Hungarian Housewife

New Blog Series: Magyar Mondays

June 26, 2017 By Jennifer Leave a Comment

Well this is fun… I thought I would start a new series on the blog and call it Magyar Mondays. It’s kind of like Taco Tuesdays or Throwback Thursdays, but with less Mexican food or old pictures and more focus on all things Magyar (That’s Hungarian for those of you who didn’t know). This blog is called Hungarian Housewife, after all, so it only seems fitting that it should focus on all things Hungarian from time to time.

I hadn’t really gotten further than coming up with the title of the series before I set out writing this post and its getting late, so you’ll have to excuse the brevity of this post or it is going to turn into Magyar Tuesdays, which just does not have the same ring to it. So for today’s foray into Hungarian culture, I bring you a quick fun fact:

The Hungarian Parliament Building in Budapest

The Hungarian Parliament Building in Budapest

The Hungarian Parliament Building, which is considered by many to be the most beautiful Parliament Building in the world (and is often mistaken for a palace), is the third largest parliament in the world, has 691 rooms, 27 entrances and took nearly 2 decades to construct – construction began in 1884 and finished in 1902 which was 6 years after it was scheduled to be completed (it was supposed to be finished in 1896, which would have been in time to celebrate the Millennium Anniversary of the foundation of Hungary).

Okay that was like five facts, but they were quick. Happy Monday!

This time of year, the Santa Ana winds in LA can b This time of year, the Santa Ana winds in LA can be brutal on your skin. Nothing highlights fine lines and wrinkles quite like dry skin, so I was intrigued when @influenster sent me this @ponds Rejuveness Advanced Hydrating Night Cream to test and review. Pond’s has over 150 years experience in the skincare game and I had so many friends growing up that had mothers and grandmothers who were completely devoted to the brand. The cream is ultra hydrating and has a delightfully fresh scent and I’ve found it to be nice addition to my skin care routine during these dry autumn months. Plus, with an $8 price tag, it won’t break the bank.

Friday favorites: This past Sunday I was watching Friday favorites: This past Sunday I was watching church with my family, and our pastor recommend that everyone read Be the Bridge by @latashamorrison . I am so glad that he did. I finished it this morning, and it was such a timely and eye opening read. I highly recommend it.
