These are my favorites lately... recipes, books, and things that make me look forward to summer and days at the beach. I hope you feel inspired. 
DRESS
- The new Aljezur collection from Vintage Bazaar is beautiful. I already have several pieces in my closet. Some of my favorites are this printed jumpsuit and this satin blouse.
- I can already feel the summer heat arriving, and until then, many weekends enjoying cooler dips in the sea. I'm a fan of swimsuits, perhaps because I think they make more sense at 40, and that's why I loved Latitid's new collection. This one is already on my wishlist!
By the way, for those in or around Porto, MPL'beauty is located in the LATITID store at Esplanada do Castelo n107, 4150-196. The store is VERY beautiful, it's worth a visit!
EAT
These vegan cheeses. I discovered them because of something Fernanda Diniz shared. I tried them and got hooked!! They are really delicious. My favorite so far: Olive Oregano and Labneh Zaatar!
TO READ
I'm currently into "old-school vegetarian" cookbooks. Some of them have been with me for over 20 years, but they remain some of the most frequently used in my home. Here are the ones I've been using most:
Moosewood makes poppy seed cake (the best).
The New Farm : It's really worth making the carob cake.
- Tassajara Make the satay noodles!!
REVENUE
You really won'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 stay tuned to Instagram because a tutorial video will be released on Sunday so you can make it at home!
TO HEAR
After the scandal of Gwyneth Paltrow's interview with Dr. Will Cole (if you don't know, you can find out all about it here ), I loved listening to this podcast where he's interviewed by my favorite , Luke Storey . Deep down, he seems much less fundamentalist in the conversation than in the podcast with GP .
PS: I really don't like Dr. Will Cole's podcast... sorry. But I enjoyed your appearance on LS 's. However, without a doubt, the much-talked-about " broth " is good for your health. It helps with collagen, supports and strengthens skin, hair, and bones... but only when you eat other things, of course! You can see my recipe here .
MY FAVORITES OF THE WEEK
These are the products I've been using the most this week, and they'll be 15% off here until April 14th.
Cardamom toothpaste - I can't live without it! It's undoubtedly one of my favorite MPL'beauty products.
- Foot Stick Now that the heat has finally arrived, you'll want to show off your feet. This stick will completely transform the softness and appearance of your feet. Especially when used with the nanoglass file, it's very effective! If you want to know more about this natural pedicure, you can read more here .
Relax ! Those who read our blog know how much I depend on this soluble cocoa drink to help me unwind at the end of the day (or when I feel like having dessert). You can see recipes for it HERE !
- Hydrates: To keep the skin of the body well hydrated in preparation for beach days. Without a doubt, it's a must for those with dry skin.
Sleep Drops - If you're a light sleeper like me, these drops are life-changing. I take them every day 1 hour before bed.
My favorite OG deodorant , I love it! Now we have the stick version , super practical, but I also love the original cream version. Without antiperspirant ingredients, aluminum, or fragrances, these deodorants are safer for the whole family, at any age!
