Good morning monday. I walked over to Cafe Gratitude to work a little bit over a bowl of crunchy homemade granola, coconut yoghurt, cinnamon and fruit. I prefer yoghurt made from coconuts. It tastes so fresh and living, if you know what I mean? Coconuts are one of the most nutritious foods mother nature has to offer.

It’s getting closer. In only a few weeks I’m releasing my very first book called “Hälsokick” where I share some health ideas and recipes with superfood smoothies, super fruits, coconuts, juices, elixirs, breakfast alternatives and other healthy snacks that will make you feel great and give you a little “Hälsokick” 🙂

“let’s make the rest of your life, the best of your life”

We shot the book at fantastic locations like One Gun Ranch in Malibu, Topanga Fresh Market, a beautiful beach in Santa Barbara,  at some fields and farms up in the wine country around Santa Ynez and Los Olivos and of course here in Venice.  These are some of the places that I really love, are close to the food source and nature.

The cute saloon kitchen we used for a day at the ranch…

… with a pretty sweet view.

Biodynamic farming, right there.

Delicious and crispy greens.

Morgan, the ranch manager.

Such a mess. A fun mess!

Waffle the donkey, the other ranch manager.

Fileds of kale and swiss chard in the valley of Santa Barbara. Yum!

Welcome inside the most inviting cottage in Venice. Here, they have everything country living, shabby chic, vintage,  pillows, throws, rugs, tables, beddings, patio furniture and other unique items… well, yeah, everything we want basically. At least I do 🙂 I really like this style. Maybe not everything at once, but I can totally go for peaces here and there.

At Tumbleweed, they custom make furniture for you. Anything you want, they will make it happen. Every week the store looks different, they move around stuff, sell stuff and make new stuff all the time. It’s a very living and friendly environment.

 If you don’t need anything, at least pick up one of their homemade candles, they will make your house smell really yummy!
