Moscow street festival

Hello!This month is being so hot in Moscow where I live.Daily life in a big city makes people bored and it becomes impossible looking at the same busy streets full of people in a hurry,traffic jams everywhere...One solution:the city need something fresh just as the people need a glass of a cold juice while the temperature outside is increasing.
So,a couple of days ago I read in the Internet about a kind of street festival in the centre where there would be some performances,concerts,dances...And the name of the festival is Opened streets.Perfect.Just what we need.I decided to take my mom,not someone from my friends.Well,she's always so concentrated on daily problems,never relaxed.So we reached the destination at 6 p. m. 
Moscow center is a lovely place when it's sunny,I must tell you.Firstly we walked a bit at Stoleshnikov Pereulok,the street well-known about its luxury boutiques,but we came there not in order to buy something new...No,we came to get some street inspiration...
So, we listened to some classical music played by three guys.We sat on the bench and listened to them,spoke to each other.Such a great pleasure spending your time with your mom like this.Thanks to those guys for perfect atmosphere!



Here they are!Then we became the audience of a kind of an enthusiastically performing rock band!It was really cool hearing a load music at the time when Moscow is in a hurry and people almost don't get into what they hear...Some ice-cream and mom and me are happy.Fortunately the weather didn't spoil anything.
So, I was really happy I had an opportunity to get mom out of the rush and let her get pleasure of Moscow streets in a bit unusual way...We had a nice day!Wish every week's Friday ended like this!!!





By the way this is me!
I wore high heels because they're absolutely comfortable though 11 cm high,
A pair of skinny jeans,rock-designed top 
and my lovely Furla Candy Bag...I'll tell you the story of this bag in my wardrobe somehow later and that's all for today!!
Bye bye!My Chocolate novelty!

Madeira,a place to visit.

Hi there!Fortunately the summer continues and we are not going to stop buzzing,relaxing and spending the time with a pleasure!So, at the moment I'm looking forward to traveling to Greece in a couple of weeks.But I also had a great time at the island of Madeira in July.My family and I stayed in Funchal (the capital of Madeira) and we also visited some areas a bit far from the city.It was the first time I've travelled to Portugal and I decided to tell you about it!
Firstly, what about staying in the centre of Funchal...


This is me, walking in the city centre,the weather here is not as hot as you may think,that's why I had to wear something warm in the afternoon.It's fun passing through the streets, admiring the amazing local gardens and then having some authentic ice cream which is incredibly sweet in Portugal.



Yeah,the gardens and parks in Madeira are great!
One day we had an opportunity to watch the part of Fireworks Atlantic Festival.It was a real show, including music, plenty of bright colors and of course...the sky above the Atlantic.
So, this is me with my brother just waiting for the darkness and the beginning of the show



We stayed at a very nice hotel Pestana Carlton Madeira 5* which was situated probably in the city centre, so we were able to get to any place in Funchal without any problems.



As you know, a swimming pool is a big fun!What about me,I also enjoyed flavors of Milka chocolate which unfortunately I'm not able to taste in Russia.Exciting, I must say



But Madeira is famous about its exotic fruits which you can try visiting the Workers' Market!Mango,papaya,maracuia...it is a real fruit paradise



You can also see a plenty of exotic plants here...they are everywhere





As you see, I had fantastic holidays in Portugal.Lately I'll tell you about eastern and western parts of the island which don't have anything similar between them.
Bye bye!Live a sweet life full of happy moments!

Cheesecake inspiration

Hello!Cheesecake...I doubt there's someone who has never tried this kind of dessert with a light and pleasant taste.Cheesecake is one of the most popular American dishes which you can find at probably any restaurant or cafe all around the world.New Yourk cheesecake with a classical taste, Philadelphia cheesecake with some berry jam...You may choose any and...want some more,of course!
I love cooking,especially some sweet desserts, cakes, biscuits, not only including chocolate, as you might have thought:)
Some days ago while walking in Moscow my friends and I decided to have a dinner at Bosco cafe at GUM.This place is famous not only because of great shopping zone and its history,but it's really nice spending time here,taking photos...So,the menu on the table,what should I choose?Hmm, my favorite risotto with mushrooms, no doubt,but something sweet,something to become happier...Hey,there's a classical cheesecake,so I'm gonna order this one.And it was worth it choosing this kind of dessert.This  unforgettable taste,some berries and a bit of chocolate to make it smart looking.Excellent.Thank you Bosco cafe for a great dessert!

And as I told you, I love cooking.The next day I made I cheesecake for my brother.I followed a simple recipe,some biscuits,Philadelphia cheese,butter,sugar,a couple of hours in the fridge...Here you are!All my family tasted my cheesecake and everyone enjoyed it.So, I'll be happy to make it again one more time!

Real cheesecake inspiration!Live a sweet life and enjoy every moment!Bye!My Chocolate Novelty and many kisses!
