Hello Angels,

Especially last two years, the second subject I am interested in after fashion is healthy lifestyle. I quited to eat sugar two years ago. Sometimes I eat only an ice cream. If you are living in Rome, It is impossible to give up on ice cream 🙂

I never loved junk food or soda drinks but I was drinking my coffee with dessert or chocolate. Also I wasn’t drinking my tea and coffee without sugar. The most interesting part is I was drinking at least two cup of coffee and one cup of tea everyday. Now I am very glad to quit sugar.

I am a very active person. I go to gym 4 days a week and I walk a lot. Especially after gym I feel very hungry. I prepare myself a nice cup of coffee and healthy snack. I love to try new recipes and there are millions of recipes to try. I would like to share my favorite healthy snacks at the moment.
