Summer In Greece

I spent lovely time the passed weekend near nature and sea, few kilometers away from the city, at my village. 

The sky was clear, summer shine was all around and the air had a great essence of fresh fruits nearby home and salty waves nearby the sea. 

It was a chance for me to settle down away from city  lifestyle and daily routine and enjoy summer's perfections.

Besides all, I'm a nymph of forest.. :P

Choco Kiss..

On Sunday, we celebrate love & lovers and with them, gifts and sweets have a field day. I've never been a fan of this festival because I believe that if you are in love, every day is a celebration for you.



However, I'm looking for the occasion to make and enjoy sweets- so here is the recipe of "Choco Kiss".. Apart from its delicious taste and their simplicity, those chocolates are really special (as they contains balsamic) & there are an amazing gift idea for the aforementioned celebration.



I totaly suggest this recipe! You will loove it..

"Kraken is around.."

 Tie your boats, they are in danger of sinking.. 

Well, carnival time has come in Greece and yesterday was <Tsiknopempti> the day that everyone is in costume and have fun by eating and drinking with friends. 

As you can see, this year I was the monster of seven seas. The fear and terror of every sailor. The biggest enemy of boats... Kraken. 

I really like this time of the year. I love wearing costumes and play a role this day. Years ago, I was 'Poison Ivy, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson and Pop Art GIrl'. Those were my faves. 

Each year, I enjoy trying to make the costume and the make up myself. Or just buy a wig and try to combine my regular clothes or some special pieces to be the character I chose. 

We really had a very nice time last night-my friend was a 'Party Animal'..

I did the make up by myself and made those little vessels from cardboard and paper. I also made a big one from a paper bag as a "folder bag".
The piece that I believe that match perfectly with the whole attitude was my top with the lace sleeves which is my mother's- a vintage piece and took it from her for general use-thought that would look that pretty with my costume, last moment.
