[Gourmet] Chocolate Butter with Hazelnuts

Chocolate Butter with Hazelnuts

[Easy dessert recipe]

When I was a little girl the chocolate butter was my favorite dessert. Probably because it was so easy to make and no oven was involved. You know, because of the whole "don't play with fire" rule. I always have some chocolate butter in my freezer in case my friends come over for the sunday brunch. 

Before you start make sure your butter has a room temperature so you can easily mix it with the ingredients. You can use the regular butter but I think the light yoghurt butter tastes the best. And remember no matter how appealing the chocolate butter looks it is still pure fat and has like millions of calories ;)

Beaded Statement Belt

[Easy fashion tutorial]

This an absolute fantastic way to revamp a simple skinny belt and turn it into a real high fashion accessory. And especially the contrast color combination gives it a sophisticated touch. You can get the beads in any craft supplies or you just simply reuse some of your old jewelry. The long spikes are available in the Ebay-shop here, but you can stick to the beads if the spikes are too edge for your. Make sure to use a strong thread for the beads and secure the ends very well.

[DIY] Knitted statement clutch

Knitted statement clutch
[Step by step tutorial]

This a great example of what you can do with all the leftovers from your previous knitting projects. I had a box full with all kinds of small wool balls and it drove me nuts what they were wasted like that. Originally it supposed to be an oversized beanie but during the process the weather in Berlin changed so rapidly (thanks to the global warming) that  I had to go with a motley clutch. Although the knitted bag still can keep your hands warm in case the global warming changes it's mind ;). You don't know how to knit? Go ask your granny.

This is the first time that I bought something more substantial than a t-shirt by Primark. Let's say as an annoying do-gooder I am looking for clothes with higher life expectancy :). And lets face it, the Primark products are more famous for the low prices, rather than for the high quality. Which was ok for me, since I didn't expect the raincoat to live longer than the messy project I worked on. But the little piece kinda exceeded my expectations. I love the color, I love the little details. I love the fact that I can just fold it to the size of an iPad. Which makes it a perfect piece for traveling to… Hmm… Rainforest. And the point of the whole story? No point, I just like this blue hooded coat...
