Espresso House Pilestredet

It makes me so happy that Espresso House opened on Piletredet inb Oslo, also that they seem to come from Sweden.

The girls, yes I say girls are amazingly sweet and full of smiles. They all even look alike...

The prices are very steep - 71 kr for a bacon and mozarella sandwich, served warm after 4 minutes on the grill. Apparently all food except for muffins is made in house by the girls. And if you save your morning coffee receipt you can after the clock turns 14:00 get a new coffee for half price but make sure it is PAST 14:00 not 13:59! The rebate doesn't work in the register before 14:00!

I have been meaning to review them earlier, however haven't been triggered since everything is good. However yesterday I saw some new small sweet muffins, they look smaller than half of the normal muffisn for 32 NOK. And guess what! They were 23 NOK for a 2 bite muffin! Wow that was really steep.

The Espresso House on Pilestredet also seems to be a training facility nowadays. This is logical since the girl in charge is amazingly good and her colleagues know their stuff being baristas and having marketing degrees! However small things like always putting a napkin in the take out bags, making sure that the sandwich in the grill actually is inserted all the way in.

The long tables invite people to not think only about their personal space, the patriots are mostly during the day from the college with a few older patriots here and there. The bathroom is clean and fresh. A must when the door opens straight into a lean chair.

One day I think I saw one of the owners or leaders stop in, she was quite loud and did not go in the back around the counter but just spoke straight over the counter in between customers. Customer even had to move out of her way and she took the girls attention away from the customers they were helping.

It is all about the coffee and I must say that the coffee is very good. All portions are actually doubles but quite pricy. If I order a cortado with a little more milk they call it a flat white and the price is very much higher for a cm more of milk.

I am there every day, I have seen these girl grow from the day they opened. I can taste differences in the bacon and mozarella sandwiches depending on who makes them, they differ in amount of quacamole, the chili pieces in the quacamole and how they are warmed. Sometimes they are very greasy and sometimes less greasy.

I leave there with a smile on my face, either from the smiling and smart girl in charge, or the service from the barista with the marketing degree, however I think more business could be generated if they didn't have twice as expensive food (almost) than their competition. Their sallads are small and have minut amounts of chicken, bacon or shrimp. They look nice buy open the top and you realize that you could have gotten at least twice as much sallad or sandwich at the competition.

They have a 10% rebate card, if you prepay  your get 10% however if you have 1 NOK less on your card you cannot pay this in cash, you have to refill the card before getting the 10%. This is not the case at Waynes! Makes things a little more complicated.

Overall I really like Espresso House, that is why I want them to be able to compete better and that is is only the personnel at the establishment that make you come back.

Lorry - location and history isn't enough anymore

Nothing, absolutely nothing except for the Swedish waiter and the very rare meat was good at Lorry! The meat was done correctly but the french fries were burnt, the sauce was cold and the vegetables under the meat were too hard and ice cold. Too bad!

Detox/fast dag 5-7- 10

Not hungry but bloated. Don't know why.  66.7 kg, down 4 kg in 4 days. Last day of Pyour detox. Day 5 on the Neera lemon juice fast. Been good and not had any coffee, I can't do this and also go off caffeine. I will be walking by a few coffee places so we'll see how disciplined I am.

16:43... Shaky and a little hungry. Pee smells weird which is a good thing.

Day 7
All god but as son as i have à cup of coffee something quickly comes out the other end. 55.3 kg! Yeahhhhhhhh but I am very light headed.
I did think that I would be walking around uh grey but no.

Day 10
All done - I could keep going this was GREAT!!!

Beth's Medispa test

I have now tried out many treatments at Beth's Medispa. I was at the opening and have followed them since then with evenly timed treatments, from Botox to hair laser removal to Ulthera.

I must say that, yes it costs but at the same time the personnel knows their stuff and follow you up in an amazing and very personal way. They give you honest feedback regardless if it gives them less or no money. I have left an appointment without doing anything since the doctor actually did not think I needed it. Plus points delux!

The only thing I haven't been offered in the Medispa is something to drink while waiting, but then I have never had to wait. They are on time, take their time and give you their utmost attention.

I am due for some touch-ups...but my wallet will not allow it at the moment. But it doesn't matter how long between your visits they know exactly your status regarding treatments and they never push.

Beth's Medispa - you always make me feel welcome and safe!

Beth's Medispa

Beth's Medispa is the only Ulthera Premiere clinic in Oslo!

Over 200 procedures by Dr Scott Schener at Beth's Medispa! This is an amazing procedure! I have tried it and the results are very clear. It takes some time before you see the results but they come, be sure!

Congratulations! Beth's' MediSpa

Detox delux days, Neera Lemon juice detox and Pyour detox

Day 4 evening
God i feel bloated! Yucky

Day 4
Slept for over 11 hours! It's been a long time I slept for that long! It is Sunday so I went for a cortado. I know that coffee is a no no but after getting up on the scale and finding out I lost 4kgs in 3 days! Must be careful it can't go too well! ;-) it feels good but I can feel that cortado is not the best for my boy now. What will happen to me if my body keeps telling me to only eat nutritious stuff? Shit ;-)...

Day 3 evening...
All is well but had to have a few almonds and walnuts. Drank a lot of water.

Day 3
I am beat, not hungry but shaky. Had to eat some almonds to stop shaking. See food commercials everywhere...irritating but not really hungry. I want sweets not food. Let's hope day 4 is easier!

Day 1-2
I started 2 detox systems 3 days ago. The Pyour detox and the Neera Lemon juice detox. The first is a five day detox you drink on an empty stomach . The other you drink all day. It consists of lemon juice, natural tree syrup, cayenne pepper and water...for 10 days! What the hell was I thinking?

I thought for sure that I would die of hunger...but no, after two days my bloated stomach has gone down, I pee a lot and I am only hungry for munchies in the late night watching tv. It is a fast that cleanses you the pamphlet states, well it feels that way on day 3. However I am not all 'here' and planning that day 3-4 is on a weekend is smart. No brilliant ideas now, just a feeling of not being all 'there'.

Will be back tomorrow with more info...:-)
