I've had a weak spot for London since the first time I've visited that city around 20 years ago. It's a city that there's always something new to discover. As I've visited London so many times, it's a bit of "been there, done that" when it comes to the regular tourist trap-places like London Eye, Tower of London etc. Luckily, there's the possibility to travel a little bit "deeper", thanks to AirBnB experiences.
If you want to do and see something a bit different during your stay in London, you could consider one or more of these 10 AirBnB experiences.

Making a Home; Tips for Hosting a Garden Party
Are you going to host a garden party this summer? If you are, you are in luck, because today I'll talk a bit about hosting a garden party.
It doesn't need to be too difficult. One major thing is to keep things as simple as possible. Why? Because it is supposed to be fun and nobody wants to be around a stressed out host and nobody wants to be the stressed out host.
If you can, prep as much as you can in advance, that includes the food. The more stuff that can be done in advance, the more time you've got for your guests and you can enjoy the party a bit more. Also, don't be afraid to delegate tasks if you need an extra set of hands.

Friday Finds; 6 Places For Your Coffee Fix in Stavanger
I'm not going to deny that I have a weak spot for Stavanger. I've spent a lot of time there, both as a kid and as a grown up. I've got fond memories of visiting my father's aunt living in Stavanger east or in general visiting a bunch of museums with my parents. As an adult I've not only studied in Stavanger, but I'm also currently working at an indie bookstore.
After all that time spent in Stavanger, I do have quite a few favourite spots. Today I wanted to talk about a few of my favourite coffee places in Stavanger.
Coffeeberry (Klubbgata)
Coffeeberry got a vintage feel when it comes to the decor, but they've also got good coffee and great baristas.
Helmer Te&Kaffe (Breigata)
Helmer Te&Kaffe is a combo of a shop and a coffee place with really charming atmosphere. They also have some really cosy benches outside where you can drink your coffee.
Brostein Kafé (Øvre Strandgate)
Beans on Wheels (various locations)
Street Coffee Stavanger (various locations)
Espresso House (Byterminalen)

Brostein Kafé (Øvre Strandgate)
Brostein Kafé is really cosy and is situated just across the Norwegian Canning Museum in Old Stavanger, so it's a bit off the beaten path, but still very accessable at a charming location.
Beans on Wheels (various locations)
Beans on Wheels is a coffee bike with really yummy coffee. Once I was lucky enough to try a Snickers Latte. As it is a coffee bike, they don't have a fixed location.
Street Coffee Stavanger (various locations)
Another coffee bike without any fixed location, but you can often find it at Domkirkeplassen during the summer months if the weather allows it.
Espresso House (Byterminalen)
Espresso House is one of my favourite go-to places in Stavanger for coffee. Not only is the coffee good, but the baristas are also really sweet and it has really cool interior. An added bonus is that it's right beside the train station.

Making a Home; Storage Options For Small Spaces
I live
in a 45 square meter small flat, so it’s not like I have that much space especially
with the floor plan in mind. Due to the floor plan, I don’t have enough space
for a freaking kitchen/dining table, so when I’m eating, I’m forced to eat it
on the couch in the living room area. It’s fair to say that whether or not I
want to, I’ve got an excuse for not hosting any dinner parties.
Due to
lack of floor space, I’ve learned a few tricks over the years in terms of
storage solutions. One of the biggest one is probably don’t buy anything I can’t
properly store in my flat. If I don’t have the space for it, I don’t buy it. It
might sound a bit harsh, but I do want to see the floor in my flat and I want
my flat to look a bit organized and tidy, so there is a purpose behind the
thought of not purchasing anything that I can’t store somewhere.
Another
thing that I have a big crush on is dual purpose furniture, especially if it is
in terms of storage options. The bed FJELL and the foot stool KIVIK, both from
IKEA has storage solutions incorporated into the design. Of course one might
risk that the storage options end up being full sooner or later, which leads me
to a very important point that I talked about earlier in this post; don’t buy
stuff you don’t have the space for. It doesn’t help how cute or cheap or
whatever it is. If you don’t really like it, need it nor have the space for it,
why purchase it?
Great
storage solutions for small spaces and small spaces in general for that matter,
is dependent on that you don’t have too much stuff/clutter to begin with. I’m
not saying go minimalist galore unless you really want to, but I’m saying that
it’s important to use your brain and consider everything you bring into your
home.
Here is
a couple of links for additional great storage solutions for small spaces; 15 Kitchen Organization Ideas and 43 Over The Toilet Storage Ideas For Extra Space
Do you
have any great tips or tricks in terms of small space storage? Feel free to

Monday; Fish Fingers
Tuesday; Spaghetti Bolognese
Wednesday; Leftovers
Thursday; Fish Cakes
Friday; Leftovers
