Veggies!

Dear readers,

Today a tribute to some of my favourite veggies...you know, those foodies that contain EVERYTHING we need! We all know the healthy benefits of vegetables, but I don't think we REALLY know how healthy vegetables actually are! We could solely live on vegetables and be as healthy as a human being could ever be! Now, I am not saying other food products don't have healthy benefits, I am just saying that from my perspective vegetables are so full of nutrients that we could live on them alone. And aside from them being flavourful, I love the vibrant colours!

So, which vegetables can be found in my refrigerator on a regular base? The following:








Which vegetables are your favourite? And do you eat at least 200 grams per day? I love my veggies and eat them - I think - 355 days a year! Yes, I do eat fastfood occasionally :P

Some advices I would like to give you are:

1. Try to buy biological vegetables! These are not contaminated with all sorts of chemicals AND it tastes so much better!
2. Try to eat a different vegetable every day of the week. A great tip to do this is to eat red-coloured vegetables on Monday, green-coloured ones on Tuesday, yellow-coloured ones on Wednesday, etc., etc.
3. Try to eat Thai or Chinese food once a week. You can throw all sorts of vegetables in these kind of dishes. Not only will it look like a festive meal, it will also taste like one!
4. Once a week, try a different recipe for a veggie-juice! It sounds horrible, I know, but I promise you it does not taste horrible! There are so many recipes out there, that for sure you will find some that you will love! And I am not even talking about all the health benefits a veggie juice can bring to a body!

Enjoy your veggies today and don't forget to thank them! ;)

Love, Melissa

FAO Schwarz & Lombardi's

Dear readers,

I love being in a childish environment like FAO Schwarz...it's like a dream toy store! And of course, we couldn't miss the famous Lombardi's, just so we could prove their ain't no better pizza than the pizza in Italy! We were right: they couldn't beat Italy! Sorry Jack Nicholson: it CAN get better than this! ;)

Love, Melissa

P.S. We made our own muppet, you have already met him! Remember Harry?! ;)

Some history, some food and some nature!

Dear readers,

So, progressing with my trip to NYC. First off, score some fuel for the day, then to the Museum of Natural History, then Central Park and of course - food lover as I am - some more food...and some beer :)

Love, Melissa

P.S. Photo 4 + 5: See, back in the days they already knew what kind of trends we would love :D

Delicious clothing!

Dear readers,

It's not a secret designers use all kinds of materials to design clothes, but did you know they sometimes also use food?! Take a glimpse at the following pictures. The clothes are fully edible! 


This dress is made out of cupcakes...YAMMY!!!


Beautiful design, but made out of onions, so this is a rather smelly outfit I guess!


I never could have imagined that this dress is made out of tomatoes. I think it looks gorgeous!


YAIKS!!! This top is made out of shrimps...this would be horror for me!


I think this little white dress is really beautiful. It is made from white cabbage!

What a creative minds, right? I will definitely look at my plate with a different perspective from now on :)

Love, Melissa
