High Five # 11 ~ Colours

Aloha All,

I know, it sounds a bit trivial with just naming colours but nevertheless I will do it because I just feel like it.

So let the colour-play begin:

The ultimate most beautiful colours in my eyes are green and coral! OMG, how much do I love these colours and to be honest I mean all aspects of them.

I LOVE khaki, muddy-green, emerald-green, lime-green, wood-green, jungle-green, petrol (more on the green side), light-green, …

I LOVE all colours of the sun (going up & down) so coral, peachypink, yellow, orangy, red orange-red, lilac-coral-peachy-pink, and on and on and on …

J I know, I know – that is not really a top 5 but that is simply it

I am not born in a culture of tea. That is something I might state at the very beginning to make sure I am not haunted by the ones really reaching for tea for all there life and knowing good from bad. ;-) But I do like tea a lot and basically that is why I bring this up into my favourites list.

So enjoy my selection and let me know if you like one or the other as well!

My best start in an exhausting day is with Twinings Everyday. It just gives me the extra portion relaxation I need to begin my daily struggles.

Next comes Twinings Revive & Revitalise (Lemon & Ginger), which is the ultimate secret in the afternoon when you are exhausted from work. I found this little beloved tradition of mine when I was in business meetings in the UK for literally days without sunlight, breaks or anything – it was just hard negotiations, but this instantly refreshed me and brought my mind back on track!

Absolutely love it ever since!

In the evening I tried it with Twinings A Moment Of Calm (pure camomile) and it worked as well as the family member in the afternoon.

In general (and I am not too loyal to any brands in this) I love fennel-anise-caraway tea. It is incredible if you have stomach aches but also just to calm down and get a step slower.

And the very best is Fresh Peppermint Tea!!! Yay, this is something I even order when I am out at night (boring – I know but I can live with being a bit nerdy). So refreshing and good!

Cheers,

High Five # 9 ~ Juices

Aloha All,

I love juice! Yay, it brightens up my day tremendously when I start with a nice juice. So here is my top five (which is about to change quite quickly as I love to try new ones all too often).

My all time fav is freshly squeezed orange juice! Yummy!

What is one of my most reached for shortly after is pineapple juice – so fresh and prickly on the lips.

This can sometimes be topped by the mixture between pineapple and coco – this juice basically brings me on a tropical island while drinking it – yeah!

What is sooo good too, is strawberry, kiwi & lime juice – wohoo! Best from my most trusted juice bar (it sounds a bit weird to call it like that but it is, right?).

And the last juice which makes me very happy at the moment is Passion fruit juice. Nice nice nice!

What juice do you prefer in the morning?

Cheers,
