Confessions of a Pinner

I've been debating whether or not I should start this blog or not, and then after some encouragement from my lovely mom and my very supportive husband, I did! I have been a huge Pinner for some time now (sometimes a bit obsessed) and I love trying everything I Pin about. I love DIYs, nail designs, decorating and my ultimate favorite: baking! And basically anything on Pinterest!

So the thing is, as most of you Pinners out there know, sometimes I doubt whether or not the things we see on Pinterest really work or not. And I have googled a lot of times if something really works or not, sometimes I do find it and a lot of times I don't. This leads me to think about this blog! It's basically trying out the pins I've done and said my experience with them or some suggestions, while also showing and explaining my own pins. You can follow me on Pinterest and even suggest some pins I should try out! I hope you enjoy it!

Easy Tiramisu (Chef Recipe)

Every year for my parent's anniversary I'm in charge of making them a nice cake. And I have tried to start a tradition with this. One year it's my mom's favorite dessert: black forest cake. The following is my dad's favorite: tiramisu. And finally, the third year is a surprise. It sounds complicated but it's really fun to do it this way and a lot easier. The hard part is to find that "perfect" recipe. Whenever it's about a month until their anniversary, I start my Pinterest hunt on that perfect recipe. This year it was my dad's favorite: tiramisu. And so I searched through hundreds of pins until I found one that had everything I wanted. The recipe was fairly easy and I had access to all of the ingredients and it even included a YouTube video which is amazing! And I mean, look at how delicious it looks! I took that image from her website. This pin was taken from Recipe Tin Eats , they have many incredible recipes that I will for ...

Turning trash into treasure: My new TV stand

Does it ever happen to you that you need something but you don't have the money to get it? Or that you don't want to throw something out because you know it has the potential for something way better? Well, both things happened to me with my TV stand. I had just moved into my new apartment which was extremely old and needed a remodeling asap. That's where all of my money went to the endless remodeling. Some of the things I needed to remodel was the kitchen (which is an ongoing project). It literally had a stove and a broken countertop. I went to an app called Wallapop (one of my favs) and then after endlessly searching for some kitchen furniture found one. It was a lot more furniture than what I needed but it was such an amazing price that I said yes to it all. And so then some friends installed the new kitchen cabinets and countertops but naturally, there were a couple of extra ones. Instead of immediately selling them, I thought of ways to use them around the house. ...

Mani Monday: Summer Feels

Mondays are not always considered the best day of the week. People usually dread Mondays, however, one good thing about Mondays is Mani Mondays! Here in Barcelona city, it is a gloomy, rainy day which means that if you can stay at home, you should. And what better way to spend it then pampering yourself and maybe doing your nails. Pinterest is full of ideas for nail art if you're having trouble getting some ideas. I found a picture of one time I did my nails as a summer sunset with a gradient of colors, palm trees, and seagulls, well the typical beach drawing seagulls. I saw three pins I liked and mixed them up a bit. When it comes to nail art, I don't usually follow instructions unless I really feel like I should, so I didn't go onto any websites to do this nail design, I just followed the pictures shown. One was this one on the left, which I saved onto my "Nails" folder on Pinterest. What I loved was the fact that not every nail had palm trees. I had se...
