7 Things To Do When It’s (Almost) Christmas
It’s not fashionable to be too enthusiastic about Christmas and I can see why. It’s a holiday of overeating, overspending and overstressing; it also has a direct link to organised religion, not really a plus in my book. That’s not the fault of Christmas, tho..
15 Books I Read in October and November
I missed my traditional wrap-up in October, as I was travelling and then sick and when I recovered it was almost mid-November. I’m therefore doing an overview of two months’ reading today and will need to be rather laconic, otherwise it’ll be a terribly long..
November Memo: Chanel, Murakami and Warm Underwear
I’m back from Beirut, but managed to catch a virus as soon as I left the noble home of the Phoenicians, so I need some cheering up. I’m rather frustrated for not being able to post for a while, as I have things lined up that I really want to share. Anyway, f..
Autumn Edit: Skincare
September is usually the time when I return to my heavy-duty skincare, my retinols and strong acids and vitamin C. This overview is partly late because the weather has been extremely warm and one needs to be careful with actives in sunshine and partly becaus..
9 Books I Read in September
I’m late with my wrap-up, as I got sick in the end of September and that messed with my schedule. On the other hand, I got my reading mojo back in the second half of the month, so win some, lose some. Overall, I’m happy with this stack and glad it includes a..

Autumn Edit: Life
If you follow any lifestyle youtubers, you are probably familiar with the videos of people’s morning routines. You know, the ones where they wake up at 5.30am, have water with lemon, do their yoga, write their morning pages, eat a nutritious vegan breakfast ..
Autumn Edit: Fragrances
Suddenly, autumn is here – not just de jure, but also de facto. It was still 27 degrees on Wednesday, now it’s barely ten and raining hard. So it seems the right moment to start with my autumn edits, they no longer feel disconnected from reality. I’m in fact..
9 Books I Read in August
I am late with my August reading round-up and I’m also rather unhappy with the reading itself, or rather the quantity of it. I was hoping to read much more during my holiday, but my Estonian vacations tend to be extremely busy and this one was probably the w..
September Memo: Hemingway, L’Oreal Mascara and Tom Hiddleston
And the holidays are over, just like that. Generally, I tend to be excited for autumn and I am this year as well, but I feel that the 12-day vacation was simply too short. Whining about it does not help, however, so let’s focus on things I’m looking forward ..
