Quote for the Weekend

“Past is dead

Future is uncertain;

Present is all you have,

So eat, drink and live merry.”

Albert Einstein

Your Coffee shop Outfit

• We’re really into her plain white t-shirt and tattoos. Buy ethical outfits from here.
• Bar & Cocoa has an amazing selection of Christmas gifts. Look at this adorable peppermint hot cocoa packaging, and of course, the new Omnom holiday bars (see the image, below)! <3 We buy this brand for the stunning designs AND their chocolate is delicious.

Have a lovely weekend.
