These are my favorites lately.. recipes, books and things that make me anticipate the arrival of Summer and days at the Beach. I hope you feel inspired. 
WEAR
- Vintage Bazaar's new Aljezur collection... is beautiful. I already have several pieces in my closet. Some of my favorites are this printed jumpsuit and this satin blouse.
- I'm already feeling the heat of summer coming and until then there are many weekends spent enjoying cooler dives in the sea. I'm a fan of swimsuits, perhaps because I think that at 40 it makes more sense and that's why I loved the new Latitid collection. This is already on my wishlist!
ps By the way, for anyone from Porto or the surrounding area, MPL'beauty is at the LATITID store on Esplanada do Castelo n107, 4150-196. The store is VERY beautiful, it's worth seeing!
EAT
These Vegan cheese. I found out about it because of something Fernanda Diniz shared. I tried it and I was hooked!! They are really delicious. My favorite so far: Olive Oregano and Labneh Zaatar!
TO READ
I’m in an “old school vegetarian” cookbook phase. Some of them have been with me for over 20 years, but they continue to be some of the most used in our house. I leave you the ones I have used the most:
- Moosewood Make the poppy seed cake (the best).
- The New Farm The carob cake is really worth making.
- Tassajara Make the satay noodles!!
REVENUE
You really don't want to miss this recipe, because it's a classic in our house and everyone loves it!! The best vegan chocolate cake . You can see the full recipe here and keep an eye on Instagram because a tutorial video will be released on Sunday to make it at home!
TO HEAR
After the scandal surrounding Gwenyth Paltrow's interview with Dr Will Cole (if you're not aware, you can find out everything here ), I loved listening to this podcast where he is interviewed by my favorite Luke Storey . Basically, he seems much less fundamentalist in the conversation than in the podcast with GP .
PS: I don't like Dr Will Cole's podcast at all... sorry. But I liked its presence in the LS . However, there is no doubt that the “ broth ” that is talked about is good for your health. Helps with collagen, supports and strengthens skin, hair and bones... but eating other things of course! You can see my recipe here .
MY FAVORITES OF THE WEEK
These are the products that I have used the most this week and that until April 14th will be at a 15% discount here .
- Cardamom toothpaste I can't live without! It is without a doubt one of my favorite MPL'beauty products.
- Stick Feet Now that the heat is finally here, you already want to walk around with your feet exposed. This stick will completely transform the softness and appearance of your feet. Especially in conjunction with the nanoglass file, it is very effective! If you want to know more about this natural pedicure, you can read more here .
- Calm down Anyone who reads our Blog knows how much I depend on this instant cocoa drink to help me relax at the end of the day (or when I feel like eating dessert). You can easily see recipes HERE !
- Moisturizes So that your body's skin remains well hydrated in preparation for beach days. Without a doubt, it is a must for anyone with dry skin.
- Sleeping Drops If you are a light sleeper like me, these drops are life changing, I take them every day 1 hour before bed.
My favorite OG, I love this deodorant ! Now we have the stick version , super practical, but I also love the original cream version. With no antiperspirant ingredients, no aluminum or fragrances, these deodorants are safer for the whole family, at any age!
