Music as an Aphrodisiac

Recently I had yet another opportunity to be surrounded by my lovely friends and one story stuck in my little wondering head...it's a story of music and how it has connected and changed us over the years.

My friend was telling us how he used to listed to Italian pop, then to commercial electronic beats, the classic disco beats, and now we have a whole new genre of music that connects us. We were trying to name it and it ended up being the "sexy house".

What I love about it the most is that it has no borders as I personally don't believe in them anyway. Music connects same minded people from around the World and through music, they can understand each other and connect on another level, which one really can't explain. Music is international, no matter which speaking language the artist is actually using. A bit like sex when you think of it. 

Music can make you happy, sad, laugh, cry, remember people and moments in life, dream about the future, give you hope, give you energy, and feel the World around you. A bit like love when you think of it. 

A good music artist can manipulate his or her audience in whichever way they want to as we react to vibration around us. Therefore, music is the ultimate aphrodisiac, because "Music is the Answer" (A. Benoin).

The Art of Loving is the Act of Giving

From roses to avocados to ginger to...I won't even go there because today it is a different kind of love we are talking about. It is the pure, innocent, often unappreciated unconditional love called friendship. And we all need to be reminded of its existence once in a while, but how? 

Well, if you are a lucky one like me :) :) :)

First of all, too much mezcal is always good. And yes, mezcal is an aphrodisiac. I have heard of people having orgasms in the middle of restaurants after those. I can't assure you it's true but that's what I have been told. Too much mezcal can also get you all the way to Miami, and for the Winter Music Conference too!!! A proven fact that is.

Life is Like a Box of Chocolates

Forrest Gump was so smart. Life is like such a box of chocolates and I looooove chocolate. All of it.

Oh it's so much fun. You never know what you gonna get but you can play with what you get :)

Addicted to Sun

I was posting quite a bit about roses lately, and they are indeed flowers to admire. Full of color, full of character, and even full of flavor, and OMG they can even hurt you. Yes, respect to the roses.

However, after giving it some thought...my favorite flowers are probably none others but the SUN flowers :) They are like puppies. Innocent, not too extravagant, no horns, no spikes, always happy, large beautiful smile....that you can pick and eat and its full of vitamins too. They really look like a happy sunshine.

What makes an aphrodisiac?

I have been inspired recently by a few aphrodisiac cookbooks and their chefs. Some have great recipes, some provoke with their creative photography, some are just sexy, and all have good stories.

I also found out that apparently the US Food and Drug Administration “FDA” does not recognize food as aphrodisiacs. According to the FDA the “curing” effects of these jewels have not been scientifically proven and hence you may not claim your passion as direct relation to your partners cooking skills unless they literary drug you for such purpose.

So what exactly makes an aphrodisiac? 

A weekend thought and a fact of life.

For many people in Mexico the weekend really begins on Thursday. Even if one needs to show up his/her face in the office on Friday, it is only out of good manners or obligation and lasts only till lunch time. And since today I will be saying good-bye to another amazing woman and a dear friend, here is a little thought to kick it off.  Enjoy your weekend :)

"Alcohol is a very necessary article ... It makes life bearable to millions of people who could not endure their existence if they were quite sober. It enables Parliament to do things at eleven at night that no sane person would do at eleven in the morning."

George Bernard Shaw

Refranes Gastronomicos Mexicanos

This post is for my Spanish speaking friends. Did you ever wonder how we create proverbs? There are some sayings that date way way back in history and never loose their magic touch. I love love love proverbs. They are so wise sometimes and a few of these will be the new additions to my ever growing use of the Mexican slang :) 

Food for Soul

This first post is the beginning of my journey to discover the living and breathing through all my senses. Since I was a little girl, I always wanted to travel the world and I would eat anything that came close enough so I could grab it and run to first analyze the strange object and of course try to taste it. Some pieces were better than others; however, this behavior opened my curiosity even more.

I was lucky that after the fall of the Berlin Wall my parents sent me off to study abroad. Little did they know that I would never come back to my nest in Poland. I caught the travel bug. So, of course I wanted to study hospitality and tourism and my parents thought I was smoking something strong in the West. No way, I finally ended up in finance. Do you see the problem here? I have nothing against finance personally and I'm pretty good at it but there is so much more to life than numbers and analyzing processes, do you agree?

So here I am, after fourteen years of studying and doing finance I have decided to dive into my passions and I want to share it with you. Through The World of Senses I will guide you through the best culinary travel destinations, curious foods of our precious planet, and simple pleasures of life that everyone should explore at one point or another. I will post videos and links that I think are both inspiring and educational. I want you to start living your senses.

Join me to the rollercoaster of life!
