objects i am currently desiring (very much so), to add a bit of sparkle and glamor to my home: 1. a faux coral stand (e.g. via pottery barn)2. black crystal book ends (no clue where to find)3. a gold skull (piggie bank) (e.g. via urban outfitters)4. a porcelain chic ashtray (i wouldn’t mind it beingContinue reading
some things i experience turn into a nice story that i really like to share with you. like, yesterday night after our presentation and a dinner in the old town of zurich, i walked home and the sky smelt of jasmine. it was like in a fairy tale or something. dreamy! it felt good toContinue reading
yesterday night my beautiful and sweet friend nina who loves to cook & bake just like me came over for a simple dinner, an extensive chat à deux and some baking. we made some faux chocolate maccarons filled with crème double and berries. delicious. i’m sorry, i’m in a bit of a hurry tonight; i’veContinue reading
this was a week full of ups and downs. i got very nice feedback at the agency, which is pushing me to perform even better. it’s really a good thing, my professional life. and while i thought my private (i.e. date) life is pretty much a disaster it seems i’m not actually as unlucky asContinue reading
to create my personal wall of fame is a project that i started to think about at least two years ago. so far, i haven’t realized it, let alone start with just one picture… but i have at least already some ideas as to what to put up on the wall! illustrations that i cameContinue reading
halleluljah! it’s finally summer. i’ve been craving the easiness of living that summer provides for a long time. i blamed the absence of summer for not feeling as cheerful as i normally am. normally, whenever the sun is shining, i feel like it lifts my spirits, shines right into my heart and makes me smileContinue reading
it’s only monday - but i’m already exhausted… last week in belgium was inspiring and fun - but i just didn’t get around to doing all the chores (ugh, the word alone…) at home (like cleaning, ironing, bills or even simply grocery shopping). plus the lovely weather last weekend didn’t really help, either: i struggledContinue reading
that was a busy week… i will leave antwerpen today and fly back to zurich (via vienna… i’ll never arrive at home…). what are your beautiful plans for the weekend? i’m planning on relaxing in the sun, playing a round of golf (tomorrow), have a sushi dinner, and see to my plants (that my flatmateContinue reading
serendipity. it’s one of my favorite words. it means finding something good without actually looking for it, while actually searching for other things. a lucky coincidence. the word derives from the persian ‘sarandp’ and arabic ‘sarandb’, which are old names for ‘sri lanka’. apparently, the english author horace walpole first created the word in 1754.Continue reading
this belgium trip really is fun - and so inspiring! i am only surrounded by males all day (data analysists, nerdy cute guys). i’ve learned a few things, got a lot of new ideas in stow, am bursting with action plans (existing in my mind). yesterday evening we watched soccer and (i) drank cherry beerContinue reading
