The French have just came out with one of the wackiest ideas on how you can enjoy your chocolate and coffee. With Le Whif chocolate you don’t have to chew your chocolate anymore. The product is contained in a small lipstick-sized tube housing up to eight puffs of organic chocolate or coffee particles small enough to be airborne, that you consume by breathing through your mouth.
Innovative and no doubt gimmicky, Le Whif is an alternative way to enjoy the taste of chocolate without worrying about extra calories. LaboShop, the design and innovation store behind this creation claims that each puff contains less than one calorie.
Getting a quick caffeine does from a tube seems plausible but I’d much prefer to enjoy munching on a chocolate bar even if all that calories would show up on my thighs later.;)
Available at Laboshop in 4 flavors : pure chocolate, raspberry chocolate, mint chocolate and coffee.

Danish Flora Danica Porcelain Set
The Flora Danica porcelain set, based on a botanical book of the same name, is considered one of the greatest artistic craftsmanship achievements in Denmark. Originally created by one of the greatest porcelain painters Johann Christoph Bayer in 1790, it was commissioned by King Christian VII to the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory as a gift to Tsarina Catharine II of Russia. Catherine the Great died in 1796, before the design of the 1,802 pieces, which took a total of 12 years to bring to whole, was completed.
Meticulously hand painted and beautifully decorated, each piece of dinnerware from the collection is a delightful work of art. I especially love the round dish above. The colors and the details are simply exquisite.
More beautiful pieces from the collection — square tray, cake dish, teapot, cup, saucer, ice bell and stand.
