The BEST Music Video ever

Coldplay is one of the band that I really like to listen when I have a good mood. They have also very creative and breathtaking music videos. Their new song 'Up & up' is definitely the best one. 
The graphics made an amazing job there! It makes you feel that you are in completely different world. You don't have to think when you watch this clip. The text is also connected with the song which is a rare thing these days. 

In my opinion, this song  wants to tell us to not give up on what we fight for. The singer encourage us to break all the obstacles in our life-journey.



Thinking deeper, I think it's about how we look at this world nowadays, the world we live in. Everyone has their dreams and what they want to do and achieve, but sometimes we just think that the life never gonna change no matter what. We think this world and everything in it is so bad. The world will be broken, no matter what we do. We stop to realize our dreams and purposes.

Coldplay give us a new perspective of this world. This world isn't as awful as we thought. This world and every human-race is so beautiful. We need to see the world from a new perspective, stop blaming this world. Do what you can do as hard as you can :)

And remember,if we fall, we will get up again, up again up and up!

How to prepare S'MORES?

That sweet thing was our 'must-have' during my summer at Brant Lake Camp. During late campfires, we were preparing this amazing dessert. It's delicious, sweet and has a lot of calories :) 

Nevertheless, I am not a fan of sausags at bonfires so I'd rather eat chocolate. This amazing sandwich will be perfect for the gourmands! This treat is very popular in US and Canada and it is made with fire-roasted marshmallows, a layer of chocolate sandwiched between two pieces of graham cracker. Americans have also S'more National Day which is celebrated on August 10. 

This cookie comes from the scouts who ate it during trips and campfires at 1925. And the recipe is still the same, nothing has changed. It's name comes from two words mixed and shortened: 'something more'. I wasn't able to eat many of them because their sweeteness, but for sure, It is necessary to try it!

How the French people sneeze and knock the door?

Recently I was thinking about the sounds which are common worldwide. Sneezing, barking meowing, we don't learn such things at school or university but I think this is a base to know well language. Because language is not only the words and grammar but the whole cultural and linguistic baggage. The French, Americans and Poles, we hear the same sounds in a different way! Especially when we read a lot of comics, it is very helpful to know the sounds. I reckon that knowledge of the onomatopeias is another, higher level in our language studies. 

Here are the list of some words to compare in polish and french, which is quite interesting because some of them are completely different :)


pif paf - pan pan
puk puk - toc toc
a psik - atchoum
ćśśś- chut
kici kici - minou minou
ćwir ćwir - cui cui
hau hau- ouaf ouaf
mrrr- ron ron
bleee- beurk
chlip chlip - snif snif
chlup - plouf

My favourite CARROT CAKE

This is one of a few recipies that I learned by heart without checking the ingredients. In some way it is healthy, but sometimes, especially when I feel sad, I like to add little bit more sugar :) 

My family and friends love that cake and I was made to do this already 4 times this month! It is very fast to do, it takes about 15-20 minutes to prepare the cake, but we need to be patient and bake it about one hour. It is really worth to try! Personally, I like to eat this cake with a natural yogurt and fresh fruits. Yummy!




Ingredients:

1,5 cup of grated carrot
1,5 cup of flour (wholemeal)
4 eggs
1 cup of oil
1 cup of sugar (I add less)
1 spoon of baking soda
1 spoon of cinnamon
1 cup of crashed nuts


Icing:


100 g of cream cheese for exemple Philadelphia
3-4 spoons of honey


Preparation:


Mash the carrots on the grater, cut walnuts or smash them, next turn on the oven to 180 degrees. Mix eggs with sugar for about 3 minutes than add slowly the oil - cake will absorb it all. Still whisking, add the flour with baking soda, the dough will be thick. Add also the cinnamon. At the end, pour the carrot (squeezed) and nuts. Bake in a from with a diameter of 26 cm. Best served with yogurt or powdered sugar.

FLORIDA

As my next travel destination this summer, I decided to choose Florida. I do hope that I will avoid the tornados and other climate changes and I won't spend this time hiding somewhere under the ground :)


Florida and especially Key West are famous for water sports. nightlife and historic site. Near the Key West, many museums are located to see. It is a good option to take a trolley to strart visiting with a guide. For exemple, definitely worth to see is a Ernest Hemingway's old house. 

Personally, I'd like to discover also the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Universal Studios and Everglades National Park. I've always wanted to see a crocodile in his natural environment and it might be possible in this park :) Unfortunately, Florida really feels the effects of a warming clime, The level of water is very low.  It can be observed in landscape of this place. 

The best way to visit in during the spring, the month of march. There is not so many tourists and the temperature is much pleasant.

The advantages OF CHEAT DAYS

Recently 'cheat days' became very popular, as popular as taking care of our health and healthy lifestyle. Personally, I can not resist 'cheat days' because I can't stand eating all the time salads and rice with chicken. Without eating sweets I getting angry and veeery iritating. So basically I am doing it for the people, that they could survive my company :D



Firstly, our body must keep the balance, the vegetables and grill chicken is not enough. We should remember that we can't make cheats too frequently, sometimes it is not a cheat day but just a bad habit. It is worth to plan our cheat days. For exemple, keep it for special occasions like weddings or birthdays. When you shock your system with a high influx of calories at one time, the body's metabolism will show an increase and you will start your 'furnace' into high gear once again. 



Cheat day means also a break from a exercising. This is very important to take a 'day off' because your muscles need to repair and recover. It is good to go to sauna, that you could improve the circulation. Sometimes just sleep a little bit longer and stay in your PJs and don't stress! It is a wonderful way to give you a kick start and energy for the whole day :)
