I wrote earlier about the best snack in Austria and found out that there is a second best one that got deliverd by mail (real mail)! It’s called SnackPack and comes in this little cartboard box. You can choose out of many different variations or order specificly what you like! There are also Vegan variations available! Love it!

Great and fresh!

great discovery in the neighborhood

The Pure Living Bakery in Vienna’s 13th district Hietzing offers great British charm, combined with a relaxed atmosphere. It’s located in Hietzing’s oldest part Altgasse where only 1-2 floor high buildings frame the area. In summer, people can enjoy their garden which considering the weather we couldn’t. They serve everything from chai to yogi tea, coffee and smoothies. All drinks are also served with soy milk and suitable snacks for vegans are available. Sadly, they don’t have vegan sweets, there’s not enough demand for them. But we’ll just keep coming back and ask for more.

All together a place where time flows by and one can relax and have a nice sunday afternoon chat.

austrias greatest snack

Sometimes I’ve got gravings for a salty snack. But those things are usually not healthy at all. These roasted soy beans on the other hand taste delicious, are Vegan and add up to your diet like a champion. They got plenty of protein, what many guys will love and are still low in fat. Check them out at Spar supermarket.

greyness

it’s november, time has been shifted last week and days are short. people get depressed because of the lack of sunlight. especially in Vienna the greyness goes deep deep into the soul. it’s hard to keep up with your duties on a day like today and you know it will not get better until a while.

so what can we do about it? there are many daylight lamps out and we also have one. it’s a fantstic thing and really works (at least for me and my gorgeousness, they cost from 70-250 euro and come in various kinds. we haven’t tried the one that wakes you up like an alarm clock, yet. it simulates the sunrise, must be nice to have your little sunshine not only next to you in bed, but waking you up in the morning.

the easiest way to keep your mood up and make yourself feel a little better is to lit a candle. simple, “green” and cosy. scandinavian countries are well known for their burning of candles and it’s also well known that they need it like air! winters are long and dark, sunshine is rare and sometimes the warm light of candles keeps your mood up the whole winter!

so go and get some candles and put them where you work, where you eat and read and ….
but as always please get some organic, eco-friendly ones, because if we produce co2 we should at least make sure that the material came from the right sources.

one week since I deactivated my facebook account!

one week ago I decided to get out of the most common social network that just busted my mind and changed all habits of my internet use. Facebook is a fantastic social network tool but it can make you crazy!  After a while I found out that I was always just checking out other peoples lifes.  Becoming a passive observer I got so used to beeing a part of everyones life who’s in my fb list. It’s a total miss perception. Later I got anoyed by some of my fb-friends so I blocked them.

Now after a week of deactivating my facebook account I have the feeling I am left out in the cold. But it’s not that people are not interested in corresponding. It’s just the way facebook works. It’s a total show of without dedication.

A while ago I registered at the g-living homepage (my page on g-living). It’s a platform for stylish vegetarian people who are willing to share eco-veggy-design, food and so on. It’s worth checking out. Don’t know yet if it will be my facebook but at least it’s more distinct.
