I’m into doing things, having ideas and trying to make them
happen, edible or not edible. However, I do sometimes tend to lose interest if my idea isn’t too exiting. This is the home for those other projects
or “notes” that made it.
In Particular:
Baking/Desserts:
It definitely wasn’t like a childhood
dream that I had for a long time, it sort of developed. I remember going to
this Chef´s supply store not long ago. For some reason I walked towards the
baking supply aisle and remember thinking “Oh Boy! It all looks charming! I
want to live here and start baking right now” like if I was in Disneyland. When
I got home that same day I did my deep-research online for techniques and
getting familiarized with the whole new baking world. The more I found I know
about it the more I liked it, I liked it a lot. I tried it and the addiction grew
like a snowball. My admiration started with cupcakes an sprinkles, that lead me
to desserts and all kinds of pretty threats. For me, baking is a form of art
and self-expressions, and better yet, people can get to eat and enjoy the
results.
I like
baking a lot because is a small chemistry project, with art involved. Pretty
interesting since there is also math involved in baking, in high school math
wasn’t my strongest field, but in a cute dessert form I like it much better.
Love it!
Desserts in this post: There are
a lot of things that look pretty but taste nasty, those I won´t post, because I
know it sucks when you got to the store all excited to buy all the ingredients
and turns out it was bad and just looked pretty. Total money/time/energy waste.
Argh!
That happens especially online. Where
who knows if dishes or desserts really taste as they look. I do only follow
recipes online where I can read others comments, wheatear they like it, they
hate it, or they share changes they made.
Website I always check are:
Nail Art:
I found out about Nail Art through
Youtube. You know, like most people spend their spare time on Facebook,
Twitter, etc, I would spend it on Youtube. Watching from beauty gurus, to
chefs, diy´s tutorial, etc. I honestly don’t remember what was I looking for on
Youtube exactly, but I discovered a bunch of people doing their nails and I
thought it was the coolest thing, since I´ve always loved paintings and colors.
I thought it was a cool and more useful way of painting. Since its on nails.
Miniature canvas but still visible. I loved it so much, it turned into an
addiction (See “About Me” section above). From there, I kept a couple of material and photos
and tutorials. I use to make those to get the idea out my head, but after
painting them, I would grab my remover and take off the design. Yes. It was a
complete waste of everything, but it made me happy back then.
Nowadays, I do nail art, but way more
settle. I generally “design” one nail and the rest all the same color, or if
the design is not too heavy I will do it on all my nail. The reason behind is, I
see my nails constantly and if they call my attention a lot I get tired of the
design easily, because I don’t feel comfy I guess with it. In a way is
distracting and that makes me tired of it. I know, I´m that weird!
For myself, I do prefer my nails shorter.
I turn pretty useless when they are longer, although they look prettier longer..well,
sometimes. But sometimes I give my long nails a try, and some others I go natural.
Especially when I´m cooking or baking because I think they might look a bit
nasty all done and you in the kitchen.
DIY and Crafts:
Those are things that I have always
liked. It’s fun to look at things from a whole new perspective after, with a
few materials, they look totally different. You end un valuing things because
of the store they have, rather than how much they cost.
Annnnd I hope you are still awake! Maybe I did share a bit
more than what people are actually interested, but as I was writing this
e-diary I got to the conclusion I wanted to share a lot.
