Our version of California Barley Bowl

Hi healthy eaters!

It’s high time to tell another…. let’s say ‘story’. Well, we had a few days off from the school, so that we could relax and rest and obviously do even more things we wanted to. And For both of us these four free days has just passed by without ‘saying anything’. It’s just like when you really need a few days off and when it’s time to go back to ‘reality’, just sometimes you don’t feel like doing so. Nonetheless, remember to stay positive no matter what, and we are aware of the fact that sometimes it must be so hard to keep the head up, but trust us à without the proper attitude towards various things you would do nothing! This post is going to be more personal, even though we try to write some ‘life thoughts’ or ‘life uplifting comments’, so that maybe we may make some of you feel better or even smile. We are not experts at advising people on a huge scale, but we believe that even a few smart and mature words can help somebody go through a tough time. So just don’t forget to stay positive, because it helps a lot. What is more, you should apprehend that it does not matter what people say or think about you, because gossips don’t define a person. And you have to know that you should not be bothering yourself with thought including the size you wear or your appearance. What really matters is to be found inside an individual and the best way to get to know someone is to talk to them and be open. We are adamant that many people have said these words before even  thousands, millions or billions times, additionally every day we tend to spread them, still not many people believe and follow those words. We live in the society for who people’s values or standpoints are not that important as we he has and what he can give. So our advice is to keep you head up no matter what, because if there is someone who cares for you, then he cares for you because he likes the person you are. Stay true to yourself and don’t bring yourself down. Once Margaret Thatcher said ‘ if you set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing’. We find these words incredibly  true and adequate to nowadays’ society. But you should also remember that food provides people with nutrients and vitamins, but it makes people feel better as well, especially when they eat healthy! That is why we decided to prepare something quick and refreshing for today and we deeply believe that you will enjoy!
