APPLE CINNAMON ROLLS (v)

Apple Cinnamon Rolls (vegan) by black.white.vivid.

How come we are already two weeks into December? I’ve not even bought a single Christmas present yet, though I have a list of things in my mind. Phew, at least something. But where have all those days gone? I feel like I haven’t done anything though I did actually achieve a lot. Or let’s rewrite that last part. I’ve started a lot of things in the past few weeks. But then again I wish I would have more time to finish what I started. Because lately I’m very very excited about…me? This blog? My work? All things related to black.white.vivid.! I feel very motivated and inspired at the moment. I can’t even really explain the shift of my mindset because, you know, it’s dark outside. And rainy. And cold. So normally my brain, heart and soul would go into sleep mode. But not this year. Not this year.

This December I’ve worked on and thought about new adventures that make me look forward to 2017. Like really “I’m 10 years old and it’s Christmas Eve” kind of excited. I’ve never done this before but I’d love to share a few things with you I’m currently working on. This is mostly because I once read that chances are higher to achieve a goal if you share it with somebody. And since you lovely soul are not just somebody but the reason that motivates me to do the things I do….it just feels right to share my plans for now and 2017.

  • There will be a new black.white.vivid. logo and branding strategy. I’m super happy I’ve found an amazing designer and I can’t wait to start working with her.
  • It’s one of my stretch goals for 2017 and I haven’t even started working on it but I want to publish an international food guide of restaurants to visit in 2017
  • Another stretch goal for this year has been to set up and create a concept for an interview series of foodpreneurs. What drives people, what are there afraid of and how does their food (& food related) business play into all that. Super enthusiastic to share inspiring stories with you.
  • And I definitely want to invest extra time and belly space to bring you more local food and city guides. And that means that I will travel much more than I did in 2016. It might be a little stressful but I’ve come to love love looovveee the guides over the past few month and I want to bring you more more mooooreee.
  • The big word of 2017 will be COLLABORATIONS. I’ve recently done and shared my first guest blog post and absolutely loved it (see my post on NutsandBlueberies.com and Janine’s post on black.white.vivid. here). On my recent trip to London I met up with Sara of Shiso Delicious to work on a feature about Rawligion, a beyond-delicious (raw vegan) eatery.

Other than planing for 2017, I’ve been busy baking apple cinnamon rolls. It took me three attempts to get the vegan yeast dough right (thank you Kitchennostalgia.com for your Vegan Crazy Dough recipe). I’m happy to report that eventually I’ve managed to create some super moist, soft, vegan apple cinnamon rolls. After that exhausting (and calorie heavy) baking week I was then very glad to hop on a plane and fly to London. I didn’t do much Christmas shopping. Only if you consider going to Whole Foods and buying Christmas-flavored cat snacks and sour dough starter as Christmas shopping. I just enjoyed walking around, collection leaves at the still colorful Hyde Park, marvelling at all the Christmas lights and decorations, meeting friends and eating lots of good food. Though nothing tasted as good as my apple cinnamon rolls….just kidding. But they are still really good 🙂

I‘m really not back in the Instagram groove yet. I‘m really not back in the Instagram groove yet. Even though I‘ve already prepared 20 or so new images to post and that were supposed to make the transition from my Instagram break easier, I keep forgetting posting on my feed.  Although I‘ve come love sharing images and short videos on my Stories all the more. I just uploaded a few of yesterday’s happenings in Malmö. I had delicious coffee, ate too much food and met Malin of @goodeatings ✨ Happy days!7

Oh and this is probably my favorite photo yet. I shot it the other day in Dubai where it’s still summer and melons juicy and sweet. I simply love the light and colors. Endless summers can be so pretty, too. Though I’m also enjoying Malmö‘s autumn cold at the moment 💛  #lifeandthyme #foodandwine #appetitejournal #theartofslowliving #eattheworld #cntravelereats #kinfolklife #gatheringslikethese #teamcanon #mycommontablefood
Weekend Mood on a Wednesday evening! Because I li Weekend Mood on a Wednesday evening!

Because I literally can’t wait for this work week to be over because I’m heading to Europe tomorrow with stops in Germany, Copenhagen, Malmö and London.

I also can’t wait for autumn. I secretly wish that it will be moody and rainy and maybe even snowing, though the weather forecast is mostly sunny and snow at the beginning of October is probably wishful thinking too. 
Either way, I’m just quite excited for the food I get to eat, friends and family I get to see and magical moments I get to experience. 📸 Edited with my newest preset bundle „Mellow Cream“ (link in profile @blackwhitevivid )  #lifeandthyme  #theartofslowliving #seasonalfood #plantfueled #bevisuallyinspired #shareyourtable #breakfastinbed
Lately, I’ve been on a self-investment journey. Lately, I’ve been on a self-investment journey. I briefly talked about it in my last post. This summer I started learning how to be a good cook. There is no better investment than in yourself and even though sometimes others benefit from it too (like @fevonos who gets to eat pretty great dinners for a while now), often times it’s just for yourself. 
A while ago I made a list of things I wanted to invest my time in. Number one for me will always be photography and styling. It’s something I love and will consistently focus on. While it’s smart to surround yourself with people that are extremely good at it (like @linda_lomelino who styled this gorgeous scene), I also realized that thinking out of the box, improving a skill in one field to become better in another area, is an option too. So I decided to take up handwriting/calligraphy classes.

For the longest time ever I disliked my handwriting. And even though we live in a digital age and I hardly use pen and paper nowadays, my ugly scribbles have always annoyed me. Soon I’ll be taking an online handwriting class, so that my grocery and to-do lists, my journal entries and my Christmas cards finally look pretty. I don’t do this to become crafty or sell cute cards (though you never know where life takes you) but simply because I know I’ll be happy every time I write something down. And it’s a subject that boosts your creativity one way or another (I hope you’re as excited as I am for gorgeous flat lays with handwritten letters 😋). Anything you always wanted to learn or improve?

Happy Thursday and Happy Weekend to all folks here.

Guess how long I’ve been delaying this very firs Guess how long I’ve been delaying this very first post after my four-months Instagram break? 
3 weeks! It’s been sitting here for 3 long weeks and I somehow didn’t have the courage to post it. Do you know that feeling? 
Like when you didn’t go to the gym for the past year (true story) and dread the exhaustion and sore muscles and therefore decide to maybe wait a little longer. Just until you feel super fit and ready. Guess what, ready never comes and you won’t get fit until you start exercising again. 
Or when you didn’t sit behind a steering wheel for the past 10 years (also true story) but now live in Dubai and nothing is fun without driving. It’s scary at first and you have way too many self-doubts but then you wonder why you thought you would be bad at something millions of people do each day. 
Or the time when you didn’t see and haven’t really talked to a (back then good) friend for 8 years and are afraid the chemistry won’t be the same. And then it feels like it was only yesterday you saw each other the last time. 
Those were all moments that felt scary or at least uncomfortable at first. But they all had a somewhat happy ending (if you consider feeling stiff and aching a happy moment 😋). So I just hope that I’ll also survive this post (I heard a lot of things have changed again on Instagram). But I’m mostly excited, I’ve done some soul searching, mood searching and subject searching. The result is a bunch of new photos, new content and new inspiration. It’s all been sitting here for 3 long weeks too. For now I’m just happy I’ve finally shared my first post again and I’m finally back (true story 😉).
I’ve been dragging myself through life lately an I’ve been dragging myself through life lately and I’m dying to get out of that dark hole again. I’m not very good with handling those phases, though I know they are important and necessary to progress and evolve. I usually don’t share these kind of feelings on Instagram, all I do is stay away because I’ve learned that forcing it makes everything worse. So I don’t do photo shoots and share images I hate anyway but I put my phone away and have screen-free days or hours. I go on long evening walks (even when it’s 37C / 99 F outside), bake cakes and sit on the balcony doing nothing. Have you tried that lately. It’s so hard in the beginning but doing nothing other than maybe thinking has been one of the best exercises to clear my head. Since this week I’m seeing light again at the end of the tunnel. I picked up my camera again, started writing for my blog and came across some pretty amazing podcasts that gave me the right pep talk at the right time. If you like podcasts and want to feel inspired and motivated I can highly recommend listening to @onegirlband_ and @local_milk latest episodes. What are the books or podcasts or accounts or blogs that inspire and motivate you?

Spring Skillet Pizza with asparagus, sugar pea sna Spring Skillet Pizza with asparagus, sugar pea snaps, edamame, pesto and basil - the first attempt of many more to come. Have you ever made skillet pizza? It looks super easy but mine collapsed when I tried to put it into the hot cast iron pan. But the taste is still super delicious. No need for a pizza stone 💁🏻‍♀️😄

Slowly trying to get back into my routine after ou Slowly trying to get back into my routine after our 2-week vacation. It’s harder than I thought. During the first few days of my holiday I needed a lot of time to just relax and sleep. And then when my mind was well rested, it started working again. New ideas, new projects, new goals. But I didn’t act on them, I didn’t judge, I just let them come and go. That’s the hardest part because I always feel like I need to sit down the next minute and start working. I just knew that I needed a few more days off and that I should really take some time for myself doing something other than work. So being back home I have all these ideas and thoughts accumulated in my head and it’s such a big mess that it rather paralyses than motivates. Does that sound familiar to you? Maybe I should just take another day off, have some pear rosemary galette and write everything down before I start putting it into action. 😊 And just a little reminder, my favorite Lightroom Preset bundle is still 50% off until tomorrow (link in profile @blackwhitevivid). Just saying 🤷🏻‍♀️😊

I‘m back to the desert and its slightly warm spr I‘m back to the desert and its slightly warm spring weather (37C/ 99F). I took an unplanned break from posting on my Instagram feed though I hope you liked my Stories from Réunion and Mauritius. It’s quite a change in scenery, I really enjoyed the lush and jungle-like landscape, though I’m really looking forward to some sandy time in Dubai now before I head off to a longer Europe trip mid May. Also, I just wanted to let you know that my favorite Lightroom Preset Bundle is 50% off for the next three days (link in profile @blackwhitevivid ). Happy Editing & Happy Sunday 💛

Emirati Sweet Dumplings with Coffee Syrup. Another Emirati Sweet Dumplings with Coffee Syrup. Another photoshoot in the desert, another favorite set of photos. Not just because I‘ve grown fond of the sand dunes but also because I‘m joining @terminatetor‘s #virtualcoffeeparty2018 - where other food bloggers from all over the world share a coffee-inspired recipe. The recipe for these dumplings, also known as Luqaimat, is now on the blog (link in profile @blackwhitevivid). I‘ve tagged everyone who participated this year, so if you need an extra dose of coffee this Friday, check out their posts too 😄
