Spring Nail Art

Hello everybody! Today I'll show you a very spring nail art. So, yesterday I was bored in my house watching Teen Wolf and listening to music when I saw how boring my nails were. And I wondered, why not to do something colourful?

My first attempt of 'colourful and spring' nails incluided a red&white ying and yang nail, the same ying and yang but with a pinky nail polish. Also I draw some 'vintage' flowers (which were and are my favourites) and a completly green pastel one.

My second (and current on my nails) attempt were just vintage flowers with pinky, red and orange colours. So lovely!

I personally think that the second one are the best for spring season...
what do you think? What are your favourites? Would you like me to post the tutorial of any of them? Comment down below!

Goodbye and see you soon!

Dad's 50th Birthday

 Yesterday, Saturday the 12th, my dad was turning 50 years old and we threw a little and familiar party to celebrate it. It was so nice and warm because his brother came with his wife and sons (my aunt and cousins) also my mother's brother came with his wife, daughter and father-in-law. As my other aunt's birthday was on Friday, her mother, granny and brothers also came along to celebrate with us. I can say that I'm so lucky to have most of my family living in the same city which is nice because we often visit each other and spend our weekends all together in my grandmother's house. 

I took some pictures that I wanted to share with you guys :) but first, here's the cake that my dad received.

('Feliz cumple' means 'Happy Birthday' and if you're wondering why it is in Spanish, check out my last post here)

It wasn't a big deal, something really simple as my dad is; anyways it was delicious and he really liked it!

Also we had brownies (made by me, of course), cupcakes and a kind of macaroons with milk jam, coconut and white&black chocolate.

And yes, we had an awesome night talking, eating and remembering old times as every family does when they meet. Well, hope you like this very familiar post that I wanted to share with you and I see you soon!

THURSDAY THOUGHTS | Who I really am?

 Hello there! How are you? It's Thursday finally, just one day left and the weekend is here with us! As today is Thursday and a couple of weeks ago I shared with you my first post of a personal series (let's call them series even though I don't know if they're series actually! Haha) where I talk to you about differents points of view of something. (If you're interested in the previous post, click here) Today I want to talk about myself, to give you an idea of who I really am.
 You may know that my name is Camila if you read my little bio (on the right, under the picture of myself) and you also know that I prefer being called 'Cams'. That's fine because it's true. If you've been reading my blog since the beginning or for a while now, you may notice that I've never told where I'm from and why. Well, this is the point that I wanted to reach. I'm from South America and I live in the land of 'the end of the world'; Argentina, in other words.
 If you're wondering, why I decided to run a blog in English instead of Spanish it's simple: I rather talk in English all day instead of Spanish, I find my language sooo boring. Also, I've been learning English since I was 8 years old and this was the perfect challenge for me to test what I've learnt. And, last, because I started a Spanish blog and it didn't work; it seems that 'my people' don't read blogs and this kind of stuff. Who on Earth don't read a blog!? Them.
 If you're wondering, why I've decided to tell you this is because my blog is going on well and you'll notice that I don't talk about MAC products or shops about Forever 21, Topshop, Lush, etc. but, sadly here in Argentina we don't have those shops (it's a completly shame, I want to cry). The only one here is MAC but it's very far away from my city and it's a craziness the idea of go to another province (or state) just to buy makeup.
 And, if you're wondering, why I've never told this before is because sometimes I feel ashamed of where I'm from. Argentina is not the perfect country to live, I don't really like it but I try, because of my family. And not all the people around the world love argentinians, I think I was afraid of being rejected if I said it at first.
 But now I did, you know it about me and I'm feeling better now because it was stuck in my throat. Now it's going to be different!
 Hope you enjoy it and accept me as the real me now! I really enojoy writting and reading blogs and I don't want to stop doing it :)

Goodbye and see you soon!

Tie Cakes | Recipe

 Happy Thursday! C'mon, show me a smile, one day left until weekend! And, as I want to sugar-coat-you, I'm posting today a homemade recipe that my granny always cook... tie cakes! I don't actually know the original name of these but my grandma always says that they look like little ties, that's why I call them 'tie cakes'. Anyways, here's the recipe and the process...

You'll need:
1/2 kg of rising flour
1/4 kg of butter
1 tea spoon of vanilla extract
1 cup of milk
1 cup of sugar
2 eggs

Cooking time!

 On a bowl, put  all the butter, the cup of sugar, both eggs and the vainilla extract. I've mixed all the ingredients with a fork, it's quite difficult at first but becomes easier then. Once you have a smooth and homogeneous mixture, you need to pour the milk and blend again. Then, add the flour slowly until you can knead it with your hands.

 Now you have a big and sticky thing, you'll need more flour to be adding to the dough so you can knead it until it's less sticky. Once it doesn't stick on your hands, leave it in the bowl with cling film on the top; the dough will need to rest for about 15 minutes.

 One of the last steps to do is, cut the dough in a smaller ball. Then you'll need to stretch it with flour and a rolling pin. Cut little -or big- squares and a little hole in the center of it with a knife so you can take a tip and pass it by the center so it looks like a 'tie'.
 On a saucepan, put some oil, I used sunflower oil -just in case you want to know- When it's boiling and you can see bubbles on the top, throw one of your tie cakes inside, being careful obviously. If it fries swiftly, the oil is ready but if it takes its minutes, leave it a little more to get hotter. When your ties look goldy and nice, take them away and put them on a absorbent paper.

 Once all of them are ready, you can add some common or icing sugar, or any other toppings you want to. I ate them with common sugar -because I hadn't icing- and some milk jam, delicious!

 I hope you liked the recipe and you understood every single step, leave me in the comments below what do you think and if you try it, make sure to tell me how good they were!
 Sorry for not being posting for a long time ago but my computer broke and I was very busy with school stuff; I promise I'll post more often! Haha

Goodbye and see you soon!
