Today we launched a new cosmetic line with invigorating and aphrodisiac properties,called The Cat is Naughty!Yay!https://www.facebook.com/thecatisorganic?ref=hl

Our first brand-new product was named "She´s so sexy".Its a sexy Body Lotion and Scrub made with very HOT natural&organic ingredients like sugar,cinnamon and Ylang Ylang!Yummy!

An aphrodisiac is a substance that increases sexual desire.The name comes from Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of sexuality and love. Throughout history, many foods, drinks, and behaviors have had a reputation for making sex more attainable and/or pleasurable but thats not all!This substances ,including essential oils such as Vannila and Cinnamon may also help with one or more of the following:

1.Reduce stress

2.Calm Anxiety

3.Energize the body and the mind

4.Uplift the mood

5.Ease depression

6.Apeals to the senses

Amazing isnt?We hope you enjoy it!

Because its (still) Sunday!

Hidden inside a #banana box there's always a...#carrot :-P

handmade in Spain with love by Caprichos de Estilo!

Check the collection here https://www.facebook.com/pages/Caprichos-de-Estilo/580653688623697?fref=ts

I invited Cristina Aznar, the "fairy hand" behind this magnific collection and the cool Fashion Blog www.mistylobycris.com, to a small interview!Here it goes:

1.Cristina,  cuando y por qué creaste tu  blog de moda?

When and why did you start your fashion blog?

R: Siempre me ha gustado leer blogs de todo tipo;  moda,belleza,cocina,viajes...y hace dos años decidí crear el mío. En Mistylobycris hablo de todo, no sólo de moda. En él puedes encontrar recomendaciones de belleza, recetas de cocina, viajes,decoración...Mi estilo de vida y mis gustos en general!

A:I always liked to read blogs of all the kind: Fashion,Beauty,Cooking,Traveling etc.so, two years ago, i decided to create my own blog!
In Mistylobycris  i make post about everything,not only fashion!There you can find recommendations/suggestions about beauty,cooking,traveling,decoration,..my lifestyle and all the things i like in general!

2.Que te inspira?

What inspire you?

R: Me inspiran muchas cosas, sobretodo las revistas de moda. Todos los meses compro 3 o 4 , las miro y remiro y recorto fotos que me inspiran para crear mis looks. También me inpiran muchos blogs o incluso la inspiración sale por mi misma. Hay días que me levanto inspirada sin más ;)

A:Many things inspire me,but mainly fashion magazines.Every month i buy about 3 or 4,i look at them,read and re-read them and collect images that inspire me to create my own looks.Blogs are also  a great source of inspiration,But, Iinspiration sometimes also comes by itself!I always wake up pretty inspired!;)

3.También tines una linea de acessorios, muy colorida e ethnica,Los Caprichos de Estilo, quando  y por qué  empezaste a hacer esses belos collares y turbantes tan originales (que “el gato orgânico” es un grande fan)?

Beside  the fashion blog you also hold a line of beautiful &original ethnic acessories,Caprichos de Estilo, when and why did you start doing your own fashion acessories ?

R: Si, hace sólo dos meses decidí crear mi propia línea de accesorios. Llevo muy poquito y está funcionando de maravilla. Siempre me ha gustado crear mis propios complementos y un día mostré uno de mis collares en el blog y gustó tanto que decidí venderlos. Son perfectos para alegrar la vida!

A:I started my own acessories line only two months ago. The pieces are quite cheap and its going wonderfully!I always enjoyed to create my own acessories.One day i posted some images of my handmade necklaces and it was such a success that i decided to start seeling them!They are perfect to cheer up your life!

4.Frida Khalo es una inspiración muy clara para tu linea,que mas te inpira par tu creaciones?

It ´s quite clear that Frida Khalo is a great inspiration for your line, what else inpire you to create your pieces?

R: Frida Khalo, para mi es siempre una inspiración, muchas de mis creaciones las hago pensando en ella. Pero siempre me ha encantado todo lo hippy,colorido,alegre,divertido y creo que mis diseños reflejan claramente todo eso. El estilo étnico me gusta mucho y si además un accesorio puede transmitir alegría y originalidad  creo que es perfecto.

A:Frida Khalo has always been an inspiration for me, i design many of my creations thinking of her.But, i also always have been a lover of the Hippy/Boho, colorful, funny style.

I think that my pieces reflect this inspirations quite well!Small acessories can easily spice up the whole figure!

5.Y finalmente, tienes algunos secretos de beleza que nos quieras compartir?;)

And finally,do you have any beauty secret you want to reveal to  us?;)

R: Secretos de belleza no tengo muchos!;) Sigo una rutina desde hace tiempo: Siempre limpio e hidrato la cara por la mañana y por la noche ( mis marcas Germanine de Capuccini y kiehl`s) Bebo mucha agua , no tomo leche y siempre riego las comidas con germen de trigo, lecitina de soja o semillas de lino. 

En cuanto pruebe los cosméticos de ” El Gato orgánico” os cuento !;)

A:Beauty secrets i haven´t much!;) but i keep the following daily beauty routine: i always wash my face and moisturize my skin every morning& night (my favorite brands are Germaine de Capucci and Kiehl´s).I always drink a lot of water,i dont drink milk and eat a lot of food with Wheat Germ, Soya Lecthin and Flax Seeds.

Sleep Disorders

Did you know that accordingly to the National Sleep Foundation,Sleep Disorders affects milions of people?

As for me, i only have disorders to wake up...it could be called something like  "The Morning Wake Up Disorder" :D

I live close to a very-very busy highway,with a medium of  77dB´s,(really high noise levels for a residential area...above 90 dB´s it can be considered as dangerous!) and that,really does upset me (especially on football match days like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRDnhHqP7KY...Christ)

Daytime noise levels around Lisbon city

Nocturne noise levels around Lisbon city

So, sometimes i have to call upon this:

1.The Cat is Organic "Reyjkavik" Lavender Body Scrub

2.The Cat is Organic "La La La Bath" Lavender Body Salts

3.The Cat is Organic "Purple Wonder" Lavender Face&Body Solid Moisturizer

4.Sennheiser Headphones

5.Sleeping Mask

6.The Cat is Organic "Sleeping Beauty" Lavender Aromatherapy Essence

7.The Cat is Organic "Sweet Dreams are made of this" Lavender,Chamomile and Valeriana Relax Tea 

For you to  have an ideia of common sounds Noise levels: 

120 dB: Aircraft taking off
110 dB: Loud Rock Music
100 dB: Semi Truck (short term hazard)
90 dB: Jack Hammer
80 dB: Traffic (ocupational limit)
70 dB: Conversation 
60 dB: Background office noise
50 dB: Windmill
30 dB: Quiet bedroom
10 dB: Threshold of hearing

This can also be called Noise Pollution,a scientific&psychological subject that pasisonates me really (ive started a blog about this subject,but it ended up floating in the web,you can  check it though http://jardinsonoros.tumblr.com )

The negative side effects of Noise Polluition are incredilble! They  can cause:

1.Hearing Impairment:  

2.Interference with Spoken Communication

3.The Sleep Disturbances we were talking about

4.Cardiovascular Disturbances (thats right!)

5.Disturbances in Mental Health (Thats´s right!!)

6,Impaired Task Performance

7.Negative Social Behavior and Annoyance Reaction

yikes!Had you ever thought about this?

Our delicious Herbal TheCatisOrganic tea also comes along with some inspirational quotes!

Men Shirt Upcycling

I have this lovely HM shirt for ages now...it doesnt really look good on me but its so cute with its small white&black cats that i cant seem to get rid of it...

so i decided to upcycle it and turn in into something more...wearable.

What will you need:Men’s shirt&Fabric scissors

What to do:Cut off arms, collar and excess bottom (make sure not to cut off the binding of where the sleeve meets the body of the shirt).
Hem all raw ends except for the sleeve ends as there will be binding already there.

And that ´s it!:)
