NordenBladet – For the past two days I have again been on the creativity and art wavelength. When looking out of the window in the morning I once more admitted that life in the countryside is amazing, that my home is amazing. Though life in the countryside is a luxury and not always easy to lead, I absolutely enjoy every moment of it. Living in the countryside is inspiring. Snowy wild and beautiful scenery, burning wood in the furnace, the purring cat, a large personal piece of land of the beautiful Estonia, silence, peace (unless this silence is interrupted by the noisy music sometimes voluntarily coming from my speakers).
I enjoyed a long and calm breakfast along with today’s newspapers. I drank a glass of God Morgon red grape juice, two cups of coffee, and ate my favorite breakfast – a toast with onion, salmon and caviar! Yummm… Then I took two shots of Chaga elixir and went outside to plow the snow. In the fresh air I smoothly burnt several hundred calories and gathered over 6000 steps. Then back inside, a shower, and off to the beauty salon.
Today I had my eyelashes done. I have my eyelashes and eyebrows done every 2-3 weeks, it is comfortable and then I can look fine without having to spend time on putting on any make-up. I put on make-up only when I have a photo shoot or a major event coming, on a daily basis never really.
This month I have already completed two paintings – about the first, where the mouse boy Ivar Apodemus plows the snow, I already wrote in my NordenBladet blog (see HERE), my ElishevaShoshana.com art blog (see HERE) and my OHMYGOSSIP site (see HERE). Yesterday evening I completed yet another painting (His Highness Mouse the First – series painting nr 16). It depicts two mice in the pub. I am really full of enthusiasm and power, and the more I do the more I have new energy. Recently I have been reading Merit Raju’s book “Life on a new level – Wake up with excitement. Live to the fullest. Sleep in peace.” Life really is on a new level when you focus on your development, dream, and make your dreams come true, give the best you have and have courage to be seen, be honest, loving, free and creative. Today I can claim all of this about myself – I wake up with excitement and happiness, and go to bed fulfilled!
I have already posted that I decided to give up alcohol for an indefinite time. This is a gift to myself, not any kind of suffering or any of the new year’s resolutions. Yet since I like it, I have to replace it with something. I really like herbal teas which I also prepare very often from the herbs I have gathered, but I also like the taste of beer. Namely the taste, not that it comes with spirits. Thus I am testing various non-alco 0%-0,5% beers. One of my favorite is the green can non-alco Go Pilsner by Saku brewery (the price-quality proportion is suitable), yet also several other non-alco beers taste good.
Today I tested six beers and here is my evaluation of them 🙂
1. place: A.Le Coq “Warsteiner Premium Fresh” (23 kcal / 0%). Super good, big applause and words of praise… it came first very easily to my mind. It is very tasty and it really feels real, I wouldn’t believe it was non-alco, if I didn’t know.
2. place: Heineken (21 kcal / 0%) Second and third place taste quite similar, Heineken perhaps is stronger than Carlsberg. Both taste good and are great beers.
3. place: Carlsberg (20 kcal / up to 0.5%)
4. place: Budweiser Budvar (15,5 kcal / up to 0.5%) You can drink it but it is not as good as the previous three.
5. place: Stella Artois (18 kcal / 0%) Had the aftertaste of an apple, didn’t like it much.
6. place: Clausthaler (26 kcal / up to 0.5%) – this, from the six beers, was the worst, actually the only one I didn’t really like. Had a weird strong aftertaste.
That’s all for this time! Have fun!
Hugs!
