Energy tips by Lala Koala

Ever feel like you need 3 cups of coffee just to get through a simple day at work/school? I do!  Recently I decided I will try to drink less coffee and try to find energy through consuming healthier products like fruits and veggies. Here are a few energy drinks you can consume without feeling guilty:  The first one is called yellow energy: 1-2 oranges, 1 piece of ginger, handful of pineapples. Add a little bot of ice and low-fat yogurt. I add flavored low-fat yogurt. Koala's energy flow: Handful of watermelon, 1 1/2 cups of blueberries, 1 apple, 2-4 strawberries, a handful of blueberries half of a tangerine. Again ice and low-fat yogurt, I used peach low-fat yogurt. Green Madness: Take the energy-packing power of leafy greens, greek yogurt, apples and bananas, and combine it with any other fruits you like, and you've got a wake-up call in a glass. Spinach and kale are favorites for green smoothies because their mild flavor is masked or even complemented by the fl

Summer body tips by Lala Koala

Summer is creeping up so quick. I can't believe it is already almost april! It feels like New Years Eve was just last week!!!! I have been doing a lot of research of different work outs and "diets". By diet, I don't mean just a month of diet. What I mean is changing a lifestyle and nutritional plan.  I'm the worst eater. I hate most of the veggies. I can literally name you veggies I will eat in 20 seconds. My list is that short. However, I have been forcing myself to learn to like new things. In order to do that, I cook them. I start with frying. Unfortunately the vegetable looses all the nutrients by that stage and becomes irrelevant for the diet, but that is how I get used to the new taste. For example: the other day my roommate gets home and says "You must try this fried cauliflower!!!" I said EW, cauliflower? I hate cauliflower. She goes on and says she hates it too but her friend forced her one time to try fried version and she loved i

Getaway... by Lala Koala

With my schedule being so busy any time I have any kind of free time I like to go to the beach, clear my head, relax, tan, listen to the waves and absolutely always must have lunch or a drink at a restaurant that over looks the water. Nothing satisfies me more than a magnificent view. Just yesterday I had some free time, so I decided to go to Laguna Beach. I absolutely love that place. It's so relaxing and pretty. Art galleries, gorgeous beach, perfect water and of course great restaurants! For lunch I went to this place called The Cliff. I only had their clam chowder, which was really good. After I enjoyed a beer. It was a perfect day.  This picture is not mine, for  my pictures you may follow me on instagram @laasbella This is one perfect picture of Laguna Beach. One day I hope to live there. A few cool places to go in Laguna are: Thousand Steps, Treasure Island, Crystal Cove, Forest, and of course there are a ton of art galleries everywhere.  Thi

Sometimes I surf the web for nothing but cool stuff.

This is a perfect get away spot in my mind. The waterfall completes this perfect design with a refreshing touch. It looks amazing, and I would be one lucky person if I ever got a chance to visit a spot like this! This is one lucky dog! How cool is this dog palace?! I have a little dog and she would looove those stairs! she loves running up and down the stairs, as I'm sure lots of other dogs love it too. I found this pictures and I fell in love with this spot. I mean why not get a pool that is as big as a whole river?! This place looks so freaking awesome! I'd love to wake up to this every morning! God, this is one amazing view! I can't stop staring at this magnificent picture! Another great looking get away spot. It looks like it could be a great time share location. Glass everything! The pool! It looks crystal clear! Ahhhh making me want to go to vacation NOW! If I ever get lucky to go to a place that has these things for rent I would rent one i

Traveling...

I love traveling. I love exploring what this world has to offer to me. 2 years ago I went to Europe. Visited my home country Estonia. Also stopped my Stockholm and London.  Today I'll share some of the pictures I took in Sweden.  Sweden was one of the most beautiful places I have yet seen. The part I visited was surrounded by water. It seemed as if the whole city is just sitting on top of the water.  The weather wasn't the greatest, as you could tell from the picture, but it was still a great experience. I also visited the Queen's castle, which was under construction, however I managed to snap a good enough picture  Im not sure what this building was but it was right next to the castle and looked really great so I snapped a picture of it as well Everything seemed as it's made out of gold. For example this was a random bank in downtown. It looks as if it's the castle it self. A cute park in downtown Stockhol
