Mascara

I've been using Korres Abyssinia Oil Mascara for many years, and it's a great mascara. Good colour and stays on without smudging. Greece is the birthplace for the Korres brand, and a lot of the herbs used in this natural brand are from the Greek islands.







Just recently I changed my mascara, and I've finally found the best mascara ever! 100% Pure Black Tea mascara is fantastic. The best brush I've ever tried, and I've tried a few... Gives my lashes perfect length and volume to match. Feels almost like I'm wearing false lashes, without being over the top.

100% Pure products are organic, contains no synthetic chemicals, no detergents, no parabens, no phthalates, no chemical preservatives, no artificial fragrances or colors. All products are completely vegan and only fruit and vegetable pigments are used to give the products color.



As usual I bought mine at eleven.se. You can find 100% Pure stores in California only, but if you live in Europe (EU) you can order directly from the website.

Meat Free Saturday

More ricotta. This cheese is lovely!

We made pizza. Very easy to do, healthy and vegetarian.

For 4 persons

1 roll of puff pastery (500gr)
2 eggs
250 gr ricotta-cheese
2 tablespoons of finely-chopped fresh thyme
350 gr of tomatoes (it looks really nice if you mix the colors)
1 pot of chervil
olive-oil
salt
Freshly ground black pepper

- Heat up the oven to 200C
- Put the puff pastery on a baking sheet on top of oven paper. Tuck up the edges about 1cm and brush them with a whisked egg.
-Mix ricotta, thyme and one egg. Spice with 1/2 a teaspoon of salt and 2 pinches of black pepper.
-Put the paste on the puff pastery and spread it evenly.
-Bake it in the middle of the oven about 20-25 minutes until the puff pastery gets golden-brown and crispy.
-Put sliced tomatoes and chervil on top of it and add some salt, pepper and olive-oil

Espresso - this is something else

For those of us that loves the cute and smart pods and the cool design of the Nespresso-machines, here are some good news. In an earlier note I wrote that Nespresso don't have any organic coffee and about the problems to recycle the pods.

Ethical Coffee Company  has a solution to this. Their pods fits perfectly in the Nespresso-machines and they are filled with organic and Fair Trade coffee (the Lungo and Inca Soave capsules). The pods are biodegradable and can be thrown in the trash or put on your compost. Great news for all coffee-lovers out there. Great christmasgift for my husband who has been longing for one. Stores can be found in lots of European countries and in the U.S.

So you can sip an organic expresso after a nice dinner or enjoy a cappuccino mixed with organic milk and cinnamon before work. Isn't it great with new innovations that find even better ways to improve new cool things. I love it!

Since the CEO of Ethical Coffee Company used to be the CEO of Nespresso I' m sure he knows what he's doing and provides top notch products. Maybe it's time for me to start drinking coffee...
