A Culinary Escape

There is nothing that is quite as enthralling as cooking outdoors, so to speak. The crisp atmosphere, the breathtaking Caribbean Sea scenery and the sounds of the wind all combine together to provide the best experience ever. At StolenTime, the cooking classes on the terrace became popular among the resort guests, and I too, became more than thrilled at the thought of taking my linen apron and rolling up my sleeves to get down to business.

I arrived at the class where I was greeted by a smiling face that belonged to our instructor, Chef Marcus. He had many cooking secrets to share but most importantly, the spoils of the island. In front of me, there was a healthy selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, seafood, and spices. Everything about the set-up was ‘real’ with products obtained from local farmers.

I could not have been more excited to explore Saint Lucia’s culinary delights. The featured item up for creation was a Farine and Avocado Tropical Salsa, which consisted of lots of spices and vibrant greens. And for a sweet end to it all, there was a well-known dessert made of coconut. That was delicious, and one just imagines it with such ease.

Before commencing, the chef took a pause to explain about the definition of cooking within StolenTime. It is about more than just preparing a meal: It is about looking around and noticing everything, taking time and being present with the food. This kind of attitude is so much in sync with the meaning of StolenTime which urges all of us to stop and take time for ourselves and others. The kitchen set-up, located on the terrace is also community-oriented in nature – it acts as an informal space resulting in good food and better company.

Once we began the cooking class, it became obvious that this was not merely the taking up of a class; it was much more than that. With Caribbean flavors, I mastered the art of trimming the vegetables and grilling it: “They are bold yet delicate with citrus and herbs.

But when the moment came, and we sat down to feast our eyes on all the goodies that we passionately created, it was not just food but an event. We shared a meal on the terrace, and every morsel we ate tasted more delicious than the last because the dish was made by us.

Should you be at StolenTime for some reason, make sure you do not let go of the chance to attend one of these cooking classes on the terrace. It’s more than enhancing your cooking abilities. It’s also getting immersed into the island and cherishing the little things.

New pretty things. ⚜️ The description of Stolen Time reminds me of that old Caroline B Cooney series about romance and time travel. Couple that with a cover like this and I’m sold. ⚜️ Playing with new lipstick today from @iliabeauty in Rosewood. It’s that rose brown that shade I own in multiple lines but can’t stay away from. Doing a wear test today. I’ll be back with a full report. ⚜️ It’s been a very productive writing day thus far and I’m rewarding myself by catching up on episodes from the Bachelor. I should be ashamed, but I’m not. ⚜️ What’s your guilty pleasure? ⚜️ #stolentime #daniellerollins #ilia #rosewood #bookdragon #booknerdigans #lovetoread #booksofinstagram #bookgram #bookishlove #fortheloveofbooks #becauseofreading #readersofinstagram #bookoftheday #bookstagramfeature #bookfeaturepage #lipstick #igbeauty #photooftheday #makeupjunkie #lipsticklove #beautycommunity #bookflatlay #slaytheflatlay #ireadya #discoverunder10k #literatureandlipstick #harperteen #epicreads https://www.instagram.com/p/BuFIzH2HC0H/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1y0rw9e949uzd

Estoy leyendo Estrella oscura de @vegarollins y tengo que deciros que está siendo una lectura de lo más divertida y entretenida. Mezcla un poco de viajes en el tiempo con un poco de intriga y con una estafadora a la fuga 🤗 Por si no lo sabíais la autora ya tiene otro libro publicado en España el año pasado: Crueles, pero con el nombre de Danielle Vega (una historia de terror que me gustó mucho). Voy a seguir viajando! 😂 • 🌹🌹🌹💐💐🌹🌹🌹 • #instalibro #instabook #instagramers #igreads #instadaily #bookstagram #books #bookblogger #bookstagrammer #bookphotography #libros #booklover #bookish #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookworm #booknerd #bookishfeature #bookaddiction #bookstagramespaña #TW #lecturadirecta #estrellaoscura #stolentime #darkstars https://www.instagram.com/p/ByD6OyTi14B/?igshid=1mv9twp6xvftu

 A Carnival Recovery Routine

First off, rest is crucial. Carnival days and nights are lined up with non-stop dancing, parades, and merriment. After which, your body needs time to recover from physical exertion as well as lack of sleep associated with the intense revelry. Take a few days off to catch up on sleep. Your recovery can be enhanced greatly by a comfortable bed in a dark room where you can get some uninterrupted rest. If you are staying on longer in St Lucia consider booking yourself into a tranquil resort like StolenTime in quieter parts of the island so you can take advantage of serene environments without being distracted by events that may still be going on around.

Nourishing your body with healthy food is critical. After days of indulging in unhealthy eating patterns, it’s common for one to crave a more nutritious meal. With that urge, concentrate on having meals rich in fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains coupled with lean. St. Lucia offers plenty of fresh produce so make sure you take advantage of local markets packed with tropical fruits like bananas, papayas, mangoes, etc. which can give you a natural boost.

Equally important is taking time for self-care. You might want to soothe your mind and soul after all that Carnival glamor. There are many resorts and spas in St.Lucia hotels that have treatments designed specifically to help you relax and rejuvenate your mind.  Massage therapy helps relieve muscle tension while facials can refresh skin after several days of makeup application, coupled with the harsh effects of prolonged sun exposure. A little pampering can come a long way towards restoring your overall well-being. Do not underestimate how far these restorative treatments go!

Mental recovery is as important as physical recuperation. Carnival is a season of emotional highs and once it comes to an end it is normal to be disappointed as one goes back to the realities of their everyday life. One can write journals or design a picture album comprising their best moments to reflect on what they experienced. Also, undertaking mindfulness practices like meditation and deep breathing techniques can help restore your peace of mind as well as clear thinking to get you back on track for everyday living.

Lastly, a stay at a resort. StolenTime offers a perfect retreat where you can escape the residual hustle and bustle of the festivities. The serene atmosphere, coupled with relaxing accommodations and attentive service, provides an ideal environment to rest your weary body and refresh your spirit. With its array of wellness treatments, nourishing cuisine, and opportunities for gentle outdoor activities, StolenTime ensures a holistic recovery experience. Here, you can embrace relaxation and reflection, allowing you to savor the vibrant memories of Carnival while restoring your energy and well-being.

💭If you could #timetravel would you? . It’s not personally something I would care to do. While I enjoy historical fiction, I wouldn’t care to live it. As for future times, I feel like more trouble comes from seeing that than good in books and movies. It just all seems very stressful. 😂 BUT I do enjoy books about them! . #StolenTime by @vegarollins was released from @epicreads in February. This one is definitely high on my #tbr and I’m obsessed with its cover and #titlepage . 😍 . Summary: Seattle, 1913 // Dorothy is trapped. Forced into an engagement to a wealthy man just so she and her mother can live comfortably for the rest of their days, she’ll do anything to escape. Including sneaking away from her wedding and bolting into the woods to disappear. New Seattle, 2077 // Ash is on a mission. Rescue the professor—his mentor who figured out the secret to time travel—so together they can put things right in their devastated city. But searching for one man means endless jumps through time with no guarantee of success. When Dorothy collides with Ash, she sees it as her chance to start fresh—she’ll stow away in his plane and begin a new life wherever they land. Then she wakes up in a future that’s been ripped apart by earthquakes and floods; where vicious gangs rule the submerged city streets and a small group of intrepid travelers from across time are fighting against the odds to return things to normal. What Dorothy doesn’t know is that she could hold the key to unraveling the past—and her arrival may spell Ash’s ultimate destruction. . . . #epicreads #goodreads #youngadultbooks #openbook #booksaremyfriends #readingmakesmehappy #ilovemybooks #beautifulbookcovers #booklover #bookpage #booksofinstagram #thebookstagram #bookstagrammers #hygge #readersofinsta #lovetoread #bookaesthetic #ofquietmoments #booknookstagram #lifestyle https://www.instagram.com/p/BwIO5KkhlYO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=335hlj0c9t1k
