Ideas for a nice Brunch by Admin

Brunch is sacred. It is a truly special moment that is well appreciated during the weekend. Whether you had a party on Saturday night or not, Sunday is synonymous with rest. We recover from the efforts of the week. Pampering, cocooning, on Sundays we relax and enjoy oneself. And it also goes through the food we are eating. Nothing is better than a brunch on a nice sunny day to catch up with your friends and families, spend some time together before tackling the week.

On the weekend you can sleep in and eat your favourite dishes without any remorse. As the fruits and vegetables season really begins, you can go to the numerous food markets around you and look for ideas that will help you to prepare a feast.

That is why you need to find how to bring the sun into your hearts but also to your plates. Here we have selected some fresh and simple ideas of brunch to make and to taste altogether. These all-time favourites will make you love life because as we said, the simplest things are usually the best.

For the sweet treats:

– Pastries, crepes, French toasts

Natural beauty for your skin by Admin

March is a complicated month. Putting the clocks forward has disturbed our biological clock and summer is fast approaching. Our whole organism is disrupted and our skin suffers from the climate change and the overall pollution.

Here you will find a short list of ingredients good for your skin. Whether they are used as a mask or mixed in a detox juice, you will be surprised by the great value of these ingredients.

– To vitalize and hydrate your skin: avocado and eggs are full of protein and biotin

– For a beautiful complexion: you can benefit from the beta-carotene inside the carrot and the vitamin C in the citrus fruits

– For your skin elasticity: salmon is rich in omega 3 and nuts in omega 3S. Thus, they have values that are well-known for their anti-aging properties

– To fight against acne: Medjool dates and pomegranates as they produce collagen

There is no need to put a crazy amount of money in your skincare products if you don’t take care of your body first. Feeling good inside will make you look good outside. While eating junk food will make your skin looks oily and acneic, think about all the vegetables and other superfoods that exist and don’t hesitate to mix ingredients for your skin, hair and nails.

Don’t forget to drink enough water as it will prevent your skin from dryness and spots. Give it a try and be ready to change your daily beauty routine!

Detox juices by Admin

Is fresh juice useful? The answer is certainly yes. Properly prepared, fresh juices are a source of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. Fresh juices have different effects on the human body: apple – it helps with anemia, tomatoes – regulates metabolism and lowers high blood pressure, grapes – cleanses the body from harmful substances. In order to describe the useful properties of fresh strawberry juice (carrots, pumpkin, cabbage, beet), they would definitely have materials for the whole book. Many therapeutic diet are based on fresh fresh juices. The fact is that one hour of this wealth contains antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and reductive elements. It should also be noted that it is recommended to consume fresh juice immediately after preparation. The fact is that freshly squeezed juice due to contact with oxygen very quickly loses its healing properties. To achieve maximum benefits for the body, it is enough to drink 300ml of freshly squeezed juice per day.

Avoid the following foods during detoxification:

Fast food
Coffee, alcohol and cigarettes
Salt
Drinks with sugar and carbonated drinks
Foods with high fat content
Sweets and snacks
Canned and ready-made industrial dishes
Foods containing wheat and gluten
