10 Serge Lutens Fragrances to Try/Buy Now
Serge Lutens is in the process of revamping its export (read: cheaper and more accessible) perfume line. I will again refer you to this article for more details, as I do not have the space nor the energy to go through all of it here. What is relevant for our..
Summer 2017 (hahahahahaa!) Reading List: Genre
Well, technically it IS still summer. But yeah, I admit, I’m rather late with this. It’s what happens when you order stuff from Book Depository and the parcels arrive one-by-one over two weeks and then you go on holiday before you manage to gather them all. ..
3 Lunch/Dinner Ideas for When You’re Alone
Because I tend to be quite extroverted in the company of others, people are often surprised that I like to be alone. In fact I desperately need to be alone, to recharge and recover, and I love it. I’m not necessarily very good at it, though, as I shed all tr..

10 Books About Slavery and Racism
I’m not a reader who by nature gravitates towards dark, difficult books. Every time I pick up something that I suspect is going to show me things that I’d rather pretend don’t exist, I do it with reluctance (the other thing I hate as much as the feeling of p..
Spring Updates
It feels a bit strange writing this, as I’m not entirely sure spring has properly arrived in Brussels and Tallinn, while in Senegal – where I am now – things are obviously way past what I’d usually call spring. Still, the blog is a monster that needs to be f..

This is the second part of my Korean skincare overview – including only the latest purchases, mind you. If you’re interested in an introduction, go and read part 1: I don’t really have any new ideas. This bit covers serums and masks and a bubble peel pad for..
