Hey pixels!! Today I want to tell you about my first Kickstarter project!! I’m crowdfunding my ideas!! I still can’t believe it. I’ve been thinking about doing a Kickstarter for years but I never could find the good moment. Or I was too afraid to try and fail.

But now, finally I’m doing it. I’ve been brave enough to spread my project, to share my idea with the whole world. Maybe I’ll fail, but it…

Hey, I am here again...

Hey, I am here again…

Hey pixels!! My “month” break is over. I know, it’s been more than one month. I’ve been doing lots of stuff and I’ve taken a couple of decisions during this time.

The first one (and the most difficult) is to temporary stop writing here. Being a blogger is awesome but it’s a hard work and require tons of time. I don’t have all this time amount right now, so I quit blogging to concentrate my…

Spring break

Hey pixels!! As you may know, I started this blog some time ago, I think it was during 2015. I love blogging, I love to write and to share my recipes, the things that happen to me, how I feel…. Nothing has changed, blogging is still awesome.

But now I need a break. My first holidays as a blogger. During the next weeks I’m taking a blog holiday. This is not a goodbye, my happy pixels! I’ll start…

Creative writing XII: ideas in a box

Creative writing XII: ideas in a box

Hey pixels!! This is the last post about creative writing. Is sad but this post series is coming to an end…. I’ve shared with you all my new knowledge, I hope that it has been useful.

Today’s post is about how to keep writing. How to keep your ideas in a safe place. It’s easy to forget them: you have a good idea but you don’t write about it, so you forget it. I have my own method to avoid that.…

Creative writing XI: creativity (2/2)

Creative writing XI: creativity (2/2)

Hey pixels!! Last week we talked about writing tips. Today I’m publishing the second part of the list. This second part is about creativity. How to embrace it. How to live in a more creative way. We talked about creativity at class. How do we have ideas, what do we do to relax ourselves, the creative activities we prefer…. Because creativity is not related to a single activity. If you make some…

Things I always carry in my bag

Things I always carry in my bag

Hey pixels!! A few days ago I read a wonderful post about this subject and I decided to explain what I carry in my bag. The post was on Cheila’s blog; please, visit and follow her, she is amazing!! Thanks for the inspiration, my lovely friend!! Last year I wrote about what I carry in my bag while travelling. It was just before going to my summer trip, but things change a bit when I’m at my…

Vegan Chicken Noodle Soup

Vegan Chicken Noodle Soup

Hey pixels!! I know it’s spring but temperatures are still a bit cool. And it’s windy almost everyday. So it’s still time to eat soup. This is a vegan version of the traditional chicken noodle soup. Without cruelty and using shells instead of noodles. I love this shell shaped pasta. I use it frequently. The key is to change the traditional chicken broth for a vegetable one. To change the chicken…

Creative writing X: some useful tips (1/2)

Creative writing X: some useful tips (1/2)

Hey pixels!! I have a long list of useful tips that my creative writing teacher gave us during the last class I had. Actually is so long that I’ve divided it into two posts. I don’t want to publish a long and boring post. I think that it will be more instructive and easy to read if I divide the long list in two parts. This is the first part. This part is more about how to write and the second…

Mushroom omelette sandwich

Hey pixels!! Today’s recipe is a yummy sandwich! We’ve made some sandwiches and omelettes before, but not together…. It’s time to eat them together. This is a nice combo, my happy pixels!! Mine is a mushroom omelette but, of course, you can choose your own ingredients to make yours. The procedure will be the same. I used portobello mushrooms and a shallot because I love the combination of its…

Thrift store finds you can flip to make money

Thrift store finds you can flip to make money

Hey pixels!! As you may know I visit the local thrift store from time to time, to try to find beautiful and valuable stuff. A book, a necklace, some pottery to use for food photos…. Things that are useful for me. But sometimes you can also find something that you could resell to earn some money. I don’t know what do you think about this option. Is an ethical option? Or not? I’ve never done it,…

Strawberry basic milkshake

Hey pixels!! It’s strawberry season: now they are fresh and yummy. Why not blending them to make a natural and awesome milkshake?? Drinking fruit is another way of eating fruit. Is it?? To make this recipe I use a kind of heavy cream that is sold whipped but frozen, as it was ice cream. I guess that you could use vanilla ice cream if you don’t want to whip the cream or if you can’t find store…

Creative writing IX: Co-authors

Creative writing IX: Co-authors

Hey pixels!! Today’s post is all about co-authors: what exactly are they, pros and cons of writing with more people, and some famous co-authors examples. The most traditional way of writing is alone but sometimes you may need someone to develop your idea, or maybe you’ve had the idea together, or you want to start a creative project with a friend or your partner. This post is all about what…

Mushroom risotto

Hey pixels!! How is spring going? The first week of april is gone… Today is another meatless monday. Do you fancy a yummy risotto to celebrate it?? The vegan option is the same but excluding the fried egg…. Today I was only cooking for me, so you’ll see that a risotto can be made just for one. I love the flavour of this recipe, I think it’s amazing. Don’t worry if you’ve never cooked a risotto…

March, 2018

Hey pixels!! I don’t know if march has been my busiest month this year or not. This is what I’ve been doing, or at least the most important stuff I’ve done. March has been a good month, the end of winter, a cold spring start, Easter…. I feel optimistic and motivated. I feel that I’ve had a good year until now, and I’m entering into spring with lots of energy to keep up with my creative projects.…

Tomato & rice soup

Tomato & rice soup

Hey pixels!! How are you?? I hope that you’re ok, another weekend is almost here. There is a better way to wait for saturday than eating a yummy and cozy vegan rice soup? I don’t think so. This tomato and rice soup is wonderful. I love both main ingredients: tomatos and rice. The fact that is healthy, vegan and ready in 30′ makes it even better. This soup can be amazing as a lunch or a dinner. I…

Creative writing VIII: how to finish a story

Creative writing VIII: how to finish a story

Hey pixels!! Last week we talked about how to start a story. Now it’s time to finish it. To finish a story does not means that all the work is over. No, it means that the first phase of the writing process is over. The second phase is about to start. That means: reading what we’ve done and make changes. Rewriting a book is as important as writing it for the first time. When we are writing the…
