aqua fresca scented with rhubarb, rose and vanilla

Even the boring oatmeal for breakfast becomes a perfumed extravaganza, if you substitute part of the milk by rhubarb essence. Don’t be disappointed if […]
time out in the sun
Winter was really weird and way too long, so we decided to leave Dresden for a short vacation.
fruity
I’m looking forward to my super fruity breakfast tomorrow morning: pink grapefruit, pears, banana, apple, flaxseed oil, almonds, goji berries( still to be soaked) and chia seeds. All mixed in a blender and poured over a bowl of white rice. A cup of light green tea would match perfectly, what do you think?

The best way to flush out toxins is simple: lots and lots of water. I start my day off drinking water from a bottle right in the bathroom and continue throughout the day finishing at least one big jug more. 1. Recommended amount: at least 2 litres daily. 2. Have a glass of water with your cup of coffee/ expresso or black tea because caffeine dehydrates the body. 3. Add natural flavours […]
