Cosmopolitan Perú

Did you know that Peru has its very own Cosmopolitan since Augst this year? With a focuss slightly different than the Dutch Cosmopolitan we very much enjoyed reading the Cosmo here . And soon we discovered the Peruvian reader very much likes to read about... Sex! From 50 ways to touch him there to how to combine yoga and sex, becoming a sex detective and how to seduce him with aroma? And on a  good second  place comes relationships...

Inti Originals and quality

Did you know that in order to ensure great quality, Inti Originals has 3 quality checks? Here is how we make sure your product is of great quality...

1. Quality check by the CITE in Peru
The CITE is a coorporative organization in Catacaos that ensures the quality of all jewelry made by artists in the Catacaos artwork society. In the CITE engineers and artists work together to check both the silver quality and the technical work of the jewelry such as locks, chains, connections, etc.. All Inti Originals products go to the CITE quality check after which the CITE give the jewelry a silver batch to protect the jewelry against damage and chemicals. If you want to read more about the CITE check: http://www.citecatacaos.com/ (in English and Spanish).

2.Quality check by Inti Originals Peru
After the products have gone through the CITE check, Inti Originals checks the products against the product specifications such as weight, design, locks, length and other details to make sure the product corresponds exactly with the product the customer finds on the website. After this quality check the product is being sent to the Netherlands.

3. Silver check by Waarborg Holland
According to Dutch regulations it is mandatory to give all silver products that are being produced abroad a silver brand. The reason for this is that for a consumer it is very hard to define the quality of a silver product. Inti Originals complies to this regulation by sending all the jewelry that arrives to Holland, to Waarborg Holland in Gouda. Here the silver quality is being checked and a small silver stamp is being marked on the jewelry. All our products have a silver quality of at least 950.

We take quality very seriously, which is why we give one year guarantee on all our products. This means if something is wrong with your jewel, we will inmediatey change it for a new one so you never have to await repairs.

Brond?

Brond is a combination of blond and brown hair and its the new hair colour for many celebs. It is perfect for brunettes who want to go lighter but not Paris Hilton blond, or for blondines who want to try something darker. Check below some ¨bronds¨!

Recession proof dates

Do not take the recession as an excuse to stay in and do nothing. Here are a few recession proof dates you and your honey can do with an empty wallet!

Get on thin ice. Depending on the weather, head to an indoor or outdoor ice-skating rink — it's the perfect excuse to hold hands, "accidentally" fall on top of each other, and grab a cup of hot chocolate and cozy up to each other to keep warm.

Skip the pricey wine bar and grab a few beers at your local dive bar. Make sure you pick a place with a pool table or dartboard set up, and challenge him to a few games. Loser owes the winner a song on the jukebox.

He may hate to shop, but he'll end up thanking you if you drag him to a flea market. There's something for everyone and plenty of things you never knew existed — you might even discover he has a hobby or weird collection you didn't know about!

Settle in for a night of pampering: No pricey spa required. Use your empty wallets as an excuse to stay in — and up — all night. Run a bubble bath and then treat each other to full-body massages. Sleep in the next day.

Get an adrenaline rush at the roller-skating rink. As long as you don't mind being the oldest people there who aren't chaperoning their children, it's a great way to have fun and let loose with each other. Top it off with a bowl of ice cream when you get home.

Play house: Dress up in your most serious grownup outfit and leave your tiny apartment to visit some open houses. Spend the day arguing over where you would put the love seat, discussing the difference between eggshell and ecru paint, and giggling over strangers' hideous decorating choices.

Spice up your movie-night routine by finding a drive-in movie theater. Stop at the supermarket on your way to load up on your favorite snacks, and bring blankets and pillows to make the car extra cozy. Let him pick the movie — you'll get points for being easygoing, even though you know you'll probably miss most of the movie.

Show him your rugged side and build something together. Ask him to help you build something like a coffee table or dresser for your place — he'll be psyched that you asked him, just as long as you can bite your tongue when the table he puts together falls apart the moment you set your cup of coffee down.

Bowl him over at the bowling alley. Psych him out by reminding him of how many gross people wore his shoes before him, and don't forget to program his sugary-sweet nickname ("Muffin Face") onto the computerized scoreboard instead of his real name.

Ask him about his fantasy cars and he'll probably talk your ear off. Head over to a local car dealership and test-drive the most expensive car they'll let you take out of the parking lot. Take turns at the wheel but resist the urge to nitpick each other's driving skills.

Pisco Sour

We think it is unfair not to share Pisco Sour with you. For many ages this national drink of Peru has been enjoyed in Latin countries, but if you want a variation on your mojito or pina colada you should definately try this delicous cocktail. Not as famous in Europe yet, but at least as good...

For 2 Pisco Sours you need:

• 1 cup of Pisco
• The juice of 6 lemons (use the green lemons)
• 2-3 spoons of sugar
• 10 ice cubes
• egg white of 1 egg
• cinamon

Put the pisco in a blender, add 20 ml of lemon juice and the sugar. Add the ice cubes and blend it to a nice mix until the ice is crushed. Now take the egg and separate the eggwhite. Add this to the mix in the blender and blend for another 20 seconds until you get a big foam layer. Now put the Pisco Sours into small glasses and finish with a little bit of cinamon on top. Salud!
