Hi friends!!  Happy Friday from SWITZERLAND

I´m here for a shorter than usual trip.  Arrived late last night, spent the day wandering around today, then tomorrow we are off to CHAMONIX for the day, and then I´m back to Madrid early Sunday morning.  Spain is going to feel tropical after the cold that they have here!!!

Honestly, it really isn´t all that bad if you´re bundled up.  I´ll probably be singing a different tune tomorrow at more than 3,000 meters in the air (from a mountain top).

Here are a few things I´ve been loooovin´lately.

Kaki (Persimmon, for you American folk)

I really think these aren´t popular/ common in the U.S but they should be!  They are SO GOOD!!!  I buy at least 4 per week and love them on their own or on top of yogurt.  

Big curls with the flat iron

Where have I been?!  I know that everyone uses a flat iron to curl their hair, but it never occurred to me that, um, I can do it too!!  And I love the way the curls come out big and flowy.

This recipe for this incredible Moroccan Chicken with Apricots and Dates.  

It looks complicated, but it couldn´t be easier and it´s delicious.  (The recipe is for a slow cooker, but I did it on the stove without any issues).  Serve it with cous cous.  You´re welcome.

All of the cool new murals I have been seeing around Madrid.

Every week it seems like their is a new one and I always stop to take a picture.

My brother is coming on Monday!!!  I couldn´t be more excited to show him my stomping grounds.

And last, but not least… this photo kills me.  DEAAAAAAAAAAAAD.

That´s it!  I hope you have a fun, cozy, crazy, relaxing weekend.  🙂
