WORLD’S STRONGEST COFFEE BY DEATH WISH COFFEE

Seeing that we run on coffee here at HiConsumption, it’s no surprise that Death Wish Coffee immediately piqued our interest.

Let’s face it, we all drink coffee for one thing; caffeine. We are among the crowd of individuals who don’t quite understand why people consume decaf coffee on a daily basis, and if you happen to be in that boat, then this product will serve of little interest to you. Death Wish Coffee has been crowned the world’s strongest coffee. Packing two times the caffeine than that of a standard cup of coffee, you may be able to increase daily work output by 200% as well. Not only is it powerful, but it tastes great as well.

Bronze on Oil Slick The signature paper!

Skull-king about

Hmmm, according to our Brit friends at MyDeco the skull motif is skulking its way to become a fashion icon. Check out the wallpaper from Beyond the Moon -- bronze flocked on bronze velvet pile -- available in black/gunmetal and gold -- in case you were wondering.

So while boho chic is out, death is very much in, and with Halloween looming at the end of the week we need to start embracing the darker side!

Momento Mori

Momento Mori is a Latin Phrase that when translated states “remember that you are mortal”, the term became widely used in the 15th century and synonymous with the term “carpe diem” or seize the day. These sayings and icons are visual reminders that life on earth is fleeting and one should live every day to its fullest potential.

Mori ex Cacao

The most tempting thing to grace my screen this morning is the D.L. & Co’s Mori Ex Cacao Skulls… Particularly this black Curious Chili “An eccentric blend of chilies and spices immersed in smooth chocolate ganache, generating a warmth that rises to an almost deadly heat, before leaving you spent, yet craving more.” Take a look at the other two skulls as well as the gift box trio below! In Bitter White Brandied Cherry and Scorched Caramel, how can you resist?

Cristal Head Vodka

The internet is a buzz with rumors on the latest “viral” video of Dan Aykroyd showing us his new Crystal Head Vodka in a gorgeous glass skull. Rumors include this being a video for the new Ghostbusters or some Indiana Jones… but i guess lesson to be learned here is ~ just because it’s going viral, doesn’t mean it’s not real!

I actually bought a few bottles today ~ lots of pics on the next page! Not the smooooothest thing i’ve tasted, but it’s not bad, and i’m totally in love with the glass skull bottle made by Bruni Glass in Milan, Italy. Apparently it is made byDiamond Estates Wines & Spirits Ltd, out of Newfoundland water triple crystal filtered through herkimer diamonds (aka double-terminated quartz crystals)! Really the story is just great though, and the video and bottle make the experience priceless ~ here are excerpts from the box: “In reverence of those enlightened after touching any of the thirteen crystal heads unearthed around our globe we offer this pure spirit”… “One of the most compelling archeological mysteries is the story of the 13 Crystal Heads. These heads are believed to be between 5,000 and 35,000 years old and were carved over a period of several hundred years but without any tool marks. In fact their very construction defies the laws of physics and common logic. They are believed to offer spiritual power to those who hold or possess them.”
