My birthday
Last Saturday 7.12 was my birthday, I'm turning into 26. Feeling old already! This year, I made a small party and invited some close friends to celebrate with.
Some handsome sushi, mango passion fruit cheesecake.
I received the Elie Saab perfume as a gift, Le parfum Eau de parfum intense, my favourite scent. The scent of orange blossom and rose honey which make it ultra sensual and feminine & Elie Saab body lotion. How much I love these smells.
One early morning when I came to school, a friend handed me a gift, the Elizabeth Arden with green tea refreshing body lotion and the other gave Fedora hat in summer. Thank you very much, I don't need big party to be happy.

Strawberry Cheesecake Parfaits
I made these parfaits almost 2 years ago, felt a bit strange to make this post today. Anyway, this is a pleasant dessert and very easy to make so I think it's good to share. Recipe is adapted from my favourite blog with step by step instructions.
Ingredients
1 pound (500 gr) of strawberries
2 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 cup (100 gr) butter biscuits
2 tablespoons melted butter
12 ounces (360gr) cream cheese
1/2 cup (125ml) sour cream
2/3 cup (90gr) confectioners' sugar
1 cup (250ml) whipping cream
1 teaspoon almond extract
- Crush the biscuits finely
- Mix the crumbs with one tablespoon sugar, and 2 tablespoons melted butter.
- In the bowl of your electric mixer, mix the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar and almond extract. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Using a spatula, gently fold the cream cheese mixture with the whipped cream just until combined.
- Slice the strawberries into a larger bowl, sprinkle them with a tablespoon of sugar and toss them around the bowl a little.
- Then we are going to need four glasses.
- Place about a tablespoon of the crumbs in the bottom of your glasses.
- Then layer some of the cheesecake filling, then add some strawberries and repeat this procedure once more. Refrigerate for about 1-2 hours before serving
