I fancy french press.

To glamour-up your morning coffee (no matter if french press or drip), I have some delightful recommendations:


1. Cinnamon
A teaspoon (or to taste) in your grains will give your cuppa a christmassy spirit.

2. Salt
Will provide the extra edge, when mixed with the grains.

3. Hazelnut
And I do not mean the syrup or other aroma. Adding finely ground hazelnuts to the grain enhances the taste. It is a trick used by bedouins to make coffee of lesser quality taste better.

4. Vanilla
Again, not the syrup. The more health-friendly alternative is also a way to go: actual vanilla in the grain! And if you want it a little sweeter, use vanilla sugar (as used in baking).

Enjoy!

Attack

I drastically needed some color. This is the season's "orange attack"!

{Sunday}

You know the feeling, when you are waiting for a parcel to arrive? Lovely. My university-bag broke (shockingly, the strap ripped out the lining (it looks like a crime-scene on the inside) so I can't carry it across my shoulder anymore when cycling, unless I reasign the straps to a new place and that's basically impossible and... that's were it ends), so I ordered a new large shopper. It's arriving tomorrow. The joy.

{Season's Greetings}

Slowly waking up from the christmas-coma and getting back to work... but still enjoying the magical time that is "between the years".

The inspiration for this ring is Iceland Moss, Clandonia rangiferina. Fun name, isn't it?
