Nespresso limited edition
by Sofia - in Blog collaboration Random
We were taste testing the new Nespresso limited edition flavours over the weekend. These ones come from Ethiopia and Uganda. The lighter roast is a number 5 on their strength scale which means it´s fairly light and the darker one is a 10 making it pretty strong. The lighter, silky smooth, Arabica Ethiopia Harrar is more to my taste. My husband preferred the darker, stronger Robusta Uganda that he said had an interesting orange after flavour. Both are suitable for milky coffees like macchiatos or cappuccino´s too. I´m always happy to try new flavours on the side with my favourites!

Vanderohe No. 1 serum
by Sofia - in Blog collaboration Shopping
This blog post needs a title like this. Because I have found the ultimate beauty product. If you have been following me for a longer time you know that I love oils for beauty products and that I have very dry skin. I´m am telling you, this serum is a life changer! My whole face and neck and décolleté are just beaming with joy when I add it to my skin. I only need a little for superbly moisturising effect and the skin drinks it up not leaving a sort of film on top of it ,which is my pet peeve in beauty products, but still leaves it feeling soft and glowing. I am not kidding. It´s like putting happiness on your face! And the scent is divine. It´s a concoction of the best quality natural organic oils so it smells natural as opposed to artificial or perfume like but in a good way. My morning routine of my Santa Maria Di Novella rose water and this nourishing face serum leaves the bathroom smelling so nice. You can find the list of the oils used in the face serum here. No wonder it smells so lovely.
Vanderohe is a fairly new company that only launched last year but has already accumulated a bunch of awards for this serum and it has been mentioned in magazines like Harpers Bazaar, The Times magazine and Vogue only to mention a few. It was founded by Olivia Vanderohe. You can read her story here.
