It's snack time! (DIY kale chips)

Yesterday I went quickly into the Mark's and Spencer store as I needed something right after work.
I passed by the salad and vegetable aisle and I spotted packages of kale.
During the last weeks I've heard so much about kale and I know that it is very, very healthy. Unfortunately I don't really like it in a salad but I've seen that a lot of people use kale as an alternative to potatoe chips. So I decided to give it a try and started my little expermiment last night.

What you need: - Olive Oil
                          - Vinegar
                          - Sea salt

I put a certain amount of kale into a bowl, add 3 table spoons of Olive Oil, a little bit of vinegar and sea salt and mix it with a spoon.

Afterwads you take a baking tin and place the kale on it. On my pictures you can see that I didn't have baking paper at home, but if you wash the tin very well afterwards, it shouldn't be a problem.

Then you place the tin into your oven which you've preheated on 170 degrees and leave it in there for 10 minutes. After ten minutes you should have a look on your chips and their colour.
It's absolutely normal that they're a bit brown but they shouldn't be black.

When you think they look good, take them out of the oven and they're ready to be consumed.

It's such an easy recipe and I love it. It tastes so good and is a perfect healthy snack. You can use different herbs to create many different sorts of kale chips.

Cupcakes and Cashmere ♥

Hello ladies, 

Today's blog post is about one of the books I've read during the last month. I got it by coincidence as it was recommended by amazon when I ordered Lauren Conrad's Style and Beauty book. 
I'm talking about "Cupcakes and Cashmere" by Emily Schuman. To be honest, I wasn't expecting a lot I just thought I would give it a try. 
Now you may already guess that I literally loved it! 
It's not a huge book at all but you can find all of the details you need to be inspired by that lovely woman. 

Her way of writing is very nice and I just loved reading it. It's split in the four seasons and I read one chapter every day. She gives you tips in Beauty, Fashion, Food and Lifestyle, which covers all of the subjects I'm interested in. The funny thing is that I hadn't known her blog before I started reading the book so I made this fascinating discovery as well and I love her cupcakes recipe. She's so creative and I love creative people so much. They give me a lot and that's one of the reasons why I started writing this blog. I wanted to give people something to get inspired or just something beautiful to make them smile. Creativity is something wonderful and I love to play with is. Not only with fashion and beauty but also with food. 
If you really want to read an inspiring book, which makes you happy at the same time, then I really recommend you buying this one. Give it a look and I know you'll love it. 
A little detail which I also loved was the fact of showing beauty products for each season. High-end and drugstore. These details made me adoring it that much. 

I wish you a wonderful day or night wherever you are! 

Much love! xoxo
