Tea Thursday

Hi Guys! I know I haven't been posting any blogs this week. I've been very busy this entire week just as I will be on the oncomings 2 weeks but I havn't forgotten my "Tea Thursday" ritual where I post random qoutes that involve tea just to give you some food for thought. For the next few weeks I won't be posting daily but I WILL be posting when I can, maybe even twice a day, so don't worry! I'll try my best! :) So here are this weeks food for thought quote:

“Who would then deny that when I am sipping tea in my tearoom I am swallowing the whole universe with it and that this very moment of my lifting the bowl to my lips is eternity itself transcending time and space?” 
― D.T. Suzuki, Zen and Japanese Culture

El Huarique

During the weekend my sisters and I had decided to spend some time together. We ended up going to Venice beach boardwalk looking for something to eat for lunch. My sister found this hole in the wall where they have mutiple little restaurants of all kinds. Considering that I am half Peruvian we wanted to try out this Peruvian cuisine "El Huarique" and let me just say...DELICIOUS! I like to try out different types of Peruvian restaurants to compare the differences, good and bad. This restaurant did not disappoint! 

 

Both of my sisters had ordered a Peruvian dish called "lomo saltado" and I had ordered "ceviche de pescado". Each of the cuisine dishes were well prepared and the seasoning is on point! I would definitely recommend this place if you are ever at Venice Beach, just look for the hole in the wall. ;)

Tea Thursday

“If you are cold, tea will warm you;
if you are too heated, it will cool you;
If you are depressed, it will cheer you;
If you are excited, it will calm you.” 
― William Ewart Gladstone

 

Hello Darlings! Today is yet another Tea Thursday where I post random quotes about tea just as some food for your thoughts, to get your mind flowing. I hope everyone has a lovely evening! :)

Home Cooked Tostadas

 Today me and my mom decided to make some delicious homemade tostadas! To be honest I was so excited Lol! It has been a while since we last made these, but I decided to blog it and share this easy homemade meal with you! :)

 

 Ingredients: ground beef, bell peppers, onions, Guerrero's corn tortillas, avocado, lemon, cilantro, sliced lettuce, sour cream, canola oil, pinto beans, and mayonnaise.

 After frying the ground beef, you mix it in with slice bell peppers and onions to give it some more flavor, and put the pinto beans to cook. While that is going on you also fry the corn tortillas in the canola oil. Then you get the topping ready! I slice the lettuce and my mom makes this delicious avocado mix. The avocado mix has sliced avocado, cilantro, onion, and squeezed lemon juice. Once that is all ready you take the hard tortilla and spread mayonnaise, then spread the pinto beans, on top of that you put on the ground beef with the lettuce and avocado mix. Voila! :D

Girls Night!

It's only Monday and most people wouldn't even think
 of hosting a sleepover but hey it's summer!
It is a great time to have all you friends come over,
whether on the weekend or during the weekdays.
 Take this time and opportunity to create fun adventures and
 new memories that will hopefully last a lifetime! :)
Here are some sleepover essential must haves.
As a disclaimer,
 these are just examples
 and can be altered for your preference and desires. 

Never forget to go out and buy some of your
favorite snacks and drinks. Whether it be sweet or salty,
you can never go wrong having snacks at a sleepover! 

Having facials or makeovers might be my favorite part of
a sleepover. It doesn't even have to be perfect! It can be for silly
challenges or for instagram selfies!

You can set up a bed or make a fortress! Anywhere so you can
have a place to crash if you get tired. It's also a nice to place
to have your girly conversations or pillow fights. :)

Romance, horror, action and etc. The next part is picking a
movie that you will enjoy.

If you can't find a movie that you like from your DVD
collection, you can never go wrong with Netflix!
It has a whole bunch of movie selections you can pick from.

Here is my younger sister picking our first movie that we'll be
watching tonight on Netflix. :)

Once you have selected a movie, you pop the popcorn and get
out all your snacks. Sit back, relax, and enjoy! :D
