when spring is near and nature is ready to wake up, i seek ways to get rid of the old and start anew. i want to declutter my whole house, go running as often as possible (once a week should do, surely?) and basically try new things. along with the more obvious changes, my skinContinue reading
it almost became a running gag how the food i cook gets the better pictures than i get of myself. it’s more than a little bit true, though. pathetic selfless, need i say more? there is a time and age where selfies shouldn’t be part of the game anymore. but of course, if you’re moreContinue reading
last weekend’s wedding filled me up with lots of romantic notions. it was such a generous, beautiful, and inspiring feast of love. it’s difficult to describe, really. but, do you know the children’s book about the mouse who in the summer can’t be bothered to harvest nuts and fruit like all of it’s fellow miceContinue reading
this is my favorite beauty product of the month october: caudalie eau de beauté. it’s a spa-flavored (meaning minty, rosemary, herby kind of smell) mist that hydrates, smoothes and refines the skin and makes it radiate with essential oils and ingredients like grape-seed and orange blossom essences. apparently, it’s based on queen isabella of hungary’sContinue reading
many things have been said and written about the benefit of a good tonic water. not only do i love the refreshing effect this one has, but i also love the look and feel of santa maria novella’s “acqua di rose”. purification paired with a divine smell? yes please! use it on your face andContinue reading
i’ve always dreamt of the perfect skin - golden, glowing, even, dewy looking, immaculate. some people really do look like they’re photoshopped. sadly, i’m not one of them. i’ve never really been blessed with flawless skin… my skin rather falls into the category ‘troublesome’: mid afternoon, my t-zone starts to get oily, while the cheeksContinue reading
my latest secret weapon: estée lauder’s advanced night repair. it fights the bad things in life in your sleep. i tell you, it’s a miracle tool, good for your inside and your outside. and, you know, when you feel good from the outside you can improve your inside, too. i must say, some super excitingContinue reading
a lot of women i know would never wear their hair piled up in a - more or less - mess (like me). they often look at me funny when i do, though (which is, pretty much, every day…). because to them, there is no alternative to wearing their hair open (except maybe for theContinue reading
i’m a fan of all musky scents. ever since a friend of mine introduced me to this amazing, powdery perfum, i can’t seem to get enough of it. it’s like my drug. at first, it smells slightly of cleaning dergent. but give it a mere ten minutes, and it fully develops its lovely, deep sweet,Continue reading
i’m going to be all mean on you and tell you this: i’m off for a long(ish) spa weekend now! i’ve got to relax a little and clear my head (and maybe eat some really good food, like, three times a day…). i’m talking beautiful scenery (the snowy woods on all sides of the hotel),Continue reading
