Today I met my new best friend: the fuelbandSE AND I met my first goal of 3900 fuel, on a normal, non workout day! I am going to have so much fun testing this… Thanks a million to #nikefrance team for an amazing launch and allowing me to discover this amazing technology.
Ok, so usually I’m against the whole idea of creating substitute foods, fake dishes that are supposed to resemble the original in a “guilt free” version. This is mainly because it’s really hard to rethink your whole diet and stick to a life changing new food plan while still concentrating on those foods ( cookies, pizzas, brownies …) that you need to completely eliminate from your diet !
So, lets not think of this recipe as a “healthy version” of a cookie, but rather as a delicious treat that you can make using no butter, no sugar, no oil and no flour. It’s a super easy and fast recipe with pretty surprising result - the consistency is neither too dense, nor too cakey.
Je suis généralement contre toute la mouvance à créer des recettes de “substituts” sains et “sans culpabilité” de plats qui sont à l'origine pas sain du tout. Pour moi, cela rend plus difficile le changement complet de ses habitudes alimentaires, car on persiste à se concentrer sur des plats qui devraient normalement ne plus du tout faire partie de sa panoplie alimentaire ( pizza, gâteaux etc). N'appelons donc pas cette recette “la version healthy du cookie”, mais plutôt une douceur sucrée délicieuse riche en protéines, sans beurre, sucre, huile, ni farine.
C'est une recette ultra simple et rapide à réaliser avec un résultat très surprenant ! La consistance du Cookie est vraiment réussie, ni trop dense, ni trop sec.
Tous les ingrédients peuvent êtres trouvés chez BIO-MOI rue Debelleyme à Paris, ou dans le plupart des boutiques des chaînes Naturalia, La Vie Claire …

Les fans de chocolat aiment toujours rappeler aux autres que le chocolat n'est pas si mauvais, car il constitue une bonne source de magnésium.
La vérité est que - et c'est pareil pour tout aliment bourré de nutriments - que les procédés de transformation pour que la petite graine que vous voyez au dessus, devient une barre Milka - arrivent très bien à lui enlever toutes ses vertus nutritifs.
Cependant, la fève de Cacao, riche en composants aux actions exceptionnelles, est un aliment d’un très grand intérêt diététique pouvant avoir une action bénéfique sur la santé ; surtout un rôle préventif, parce qu'il contient à peu près un milliard de vitamines et minéraux :
En termes de goût c'est incroyable - et en toute sincérité, depuis que je mange des fèves de Cacao, je n'ai pas eu le moindre envie de “mauvais” chocolat… Disons, que c'est comme si tu mangeais du chocolat 90%, en forme d'amande. C'est amer, et très, très chocolaté. Du coup, il faut vraiment être très motivé pour partir en mode “je mange tout sac” ( comme il m'arrivait relativement souvent avant avec une plaquette de Crunch).
La qualité et les prix varient selon la source, mais je recommande :
Force Ulta Bio - Gamme Crubio ( 6.50 pour 250 g)
Sol Semilla (10.50 pour un sac de 250 g)

You should get to know Rejjie Snow.
Here’s me doing my debut as an unexpected hip-hop honey in Irish rapper Rejjie Snow’s latest video. The track, “Snow (My Rap Song),” is taken from the Dublin rapper’s massive EP Rejovich and the video was directed by Jamie Delaney, who was also the man behind Rejjie’s last video, “Lost in Empathy.”
He’s got all kinds of motivation and talent and I think he’s going to take his rap game way beyond Dublin.
A month of August stuck in empty Paris is always made better with Arthur King’s annual SUMMER MIX.
Visit King’s Soundcloud to listen to the 2013 edition, which is notably mellower than previous years, but includes some of my favorite big hits from A$ap Rocky, Kendrick Lamar, Dirty Money, and Franck Ocean.
Arthur is an incredibly talented graphic designer and artistic director, however the SUMMER 2013 album artwork comes from Jordy van den Nieuwendijk, who has been gaining a lot of interest recently for his smooth, colorful and linear illustrations.
I was extremely lucky to be in San Francisco on June 29th-30th during this year’s pride weekend and it was a fabulous occasion for photos and people watching.
All of these photos were taken with a Canon PowerShot S110 that I’ve been testing. I didn’t expect much from this compact camera - the problem with these is that I can’t help associate their small and lightness with poor quality, however it’s really a great and full package with 12.1 megapixels / WiFi connectivity and great HD video.
I recently took a little weekend trip up the Normandy coast to Honfleur. Bizarrely enough, this miniature town located on the southern bank of the estuary of the Seine across from le Havre is the third most visited location in France - mainly because the impressionists would come here to paint the tiny marina -and of course we know how much tourists love the impressionists-. The town is cute in every way possible, if you don’t mind hoards of English retirees shuffling around from one mediocre prix fixe seafood restaurant to the next, and obstructing your view and mobility.
The beach, overlooking the industrial port of Le Havre, isn’t quite reassuring for going swimming, but it was a great spot to run. I did manage to permanently ruin my brand new worn-once Flyknits but it was worth it.
I also got really lucky on an adorable and super well decorated AirBnB cottage in the center of town.
