cupcakes

got myself a little treat at cupcakes wien, a cute little shop that specializes in cupcakes of all kinds, sweet, sour, wedding or birthday specials, you name it. i'm also a fan of the packaging and design of the take away boxes. of course, being me, the decision making process was limited to the most chocolate-y options: the chocolate mousse cupcake and the chocolate orange cupcake - i went for the latter because, well, i also like oranges.  

june

spent yesterday walking around town, occasionally stopping for coffee, food, sun, or a photo opportunity. i'm on a mission to a) eat healthy (not too difficult since my body has developed a natural aversion to fast food and instant meals all by itself) b) cook and use new recipes as often as possible. i have been heading over to smitten kitchen quite a lot to try out some of her delicious recipes, some of which have quickly become favourites of mine: the asparagus & goat cheese pasta and the mushroom strudel, among others. as i am currently also in possession of a working oven (never take these little luxuries for granted!) i guess i will be making cake soon... 

i should probably organize my posts better and divide them into categories, but alas, i am as chaotic as ever and i shall not deny this fact online (nor elsewhere, ahem).

this saturday & sunday, i will be at fesch'markt, a designer market that was created to give young talents the chance to showcase and sell their work. food, drinks, music and new tote bags (and a bit of hipster flair, right)? sounds like my kind of saturday.

 

feel it all around

fresh fruit, a little bit of sunshine, my favorite magazines, the cosiest little café around the corner. may has lasted forever in my mind, yet it's passed by so quickly i can hardly believe it's almost june. it would be so easy just to sit back and let things happen to you, wouldn't it? well, that's not the way it works. just this week somebody said to me "you're at a stage where good things only happen when you make them happen" - probably one of the best things i have heard all month. strangely calming to know you're in complete control. if not of all things, at least of the way you choose to handle them. remember that...
