PERFECT BOLOGNESE SAUCE RECIPE

PERFECT BOLOGNESE SAUCE RECIPE

Perfect Italian Bolognese Sauce

I am a huge fan of Bolognese pasta, and I like to prepare it on Sundays because first I love it and second it relaxes me. For me preparing Bolognese is like one-hour yoga session.

Bolognese has a history, and actually the first documented ragout (meat-based sauce) pasta recipe comes from the 18th. The recipe was published by Pellegrino Artusi, an Italian businessman, better known for his cookbook La Scienza in Cucina e l'arte di mangiar bene ("Science in the Kitchen and the Art of Eating Well")

Normally I cooked just for one hour, but after talking with the lovely Valentina ( the blogger behind Valentina in shorts) I realized that I was making the sauce with not enough time for the ragout really to cook.

She suggested cooking the sauce for at least for 3 hours instead of 1, and I followed this time her recipe

Trend Report Paper bag Pants

The paper bag pants are the new essential of this season. They are elegant like Marlene pants but cool like a pair of jeans.

If you are looking to focus your waistline, this pair is for you. The Paper bag pant is perfect to create the hourglass illusion to your body and is very easy to combine. Whether is with a bodysuit with high heels and layers of necklaces, to a crop top with a blazer or why not with a cool t-shirt?

 

This trend is here to stay and we are fascinated about it.

 

The best way to wear a paper bag pant is with a fitted top. Although The paper bag pants tend to add a bit volume to your figure, they can be very stylish, therefore you have to balance the volume on your body.

Nevertheless, you can also add layers to your outfit, with a crop top and a long blazer to cover your hips, cardigan or jackets. Important is to choose slim styles to avoid adding extra volume to your outfit.

Because the paper bag pants add the focus to your waist, you can add some balance by using a statement pair of earrings, to bring some attention to your face, or a statement necklace to have a similar effect.

But if you are petite, actually this pair of pants is ideal for you because will elongate your legs, and it will give the illusion that you look taller. By adding a pair of heels, you will look amazing and tall.

Some paperbag pants come with a belt and some not, the best option in the case your pant comes without a belt is to combine it with a thinner belt rather than a thick one. Most of the paper bag pants come with a ruffled up on the waist and you don't want to cover up the ruffles with a thick belt.

For those of you who are tall, you can combine with flat shoes or even white sneakers.

If you are not the curvy one, like I am, but you rather have a straight body, this pair of pants will define your waistline and will give the illusion of an hourglass shape body.

HOW TO GET ORGANIZED WITH JACQUES LEMANS

HOW TO GET ORGANIZED WITH JACQUES LEMANS

How to get organized 

Nowadays, life can get sometimes so busy that it is hard to keep track of all. The secret to success is to be organized, and have all under control. But, sometimes we can get lost in the mess of our days. However, it is important to keep track of our appointments, emails, content you name it! And sometimes it can be hard if you are not well organized.

Currently, we are always on the run, and with the expectations of anywhere workplace, it is important to get the most out of our day. But, how can get my time better-organized, without giving up on the mess?

It's all about Time

Nowadays is all about timing, and how well we manage our time. It is important to plan your day in advance. How do I do it? Every night, before I go to bed, I prepare a mental to-do list, of the things I need to do the next day. Like this, I prioritized the most important things and I woke up with my task on my head.

Because I am a person who wakes up every morning at 6 am (except for the weekends) I like to drink my coffee in peace and start immediately my day. Meanwhile, I drink my coffee at home, I answer email, write articles and send proposals, like this the most important tasks I can accomplish, I do them at this time.

Set Priorities

The most important tasks I need to do I always do them first. If I need to go to the gym I do it first thing in the morning and is a task less on my list. Like this, the most important things I need to do are done in the morning, and the rest is easy to organize.

I keep track of my time. How?

Well with the lifetime pieces of Jacques Lemans watch, they are not just beautiful but they make time look beautiful. They are based in Carinthia Austria and have 40 years of experience. Jacques Lemans has customers in more than 120 countries and around 9600 sales locations worldwide.

What I like about Jacques Lemans

Jacques Lemans is a family business company, which I personally found inspiring. They have high-quality watches at an incredible price, but more importantly, they have so many styles; it was hard for me to pick one. Imagine they have over 600 different watches, so yes it was very difficult to find one.

My favorite

When I saw, the model Manchester with massive stainless steel with rose color; I immediately fall in love. Although I find this watch elegant, it has also a subtle sporty touch. I always wanted a stainless watch, but my problem was all the watches I found where to big for my wrist. This one has a case diameter of 36 mm, which is the perfect size for me. Another thing that I like is how versatile it is, I can take it with me during my busy days, but also to the gym, which makes it ideal for me because I hate to change watches during the day.

Bracelet: solid stainless steel

Case Diameter: 36 mm

Highlight: Quartz Crystal

Dial Color: Silver and rose

Crystal: hardened crystex crystal

Water resistance: 10ATM

As I said before, nowadays time seems to fly, and there is no better reminder that the real luxury here is time...
