HELLO HOLIDAYS!

Finally, the best bit of summer has arrived… how many times have you muttered “I need a vacation”? Well… Here they are!

Forget about September, meetings, the work that’s waiting for you, the e-mails piling up… All you need to worry about is relaxing, having a great time and regaining your energy.

Trips, excursions, days at the beach, romances, mid-week partying… everything goes when you’re on holiday. Do now what you haven‘t been able to do so far this year. Tire yourself out during the first week discovering a new city and spend the rest of the time resting and seeing all your friends.

HEADING: A QUESTION OF TASTE

Aren’t these photos just delightful? They are so original, aren’t they? Perhaps they caught you by surprise? The choice and placement of each item of food or each flower used is surprisingly successful, as if it couldn’t have been any other way. The creations are strong, very strong, and the photographs have a spectacular realism.

SURPRISING SUMMER GAZPACHO

We love the warm weather. We spend the summer months longing for those two or three months of intense heat that we have each year. And when it arrives, we still love it! Despite our blood pressure taking a dive, sometimes sleep is impossible and we end up feeing very idle! And so to combat all this we propose a new take on the classic Spanish gazpacho (blended raw vegetables). Easy to eat and full of energy, as well as another typical Spanish summer recipe, ajoblanco. These can’t get any healthier!

SOAK UP THE SUN, BUT DON’T FORGET THE SUNSCREEN

Summer’s here at last! And it’s time to slip into that bikini and get that flattering bronzed glow.

First and foremost, take care not to get burnt and give it time: don’t lie out in the sun for long periods –all you’ll manage to do is to damage your skin and end up looking like an overripe tomato. And you know that that doesn’t look good on those holiday snaps.

If you don’t tan easily, we recommend you don’t overdo it with those bronzing oils (and if you must use them, then remember to use a sunscreen). There are a few natural remedies that will help you get a healthy glow: for instance, a month before you go on holiday, start drinking a daily glass of carrot juice – and if there isn’t time for all that, then simply drink it just before heading for the beach. But remember – you still shouldn’t overdo it with the bronzing oils… Don’t go overboard!

MUST HAVE COLOURS TO DRESS UP THE NEW SEASON

There are always some tones that mark the shift from summer to fall. Colours that flood the magazines and fashion

editorials and that become absolute must haves for the rest of us. And, out of the multiple trends we’re currently being

bombarded with, three tranquil tones stand out that will set the style for the start of the new season.

Make a mental note! There are three in all: dusty green, taupe brown and a sexy, dainty pink. Here are our suggestions:
