Things that make me smile

1

You know I love beautiful things and I do not think that makes me a bad person. Especially when you are having a bad day these things can make me feel better as you feel better about yourself. Every time when I am down it can be that gorgeous perfume or red lipstick that triggers smile on your face again. And here are some of the things that I just love at the moment. And the Valentino bag? That just speaks for itself right?

Vite, ze mam rada pekne veci a nemyslim si, ze me to cini povrchni ci zlou osobou. Obzvlast kdyz mam treba den blbec tak jsou to tyhle veci, ktere mi opet dokazi vykouzlit usmev na rtu. Muze to byt vune hezkeho parfemu nebo se upravit a natrit rty cervenou rtenkou. A tak jsem vybrala par veci, ktere mam opravdu rada a mam z nich pokazde radost. A ta Valentino kabelka? Ta myslim, ze mluvi sama za sebe.

M&S Style Evolution/Interview and a new job

2 Last month I was working on a very exciting project. People that follow me on snapchat (evaglamazon) probably know what is going on however for the rest of you I was working on a very exciting project with M&S. I had an amazing day full of fun and met some great people. I got to spend a full day with M&S Pr team and other fashion and life style bloggers Catherine, Kate, Natalie, Rachel and Amanda. It was definitely a fantastic day full of filming, styling, talking and even food. Yes, you know every blogger event or collaboration has got something tasty to offer. Not just on a clothes rack!

We all met at Marble Arch Marks & Spencer Flagship store to talk about important milestones in our lives and how it influences our wardrobe and style. Each blogger had a different milestone as I work in recruitment my one was an interview, first job and corporate wear. That is what I talk a lot on my blog right? We picked key pieces from the latest collection and styled them for a video and photoshoot. I think it is very important to nail your first day at work or your interview. You only have got one first impression. And the latest collection had so much to offer I was amazed how much choice it offers for a working girl.

The result is incredible and I must say all of us did a great job (Well done girls). You can see for yourself here on M&S website. And you should definitely watch the video for some more inspiration. Are you getting married, are you dating again? You will not be disappointed.

If you are struggling now with your work wardrobe or you have that first interview ahead. Do not worry it is not that difficult and the choice is there.  And remember if you want to make sure you are safe – two matching piece suit is the way forward.

Thank you for reading and thank you M&S team and everybody for a wonderful day.

Minuly mesic jsem spolupracovala na uzasnem projektu. Popravde, kdyz mi tento email pristal v inboxu tak jsem jasala radosti jako mala. Pokud me sledujete na snapchatu (evaglamazon), tak asi vite, ze se jednalo o projekt s M&S. Uzila jsem krasny den prace, nataceni, ale take zabavy a poznala skvele blogerky Catherine, Kate, Natalie, Rachel a Amandu. Na Londyne me vzdy fascinuje, kolik zen a kolik vekovych kategorii se blogem zivi. Myslim, ze jsem byla jedna ze dvou blogerek, ktera ma stale porad druhou praci. Hehe.

Cely projekt byl o tom, jak se meni styl behem ruznych vyznamych zivotnich udalosti a to od svatby, pres rodicovstvi az po randeni po ctyrictce. Ja jsem dostala a to snad neni zadne prekvapeni jak se obleci na pohovor ci prvni den v praci. Jelikoz stejne presentuji to v cem chodim do prace, tak to pro me naprosto prirozene.

Cely den jsme nataceli, vybirali kousky z nejnovejsi kolekce a probirali dana temata. Vysledek muzete najit tady na strankach M&S. Ja jsem si den hrozne uzila. 

Myslim, ze pohovor, ci prvni prace je opravdu jeden z dulezitych momentu, ale nemusite se bat, protoze to neni az tak slozite a pokud opravdu stradate, tak staci kostym a dobre boty a mate jistotu.

Doufam, ze se vam video libi a vubec cely projekt.

One month bikini challenge

1
Few years ago if I decided to lose few pounds I would just do it with few days of sensible diet and bit of workout. The older you get the harder it is. Those small things that used to work are just not effective enough.

I asked you few days ago on my snapchat (evaglamazon) if you would be interested to read about my one month eating and fitness plan and lot of you said yes.
As I have a month until my holidays in Sicily I decided to be very good this month and do as much as I can do to get a bikini body. Well, I don’t believe in miracles but I think you can still achieve some results in 4 weeks. However, even if you do not end up looking like a Victoria Secret Angel the sense of the achievement that you managed to do it is great.

This will be harder for English speakers as you will not be able to follow my eating program which is based on a book written in Czech. However, I can tell you it is a 28 days detox of your body and it is all about eating clean. This plan will help you get rid of the acids in your body and also clean your body. The recipes are all picked and created in the way that you are never hungry (which is true I have already done this once) and you can eat a lot. It is more about what you have on a plate. Part of the book is also eating tips for different blood types which is one of the most interesting things. I am a blood type 0 and there are things I love I should not eat but I know I cannot get rid of them. One of them is coffee. I should not drink it at all during this detox but I just have to keep it. (I am drinking one right now…the only thing is that I drink Soya milk instead).

I went through this detox once already and it does work although I had to cheat a bit due to a wedding weekend. Make sure you do not have many social activities or holidays as this requires lot of cooking ahead (I have few this month but other than that I will focus). You must drink lot of water ideally warm water with lemon. I start my morning with a hot water with lemon and then follow up with a Chlorophyll which I add to a glass of water.

If you want to try other books or cooking books on a similar basis I am sure there is a lot in the market. I just cannot say at this point if it works or not. But I can swear on this detox by Antonia Mancingova. My mum lost so much weight and she dropped almost two sizes in three months. She is now at the stage where she eats what she wants at the weekend and eats clean during the week. And plus her hair and skin improved extremely because she is giving her body the right things that are full of nutritions.

I always take pictures before and after in my bikini or underwear and try to do the same. Of course you achieve more if you workout as well. As for me I am quite active person but I want to make I will really focus this month so I want to do something at least 5 days a week. I do running and also  workout at home. This week I have done 3 times old school workout with Cindy Crawford and 15 minutes pilates and I want to do 5 K run this weekend with some strength exercise. There are lot of videos on youtube. It does not cost you anything so it is just about your decision. You have to decide and do it. If you want to take it to the next level get some good anti-cellulite cream and some food supplements.

So you are more then welcome to join me on this bikini challenge and if you feel it is too much why don’t you try perhaps just 30 days squat challenge or something less intense.

So good luck and don’t give up.

Pred par dny jsem se vas na snapchatu ptala, zda mate zajem si precist o me one month bikini challenge a odezva byla pozitivni. Vim, ze za mesic se toho neda moc zachranit, ale myslim, ze mesicni procisteni tela a pohyb telu jenom prospeje. Za mesic me ceka dovolena na Sicilii a tak jsem se rozhodla,ze mesic pred dovolenou si dam ocistu a budu co nejvice cvicit. Kazde rano zacinam sklenici teple vody s citronem a piju Chlorophyll a to me pekne procisti telo a postavi na nohy. Co se tyce jidla, to uz je dalsi otazka.

Tento zazrak uz jsem jednou vyzkousela a opravdu funguje a to jsem musela tento 28 denni detox porusit diky svatbe ve Spanelsku, ale i presto jsem zhubla, upravila si plet, zlepsila vlasy a citila se vyborne. Nevim, zda nekdo vas uz prosel ocistou od Antonie Mancingove, ale je opravdu vyborna a muzu za sebe i za svou maminku rict, ze funguje. Za celou dobu nemate hlad a ani nejake zavratne chute na sladke. Muzete jit do sytosti a cela skladba jidel je zalozena vlastne na bazi clean eating. V jedne casti teto knihy Antonia take rozebira stravu pro ruzne krevni skupiny, coz se ted snazim brat v potaz i kdyz detox nedrzim. 

Samozrejme i tohle stravovani ma svoje nevyhody. Ja nemam vecne cas a tak pripravovani muze byt docela narocne. Dalsi nevyhodou je, ze kvuli tomuto nemuzu odmitnou treba obed s klientem, kde si musim vybrat z menu restaurace, nemuzu tam sedet a pit vodu, ze? Ale pokusim se tento mesic vyhnout vsemu spatnemu, nepit alkohol a dodrzovat detox co nejvice to pujde. Ja treba nesmim pit ani kavu, ale tu si proste nedokazu odpustit a tak jsem alespon zacala pit kavu se sojovym mlekem. Kdyz detox dodrzite, urcite uvidite vysledky. Moje maminka zhubla za 3 mesice temer dve velikosti a vylepsily se vlasy, ktere mela hodne ponicene. Ted uz si vahu udrzuje tim, ze ji clean food v tydnu a o vikendu si da co chce. Doporucuji vam si knihu poradne procist a pak se do detoxu pustit. Kniha obsahuje recepty i jidelnicek. Pripravte se, ze budete jist hodne zeleniny a hodne cervene repy. Ale o tom si muzete precist vy samy.

Samozrejme, ze soucasti me one month bikini challenge je i cviceni. Prestoze mam hodne nabity diar, tak se pokusim se hybat 5 dni v tydnu. Vetsinou chodim behat nebo cvicim doma. Tento tyden jsem zvladla uz trikrat cviceni se Cindy Crawford. To je stare, ale osvedcene. A taky jsem zaradila do treninku 15 minut pilates. Ted o vikendu si pujdu zabehat a pridam treba yogu nebo pilates. Myslim, ze zalezi na vas, co zaradite do sveho fitness programu, ale zkuste treba Cindy nebo Jillian Michaels. Oba workouty mam vyzkousene a opravdu pomahaji. 

Takze kdo se chce pridat ke me muze…ja uz zitra koncim prvni tyden a citim se vyborne. Tesim se na pondeli, kdy jidelnicek zacina byt trochu pestrejsi. 

A pokud se vam tohle zda moc, tak si treba dejte mesicni squat challenge. 

Let’s Do it.

Tip of the week … Hix Oyster & Chop House

6
Last weekend was all about great food and great company. I felt like a social busy bee with a diary full of meetings, lunches and dinners. However one of the evenings really stood out. My friends Helena and Lorcan picked this outstanding restaurant in Farringdon called Hix Oyster & Chop House. I must give them a big medal for picking this fabulous spot. It is a great choice for two czirish (Czech and Irish) couples like us. We both like good piece of steak.

The restaurant has got traditional deco with crispy white tablecloths that really compliment their predominantly meat menu. You can order selection of meats, chops but also delicious oysters. We all wanted to try as much as possible so we ordered lot of sharing sets and although it may sound a lot I ate steak tartare (that had really nice spicy kick to it), steak, chops, lobster and finished the evening with cherry pie with ripple ice cream.  Although I am not that much into dessert this one was super delicious. And bit of sweetness is always needed after such a meat feast. The chops were definitely the best out of everything (so perhaps our next order).

And I could not resist and had to take picture of that Eva wine. And trust me I did not pick that on purpose at all!

I would give this restaurant 4,5 stars out of 5. And everybody felt the same. So I guess that means we are all coming back.

Minuly vikend byl hodne o jidle a dobre spolecnosti. Pripadala jsem si, ze trochu nestiham se svym nabity diarem plny veceri a obedu. Ale jeden z veceru se opravdu povedl. Nasi kamaradi Helena a Lorcan vybrali tuhle vytecnou restauraci ve ctvrti Farringdom a ti kteri maji radi steaky a maso tak ji urcite oceni. Hix Oyster & Chop House ma bohate menu a najdete v nem vse mozne od steaku az po humra. 

Restaurace ma velmi tradicni decor, ale myslim, ze na tento styl restaurace se to hodi. Klasicke bile ubrusy a jednoduchy styl nemaji co pokazit a vzdy tak nejak davaji typickym steak housum ten spravny nadech. I kdyz se to bude zdat hodne …. tim ze jsme objednali ruzna jidla pro vsechny ctyri jsem mohla vyzkouset opravdu hodne z jejich nabidky…od tataraku, pres humra az po ruzne steaky. A silene mi chutnal jejich spenat. Servis byl taky vyborny a strasne jsem si to uzila, myslim, ze to byly skvele stravene tri hodiny. 

A nemohla jsem odolat a musela jsem vam vyfotit to Eva vino. A opravdu se priznavam, ze to byla uplna nahoda.
