Anyone else totally feeling those winter blues? I think the season combined with the strict lockdown has been building up on me. I bought this cute little book from @indigo and it brightened my day.
Fika: The Swedish concept of a ritual coffee break.
This colour is super aesthetically pleasing to me and the contents even more so. Fika is all about taking the time to have a little coffee/tea/whatever you fancy break during the day. It’s about savouring the moment of pouring the hot water into your mug and slicing a piece of cake for yourself.
I took a note from the Swedish and made a cinnamon cake to go with my tea. It felt nice to step away from my work screen for a moment. When I returned I felt refreshed and more productive.

Fika (fee-ka) is a social coffee break with one's colleagues, friends, date or family.
It is usually accompanied with sweet baked goods.
It can be a noun (let's have fika) or a verb ( shall we fika?) describing the act.

The Book tells us about this uplifting daily ritual of the Swedish Coffee Break and the essentials we need to follow to enjoy it ourselves!

FIKA 101
1. SET THE TIME - It's important to fix a time for the break and dedicate it to only one thing.
2. ADJUST YOUR MINDSET - The place and time isn't important, what is crucial is your mindset.
3. BREW THE BREW - Coffee isn't a mandatory drink. It can be anything. If you love tea, why not drink Tea!
✨

A lot of Coffee and Life quotes and proverbs sprinkled all over the book making it a feel good read!

When they say "little" book of fika, they mean little. Why would I pick up a book on the ritual of the Swedish coffee break, when I don't like or drink coffee? I'm crazy. And I'm on a Nordic kick. Plus the book itself looks very pretty. Overall, I'd say the book was enjoyable, but fluffy. (Yes, still enjoyable, even for a non-coffee drinker.) This book can be split into two-- the first half defines the concept of fika, the little coffee breaks Swedes are fond of. These coffee breaks sound slow, mindful, and just generally pleasant. The second half is recipes: drinks, pastries, treats.
