INSPIRING -
Powerful and wild. We enjoy being powerful and wild. Just not to be bored and wild..
Being an Inspiration means being full of strength, a little rebel, go your own way, don't be afraid of breaking conventions and be a little wild from time to time...
Being an Inspiration means don't even knowing about it... But anyone could be Inspiring... But caution! Inspiration is not the same as copying someone!
Life is short, we only live once, look around and inspire ourselves to start doing things we are dreaming about...
Siluet YOGA WEAR is Inspiration to all women who love sport, found their way in Bikram Yoga or any other sport...
Let's not be boring, dull, no space for fears of doing things the way we feel it... why not different way? why not loudly? Why not for the first time?

Very first experiences
I'm looking back to start of my professional career as fashion designer. As I was little girl, I enjoyed to draw and create something. My mother created clothes for her and me, during that time it was almost only chance to wear fashion and original clothes. Yes, there was famous Burda magazine full of cuts and slowly it was possible to develop skills to perfection :)
I started to create my own pieces of clothes. I have hnd-knitted, foreign fashion magazines and catalogues were amazing inspiration... And we all have had somehow more time...
I will not talk more about why I couldn't due to my family origin (very special in socialistic country that Czechoslovakia was before 1989) study what I wanted. Shortly, I was not able to study art school or grammar school... I studied engineering with strong resistance, I was not accepted to Philosophical or Art University... And the best possible thing happened, I was expecting my son Karel... I was continuously designing and creating for me and my first clients... Right after it was officially possible to start running of private business I went for it and never ever regretted.. I have been invited to many fashion shows and fairs and in every possible moment I was thinking of new cuts and designs. The best Life University...
Shortcut... In 1991 I established Siluet mode and opened first boutique in Prague... Demand for quality clothes was enormous... Perfect time and fulfilled dream...

We have told you something about Inspiration... Eva is Inspiration...

In previous article you got known about very very beginnings of my fashion designer career... And you got to know that it was not straight... Everything I created, I designed my own way, not being touched by conventions and all time my competitive advantage was to use fabrics of highest quality possible, cuts and stories that were communicated by my collections...
I am a Woman, with everything that belongs to that fact - I love pearls, high heals, jewelry but also to take care of my family, my husband, son, my mother...
My actual life and work life make me able to suit my lifestyle to this fact and work at the time I need and want to, even if it is until night...
And I love nature... to bring flowers home, have a drink with my husband... Prepare delicous eggs for breakfast and make it special occasion...

...I do not regret things I have done, worse is to regret things and acts I haven't done......

BARBORA MOTTLOVÁ
„Good morning, my name is Barbora Mottlová and I am freshly 29 years old. I acted in many TV series. In couple of TV movies. It has been seven years since I started acting in theaters and my repertoroire is filled with 20 parts until nowadays. I am a host of many events and singer. During my leisure time I practise Bikram Yoga and enjoy social life :)“
Exactly this way I introduce myself durings castings...
As a little girl I had big dream to become a model. Later, when I realized that duration of model's career is limited but actress can appear on title pages of magazines in every age (if she takes care of herself :)). So, I changed opinion and started dreaming of being an actress... And? I am an actress. With everything beautiful connected with that. I acted in many beautiful TV series for Czech and international production. During last seven years I have been acting in theaters. And that is my passion. Actually my favourite part is princess Lenka in georgeous fairy-tale story. I continously shoot new TV series and movies.

I met Eva Plzáková years ago. Please, I will not count them. Nor me or Eva practised Bikram Yoga that time. During my studies I worked as model and presented Eva's Siluet collections during fashion shows. Where I appeared for first time by chance. Another girl was not able to come for show and our common friend called me to come instead of her. Since then I was Eva's model. I slowly started to appear in TV and cinemas and Eva started her Bikram career. She was so fascinated and passioned about Bikram Yoga lessons that I decided to try it. And I became passionated yogi too. So, Eva influenced me the best way.
When Eva asked me to photoshoot Siluet Yoga Wear collections I said immediately YES. I adore the colors, how playful collections are and how feminine they are... Because Woman of 2015 should be playful. As an actresss I see how important is to be in good mood and walk smiling every day, everytime. And funny, colourful outfits help you with that. I love fabrics that Eva uses. They are silky smooth and do not limit you in movement. Siluet YOGA WEAR = ideal brand!
I love Bikram Yoga not only because I perfectly stretch my body during the lesson. I also build muscles. But mainly because it is great relax and I clean my head with it. After every lesson I feel like after great sex. Sorry for being honest, but how to express my feelings better?
Yours,
BM

It is August... And during August we harvest Blueberries... Let's put them to cake...
|
|
|
So, for round cake form or 3 tartlets of 12 cm we need:
250 gr of medium ground flour; 125 gr of sugar (I use brown sugar, 100 gr is enough for me); half of baking powder package; lemon peel grated; 125 gr of butter; 1 egg; 1 dl of milk; a bit of salt; rum upon your preference :)
Process:
Put flour to bowl, mix with baking powder, add a bit of salt, sugar, lemon peel. Then add an egg and chopped butter. Unite the dough and add some milk.
Dough will slowly go to be smooth and will stop to be sticky to bowl and hands. If the dough would be very dry, add milk, if too much wet, add flour...
Teflon form is not necessary to be covered with butter, it is fine to put baking paper in it... We squeeze the dough to the form and flatten it... That is the time to put blueberries...
For topping:
In another bowl we mix 3 spoons of rough ground flour, 3 spoon of crystalized sugar and 50 gr of butter... We process by hands... And we put topping to the cake over blueberries.
We bake the cake for 30 minutes for 180 degress of Celsius... Every oven is different, control it! Baked dough should be slightly pink...
