Summer 2017 Reading List: Non-Fiction
I like very few things more than making lists and buying books, so instead of one summer reading list, I’m going to have three. We’ll kick things off with non-fiction, mostly because I think fiction is getting a little arrogant, always coming first. And also..
Best Green Luxury Beauty: De Mamiel and 5 Other Options
This post has been in the making for months, if not years, but I’ve always felt that „oh, I still need to try this“ or „cannot really do it before I’ve used that“. Obviously, that’s not a very smart way to approach the topic, as I’ll never be able to test ev..

10 Books About Slavery and Racism

My Korean Skincare Stash Update Vol 1
When I did my first post on Korean skincare almost two years ago, the products seemed so exotic and the beauty rituals of Korean women mystical and incomprehensible. 10 steps! Snails! Sleeping packs! How far we’ve come, the barbarians of the West. Sheet mask..
Gucci Loafers and 6 Other Things For a New Job
Some of you know that I started a new job last week, joining the Estonian EU Presidency team for 10 months. I’m very excited: the work is going to be interesting and we’ll be doing great things. Less maturely, a new job also seems like a perfect excuse to bu..
Tom Ford Vert de Fleur and 9 Green Florals For Late Winter
As soon as the new year begins, I get tired of the comforting winter scents and start craving something that makes me think of spring. I have talked about my favourite white florals to wear in the cold, but this year I’ve been obsessed with greener options. ..
10 Young Adult Books I Keep Seeing Around (Vol 1)
If you’re not quite sure what “young adult” means when it comes to books, it’s the category that covers the Twilights, Hunger Games and Divergents of this world. They usually have protagonists who are in their late teens, often involve first love and coming ..
