Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.

    Some things are so great they don’t need a time frame on them. For me, that’s the 21-day Health Challenge I recently did. For me, it was so ‘doable’ that I decided to commit to the challenge (also known as WW) for life.

    Delicious healthy hot drinks for winter to boost and heal your body during the winter

    Slowly but surely, winter is creeping up on us all once again. During this time of year, the chill is perhaps the most prevalent thing that makes us really feel the power of the cold weather. Frost will come early in the morning which will either wake you up quicker or force you to give into the temptation to stay in your warm bed for longer. All throughout the day, even the sun will get duller and the sunshine less powerful, eventually bowing down to the bitter cold. It’s times like these that we find a good hot drink of something that’s beneficial to our bodies and minds will hit the spot and satisfy us. Often the natural thought it to have a big home-cooked meal that’s going to heat up our insides and give us the energy to face another tomorrow. However, drinks that have medicinal qualities concentrate the nutrients, minerals, and vitamins we need, allow them to be digested in liquid form, which will, in turn, enter our system much quicker. Therefore as part of a healthy breakfast, these drinks should be catered for and given more priority if we’re going to look for something healthwise when it comes to helping our bodies maintain our internal anatomy.

    The guide to organising an incredible event

    Whether you’re trying to raise money for a charity or organisation, meet with customers and shareholders, or simply put on one heck of a party, there are few better ways to do it that with an absolutely killer event. In the business world, when a lot of people think of an event they think of rooms filled with people in suits being bored out of their minds, pretending to care about powerpoint presentations.

    Now, that’s not to say that an event where information is communicated carefully and intelligently isn’t extremely important, but if you want your event to really engage people, then you need to give it something a little bit more special. Whatever the reason behind it is, your event is an opportunity to excite, delight and keep your organisation in the forefront of people’s minds well after it’s ended. To do that you need to turn it into something remarkable and unique. It needs to be the kind of thing that attendees have never seen before. To help make sure that it really is a showstopper, here is some simple advice to help you put on the best possible event. (more…)

    My summer no. 1 prosecco + styling recipe

    Quick update: prosecco cocktails like this Hugo never go out of style for a summer evening.

    Each year, when the sun is out, it’s not offically summer for me until I pick my favorite summer drink. Last year it were a lot of G&T’s. This summer, I think it’s Hugo. Hugo is the Italian summercocktail from Scavi & Ray and is a blend of prosecco, lime, mint and elderflower. And the best part? This drink is very reasonable priced and goes hand in hand with something sweet. Hhmm!

    I tried a few different ways to serve this drink, and my favorite was the one with the flowered ice cubes, mixed with fruity ones. (Oh, and don’t forget to make sure it’s an edible flower if you still wanna have fun after you take a sip!)

    The drink is perfect for a summer evening at the beach, in the park or, like me – on your balcony after a busy day at work.
    The drink is already fruity from itself, thanks to the elderflower, but mixed with fresh fruit, it makes the perfect summer drink. I added some raspberry and blueberries to my ice cubes (heart shapes for life!). This way my drink got chilled and I got my portion of daily fruit intake 😉

    I never heard of the brand Scavi & Ray before – until I found Hugo – so I dug a little bit in the history. Joe Scavi and Carluccio Ray both live in New York as immigrants but their dream was to go back to their Italian roots in Italy. They visited Veneto and decided to stay there and create their own prosecco. It resulted in a successful prosecco brand and the rest is history. How cool! I wish I could create my own prosecco 😉

    These days Scavi & Ray have a couple of prosecco’s, of course Scavi & Ray Hugo but also Scavi & Ray Spumante and Scavi & Ray Rosato.  But the green bottle is my current favorite and matches perfectly with all my colorful summer stuff. Happy summer!
