The power of your passion

“I believe it is important for everyone to find something they are passionate about. For me, it is team sports. When I was younger I became a synchronized swimmer. It taught me about teamwork, dedication, friendship, sacrifice, expression and probably every good quality that makes me who I am. I just loved the water and always felt safe there. If I had a bad day at school, or when my boyfriend broke up with me, or when my cat died, or when I was feeling stressed out, as soon as I jumped into that pool all those problems seemed to disappear. It was my outlet. I didn’t realize how important a role it played in my life until I stopped swimming when I was 18.

Summer Cake ( three milks cake)

Milk lovers unite!

This is absolutely undeniably delicious cake, soaked with a milky mixture. I have tried to make it with butter before, but I find that butter makes it soggy and heavy. When butter is not used, the cake is super light and fluffy, with many air bubbles. My friends and family loved this cake 🙂
