HOW TO: Fluffy Cake


                Hey there! The other rainy day I was boring in my house and I decided to bake a cake, since I was running out of an ingredient (the one I can’t remember now) my mom and I ‘created’ a new recipe which I called ‘Fluffy cake’ because it’s so fluffy and smooth and delicious! There can be a possibility that we didn’t create a new recipe, so if you know the recipe from before… all rights reserved to you!!

Ingredients:
2 Eggs
100 grs of butter
8 tablespoons of sugar
5 tablespoons of flour
Vanilla extract
*Optional
Cocoa powder
Walnuts as wanted

Preparation:

First of all, we separate the yolk from the white and we pour them into two separated bowls.
Hi to my feet in the bottom, oops.

Taking the yolks, we add 5 tablespoons of sugar and then we mix with an electric mixer (you can also use a wire whisk or a fork or whatever you want!) until we get a creamy-white consistency.

                            

Then, in the same bowl we were working previously, we add the butter chopped into rectangles or squares. We keep blending until the dough takes the consistency of a blended butter. If you want your cake to be a chocolate cake, add 3 (or more!) tablespoons of cocoa powder and keep blending!


Taking the other bowl with the egg white, add 3 tablespoons of sugar, the vanilla extract and whip them together until you get stiff peaks.


Going back to the first bowl, we add the walnuts (or any other topic you want!) and a little bit of the mixture of egg whites. We toss it all together, adding little by little the egg white mixture until we have a soft dough.



I baked my cake in an electric oven at 200°C (392°F) for 20 to 30 minutes, let it cool and then take it off of its mould. You can add any topics you want to the top and c’est fini! Time to enjoy!

Hope you enjoy it! Leave a comment below telling me what do you think about it! 

Goodbye and see you soon!

A Whole New Life

           Five years from now, I was preparing myself to get into High School, enjoying my free time with friends, going to the pool, having fun. I was so busy worrying about how cool High School would be. I remember I was crazy in love with Justin Bieber back then (I still love him, though but I was actually crazy at that time); I used to write and read a lot of fanfictions, waiting for the precious moment one of those stories would come true. But it never happened, obviously. If you ask my young self what does she see for my future, she would be clueless; she wouldn’t even think about the huge changes I’ve gone through, meeting people I was fancying to. And losing those I’ve loved so much since forever. I bet this happened to all of us; if we see our Young innocent selves waiting for a lot of stuff to happen, that actually never happened, they would be disappointed, sad and also angry about it all. But I also bet, if those things that we fancied a lot never happened, was for a solid reason that the Destiny, God, the Universe, has planned. It’s obvious, we’ve gone through pain, happiness, excitement, tiredness but it made us who we are. So, do you regret it all?
           
 A couple months ago, my best friend, Ariel, decided to go abroad for a year to France. It seemed like forever, the day never came but it did. He’s leaving next week and yesterday we spent the last day together before he leaves to achieve his dream. I’m very happy for him, he’s an absolutely lovely person. Ariel’s the kind of people you meet and know he’ll give his heart to you if you ask to. He’s been by my side, still being my friend, when my other friends left and that simple detail means a lot to me. I really love him, he’s become like a brother and I tried, I try and will try my best to help him with whatever he needs; because, that’s what siblings do! Chino (his real nickname) if you’re reading this, I’m so proud of you, you’re an amazing person I’m so happy to have met. Don’t worry about anything people say, you’re incredible, you can do whatever you want and I admire you, a lot. I hope this travel makes you stronger and I hope you gain a lot of experience; enjoy it, you deserve it! I’m going to miss you but it’s okay, life’s like this!

              Five years ago, I was starting High School, fascinated by the huge change I was going through but still happy and anxious to know about everything. I felt empowered, like no one could tear me down. Now, being a graduated, I feel the same way. I’m happy and anxious about the huge change I’m going to face in a couple weeks but, at the same time, I’m scared, I’m sad, I want to stop the time for a while, take a breath and admire my High School years, cry a Little and get stronger to keep moving on. And, again, I bet almost everyone feels or felt this same way. Or maybe not. I’m being anything but dramatic, I’m not leaving to China, to have a new life, this is just College but still, I can’t believe the day has come! I’ve share five lovely years with my Friends, I’ve gained a lot of experiences, memories, lessons these years and they built me the way I’m now. And realising that I’m not going to go to the same old school I’ve always went, I’m not going to meet the same classmates I’ve always had, I’m not going to see my friends on a daily basis as I did, breaks my heart a little. And what hurts most is knowing that some of my friends, included my boyfriend, are starting College next week when I’m starting next month. We all took different paths and it’s incredible, now we can see how different we are. My group of friends’ careers vary from Architecture to Dental Hygienist to Humanity Professor to Biotechnology to English Translator, we’re not all the same as we thought at first. But that’s okay because it made us work as we did.

               Being at the end of an important period and at the beginning of a new one makes me shiver but also makes me want to face it. I know life is a constant change and we have to be prepared or just get used to it. We can’t leave the challenges and run away, we can’t stop the time and repeat our favourites moments, we can’t skip stages but we can face them, we can learn from each period in our life and get new lessons; it would strengthen the person who we are, it would change and sculpt us in a new way, always for the good because we have to learn how to take the good in every stage we’re. We can do that; we can face anything we have in front of us. We’re stronger than we think and we’re smarter, we can take the good into the bad.

                  Tell me what was your biggest change in life, or if you’re going through one nowadays. We can exchange experiences and knowledge and get over it together!

Goodbye and see you soon!

2015 goals: Achieved or nah?

     Happy 2016 everyone! It's been almost a month since the year's started and I obviously arrived late for a proper introduction post. Oops! I made it again!

     Last year, on February, I wrote down a tiny list with the goals I wanted to achieve on 2015 and I thought it would be a great idea to share with you my victories and my give ups. So let's get started!

Goal number 1: Get fit, healthy and strong.

     Oh God, no! I couldn't make this one! It's a terrible beginning to be honest; I tried my best to go to the gym and to become vegetarian, to eat more vegetables, fruit and less junk food. And, although I could stop eating a lot of junk food, I didn't actually become a healthy person as I wished. 
However, about being a 'strong person', I think I'm one now. Last year was an amazing year, full of beautiful moments, I enjoyed to the limit, where I become confident and happy. 2014 was a good year too but I went through pretty bad situations that made me feel weak; I lost some friends, felt sad, angry, resentful. I was trying so hard to become someone strong, so everyone who dragged me down, those who hurt me, would feel less and miserable, I wanted them to regret the fact of losing me. It was terrible, that wasn't me. I was acting childish having those thoughts but I was hurt and that's all I can use as an excuse. 
Anyways, on 2015 I focused on my last year of High School, my preparation for my Cambridge Exam, my boyfriend, friends and family. In addition, at the end of the year, I realised that I was the person I always wanted to be; someone who likes and accepts herself, someone who doesn't really care about other people's opinion.

Goal number 2: Get a 90% or more on my Cambridge FCE Exam.

     Jesus Christ, I did it! OMG, I'm so happy to share it with you! It was an actual struggle and I thought I failed because some parts of the exam were so difficult; I discussed it with my classmates and some other pupils I met in the institute where we had the exam and they all thought the same: 'we're disapproved'. But boy, no! I received an email a few days ago and I was so nervous when I logged in my account. I passed with a B, I had 175 points of 190. If I'm not wrong, it means I got a 92%! My God, I'm so damn happy.

Goal number 3: Enjoy my last year on a 100%

     As I said before, on the first goal. I enjoyed my year to the maximum and I'm so happy with it. I really want to go back to March 2015 and do all my last year again, it was fantastic but sadly, I can't and it's time to move on on this new stage.

Goal number 4: Take singing lessons.

     Oh no, no way! It was one of my most appreciated goals, to be honest but I didn't care about it as I would have liked to. Also, with my stressful English lessons every Tuesday and Thursday, I was done. I didn't want to do anything else, it was too much for my patience!

Goal number 5: Write at least 10 blog posts each months.

Oops, haha. Let's move onnn...

Goal number 6: Start Youtube.

     And I did it! But I rapidly desisted and I ended up deleting my channel. Reasons why? 1. I didn't have a good camera to film the videos. 2. I never found time for filming and I always used any silly excuse to not film any video. If someday I really feel like starting Youtube, I'll do my best and get started but, for now on, I'll put all my effort on my blog.

     So, those were my achieved and my not achieved goals! Now I want to know about you! Have you set your own goals at the beginning of 2015? Did you achieved all of them or not? I'm super excited to know about you now, and I hope you share with me your experiences! 


Goodbye and see you soon!

Turning 18 (July, 31st)

 Hello everybody, this is my first post with 18 years old and it's also my first post being legal, woow! 2015 is still a year full of surprises for me, I can't get accostumed to it!
 I just wanted to share with you a bit of my special day, the food we ate and the presents I received.

 As my birthday was on Friday, I went to school as I normally do and then I came to my house accompined by my friends and we waited for my boyfriend to arrive. 



 We share lunch eating hamburgers and for dessert I prepeared a vanilla mousse with Oreos cookies which I forgot to take a picture.

 We talked, laughed, played cards and had a great moment. A friend had the idea to give me a welcome to my legality and everybody started to throw me grass, dust and also water. It was fun but dirty.




 My mom bought me a huge cake which was a chocolate bomb that everyone loved and also cute vanilla cupcakes.




 And finally, the presents...


 My grandmother (Betty) gave me a lovely pair of slippers and my other grandmother (Mimi) a beauty sweater which I also forgot to take pics of.






My group of five friends gave me a pair of summer pyjamas and a vegetal sponge for body and face hygene. I loved it.




 My mom's friend gave me a super cute and lovely bracelet with a tiny bell which I find super super cute.



 One of my closest friends gave me six bars of chocolate and a bag of sweets. I can barely think of a better gift! I was fascinated when I found out what I was given.


 And finally, my lovely boyfriend showed up with a perfumery bag. I first thought it was a perfume but it was nothing else than a makeup palette of a Spain makeup brand, Mirlans. I never heard from this brand before but when I tried the makeup on Saturday night I was in love with the colours. Here I'll leave you a picture...




 And that's all for my 18th birthday. I hope you enjoyed the post and I'll be posting some cool stuff soon this week! 



Good bye and see you soon!

Love Yourself First



'To love someone you first need to love yourself'

  How many times have you heard this phrase? My mother used to repeat it millions and millions times but excluding the part of 'to love someone'. This may be super super hard for some people and easy for others; and I just want to share my personal experience with you.

  I never liked myself. My teeth are separated and, when I was younger, I was afraid of smiling; I didn't want anyone to look at my mouth.
  In puberty, my body got bigger and my skin suffered the appearence of ugly and purple stretch marks that I hated with all my soul. It felt like hell going to the pool or looking at my friends' flawless skin. Also in puberty, my face had a terrible break out which made me felt the uglier girl in the whole world.
  And please don't forget the most terrible thing -the one I'm still trying to get over-, gain weight. I used to be a skinny girl and everybody used to tell me to eat more. However, puberty showed up and messed with me.

  Most of us walk through this kind of situations during life and we can't escape them because they're part of life's cycle -besides it's absolutely necessary for our future as adults. But what weights more is how society accepts our changes and this is the reason why we feel unhappy with ourselves.


  What killed me most was comparing myself with my friends and the popular girls at school -bear in mind I'm on my last year of high school; why am I talking like a 20-and-so years old?- which made me feel so depressed and ugly.
  As any teenager, I had sad thoughts, thoughts of suicide, depression, anxiety, etc. And I also thought that, if I had a boyfriend, I would feel enough for. But, man, how wrong I was! Being in a relationship of nine months, I can assure you that it's horrible to deal with the feeling of 'he'll make me feel good, loved, enough'. My boyfriend makes me feel that way and I love him very very much but what I mean is, you feel insecure all the time -'what if he finds someone better?' 'what if he's cheating on me?' 'what if he gets tired of me?' 'what if he's with me just because he doesn't know how to break up with me?'- and sometimes you get to the edge of 'it'll better if I break up with him'. That really happened to me but I made a change.

  First of all, you don't have to depend on anyone. You're a strong, beautiful and worth woman who knows how to deal with herself. All you need to do is a change because if there's something bothering you, you must take it out of your life.

  If you don't like your body, you can go to the gym, yoga classes, go running or walking -you can take a friend with you- and if you don't want to get out of your house, you can look for classes online -I recommend this Youtube channel-
  If you have stretch marks, cellulite, varicose veins or any other scar; first remember they're scars of your fights, all you've been through and you should be proud of them instead of hate them. They're part of you at least, a little puzzle piece of the masterpiece -you- buuuuuuut you can do exercise or use some creams to make them look better.
  Also if you have pimples or a break out, there are a lot of creams and treatments -also homemade treatments which are healthier-
  There's always a solution, don't panic and breath, you can get over it! 


  And always remember this, you're unique and there's no one like you in the whole world. They may look like you but they don't talk, think, dance, sing, laugh, smile, or be like you. You're worth it, darling; if you're on Earth, it's because you have a mission to get done and please, do it because you're very good at solving it. Cheer up my friend, you're young and free, live the life!
'I love myself and I think you should love yourself too' -B.

Goodbye and see you soon!

2015: Beginning and Goals



  Happy 2015! I hope all of you had a lovely beginning and got your energy recharged positively. 
  It's february actually but I haven't given a worthy welcome to 2015. So here it is, WELCOME 2015! This years seems to be a very very good one on my point of view, what do you think about?



  I moved house on December 25th (yes, on Christmas) I swear it wasn't easy to get accustomed to it but with struggle I did it. I used to live with my parents at my granny's house but it was time for the bird (daddy) to abandon the nest and take away his bird-wife and little pigeon (me!). Almost a month later, we adopted a cat who's called Regina and yes, I keep my dog Larry (I'm not Larry Shipper guys, it was because the bromance)







  This year is absolutely exciting for me. It's my last year at High School and you know what it means... I got my lovely prom! I don't know if in USA or the UK proms are every year for every grade/year but here you have your prom when your school cycle is done. I have mine on November!! 





  I started going to the gym last week and I'm trying to eat healthier than ever, this is my most precious goal for 2015. I need to look fabulous in my prom dress buuuuuuut I also need to be healthy and strong ;)














  My goals for 2015 are:

-Get fit , healthy and strong.
-Get a 90% or more on my Cambridge FCE exam.
-Enjoy my last year on a 100%
-Take singing classes!
-Write at least 10 blog post each month.
-Start Youtube!



What are your 2015 goals? How was your beginning?



Goodbye and see you soon!

Simple Christmas Makeup Look


  Hiiiiiiii everybody! We're in December, it's almost Christmas (16 days left) who's excited?!? I decided to do a simple makeup tutorial for Christmas' dinner or a family party you may throw! Hope you like it :)



  First of all, foundation. I wore the Maybelline PURE MAKEUP foundation in the colour 30 natural. I like to apply it using my fingers as it helps to blend better and you won't feel your face heavy or cakey. For concealer I wore the Mary Kay concealer in the colour beige. Also applied with fingers!


  Starting with the eyes, I applied a champagne eyeshadow all over my eyelid as a base. This one is from Lucy Anderson, I guess. I like the pigments it has and how it looks on my skin, sadly the light was terrible when I took the photo so it looks like I have nothing on the eyelid but I do! 



 Then in the outter corner I went with a browny-old pink shadow I have (I'm sorry I don't know where is it from), I blended it until I got soft smokey effect. For the inner corner I went with a white shadow. 


  With the help of a black pencil liner I drew a thin line over my lash line to give the feeling of more lashes. I decided not to do a strong line with the wing because I wanted to do this makeup simple but beautiful.


  For mascara I wore Maybelline Volum' Express Mega Plush Mascara on the top and low lashes. If you want it, you can apply false lashes!


  Last we apply bronzer, we powder our faces to set the makeup and appy red lipsticks to finish with our Christmas makeup look! I hope you liked it, please leave a comment below if you did! 

Goodbye and see you soon!

Smells Like Summer: Getting Ready


  Most of you may be shivering and waiting for a snowy Christmas these days but this is not my case! Living at the end of the world might or might not be an advantage; I love spending my sunny, hot, relaxing  January by the pool, hanging out with friends, reading books or doing any other activity. And it would be absolutely weird if it snows in December!! 

  I decided not to buy a lot of clothes and shoes this year, just what I really need. And, to be honest, I needed new high heels! I don't know about you but I like to go to the night clubs with my friends and dance all night long (it's a thing here, don't get me wrong, I'm not breaking any rule!!) and as the only colour of shoes I have is black, I decided to get a brown ones. These one are perfect.
  The heel is made of wood and the strips that hold your foot is made of leather, I can assure you they're really comfortable! I bought them on a local store but you can get some similar ones here: LINK1 LINK2 LINK3 LINK4 LINK5


  I also bought myself more makeup! I needed a new foundation and I went straight to the beauty shop with the idea of not buying a Maybelline's one but, guess what? I bought a Maybelline's foundation! It's the PURE MAKEUP in the colour 30 natural. I really like it as it's perfect for oily skin and its finish is amazing, it looks like your face is flawless!

  Last but not least,I bought a makeup brush for blending because the one I got before got magically lost. This one is from Jessamy and I think this brand is only available in Argentina and others countries in South America.

  That's all for the "mini-haul", whatever is your doubts, don't be afraid of ask in the comments below!
Goodbye and see you soon!

The Start of Something New: Be Welcomed to MILA SO WHAT

PH credits: my mom <3 thank you so much for supporting me in every decision I choose!

I know I should stop changing my theme (let's say) but I found the one I like and I changed almost everything, I feel more comfortable with my blog now! 

Why MILA SO WHAT?
 If you're following my Instagram account you may notice that the username is @milasowhat, well that's because one of my friends decided to call me Mila as the last four letters of my name (Camila) matched as a name; she also did the same with her name (Luisina) and that's why I like to call her Sina sometimes. Anyways, I added the 'so what' because Mila is a nickname no one calls me and it's weird to use it but SO WHAT? I LIKE IT!
 Cams Talks was nice, not good or amazing, just nice. I liked it because I was talking about anything in my blog and Cams is a nickname my friends call me so, I accepted it for a couple months until I figured out MILA SO WHAT is what I'm. Silly story, blame on me!

What's new?
 As you may know, I'm such a terrible blogger and I admit that! I'm finishing my forth year at high school (in Argentina we have five years of secondary!) and I'll have more free time for blogging so I'm taking the chances!! 
 As new we have the theme, the pictures may be and probably the way I used to write my post, I'll change it. Also the topics and if I can, I want to start Youtube but I need to get a lot more involved with everything! 

 I'm going to keep my old URL (camstalks.blogspot.com) because I can't change it in Bloglovin' and it'll be a mess for my readers to find me, I just changed the title. I'll try to post twice at week as least and I'll start to read blogs again (I became so lazy with all of this, ugh)
 It's incredible to be back and with new vibes! Hope I can reach more readers and get involved with all of you, it's a lovely world I want to take part in <3

Good bye and see you soon!

OOTD: Luke Hemmings Style

 I know I lied when I wrote the last post saying I was going to be posting more often. I'm such a bad blogger! BUT today I'm coming with a Sunday OOTD stolen from one of my favourites member of one of my favourites bands... Luke Hemmings from 5 Seconds Of Summer!

I've decided to recreate the look but all the clothes I'm wearing are from local stores so I chose carefully clothes from different stores around the world (Forever 21, ASOS, H&M, etc.) and put them on a picture so you can recreate it for yourself if you're interesting!





 Last but not least, makeup. I followed this super easy and quick makeup tutorial I found in We Heart It. 

I hope you like this idea, comment if you did and I'll probably try to recreate Michael's, Ashton's and Calum's looks too! 

Goodbye and see you soon!

Birthday Presents (July, 31st 2014)

 I'm still alive! It's been like two months or so since the last time I've posted something here... mmh, shame on school! I've been busy, it's true. Practical works, loads of homework, tests, travels and I ran out of spare time but now I'm here with lot of ideas for blogging! (yay)
 Well, I turned 17 on July 31st, I know it's almost a month, sorry! Anyways, it wasn't a big deal but I had a lovely time with friends. I should say I had a nice time with family but I'd be lying; my cousin was suffering pneumonia and we couldn't celebrate until she was fully recovered (guess what? She's recovered and we hadn't celebrate yet, I regret that!)
 I didn't expect a lot of luxurious presents for my birthday, I just wanted it to be a common day but it wasn't, I mean, I WAS TURNING 17! ONE MORE YEAR AND I'M LEGAL!! (I'm not that excited, I swear) Anyways, I was excited to share with you what I got :)




  The first thing I've received was an owl handbag from my aunt. She bought it on a local store but everybody in Argentina has one! It's made of a soft chamois and usually it's light brown and has a cute animal at the front (my cousin has a bigger one with a pug <3)


  My mom gave me this lovely high-waisted short with little red lips embroidered (also bought on a local store) and the amazing book by Rainbow Rowell, 'Eleanor & Park' (which I'm currently reading and I'm in love with it! As soon as I finish it, I'm going to post a review here!)


  Also, both of my parents gave me a new phone: the Samsung Galaxy Core in white. The last one I had was the Samsung Galaxy Ace (I bet it was the first Galaxy ever) and it broke down. However, now I have Instagram, so you can go follow me if you want to :) milasowhat


  My friend Yami gave me a cute purple and green box where I'm going to save my earphones, earrings, bracelets, etc. and she also gave me a little and useful makeup bag. I love both of them!


  Last but not least, my friend-bruther, Chino (Ariel actually) gave me this super cute yellow wool beanie with the Angry Birds on!! I really liked it, it was so sweet from him :)

  Also, my other relatives gave me money and spent time with me, which is the most beautiful thing they can give me! I hope you enjoyed this post, it's not super interesting but it's something until I write a very important post! Hahaha 

 Goodbye and see you soon!

The Feeling of Being Argentinian


 This blog is not related with football and I'm not an expert when talking about it but I do suffered the fever of the World Cup as much as the others countries around the world. As you may or may not know, today was the end of the matches and I can proudly say that my country, Argentina, got the second place while playing against Germany. So I want to dedicate this blog post as a gratitude one.

 A few months ago when people asked me if Argentina would have a chance to win the World Cup Brazil 2014, I firmly answered no but when it all started, my heart and soul went with my country and the hope was way too high that I almost could felt the cup in our hands.
 At the firsts matches, I didn't have a clue about the game as I don't like football at all but with my dad by my side explaining me and so many matches watched I was able to sit in front of the TV and shout to it when they were doing the things wrong. We played badly at first but we improved a lot and the last match we've played, was amazingly beautiful played, I was pleased with my boys.

 If you now ask me how do I feel, I'll answer with a simple sentence: I feel very proud. They did their best and played with their hearts,  we didn't have a lot of support from other countries, Brazil hates on us (and, as we like the "war", we hate on them too) and most of the South American countries supported Germany on the Final but the guys did their best and we're SO proud of them. And we also had David Beckham and his sons supporting us :D


 At the end of the match, when Germany was announced the winner of the World Cup Brazil 2014, Mascherano said that he (and the rest of the team) wanted to bring the cup to our country to make us happy, that it was so painful because they gave everything they had and that they felt sorry themselves and for us, the population but if I had him and all the team right in front of me I would tell them that it was enough, more than I could ever ask for. 

 I believe it's over understood that I'm very proud of my country and all of their effort, they've brought us happiness and I now it's only a game but it makes us became more united and that is one of the million things I'm thankful for.

 Thank you Lionel Messi, Sergio Agüero, Gonzalo Higuaín, Angél Di María, Marcos Rojo, Ezequiel Lavezzi, Fernando Gago, Sergio Romero, Javier Mascherano, Ezequiel Garay, Federico Fernández, Pablo Zabaleta, Maximiliano Rodríguez, Rodrigo Palacio, Lucas Biglia, Hugo Campagnaro, Martín Demichelis, Franco Di Santo, Ricardo Álvarez, José Basata, Enzo Pérez, Augusto Fernández, Agustín Orion and Mariano Andújar. Guys, you were flawless!
