A visit to Benagalbón

Today I went to Benagalbón for the first time. It's a tiny little village some kilometros from where I live, up in the mountains. I fell in love with that village, it reminds me so much of the villages in the Alpujarras, in the province of Granada. Here are some pictures, so you can see for yourself, what "typical Spanish" really means... I went...

Kiddies on vacation

My boys are on vacation for almost a week – Wednesday to Monday. God, give me patience!!! *lol* We don’t plan to go anywhere special, since money isn’t on my side, but I’ll try to take them at least once to Malaga and once to one of the villages close to ours. There is so much to do that doesn’t cost a lot of money. Fortunately, my kids are used to living this way, they don’t ask for a lot of things, because they know I couldn’t buy it anyway, even if I wanted to. In a way I think that’s good for them, they have learned that if you want something...

Selling make up

Several friends of mine sell make up & perfume in their spare time. I think they are doing quite OK so I've decided to give it a try. I've registred for Avon and Oriflame, and I'm on the lookout for more companies. I really really really do need an extra income. Well actually, I'm in desperate need of an income, period, since I'm still unemployed... :-( I'd like to have a go at Tupperware as well, but I don't really know enough people. I guess I'll have to make this a long term project...

Walking home

I went to Málaga this morning to do an errand and since I finished early I decided I'd walk home. I don't know the distance but I guess it's about 10 or 11 km. Due to the rain and cold I haven't walked anything at all this week so a brisk walk home would do me great. It was cold but at least it didn't rain although the sky was really grey and ugly....

Green tea

So here I am, having my first cup of green tea today. I've decided to try the magical powers of green tea. *lol* Green tea contains a lot of antioxidants and other stuff that's good for you, and it is said to "eat" the body fat. Boy, could I do with that? I've decided to change the things I eat, when and how.... I LOOVE bread and although bread in itself doesn't make you fat, it does make your tummy huge if you're sensible and I think I am, so I've decided to avoid bread as much as I can. I couldn't live totally without bread, I'm Spanish and...
