Aquacity!

I took Aria to Aquacity yesterday. It was a day trip with my son. A huge waterpark filled with fun for kids and families, in the city we live, Izmir.

  There is also a Thermal Hotel and its Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Center is one of Turkey's and Europe’s most important Thermal Hotel and Treatment Center with its two hundred personnel, hygiene, architecture, naturalistic settlement and treatment capacity that provides international standards. It also has the characteristics of social activity, sports and treatment units.

We spent all day in Aquacity..Food was good too! Let's take a look at  this amazing place!

The best part for me was tanning with the big pillows on the grass! 

Enjoyed a couple of slides with Aria..Not really my thing but it was OK :)

A look from the top of  one of the open slides just before Aria slided.

I tried to catch him sliding but it is not easy..lol!!!

We took a ferry back to home..Taking shots of  Aegean Sea was amazing. I almost forgot how tired I was.

Oh, I just got those flip flops and loving them :) 

Happy 4th of July!!!

First days of 2014!

First days of a pretty new year! Hope you all had a wonderful time New Year's Eve. I was away from mom for years and this year I enjoyed being together with her, just like last year.
God bless her!
I think we ate too much that night :) A couple of sodas helped to feel better next day.

Best wishes to y'all for 2014!

My son is getting very good at catching beauty of nature! Another fantastic shot taken in November from Aria's Instagram collection :) Ohh..we appreciate new followers :) 
Thank you ladies!!

It has been a while since I made it. This recipe is for eggplant lovers!. Easy and tasty!

A quick and easy eggplant recipe!

Eggplant with Lemon

2 eggplants (I peel them in stripes that's how I learned from my mom and I love it:)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 onion(crushed)
1 cup hot water
2 cloves garlic(minced)
2 tbsp crushed tomatoes 

  salt and pepper   

  fresh lemon juice

 I like taking food pictures as much as cooking!

Sometimes eggplant is bitter and should be soaked in salted water before cooking.
Let drain about 30 minutes.
 

Cut eggplants into slices as you want. Put olive oil, chopped onion into a deep saucepan and stir 2-3 minutes. Add chopped garlic and keep stiring 1-2 minutes more. Put eggplant slices and a few minutes later add crushed tomatoes. Cook stiring 3-4 minutes and add hot water, salt, pepper. Cover the lid, keep it on low heat till eggplant is very tender.
Sprinkle with lemon juice. Serve warm and enjoy taste of eggplant !
 

Also it is delicious with turkish famous garlic-yogurt sauce with mint :)

                  Life is delicious :)

                 There are so many beauties in life!

Ladies! I'm taking you shopping with me:))

This city is hot! I'm trying not to tan more lately. As long as the AC is on, I enjoy trying on some new tops and I like seeing if clothes in my closet fit me:)

By the way, I'll share Damart's website with you guys. If you like online shopping like me,
Damart offers up to %70 off in their summer sale right now. Take a look at ladieswear on their site and especially check out the large range of beautiful and comfortable underwear to suit all shapes and sizes. The ladies underwear collection at Damart has pure cotton as well as traditional lingerie and a variety of hosiery.

I like that print skirt. A great color combination for summer!

I also just took a look at their sandals. They have a flexible sole and are comfortable! Here is the one that caught my eye. Ghillie Sandal! Elegant lace-up sandal with teardrop detailing to the leather upper. If you're looking for comfort, check out their sandals!

What is your favorite color for your bedroom? In the last couple of years, I have wanted to turn my bedroom lilac. But somehow, couldn't get around to it. Hopefully, this is something I can change in the next couple of years:)) This color defines "sweet dreams."

Actually, it says one more thing to me; 'Don't give up with your dreams!!!'

The opinions I have expressed are mine.
