I'm in love with coffee!

I want to share with you one more thing I tried and really loved.
A friend of mine brought me Brazilian Coffee Beans Shower cream from Moscow.
We don't have Yves Rocher shops here in Israel. So I'm ordering it online since then.
This one smells like fresh morning coffee. It is perfect for morning shower. Makes me feel more awake, I would eat it if I could :) What is also cool about it that it is unisex, can be good both for men and women, and also kids. The texture is creamy and rich, and I leaves a light scent of morning coffee on your skin.
So for those of you who still didn't try it, please, do!

Quinoa & Beet Salad

Speaking about healthy food and self-perfection, here's one of the recently discovered recipes I really like - Quinoa & Beet Salad. Super easy to make, super-tasty to eat :)

Ingredients:
1-2 beets,
1 cup  quinoa
2 cups water
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons of salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 green onions, sliced
feta cheese, crumbled

Directions:
Place beets in a large saucepan; cover with cold water (by about an inch). Add 1 teaspoon salt; bring to a simmer. Cook until beets are tender when pierced with a paring knife, 35-45 minutes. Drain; cover with cold water. Let sit until cool enough to handle. Peel and cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
Or you can just cook beets in steamer.

Place quinoa in medium saucepan; add water. Bring to a boil on high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, partially covered, for 10 to 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed.

Combine cooled quinoa, sliced beet, green onion, feta cheese, lemon juice,olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Drizzle with vinaigrette and toss gently to combine. Add beet and gently toss.

And there you are! A tasty and healthy salad is ready.
