uns bons anos acima dos meus. No entanto é uma loja onde encomendo com bastante frequência, se estiverem de olho encontram peças com um óptimo desconto e o atendimento ao cliente é excelente. Os portes de envio custam 3€ e as devoluções são grátis. Se estiverem atentas encontram muitas promoções com portes de envio grátis.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Outras lojas onde nunca encomendei mas que explorar mas oferecem boas opções plus size (até à data todas elas enviam para Portugal):</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.simplybe.co.uk/" target="_blank">Simply Be</a> - não acho uma loja nada barata mas as peças são de óptima qualidade pelo que já ouvi dizer.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://direct.asda.com/george/clothing/10,default,sc.html" target="_blank">George</a> - preços muito baratos e coisas muito giras. Os portes são 6£ se não me engano.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://missguided.co.uk/" target="_blank">Missguided</a> - começaram recentemente a vender a sua linha plus size mas já encomendei da loja há uns anos da linha regular. Não é bem o meu estilo mas pode ser o vosso por isso espreitem.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.boohoo.com/" target="_blank">Boohoo</a> (até ao 54) - cada vez mais gosto desta loja. Tem um estilo bastante arrojado e atrevido e estou desejosa de fazer uma encomenda. Tem portes grátis para todo o mundo.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.lanebryant.com/" target="_blank">Lane Bryant</a> - Loja antiquada (na minha opinião) e cara.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.dorothyperkins.com/" target="_blank">Dorothy Perkins</a> - Adoro, peças giríssimas a um preço acessível (em algumas coisas). Têm saldos com alguma frequência.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.torrid.com/" target="_blank">Torrid</a> (até ao tamanho 58) - Adoro muitas coisas nesta loja, mas é bastante cara. No entanto merece ser mencionada.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://euro.evansfashion.com/?geoip=home" target="_blank">Evans</a> (até ao tamanho 60) - Loja de alta qualidade mas cara. Vale muito a pena pela lingerie.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.newlook.com/" target="_blank">New look</a> (até ao 56) - adoro, tem coisas lindas, nunca calhou encomendar por acaso mas gosto muito de ver as novidades.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>NOTA</b>: Já fiz muitas encomendas online ao longo dos anos e aprendi com alguns erros. Se encomendarem alguma coisa fora da Europa certifiquem-se de que o preço final não ultrapassa 40€ para não pagarem taxas alfandegárias em Portugal Continental.</div><br />

I couldn't come up with a title for this outfit so this one will have to do. In fact it was my boyfriend that suggested it, initially he thought an alliteration would be cool, if it were for him the post would be called "sweating in my sweater" because he thought it was so genius that the words are similar. Just kidding boo, please keep helping me naming my posts!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Such a comfortable sweater, the fabric is so soft and stretchy. All the bling bling around the necklace makes it very easy to throw on and leave the house (not much accessorizing needed). At the back it has a little bow that I find adorable.</div>

I found this saying a couple of years ago but now I don't remember where so I made one myself. Just thought it was funny (and so true) to share. I wish I took my own advice, I find so many excuses not to do things!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm super excited. Not only am I on spring break but my boyfriend is coming tomorrow from Sweden to spend easter with me. It will be so much fun and I can't wait.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yesterday I went shopping for jeans and I found the perfect ones. I must say it was a hard task though, I'm currently between sizes and the jeans I have are too big but the size down is still tight. A bit frustrating.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tomorrow I'm going for a much needed trip to the hairdresser. I love the feeling of having a light fresh cut but I haven't found the perfect hairdresser yet. I never end up leaving 100% satisfied.</div>

For some breakfasts I had the normal green smoothie but around the middle of the week my fruit ran out and I didn't want to buy more since I'll be gone this week so didn't make sense to stock up on it. When I didn't have green smoothies I had some toasts with turkey breast and a cup of milk/coffee.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On monday me and my family tried a new restaurant downtown called Found You and they serve fondue. It was so so good, I really loved that place. The fondue came with a few varieties of meat and prawns, french fries, rice, fresh fruit and an assortment of 4 dressings. For dessert - no judging - I had chocolate fondue with strawberries. Delicious stuff.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I believe it was on tuesday that I made one of my favourite dishes: bolognese. Can't really go wrong with a bolognese, specially if it has plenty of tiny bits of carrot (I love biting on carrots in a bolognese). I used quinoa pasta and served with with broccolli on the side. For another meal I made meatballs with mash potato and broccolli.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The rest of the week I had a lot of grilled chicken, quinoa pasta and egg (I love pairing a fried egg with pasta because then I don't need a sauce, I use the yolk as a sauce for the pasta and it's all good).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I also had omelette on one of the days because I wasn't very hungry and didn't feel like cooking.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today for dinner I made mushroom risotto with broccolli, red bell pepper and some pak choi.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As snacks I've been having a lot of fruit, that I also bring to school in a container, usually orange or apple. I also bring a sandwich with me to school or a banana.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not to mention a LOT of water. I drink plenty of water normally but the weather is starting to warm up so I drink even more.</div>

Estou super entusiasmada. Não só estou de férias da Páscoa como o meu namorado chega a Lisboa amanhã para passar as férias comigo. Vai ser super divertido, tenho imensas coisas planeadas.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fui às compras ontem para comprar calças de ganga e encontrei umas que adoro. Perder peso é muito bonito mas ao fim de algum tempo a roupa que temos deixa de nos servir o que é um pouco triste se for roupa de que gostam muito, como é o meu caso. De momento é difícil comprar calças pois estou entre dois números diferentes (o meu tamanho normal está largo, mas o número abaixo está apertado). Mas fui à C&A e encontrei o que procurava.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Amanhã vou cortar o cabelo que bem preciso. Adoro a sensação de ter o cabelo com um corte novo e saudável mas ainda não encontrei um cabeleireiro que me deixe completamente satisfeita.</div>

Em alguns dias o pequeno-almoço foi o normal (batidos verdes) mas lá para o meio da semana acabou-se a fruta e como vou estar fora de casa durante as férias da Páscoa não valia a pena estar a comprar mais. Nos dias em que não bebi batidos comi tostas com fiambre de peru e um copo de leite/café com leite.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Na segunda-feira eu e a minha família fomos ao Bairro Alto experimentar um restaurante de que ouvimos falar, o Found you. Este restaurante serve fondue de vários tipos mas o que comemos foi o mix (vinha com vários tipos de carne e gambas). Para acompanhar vem fruta fresca, batata frita, arroz e 4 molhos diferentes. Recomendo vivamente se gostarem de fondue pois o restaurante não só é muito agradável em termos de decoração como a comida é muito boa. Para a sobremesa comemos um delicioso fondue de chocolate com fruta.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Penso que foi na terça que fiz um dos meus pratos preferidos: esparguete à bolonhesa. Uma bolonhesa nunca cai mal, é o meu lema. Adoro e acompanhei com esparguete de quinoa e bróculos. Para outra refeição fiz almôndegas com puré de batata e bróculos (ando numa fase de bróculos, o que é que se há-de fazer).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Na restante semana não alternei muito as refeições, comi frango grelhado com batata cozida ou com esparguete e ovo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hoje ao jantar fiz risotto de cogumelos com bróculos, pimento vermelho e couve pak choi.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ao lanche tenho comido muita fruita que também costumo trazer para a faculdade, normalmente banana, laranja ou maçã. Se estiver em casa quando me dá a fome como uma sandes com pão de sementes.</div>

Fiz exercício duas vezes, 40 minutos cada. Não é muito eu sei e cheira-me que na próxima semana vai ser ainda pior pois vou estar de férias.</div>
