This is such a spontaneous recipe - not even a proper recipe but it's more of an update of the original tuna steak recipe (here) because I've discovered the magic of broccoli-potato mash. How haven't I used this simple combo before? One night, my husband and I've been watching Jamie Oliver on 24Kitchen (as you do) and he whips up this amazingness - wow! We immediately ran to the kitchen and yup, it tastes yummy but also provides as much visual interest and nutritional value as possible. Potato is the perfect way to give your body complex carbohydrates which are key to long-term health. Broccoli meets almost all of my standards (also a complex carb) as it's loaded with essential vitamins and minerals, has beautiful color and is delicious when steamed on its own.

Trip to Vienna | Since I'm pretty much home-bound due to my "real" job, I never get to travel much. I always say to myself that I'm going to change this but whenever I get some days off, a ton of house chores are waiting for me, I end up being exhausted (on my time off!) which coupled with chronic sleeplessness aka insomnia due to night shifts leads to a disaster. I end up having tons of nap time which is fab and exactly what I need but - when the time comes to get back to work, I cannot help but feel a bit sad that I haven't used up my time for something more exciting. That's why a trip to Vienna with drogerie markt was absolutely refreshing and a kick to the butt - I need to do this more often! I'm being realistic so I'm aiming at becoming good with short trips, for start.

Regardless how much I'm trying to take care of my body the best I can by eating all the good foods and by working out on a regular basis - the idea of warmer weather and bare limbs on display caught me unprepared! I must admit that I sometimes forget about taking care of the skin of my body and that's a strange philosophy I have going on - even if I'm absolutely exhausted and haven't slept for 24h straight, my face needs the proper makeup removal/cleanse ritual every single time. But when I do shower, I kinda do everything in the quickest possible way - a good shower cream/foam/gel, some shaving and I'm done. I pat myself on the back each time I remember to actually oil my legs and arms. Body scrubs were a passion of mine but I haven't been using them - end result? Rather dry skin.

This is a very interesting addition to my skincare stash and I was extremely excited to test it out mostly because I'm a big fan of both, the EL ANR serum and of facial oils. This product merged my two loves together and is aimed at skin which is showing signs of aging - a skincare issue that is becoming one of my primary concerns. Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Intensive Recovery Ampoules (60 Capsules | $110) are such a luxurious treat - I consider them mini facials.
