“What is the best thing that your blog has given you?” It might sounds a bit cheesy but the majority of the bloggers will answer “Human encouters” and I would answer the same.

When I think about the closest and dearest people to me, except my family, my hubby, my childhood friends, I wouldn’t have met the others if I haven’t had started a blog, which sounds a bit crazy.

This is the case for Candice, encountered in a professional context… and then, some good chemistry resulted to long discussions about Human behaviors (Dawson’s creek rubbed off on me), simplicity, humor, perfect partner for a museum marathon : it is a human being as I love.

So you can’t imagine my joy when she offered me (without any reason, otherwise it wouldn’t be fun) this hand-embroidered shirt with THE right reference that talks to both of us. Thank you my blog is even more… Thank you my “Babe”.

My crunchy summer playlist

· Food

This is not meant to depress you but we are getting closer to the end of summer, a summer that deserves its name considering the weather we had.

To accompany the end of the season, I wanted to share my summer playlist. There is a bit of everything: current songs, less recent and much older: everything to keep a festive, relax and beach atmosphere with a cheesy romantic touch to flirt under the tropics (or in Paris).

 

♪♪ The summer is magic ! ♪♪

I had the idea to unveil the songs of this playlist with cookies that I baked with love thanks to my last culinary acquisition: the stamp for cookies with interchangeable letters. A great accessory to create personalized gifts for relatives and friends.

Customisable cookie stamp Suck UK

However, I haven’t found yet the recipe to bake the top of the notch shortbread cookies: meaning not dry but still sandy AND which keep the inscriptions during the baking stage (my ideal shortbread cookies: the first version of Dinosaurus).

Bracelets Mya Bay

Bluetooth  speaker “Hoop” Lexon
Iphone 4S Apple (haha ! old school !)

 

♪♪ “Eat” me baby one more time ! ♪♪

Mine are not bad (said the girl who just ate 4 in a raw) but “could do better”: if you have a killer recipe for shortbread cookies, do not hesitate to share it in the comment box, I will try all your recipes and might publish the best one (according to my taste) in a following Sweet-tooth post.

Meanwhile, listen (or have a bite of) one of my favorite pieces of music!

We have band : Honeytrap
Kylie Minogue : Slow
All Saints : Pure Shores
Jamiroquai : Cosmic Girl

· Fashion, Travel

As I recently told you, I won’t have any long holidays this summer: only exception this weekend of August 15th, because I heard the beach calling… so destination Le Touquet!

 

FROZEN SUMMER FUN

And what a pleasure once there to find this sand sculpting event called “Frozen Summer Fun” (very good timing since I had missed it last year in Ostend): most of the Disney characters were made with wet sand, with a stunning precision.

There’s a leg missing “Up” there but this is my favorite sculpture!

My favorites: the super-cute grandpa from “Up”, The Sleeping Beauty castle and Pocahontas (however, I found Olaf’s face from Frozen a bit strange).

Star Wars was also honored but what a shame, no one thought about making my so-loved Obi (E)Wan Kenobi… He He!
