I came across this photo of me the other day and I thought it would be the perfect picture to describe me in a nutshell. This also gives you guys a chance to get to know me a little better plus it's Thursday today so lets just throw in the whole ThrowbackThursday out there. It will come to no surprise to those of you who know me personally that I have always been a food lover. I was surrounded and grew up appreciating good food from the start; from Maltese cuisine, Italian cuisine - the vivid memories of making fresh pasta with my granddad, to eating delicious French cuisine every time I go to France and the home cooking and baking explorations on weekends with my mum, this is where my love just kept growing fondly and keeps growing to this day. Cooking has always been a passion of mine - but I enjoy preparing food perhaps slightly more than I enjoy eating it Heyoo what! Yep, you heard it it's a time in the day where I can let go and just unwind & an added bonus now is that i'm able to incorporate this into my personal space here on the internet - -  I feel so thankful that I get to share this part of me with you guys here on Live Elle!  

I'm amazed at how some things never change, it's good to look back at old photos and reflect. For one, no matter how many years have gone by my hairstyle somehow has sort of gone back to a very similar style (I'd like to think with more emphasis on the style today).. && funnily enough, although my fashion sense back then might have been a little crazier let's be honest I would never wear yellow in this day and age....

Today was my day off work and I spent the day in a similar spot to this photo -  cooking up a few things for you guys that will come up shortly ; so stay tuned!
