Quinoa - Superfood

Quinoa became very popular over the past few months, which is very understandable, given it's so delicious, contains exceptionally high nutritional value, vitamins and minerals, it is extremely easy to prepare and versatile in use.

Last week, I made this delicious quinoa salad - Just cook the quinoa for about 5 minutes in water, add tomatoes, olives, cucumber, avocado, bell pepper, some lemon juice, cumin, black pepper and fresh cilantro and you get a delicious, healthy meal!

Jogging - A little inspiration

I just picked up jogging again and although it's not going too well (5km is not that great :/) I do love being outside just powering through a workout! And the feeling you get afterwards? You feel great! You feel as if you could enter in a Victoria's Secret runway show! Okay not really but you can at least eat a donut guilt free ;)
So here is some inspiration for going outside and run. Whether you can run 5km, 10km or even a complete marathon, the most important thing is having fun!

5 things

Everyone should do this: make sure you get 5 pictures every week of things you did just for yourself, things you like, just to enjoy your life. It also helps to remind yourself how beautiful life is and what things you can do, whether for yourself, your friends or others. Just try it!

There's no better way to start the day than an early morning run!

The Killing - Danish TV series

If you know me just a little, you'll know I'm a huge fan of Scandinavian stuff: music, clothes, design, architecture, the language, films and from the moment I've watched the first episode of "The Killing" also their TV series. Forbrydelsen tells the story of Sarah Lund, a Copenhagen based police detective investigating difficult cases with personal and political consequences.

Exploring music preferences

One of the challenges faced by a music streaming service is to figure out what music to play for the brand-new listener.  The first listening experience of a new listener can be critical to gaining that listener as a long time subscriber. For most music services, there’s a short user enrollment process that gets some basic info from the listener including their email address and some basic demographic information. Included in this information is the date of birth and the gender of the listener. Perhaps we can use basic demographic data to generate a slightly more refined set of artists.
In this post we give you some interesting results they got from these questions. Is there a difference between women and men, age or the city where people live?

Question of style: a story of pallets

Pallets are a constant source of inspiration, you meet them in all interiors without it seems now incongruous, quite the contrary they provide the  plus element, both Recycling and smart in a modern interior. Made of spruce or pine, they require no treatment if you keep them inside, those in pine can also be installed outdoors as they are naturally rot. You doubt it? So some pictures to inspire you.
