This is just WRONG!!!

“Beagles are the most popular breed for lab use because of their friendly, docile, trusting, forgiving, people-pleasing personalities. The research industry says they adapt well to living in a cage, and are inexpensive to feed. Research beagles are usually obtained directly from commercial breeders who specifically breed dogs to sell to scientific institutions.”

http://beaglefreedomproject.org/

Animal testing is a disgusting practice. Please avoid all products that tortures animals for scientific testing not just beagles but rabbits, chimps & mice (etc etc ) need your help to .. Look for “Against Animal testing” on your products

Essie haul + giveaway?

Since I started getting into this whole nail art thing I've realized that most of the nail polish I have is too old or too cheap, so I have been on the lookout for good sales and oh wow I found it. Usually an Essie nail polish costs 99 danish krones, but at nicehair.dk you can get them for 39 krones... soooo much cheaper - I LOVE IT!!!!

anywhoo here is what I bought =D

From left to right

10 Blanc

229 Delicacy

710 Van D' Go

475 Castaway

726 Vermillionaire

While I was over there at nicehair I thought of maybe doing some sort of giveaway at some point with one or two Essie polishes and then of course a bunch of other stuff.. what so you think?

Hope your week is rocking and rolling

Review: Summer and the city

From goodreads.com

Summer is a magical time in New York City and Carrie is in love with all of it—the crazy characters in her neighborhood, the vintage-clothing boutiques, the wild parties, and the glamorous man who has swept her off her feet. Best of all, she's finally in a real writing class, taking her first steps toward fulfilling her dream. 

This sequel to The Carrie Diaries brings surprising revelations as Carrie learns to navigate her way around the Big Apple, going from being a country "sparrow"—as Samantha Jones dubs her—to the person she always wanted to be. But as it becomes increasingly difficult to reconcile her past with her future, Carrie realizes that making it in New York is much more complicated than she ever imagined. 

With her signature wit and sparkling humor, Candace Bushnell reveals the irresistible story of how Carrie met Samantha and Miranda, and what turned a small-town girl into one of New York City's most unforgettable icons, Carrie Bradshaw.

My opinion:

Summer and the city is a good chick lit book, however I found that the first few chapter was a bit hard to get through. I started this book in october and finished it today so yeah that tells a bit. The more the story and characters evolve the more intrigued I was to find out how it was gonna end.

I do recommend this book, but personally I wouldn't buy it unless it was on sale

Have you guys read it? and if so what do you think?

Today is Moebius Syndrome Awareness Day

Taken from many faces of moebius syndrome

Moebius Syndrome is an extremely rare congenital neurological disorder which is characterized by facial paralysis and the inability to move the eyes from side to side. Most people with Moebius syndrome are born with facial paralysis, which means they cannot close their eyes or form facial expressions. Limb and chest wall abnormalities sometimes occur with the syndrome. Most people with Moebius syndrome have normal intelligence, and others should take care not to confuse their lack of facial expression with dullness or unfriendliness. It is named for Paul Jullius Mobius, a neurologist who first described the syndrome in 1888.

My personal view

Moebius is close to my heart and the people around me... cause I have it.

For many years I have been ashamed of myself for looking the way I do. I was not told until a year or two ago that moebius was a handicap so I have never really learned to live with it like that. I've been in and out of the hospital since I was very little to get everything checked (nothing serious), and I guess the doctors forgot to mention to my mom that moebius is a handicap.

I was later told that yes the syndrome is rare but the state mine are in is even more rare (very "mild case", so last time I was at the hospital they took pictures to show to students so they hopefully can learn a bit more about this.

I know now that this is not a well known syndrome and for a long time I thought I was the only one in the world who looked like this, so I am pleased that the word about moebius has spread the way it has so it can help others out there in the world who might feel alone cause of it 

Over these last couple of years I have learned to live with moebius, there have been times I've felt alone, i've been bullied and generally just didn't fit in, but I have learned that looks does NOT define who you are, it truly is whats inside that counts, and I know there is a lot of wonderful people out there that smiles on the inside

if you guys wanna learn more about moebius you can check it out here

Have a great day

Recipe: High protein Low cal pandcakes

So here are a nice easy recipe for some low cal high protein pancakes if you're trying to shred some of the christmas pounds like me lol

I first saw a youtube video on this and decided to make them myself... I know they look a bit hmmm but trust me when I say they taste good (i've been eating one every day this week). I even managed to make the bf/gf versions. Mine of course was the healthy one with bananas on top and my bf was with nutella and banana hahaha

what you need: (1 portion)

1 half banana
A scoop of whey protein powder
1 tbsp cinnamon
egg white from 1 egg

Heat up the pan to medium heat.. I use extra olive oil, cause we dont have that fat free spray thingy you guys in usa have.

(Keep in mind the light is crap cause I did it early this morning)

The order you put the ingredients in dosen't matter - this is just they way I do it :)

A half banana in a bowl

cinnamon

whey protein powder

then I add the egg white (forgot to take picture of that lol)

Mix it with a hand blender, and then it end up like this

On the pan sizzling hot - I just wanted to write the word sizzling lol

The boyfriend version with Nutella and banana - he recommend this.

My healthy version with bananas on top... I usually drink a glass of cold skim milk with this

Let me know if you try it.
