Coffee and Crisps

I like the fact that some of the baristas who work at Estate know that I like my croissants on the softer side, in the early morning it's a large latte, in the afternoon a rooibos tea or a chai latte. I really like that all their milk is organic, that they give you a small chocolate with every drink and that it varies depending on what you order. They know what they are doing at Estate and they do it well, very, very well indeed. And having one of the best baristas know your coffee habits isn't a bad thing. Surely an innocent latte can't do you any harm? Surely!

Well we have started detoxing in apartment 505. I think over the last 3 years or so, we have been eating rather healthy. But not well enough and it isn't just food, we changed our toothpaste for one that doesn't contain titanium, non-aluminium deodorants and paraben free soaps and creams. It is quite scary when you look into what we actually do to ourselves just by living and how much of it can be stopped, if we just spend a few extra minutes reading the contents of what we buy.

So coffee has been killed, the first week was full of headaches because of it and since that I know it isn't a bad thing to quit. Rooibos with honey for me thanks, Estate does those too and all organic to boot.

As for crisps? We have switched to grapes for 3 weeks now instead of candy and chips and yes, this is just the beginning.
