Balsamic Marinated Avocado and Tomato

Hello!
The sky is starting to clear up! The rainy season is going to have a break for few days :)
As I wrote before, I am going to attend the finals of the survival food contest tomorrow! I hope it will be nice and sunny. I will write about the contest next week if I get a chance.


Today, I will translate my easy recipe using balsamic vinegar.
My photo doesn't look good, but tastes great!
I took this picture 3 years ago. How time flies!

Yesterday, I went to the spa again. I had the third (last) free facial treatment. This time, I had a powerful vitamin therapy, which involves the use of ultrasonic wave. They say it facilitates penetration of vitamins A, C, E and beta-carotene 100 times more into the skin (compared to the first treatment). Hope it did... Anyway, I had a good chance to learn about beauty salon treatments!

I want to try to keep up my sense of beauty.
I believe this idea is important to keep one's youth!

Okay, see you next week!
Enjoy your weekend :)

Hello!
Still cloudy out here :(
Hope not rain.

It's Friday!
I'm kind of busy, so I will translate my easy & popular recipe.
Currently, 47 people have made this and said good! You can find their photo reports down this page.

Same as yesterday, I used Yamasa's Konbu Tsuyu (3 times concentrated Konbu kelp seaweed soup stock) for this recipe.

Yesterday, I started to take a hot bath and massage cellulite (lymph).
I found this is the easiest way to remove the cellulite at home.
Am I easily swayed?!
But I always think it is better than doing nothing...

Okay, see you next week :)
