Captured On Camera: Tomato Cucumber Salad Recipe

Published by

Have you tried the new(ish) app from Instagram? Hyperlapse takes videos recorded in real time and drastically (and dramatically) speeds them up. It’s supposed to give a cinematic quality to your videos. I tried the app out a few times already, but now that I should be focusing on what I eat and how I exercise (soccer season is right around the corner), I figured it would be a good way to record the recipes I use and create, and to showcase how I make them. I figured I would start off with one of my absolute favourite salad recipes – a tomato and cucumber salad with onion and feta. I love making this salad! Super easy and super simple (only five ingredients needed). Watch to see how I made this salad recipe: Tomato Cucumber Salad with Feta 2 tomatoes 1 cucumber 1/2 of a small onion 1 tablespoon of olive oil 3/4 cup of Feta Slice and dice the cucumbers, tomatoes and onions. Mix all three into a dish and add the tablespoon of …

Captured on Camera: Eurotrip Day 3 – Rome

Published by

My last full day in Rome was spent quite leisurely; which was completely fine by me! Before I left for my trip I was told that everything that I see during the day, I must see at night as well. The only place I managed to see at night was the Colosseum. Seeing it all lit up is so worth it! Earlier that day however, I was able to see a few more sights and places. I love Rome! I can’t wait to come back! It should be noted that the during my time in Rome, the heat was unreal (no wonder they don’t advise tourists to visit in August). I couldn’t handle the heat. I’ll admit it. And usually when this is the case, my hair turns into a giant frizzy mess. So why are my curls looking so nice in the Roman heat? It’s because my friends at Aveda Canada hooked me up with travel sized products from the be curly line! So thankful for that! And if you know me, you know how much I love Aveda products …

Captured On Camera: EuroTrip Day 2 – Rome

Published by

I got an early start to the day with my only goal being to find the famous Piazza Navona, an extremely popular tourist destination that was built in 1st century AD (it was also featured in the movie Angels & Demons)! Since I kind of, sort of, gave up on my map-reading abilities, I decided to look for landmarks to guide me along the way. Bernini’s Triton Fountain would serve as a great landmark to start my day. Early in the morning I came across this tiny little church hidden away on a side street. I crave experiences like this, finding beautiful little secrets off the beaten path. I had no idea what was behind the wooden doors (it didn’t look like a church), but it was nice little retreat to come across. I also discovered (well, not really discovered, but you get the point) Palazzo Barberini, a palace that was built in 1549. I still can’t comprehend that all of this was built hundreds of years ago, the pictures I took on this trip don’t do any justice to what my …

Captured on Camera: EuroTrip Day 1 – Rome

Published by

I had never been to Europe before I took this trip. Yet, I had been travelling the world since I was a mere babe and it took 25 years to eventually get to Europe. I made a promise to myself last year when I turned 25 on October 25th; I told myself that this would be a year that I would never forget. Even though I had never been, I knew that as soon as I arrived in Europe that I would fall in love. I would fall in love with the people, the culture, and the history. I mean sure, Canada has people, culture, and history too, but nothing like what I experienced in Europe. And no; I am not being biased because I am of European heritage…I promise! I took an overnight flight from Toronto to arrive in Rome mid-Friday morning. A weekend in Rome? Yes please!! Side note: Pearson Airport has undergone a lot of changes since I was there last year.  I was a very happy girl relaxing in that tech-savvy world …

GUESS Summer 2014 Collection Presentation

Published by

You know what they say – if you want something badly enough, visualize. Luckily for me I didn’t have to do much to visualize about summer and the promise of warm weather. Why? I attended the GUESS Summer 2014 Collection Presentation last week to preview what the brand will have in stores later this year. The collection had a cool, carefree and relaxed feel to it – which isn’t a far departure from the brand’s regular collections. It had me thinking of the beach and summer (of course). And while the collection’s focus was primarily with clothing, I couldn’t help but notice a bag that was hanging off one of the mannequins…. Tell me this isn’t cute (even if you do – I still want it!) GUESS will have you summer- ready in a few months as this collection will start to roll out starting May 2014. Hopefully this was enough to keep give you warm and happy thoughts for the rest of the day! Stay warm friends!
