Black almond spread

Mandličky na chleba: Česká verze zde:-)

How many times have you wanted to eat your hand cream or lip balm with almond or cinnamon flavor? I have 743 times.

So when I saw the Organic Almond Spread for bread, I imagined something like that. Something sweet that would remind me of Christmas gingerbread.

Plus I immediately imagined the benefits to my health. Because what do almonds contain?

-          Magnesium for the health and beauty of my nails, hair, skin and maybe even theeth!

-          Fiber for...what is fiber good for actually?

-          Vitamines D, B, E for eternal youth and strong immunite system

-          Minerals of all kinds

-          Healthy fats which are helpful for my dry skin and prevent the heart from many deseases.

Who knows what almonds contain But anyway? I imagined myself with great shiny long hair (without those damn dry ends), with a radiant skin, white theeth (huh?) and a slim silhouette (because I read the almond´s fat is not going to our hips and other parts of the body, you know what I mean, right?).

The miracle called Almond Spread cost nearly 8 euro, but what? Eight euro for my health, what can be cheaper?

I came home completely excited, opened the bottle, took a spoon and tried...oh, God. It is disgusting! It is oily, tasteless and nothing that would remind me of Christmas. I also try it with bread and OK, it is not that bad. I mean, it is not peanut butter.

But it is fine. I might even like it eventually.

Actually, yeah, I like it. It is filling and healthy.

And in a few months, I´m going to be beautiful, radiant, with shiny hair and a slim body full of magnesium.

I know. I´ve always been good at being naive:-)

What about you? Do you know something tasty and healthy?

Blog Život podle Lucie now also in English!

Blog Život podle Lucie nyní také anglicky: česká verze zde:-)

I know. Finally.

I have always preached on this blog about how important it is to DARE to take the first step toward your dreams but recently it’s been me who’s been finding new and more creative excuses not to do so. All the time.

I´m not talking about modeling now. I´m talking about English.

My English-speaking friends have been asking me for a while when the hell I was going to translate this blog to English. And I kept telling them how crazy they must be. But yesterday morning I woke up and knew there were no excuses anymore.

I make thousands of mistakes, right? But thanks to my great English teachers – Chona and Catherine – I´ve learnt a lot of grammar recently. And I have also learnt that mistakes are a normal part of life – and certainly of learning English.

I mustn´t be afraid of making mistakes. Otherwise, I won’t learn the language properly.
I musn´t be afraid to experiment. 
I mustn´t be afraid that some Oxford professor would bitterly correct the mistakes I make here.  What would an Oxford professor be doing here anyway, right:-)?

So. From this moment on most of the articles on this blog Život Podle Lucie (= Life according to Lucie) are going to be in English. Especially those saying that Czech girls are the most beautiful in the world:-)
To English!
