11 Books Recommended by Krista Kaer
And just like that, Estonian summer is over. It was hot and sunny yesterday; today, it’s raining and it feels like autumn. How fortunate then, that I’ve just received a reading list from Krista Kaer, the book lover extraordinaire. For my non-Estonian readers..
7 Nordic Beauty Brands
I’ve wanted to do a post about Nordic (note that my use of the word “Nordic” is quite loose, including also the Baltics) skincare since I started the blog, but felt that I hadn’t done enough research and testing. I still haven’t done enough and the selection..
Scents of the Day: Part 7
Last year, I did a project called Scent of the Day. For a month, every day, I talked about a scent on Facebook. I have been asked by friends to make these musings available on the blog, as it’s impossible to find anything on Facebook. So I’ll copy my mini-re..
10+ Wonderful-Smelling Shower Gels

Summer Reading List
As you’re reading this blog, you probably know I like lists and I especially like lists of books. I’m constantly reading reviews and recommendations and listing the books I want to read – on one hand, I enjoy the process, on the other, I also find the lists ..
The ‘Oh, Shit!’ Body Kit
You know those ridiculous articles in women’s magazines that promise you a beach body in 2/3/4 weeks, depending on the general ridiculousness level of the magazine? Aren’t these the worst? They are. When I’ve got a surplus of sarcasm, I like to direct it tow..
7+ Best Chanel Fragrances
Chanel clothes do nothing for me. There were a couple of seasons about a decade ago that I liked and in every collection, there is something I would love to own, but generally, Karl’s megalomania is just getting progressively more boring. If you strip away t..
