GENEVA: LAKESIDE PROMENADES AND LUXURY SHOPPING
It might be a small city, but there are still many gems to discover in Geneva. Here’s a list of the best things to do in and around town – from all the major touristy places, to instagrammable photo opportunities, to the local favs (I’ve been living in Geneva since 2017):Read More »
My personal fav of all homemade plant milks is by far the cashew drink: it is super fast and super easy to make and it even tastes like real milk in your coffee.
The good news is, that you do not have to filter out the nuts after blending! The recipe really involves very few steps and kitchenware – only the soaking of the cashews takes a bit of time.Read More »
Since there is an (inter)national day for everything now, even us lefties got their very own: August 13th is International Lefthanders Day! Maybe a special recognition by society as a compensation for all the struggles they put us into? 😉Read More »
How many times did I buy a pot of basil for my kitchen at the farmers market, rather than just getting a few bunches – hoping I could harvest my little plant whenever I need basil for cooking (sustainability!!…plus it looks so nice and chefy to have a basil plant on your window sill <3). That was the plan every single time. It must be possible that the plants can survive my care a little longer than just two weeks!? But it did not work once and I was buying a new basil pot every time the old one died.Read More »
Chives plants are very frugal and easy to grow (perfect for people who do not have a green thumb, like myself). 🙂
They are perennial and therefore able to overwinter. The most important thing the chives need is WATER, lots of it.
For 2018’s Lent period I gave up shampoo – and kept going beyond Easter. I’ve been shampoo-free for more than half a year now and love it!
My No Poo adventure started when I was searching for zero waste alternatives for my regular shampoo that comes in a plastic bottle. Since I really don’t like soap (looks ugly in the bathroom after the first use and is pretty inconvenient for travel), and creating my DIY-shampoo with ingredients I don’t know how they will affect my hair (baking soda? lemon? nope.), these alternatives weren’t for me. The combination of me not being a chemist and being somewhat lazy lead me to the ultimate No Poo version: Water Only.
Marjoram plants are available in garden centers or supermarkets from springtime on. Repot the marjoram into a bigger pot to give it more space to grow (the pots you can buy them in are usually too small). If there is more than one plant, plant them separately into several pots, which also allows you to experiment with different locations.
