Spice it up!


Have you ever heard  of Golden Milk? In the season of flu and running noses it might not be the worst idea to drink it. Lately, I’ve been more concerned about what I eat on a daily basis and as I was putting more thought into it, I’ve encountered an interesting recipe. Turmeric Golden Milk is supposed to be The Ancient Drink that will change your life – seduced by this bold statement,  I’ve decided to click in the link and find out how so. And well, it probably won’t come to you as a surprise if I tell you how long was the list of it’s benefits. Calms your stomach, aids digestion, helps you relax due to its soothing properties, etc. The preparation time was calculated to 2 minutes and I basically couldn’t ruin it. I didn’t need more encouragement. I went for it and to my surprise it even turned out to be tasty. That’s why I decided to share it with you. So, to prepare Golden Milk you will need:
- 1 cup of milk (if you’re lactose intolerant or vegan: use coconut or almond milk)
- 2 teaspoons of honey (vegan: agave or maple syrup)
- ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon of ground turmeric
- ½ teaspoon of ground ginger
- additional: 1 teaspoon of peanut or almond butter
Now all you have to do is to combine all the ingredients, heat over medium heat- do not let it boil (whisking so that the almond/peanut butter won’t stick to the bottom), pour into the mug and enjoy it 😉

Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera exhibition

It’s the last call for everyone who’s interested in visiting the Frida Kahlo exhibition in Poznań. It will be held until 21 st of January in Centrum Kultury ZAMEK in Poznań. The exhibition is there from September and has so far attracted a lot of visitors from all around the country. The organiser of the event says that that’s the first and only exhibition of Kahlo’s and Diego Rivera’s works with the “polish accent” (barely known polish thread concerning their artistic creation). You can purchase the tickets online or directly at the museum, but please consider that there’s a big likelihood of crowds, specially during the last weekend. For any further information, you can contact the official website.

Christmas Traditions

We’re all used to Polish Christmas traditions and they don’t seem to be weird for us but some foreigners might find them unusual. Just like we consider many of  their habits quite bizarre. Here’s the list of 8 that I find particularly different. 1.        In Austria, parents threat their children with Krampus- the evil brother of Santa that comes overnight on 5 th and 6 th of December and punishes bad kids. He’s truly scary and has goat’s horns on his head. During this night we may encounter many people dressed as Krampus in the streets. 2.        Japanese eat KFC on Christmas Day. 3.        In India the traditional Christmas tree is a banana or mango tree. 4.        Women in Czech Republic  have a tradition to make some predictions or foretells during the Holiday. For example they throw a shoe over the shoulder and if it lays in the way that the...

In 2015: More people have died by taking selfies than by shark attacks

Although people tend to be afraid of shark attacks, the fear is not entirely justified and it most likely a result of movies fiction than being a witness of one.  In fact, in 2015, there have been twelve recorded selfie deaths in comparison to eight people dying because of shark attacks. Most of the selfie-related deaths have been due to falling. The next most common is when people are trying to take a selfie, and they're hit by a moving vehicle. In order to get a good shoot people risk more and more. Everyone wants to have an unique picture.  Some are crossing the line and in exchange for likes are taking the whole selfie thing a little too far. In Russia selfie deaths have become so popular that the government even released a guide detailing how not to die while taking a picture of yourself.
