Project 365.

 I follow this lovely lady, Kaylah, whose blog I love and she inspired me to start this project365.

Now you don't need to be good at maths to figure out that this isn't going to be a real "365", since I started doing it more than a month late.. Still, I think this is a great way to appreciate everyday a little bit more, by searching for the little things that are worth being remembered, and then look back on a year that is made of common, exciting, unexpected, little, big, beautiful and funny things that sometimes we forget...

So here's my first week of this project365, feel free to start this project as well and if you decide to do it let me know! I'd love to see your pictures!

9.02 - Sunday is marketday and what's better than beautiful fresh fruits and veggies?!

Raw Sweetness.

No this blog isn't turning into a foodblog, but but...  I love food. I probably spend half of my time thinking of food, therefore it seems a bit umbelievable that food was completely left out from this blog. Especially because food to me, is obviously pleasure, love and sharing good times with lovely people, but also health, ethics and spirituality.

Now now, where do I find spirituality in fruits pies you'll ask?

Well those are fresh, colorful, cruelty free and alive! Those fruits and nuts are beautiful sources of energy that directly go into your body! You nourish both your body and soul, I believe, when eating healthy and beautiful foods!

I am not found of nuts. In fact, I only peanuts and cashews. Walnuts, almonds, macadamia nuts ... any other kind of nuts, no thanks. However the crust of those pies is made of nuts. And dates. And guess what? I don't like dates either. I did like those pies though. I guess the flavor of the cashew filling and the fruits balance everything out, even for those who don't like nuts that much like me.

In order to make the crust all you need are nuts, flax seeds, hemp seeds and dates! In the original recipe, that you can find here : thisrawsomeveganlife , both almonds and walnuts are used for the crust, however because I really do not like walnuts, I used solely almond. And the best part of that is definitely the cashew cream which is ... delicious. Delicious. And I am french. I know about pastry, and eventhough this definitely doesn't taste like my regular tarte aux fruits, it is very very good! And honestly knowing that those are all good fats, cruelty free and easy on your diggestion make them even tastier!

It was my first time making a raw dessert, and I can already see how I could improve this recipe to fit better my own tastes, which is what cooking is all about in my opinion! Taking something and making it your own to then share it with your beloved ones and share the love! 

I'll do those little pies again for sure and I strongly suggest you trying them out! They're good, healthy, pretty and would surprise most guests!

Skies.

I got inspired by the very lovely and sweet Colleen to make this short post, with pictures of, hands down one of my favourite things in the world. The sky.
I think Yoko Ono said she was in love with the sky, and I couldn't agree more.
I am always searching for it, looking up for its beautiful and neverending blue, or even gray, and it's such a beautiful reminder of both how little we are, and how amazing it is to be alive on this beautiful planet.
When life may be hard, or your spirit a bit down, it feels so comforting to look up and find it, always here, and to think we're all under the same sky, yet see it so differently is also amazing.
I've often wondered has it ever happened, that there was the same sky twice since the begining of times?

And how many people right now, are doing the same thing as me, stopping for a little while what they're doing, just to catch this moment in its beauty? How many of us are looking at the sky, our hearts maybe full of the same feelings?
Hope, joy, determination or searching for the strengh to carry on and not give up?

Prague. Probably one of my favourite pictures.

Miyajima, Japan.

Kamakura. Japan. 

Venice. Sorry for the poor quality!

Florence. once again the quality isn't great, but I've seen the most beautiful skies in Italy.

Napoli. And its almost transparent sky.

Berlin.

My hometown.

Budapest.

Moscow. 

Moscow. Lines always cross the sky there.

Tokyo.

Paris, cloudy and beautiful.

London and yes. a blue sky. I know.

Bratislava. The bluest sky.

Kiev. 

Florence. bis.

French countryside.

I do have a preference for blue sky with big and white clouds, but I've learned to like the gray ones too. Just like I've learned to enjoy the little things in a day that didn't start well. 

I love the sky so much that I've had this idea for a tattoo for a couple of years now, I may end up doing it eventually. It would feel good to carry everywhere I go, even in the dark rooms a little bit of that blue happiness.

Now that I think about it, I love the sea as much as I love the sky, maybe even more, and it kind of makes sense why blue is my favourite color!

Don't forget to check out Colleen's blog, her pictures are beautiful!

I hope this post brought a bit of positivity to your day!
