Their award winning hand cream restores softness to your hands and is refreshingly scented with essential oils to stimulate circulation. This is absolutely one of the best hand-creams I have ever tried – and I have tried a few!

Also the body lotions and body & bath oils are incredible with a heavenly scent and softness.Resource: http://tatertotsandteacups.blogspot.de

The sandalwood ‚Intensive Hand & Foot Treatment‘ deeply hydrates even hardest and roughest heels.

 The apricot ‚Cuticle Oil‘ is one of my favourites in the range. It softens your dry cuticle and over a freshly manicured colour, it gives shine and helps to prevent scratches.Resource: http://www.johnlewis.com

If you are lucky enough to stay at one of the Soho House hotels or spa’s you will have the chance to try a big range of their products as they are left in the rooms in original sizes. You will not want to leave your room or the spa…… so you can treat your body from head to toe with Cowshed

In her latest interview, Sibel Kekilli talks about her career in Hollywood, the role in a worldwide famous HBO series „Game of Thrones„ and the cooperation with her new stylist – Violetta Vio. 

For the successful roles in „Gegen die Wand“ in 2004 and „Die Fremde“ in 2010, Sibel won two Lolas – the most prestigious German film awards, and started an international career. She became recognizable to a wider public after playing a role of the investigator Sarah Brandt in „Tatort„ series.

Kikilli´s appearance in the great Hollywood production „Game of Thrones“ (nominated to Golden Globe Award for the Best Television Series – Drama in 2012) made her a worldwide star.

The second season of „Game of Thrones“ starts today on RTL II!

In her interview, Sibel points out the importance of finding a style that expresses your personality. She manages to achieve it with the help of Violetta Vio.

„Manche haben dafür ein Händchen, ich brauche noch Hilfe von außen – zum Beispiel von Violetta, meine Stylistin. Wir arbeiten erst seit Kurzem zusammen, aber es passt wunderbar!“ – says Sibel (p. 53).

„Working with Sibel is a pure pleasure!“ – Violetta Vio.

We are already looking forward to the next projects!

Quinoa – Gold of the Incas

Veröffentlicht am von

Quinoa…..is one of the best sources of protein and actually a seed but can be prepared like whole grains such as rice – cooking time is usually 10-15 minutes. It is gluten-free and low-fat and can be used with most meals including breakfast. It can aid in lowering cholesterol, is a great source of Iron, Magnesium and Calcium. The fibre content is exceptional including 9 essential amino acids, which is extremely beneficial to everyone especially vegetarians and vegans.

Here is one of my favorite recipes :

Firstly you need to prepare the quinoa: choose the amount in a pan, cover with water or vegetable broth and boil until soft – usually around 15 mintues, sieve and leave to cool.Chop up one banana, add some pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries and coconut oil into a saucepan and heat medium to low.  After add some almond milk and the previously prepared Quinoa.  You can add your favorite nuts, cinnamon, vanilla extract and coconut flakes and stir for a couple of minutes. Just before taking off the heat add some hemp or chia seeds.

Bon appétit!
