Altea !

August 2nd, 2010

Altea it’s a beautiful little village above a hill with sea views close to the town of Alicante, Spain. I had heard loads about it, but never been there, even if I lived for twelve years, just an hour away from it.

I decided to go last week with my closest friend Tatiana, and enjoy some sightseeing and to visit a place I’ve heard loads about, which is called “Jardin de los Sentidos” that’s actually a refurbished private villa converted into a B&B, with an amazing botanic garden, where you can also go and have drinks – cakes, or even do some Yoga, but unfortunatelly, it was closed at that particular day we went.

But it didn’t ruin the day, as I discovered beautiful roads, with amazing views and buildings surrounded of great reataurants, art galleries, boutiques and night markets. As well as spending an entire day with my best friend, was very needed, to catch up with some girly talk.

It’s a MUST place to visit if you ever travel to Alicante.

Spain VS Netherland

July 8th, 2010

Tonight the Spanish team won the World Cup Semi Finals against Germany, and qualified for the first time in history for the World Cup Finale, affronting the Netherlands on Sunday.

However, as I’m not a big football fan, but proud to have my country of residence in Finale, I decided to create this post about two woman who have an influence on those two countries, as both of their partners will be affronting each other during the Finale of the FIFA World Cup 2010.

One is the beautiful sports journalist Sara Carbonero. Girlfriend of the Captain and Goalkeeper of the Spanish football team Iker Casillas, who had the whole world blaming on her, for the defeat of Spain against Switzerland, with stupid speculations such as she would have disturbed the concentration of her boyfriend, bla bla bla. However, as Spain is now in Finale, she now became the country’s lucky charm.

The other gorgeous woman, is the model, actress and TV presenter Sylvie van der Vaart, wife of the Dutch football player Rafael van der Vaart. This woman – mother & wife, has a beautiful natural look, however I’m a bit dissapointed on her style, which is most of the time over exposed, and far to artificial for my taste -which gave me a hard time finding cool pictures for Lady Marshmallow, as most of them looked like coming out from a FHM photoshooting ! -.

Please leave your comments on who you’ll think of this girls to be the FIFA World Cup 2010 lucky charm .

In the meantime, I leave you with this post until next Monday, as I have to get things ready for a friend’s wedding on Saturday, and need to find a dress, have a hair cut, etc…

Oh, and I promise to post all the pictures of the wedding next week, here at Lady Marshmallow.

Enjoy the end of the week, and for those of you watching the FIFA World Cup, enjoy the game and that the best wins.

♥♥♥

Cupcakes !

July 7th, 2010

It doesn’t happen everyday, that my little brother comes to visit me, but this time he did and with a tray full of different variety of cupcakes, from one of my favorite and only cupcake boutique in Alicante, “Las Manolitas”

Their cupcakes are fresh with a home cooking feeling, made with loads of love. And my all time favorites, was the Strawberry cupcake, until I tried a Nut cupcake that remind me of the Jordan Country Crisp cereals. I was so tempted, but had a big decision to take, as I’m allergic to some nuts. But what the hell, the temptation was stronger than me, and even if I would have needed two cortisone injections later on, I decided to eat the cupcake. And lucky me, nothing happened.
