The Land of Waterfalls! Brazil: Foz do Iquaçu.


As we neared the Foz do Iguaçu Airport, we flew over miles and miles of trees. I thought that we would be staying in the jungle as I tried to do as little research as possible, so that I could be surprised.




Then, a river came into sight with what seemed like a large hole in the Earth. It was the waterfalls. From above, I had no idea how we were going to get there, not knowing all the roads were hidden by the tall trees.






Walking out the doors of the airport, I could feel the thick cloud of mist as I inhaled the fresh rainforest's air. We took a highway surrounded by miles of trees until we reached a small town. It was quaint and pleasant with many shops and restaurants.

Healthy Breakfast Inspiration! Banana Peanut Butter Toast and Its Nutritional Value.

Nowadays, everyone is looking to get fit. Deciding to go on crazy diets that never work, this I speak from experience. I don't know about anyone else, but if I eat too little, I get extremely hungry, I become an animal, scarfing down anything that comes my way, and end up eating twice as much as I should have. After three years, I lost 15 pounds that I gained while studying in Switzerland. Currently, I hardly work out, only once a week now. I also only began to exercise 1 year ago. The reason I lost that weight was not because I ate less and was trying to be anorexic like everyone thought. I lost weight because I doubled up on protein and vegetables, and ate less than half of my usual carb intake. I also started replacing food with organic and healthy products. 


The Internet has really helped me discover healthy, delicious and filling recipes! 

As you age, your taste buds change. Disregarding food that makes your tummy ache is part of growing up. I used to love eating candy every day and I hated vegetables. Now, I eat vegetables every day and can only handle candy once every few weeks. I also used to hate bananas because of the texture. But since I found this recipe, I've loved them because when mixed with the crunchiness of the toast, it's perfect! This is the Banana Peanut Butter Toast Recipe! I first discovered this on Pinterest from the Living Tastefully Blog
