Summer = dresses in my book. Well, actually, any season does, but as soon as the first rays of summer sunshine start peeping through my windows I automatically reach for a dress. If I go through the laundry I did in the past couple of weeks I’ve worn a total…

Continue reading →: 2014 albums (so far)
So far 2014 is proving to be a great year for music. It has seen a couple of great new releases and in my personal case I also discovered plenty of older albums in the mean time. I thought it would be nice to make a tally of a few…

Continue reading →: My neutral drugstore lipsticks
Nude or neutral lips: not necessarily my cup of tea. Finding the perfect ‘my lips but better’ shade can be a pain and often I just think: what’s the point?! You could manage just fine with a layer of sheer lip balm to create a similar effect. Yet, because of…

Continue reading →: My phone cases
My smartphone isn’t the latest, snazzy, flashy model. I still have my trusty (and by now ancient) Samsung Galaxy S II. I’ve had this phone for 3 years now and I have no intention of getting a new one yet. It still works perfectly fine and looks in mint condition.…

Continue reading →: Sandal ready feet
I dance and that’s a very fun thing to do. The only thing not so fun? A thing I call “dancer’s feet”: callouses, dry patches and overall ugly looking feet if not taken care of properly. And with summer, like any other person, I want to wear sandals and shows…

Continue reading →: Monthly favorites (July 2014)
A bit later than usual, but after last week’s travel blog extravaganza I thought I’d bring back my usual schedule as quickly as possible. So instead of posting my monthly favorites on the last day of the month, I decided to have this as a ‘various’ post on Sunday. I…

Continue reading →: Kiko products review
Last Monday I showed you the purchases I made during my 22 day trip across Europe and back. I went to Italy and when in Italy, a make up loving gal like myself has to hit up Kiko. And hit it up I did. I already showed you a peek…

Continue reading →: Perfect beach outfits
Summer time = beach time. I went to the beach last week and some of you may be going away to a sunny destination. I am not one for lying on a beach and bake in the hot sun, but I do like to hit up the beaches near my…

Continue reading →: Tuned up Thursday: music on the road
Spending 3 weeks on trains makes for plenty of time for listening to tons of music. Or so I thought in advance. I ended up listening to little music during my trip. I know! Shock! It’s not because I didn’t want to listen to music, but because I found something…

Continue reading →: 30 day make up challenge #10: Black
Is anyone with me on a love/hate relationship with black eyeshadow? Don’t get me wrong, black eyeshadow is a staple color to have, but I hardly ever reach for it. To me, it’s a bit too dark, too much and usually makes my small eyes look even smaller. But for…

Continue reading →: Recipe: Easy grilled chicken & oven roasted veggies
I hardly ever use cookbooks or recipes to prepare my meals. Only when I try to make something specific will I grab my homemade recipe book, that has everything tried and true in one spot. No, I am a ‘come-as-you-go’ type cook. I simply buy ingredients and chuck them together…

Continue reading →: InterRail shoplog: cosmetics & fashion
I allowed myself to do a bit of shopping in each city I was in. I mostly shopped beauty bits as they are small and not heavy, so they’re easy to pack and not too heavy. I didn’t really shop for clothes until the end of my trip. Shopping for…

Continue reading →: Interrail #7: Copenhagen
My 9th and final stop of the trip was Copenhagen. Together with Barcelona this city was high on my ‘to visit’ list (especially after watching Borgen earlier this year) and so I stayed here for 3 days so I’d really have some time to see the city. By this time…

Continue reading →: Interrail #6: Vienna, Prague, Berlin
At the halfway point of my trip and I was about to visit 3 different cities in less than a week. From Venice, I set off on a day filled with traveling to the Austrian capital of Vienna. It took me straight through the Alps and made for some fairytale…

Continue reading →: Interrail #5: Milan & Venice
Eight days into my trip and I would be swopping lovely Spain for lovely Italy. Would you believe me if I said that I had never been to Italy before? Well I hadn’t and I can tell you: I’m in love! A Rome trip has quickly gotten kicked up my…
