i stumbled upon kris koeller’s blog and was perplexed looking at the beautiful pictures he took during his stay at parrot cay. check out more about his stay here.
parrot cay is a privately owned island just a quick boat ride away from providenciales. it is part of como hotels and resorts, featurng a high end beach resort and a few private houses. it is definitely on my to do list!
growing up on madrid, during summer, we had gazpacho almost every day. of course, i never got to do it, but a couple of years ago my friend Bea shared with me her recipe. its so easy to do, refreshing and healthy – its one of those things i always like having in the fridge.
gazpacho = 8 ripe tomatoes + 1 green bell pepper, with no seeds + 1 cucumber + 2 cloves of garlic
whizz all up in the blender with water, olive oil and salt to taste, place in fridge before serving very cold. love it with some chopped boiled egg – you can also add chopped onions, peppers, cucumber, croutons, and so on.
in provo, try the one they have at the grill rouge (seen on picture).
love, love, love this picture and i’ve been waiting for the right time to post…
Hi there! Ranu from sunshine girl guest posting for Joana today! I’m thrilled J asked me to be a part of her guest posting series, I think her blog is pretty sweet (and so is the latest place she calls home—Turks and Caicos, also known as…paradise).
Speaking of paradise, I find that I’m always drawn to images with a beach or island setting. I have to admit that I’m a beach lover at heart, so the fact that J’s blog has to do with sea, sand and sun is a perfect fit for me. I wanted to share a gorgeous editorial shoot today that features Anja Rubik, one of my favorite models, in a beautiful beach setting. This series of photos has stuck with me since the day I discovered them, and I always use them as a source of inspiration. There’s amazing fashion, and Anja looks so beautiful, using flowers and ferns as accessories, and so natural too. A true island girl at heart.
I hope you’ll find the photos as inspiring as I do! And thanks J, for asking me to guest blog!
what are your plans for the weekend?
after a few rainy days, the nice weather is back on track, it seems we will be having a great weekend ahead!
i will be doing some exploring on the jamie oliver magazine app that i have just downloaded on my ipad, with recipes to die for! so perfect for us in provo, as we don’t get the paperback issue on island.
i leave you with this awesome video, great option for those of us who are afraid of diving with sharks!
ps – make sure you check us out on monday for another killer blogshop guest post!
