9 Key Trends For Spring
I apologise to my Estonian and other Nordic readers, who probably feel it’s too early to talk about spring clothes. In Brussels, it’s getting properly warm and new season apparel is arriving in stores, so I think it’s a good time to start at least planning y..
Three Luxury Cleansers: Omorovicza, Tracie Martyn and Leahlani
I have quite a few things to tell you on the skincare front, both when it comes to products and my routine as a whole. When I started writing the skincare update, I realised it’s impossible to cover it all in one post with any level of detail. I have therefo..
13 Books I Read In January
I had a very good start to my reading year, both in terms of quality and quantity. As a result of the latter, my views are going to be expressed rather laconically: I don’t want the post to be three pages long. If you are particularly interested in something..
February Memo: Writing, Spider-Man & Not Buying Stuff
It was my birthday last week which coincided with me feeling suboptimal for quite a few days, so I’ve been absent from the blog and social media (apologies to those whose comments I’ve left unanswered – I will get to it soon!). Fortunately, I have been resto..
4 Planning Tips For People Who Don’t Plan

Best of 2018: Smells
The world of fragrance has exploded in the last decade, and its impossible to test everything that is launched – because of the sheer volume, but also access and cost. I used to properly test (a full day on my arm, checking in regularly) many things, out of ..
Best of 2018: Life & Style
I always like to see what really, truly works for people: even if it’s not something that would be right for me, I find it interesting and instructive. So I’ve gathered here a few of my favourite things from this year that do not fit into the best of skincar..
Best of 2018: Books
I just had a year-end chat with a friend that went something like: it was a decent year – daughter happy, work fine, reading good. And it was, although I have been somewhat frustrated with my reading recently; more about this next year. I have written about ..
Best of 2018: Makeup
I admit this title is misleading, as it’s in no way a comprehensive assessment of stuff that came out in 2018. Firstly, I don’t buy that much makeup any more. Mind you, I still buy much more than an average person, but I don’t test as much as I do with skinc..
Best of 2018: Skincare
It is that time of the year again. I’m going to tell you what I liked in 2018 – in beauty, books, style and everything else. It is obviously a highly subjective take, as even with my level of obsession, there is a limited amount of stuff I can try. There are..
