:: Back to the roots

It never occured to me that one can make beet roots by yourself. And it's so easy and delicious.
Especially with goat cheese, roasted peppers and tofu.






Which brings me to that. Placemats by H&M.

:: The next big thing : Peter Pan Collar

It's weird. Sometimes I got the feeling, that I got quite a sense of style. Rarely, but sometimes.
Last year I was looking for Peter Pan Collar adorned blouses or shirt and could find one. And today they're popping around.

:: Get posh magazines for free (almost)

Are you a sucker for foreign magazines but can't find them and afford them?
Every month I'm hunting down the british "Country Living" at newsagents in Berlin. When I grab one I have to pay more the 10 Euro!
But now with Zinio, the world's largest online newsagent, you can save money and trees. They have all the mags from around the world for just less half the price from the original.

Sign up for a free trial. I just treated myself to 3 free issues of "Marieclaire".

:: new bloom

Shades of grey still dominating Berlin. To brighten up a little here some blooming pictures and ideas i came across in the net.

This is a clever and enviromental idea to perfume your room. Just attach orange or lemon rind on a wire and hang on your radiator.

:: Danger ahead :: Heavy Hibernation

Due to some heavy hibernation there will be low traffic. But I'm planning to do a post about Berlin-Mitte.
About the tourist grammed (and abused) streets, of hip and traditional shops and secret places (are there any left?)
