Liquid Joy
People sometimes look at me funny when they find out about my love of coffee. But aren’t you some kind of health nut? (Hippie-dippie, tree-hugging freak, that’s me!) And coffee’s not exactly a “health food,” is it? (I would argue that’s debatable. Check here, here and here.) No cheese but coffee, yes? (No baby nourishment by-product […]

City Grrrl
Last night, my friend generously hooked me up with a free ticket to see Cansei de Ser Sexy courtesy of one of her roommates. (Thanks Danielle!) I didn’t know this awesome Brazilian band before and had been missing out. Hard-core women rocking out are the best. Since I was a little girl, my secret wish has been […]

PB&J
I will never get tired of the classic nut butter and jelly combo. Salty, sweet, buttery and if you buy/make chunky nut butter (which is always a must in my book) crunchy. Heaven. I may or may not have made almond butter and thrown it in a wrap with cherry jam and a banana for dinner. […]

Blog Lovin’
I’m all wrapped up in trying to study so there’s not much excitement to share. (Trying would be the operative word there.) But I did read this post from one of my favorite bloggers today and thought I’d share it. I found it incredibly relatable, honest and inspiring. Though this blog has definitely evolved since […]

Thanks
I’ve realized that you might have been reading this blog the past few months and been wondering what is going on. Is this a food blog? Is this a vegan lifestyle blog? Is this a travel blog? Is this a let-me-share-every-mundane-random-thought-I-have blog? If you have thought any of the above (and probably more) I would […]

Le Bux
A few weeks ago, Starbucks opened at Bogazici. This is dangerous. And this picture is sketchy. But then, so am I.

I’ve become a master at using the squatty potty. No more awkwardly trying to hide a pee-soaked boot. (I have no shame. I’ll admit that happened.) No more holding it praying I make it until I get to one of the buildings with a “modern WC.” That might be more than you cared to know. […]

Mocha
Today, I decided to take a walk on the wild side and throw a square of this into my rice milk as I warmed it up for my coffee. I usually love the darkest chocolate I can get my paws on and was excited to create this mocha-latte of sorts. It tasted like no mocha […]

Vagabond
Yesterday, between sketchin’ around Sultanahmet and meeting up with some friends in Taksim, I wandered around my favorite part of the city, Cihangir. And took more pictures of inanimate objects. 3 goals for the coming weeks: – Take more pictures involving people. (Including myself even though I hate it.) – Make use of my museum […]

Hay Que Tocar
“Ey, Anna, mamacita. Hay que tocar. Hay que mirar. Eres preciosa.” It should be noted for the reference of salesmen at the Grand Bazaar that attacking me, deciding to name me Anna (Umm why? Racist and not very creative.) and flattery will not motivate me to buy from you. Even if you do get points […]
