OM NOM NOM.

When ever I'm in London and need some special groceries that I use everyday, like cooking oil or spices, I shop at Planet Organic near Goodge Street tube station. My favorite treats are raw kale chips, raw dried rhubarb and Green & Black's Organic white chocolate, I munch on them almost every day! Usually I eat oatmeal for breakfast, but some mornings I'm not that hungry so I make a shake of hemp protein powder and coconut milk and grab a small box of blueberries to snack on before lunch. I'm absolutely crazy about coconut, I drink Vitacoco almost everyday and use coconut oil for everything from cooking to skin and hair care. I guess I've gone quite nuts about everything organic and all natural, yesterday I bought all natural cigarettes :D I don't really smoke anymore but we had a big night so I allowed myself to get a pack for the party. I really believe it makes a difference if you use organic products, especially us women get so much extra toxins in our bodies from make-up and hair products, and think about what a strain hormonal birth control is to our livers. I'm not that fuzzy about everything being organic when I eat out, but I hope next week I will have time to check out a new organic vegan restaurant in Soho, I've heard their lunch is amazing. If you know any good restaurants for organic food in London leave me a comment! :)

BYE MATSURI.

Kurjuuksien kurjuus, kuulin että japanilainen ravintola Matsuri suljetaan pian! Tällä lafkalla on minulle erityinen merkitys, kävin Matsurissa ihka ensimmäisellä Nycin reissullani vuonna 2005, ja maistoin siellä elämäni ensimmäisen kerran sushia. Siihen aikaan japanilainen ruoka ei ollut vielä iso juttu Jyväskylässä. Illallistimme siellä ystävieni kanssa keskiviikkona ja Matsuri on mielestäni vieläkin yksi New Yorkin parhaimpia sushi-mestoja. Joten kiiren vilkkaa murkinalle jos olette kaupungissa! Huhun mukaan Tao Group osti Matsurin, se ei välttämättä ole pahin mahdollinen asia, sillä kaikkien aikojen lempiravintolani on 58th Streetin Tao. Odotan mielenkiinnolla, mitä Matsurin paikalle tulee.


Ahhhh I just heard Matsuri is closing down in a couple weeks! How tragic, I went there already on my very first trip to NY in 2005, and it's the place where I first tried sushi since at that time Japanese food wasn't yet a big thing in Finland. I had dinner there with some friends last Wednesday and I think it's still the best sushi place in New York. So if you're in town this is your last chance to try it! Apparently the Tao group is taking over, which might not be too bad since the 58th Street Tao is actually my favourite restaurant ever. We'll see what they turn Matsuri into, let's hope it's good.

STUDY GROUP BK STYLE.

Kun koulutehtävät tuntuvat ylivoimaisen tylsiltä ja motivaatio on hukassa, juustotarjotin ja
 punaviini muuntavat kuivan opiskelusession hieman hienommaksi tapahtumaksi. This is how we do it!

When school stuff is dead boring and motivation completely lost, a nice cheese tray and red wine will help transform your dry study session into a more glamorous event. This is how we do it!
