A better landing and holding page for my book in progress. This is it, now I will focusing on finishing it, rather then playing around in Photoshop and pulling my hair with Dreamweaver 4. I’ll save that for another day

I love Paperblanks
Friday, February 3rd, 2012
One of my favorite things is to buy new notebooks. The other day I stumbled across a large selection of Parperblank journals that threw me in to decision-making-hell
I ended up with a lovely Grolier Ornamentali Notebook with blank pages.
Mine!

Get inspired to join A Good Week! A global celebration of good.
“I’m supporting A Good Week because I believe businesses should think about their social impact and work harder to tackle tough social and environmental problems. My aim, through our foundation, Virgin Unite, is to help change the way businesses and the social sector work together – driving business to be a force for good.”

While I am at it, I do recommend to read his books, especially Business Stripped Bare.
Forgotten drinks For a remembered Friend
Saturday, July 10th, 2010
Not to long ago one of my dear friends left London for new adventures in San Fransisco. Before she left, I together with some other friends of both me and her (my brave friend who left London that is), secretly made a book for her mixing life’s best ingredients – friendship, cocktails and memories. All into her very own book, this to make sure she would never forget us, her old skanky London friends, once she made new shiny California friends.
We all contributed with one cocktail recipe each, an appropriate (embarrassing) picture or two and a text from the heart. Which I then simply laid out in InDesign, using a set of templates which I easily downloaded from Blurb.
A week later, our hard work and expertise – a result of vast experience from activities which happens to ruins ones liver – was delivered neatly in a hard cover, with a stylish dust jacket.
Using Blurb was as easy as one, two three. You download your templates for InDesign, based on the cover, paper and desired amount of pages. Then you simply design and layout your book, export to PDF (after installing one of Blurbs color profiles – dead easy) and upload to Blurb. Choose your desired shipping time and voila – your book arrives.
If you don’t have the software or knowledge, then you can download Blurbs own layout software and produce your book.
I am very impressed with the quality of both the print and the paper, and I will definitely use Blurb again, however this time for my own creative projects.
View a sample below, sans the cover. Do bear in mind that the layout for the book pages was set-up to be viewed as a spread while reading, hence the left and the right white space.
When hell freezes over?

London is incredibly cold and windy right now. My website has been quite of late, this in favor for my couch, blankets, books and vast amounts of tea.
After devouring the latest Neil Gaiman book – The Graveyard Book – in one swoop, I had to re-read American Gods. I managed to get my hands on an extended version, with 12.000 extra words. The authors preferred text – my preferred reading. Hence the quietness of late. With only 30 odd pages to go.
The Resource for Inspiration
Saturday, March 27th, 2010
I am a firm believer in karma and the law of attraction. For me, it makes sense. Lately I have had both the opportunity and the luck to be pointed in the direction of a whole new world of inspiration towards a better mind, body and soul.
Three books are read, skimmed and sourced for new ideas, recipes, thoughts and knowledge upon my coffee table at present;
The Sunfood Diet by David Wolfe
Eating for Beauty by David Wolfe
Detox your life by Shazzie
They all contain nutritional information together with extensive knowledge of the human body and to obtain optimum health.
In my life, health and career I strive towards being disciplined and creative, so I can reach my goals. Practice makes perfect and exercise makes my ass perfect and keeps my mind sharp as a knife. I strongly believe that what we eat and how we treat our bodies effects the rest of the parts which together builds our life.
I find the books inspirational because they all practice some kind of good karma and explores emotions and thoughts around the western society and the way we eat, think and treat our bodies from a food “point of view”.
A lot of the recipes in the books are based on raw food (not to be cooked), something that I find very interesting and inspiring. Never have I tasted food with flavors so intense and pure as the dishes served at VegeOrganic in Soho, or other vegan/raw food restaurants I have visited around London.
I absolutely love food but I am terribly picky. To be honest, vegan chefs rocks my world. They know how to pick the best ingredients and how to carefully treat flavors, work their magic and serve food just as it should be – deliciously full of nutrients, placed inspiring upon a plate, packed with goodness and real energy.
“May your days be fulfilling and your nights thrilling”
- quote found in Davis Wolfe’s Sunfood diet
