Colorful breakfast

August is the perfect time for healthy breakfasts. A quick visit to the farmers market and you’ll find everything you need. If you pre-wash your greens, fruits and berries and store them in bowls or stackable glass containers in your fridge – it is quick to serve too. Just get the bowls out and place […]

DIY: Zesty summer

Like many others, I like to spend summer somewhere warm, and most of my summers are spent in Spain, which often means long hot days with sand, salty water and insects. So to make sure I always have my drink clean and cold, I went to the local shop and bought some jars with nice lids. I […]

A special road sign was made and put […]

Nothing fancy or extraordinary, we’re talking about simple – possibly banal, but at times highly efficient – everyday forms of therapy. CLEW introduces the S-therapy: […]

Shaky legs & a six-pack vision

I think about fitness a lot. Normally it’s while I’m eating ice cream or finishing off a pack of cookies. Normally my thoughts are that I need to eat less ice cream and cookies and workout more.  When a friend invited me to try a boxing class with her, I thought it would be a […]
