Défi minimaliste, le bilan

Début février, je vous parlais d’un défi minimaliste en 30 jours. Plus d’un mois après, l’heure du bilan a sonné ! J’ai vécu ce challenge de façon très personnelle et donc je ne savais pas trop quoi dire qui pouvait vous intéresser… Mais voici quand même mon témoignage.
J’ai eu du mal à tenir 30 jours entiers, car je fonctionne en « tout ou rien » : j’ai du mal à commencer quelque chose, mais quand je suis dedans je fais ça à fond, sans m’arrêter. Du coup le principe de mini-défi n’était pas le plus adapté, je trépignais au début car j’avais envie de tout faire d’un coup, mais je me suis vite découragée au bout de quelques jours…
Cependant, j’ai réussi à faire à peu près toutes les tâches concrètes (ranger, trier). Ces défis m’ont permis de faire un grand tri dans mon dressing (j’ai donné l’équivalent d’un grand sac poubelle de vêtements), de ranger enfin les produits de ma salle de bain, de réfléchir à ma consommation quotidienne… Par contre, pour les défis un peu plus « abstraits » (réfléchir à ses objectifs par exemple), je n’ai pas pris le temps de bien le faire… Il faut croire qu’il m’est plus facile de ranger mon appartement que ma tête ! Je vais réfléchir à des mono-défis, pour me faciliter la tâche.

THE MOST LUXURIOUS TYPES OF COFFEE WORLDWIDE

Most of us like to drink coffee in the morning, to help us get a little more awake. Some of us drink coffee all day long, it simply helps to get them through the day. Especially in big cities you can get your coffee-to-go around every corner.
Some types of coffee though, are very special: these are the three most luxurious types of coffee worldwide.
1. Kopi Luwak
This is an Indonesian type of coffee: ‘kopi’ means coffee and ‘luwak’ is an Indonesian animal, the Asian palm civet, that eats raw red coffee berries. The name Kopi Luwak refers to the beans of these coffee berries once they have been eaten and excreted by this animal. After the excretion, the beans are collected and used as a basis for this special type of coffee. Nowadays, Kopi Luwak is available worldwide. Although Kopi Luwak is a form of processing rather than a variety of coffee, it has been called the most expensive coffee in the world with retail prices reaching $350 per pound.
2. La Esmeralda
This coffee is very exclusive and also known as “Esmeralda Special”. Per harvest, only hundred bags are produced. It is originally from the Esmeralda Jaramillo farm in West-Panama. People say La Esmeralda is the purest type of coffee and has an ultimate taste. This taste comes from the cold climate, accurate harvesting and a special form of processing. Once you’ve tried this coffee, you never want anything else! La Esmeralda coffee costs around $170 per pound.
3. St. Helena Coffee
This type of coffee comes from a small, subtropical island called St. Helena, that is located in the South Atlantic. The coffee is made from a bean that only grows on this island: the ‘Green Tipped Bourbon Arabica’ bean. This bean is very vulnerable and should therefore be harvested carefully. To retain all the distinctive features of this coffee, processing must be done very carefully as well. The coffee has a unique scent and a very pleasant taste. St. Helena Coffee costs around $89 per pound.
