Bargains for the Beach
I was going to blog about something totally different, until I got distracted by the sale at Yves Rocher. Everything in the Monoi range just half the price! This means practically free, considering that Yves Rocher is an inexpensive range to start with. I us..
A Pretty Teacup
Most people I know have a personal, somehow meaningful coffee mug: in a favourite colour, possibly, or with a witty slogan. I am very much in favour of this honourable practice and have a couple of Penguin mugs myself. I also plan to get this Reading is My S..
Rose and Cardamom Coffee
Today was meant to be the day for my new style/mood post, as I haven’t done one in a while. But when I woke up, it was dark and raining and cold, so no chance for even half-decent pictures. I don’t like to complain about the weather, but this spring in Bruss..
A Notebook for Nerds
I’m somewhat of an unlikely nerd. Well, it doesn’t seem unlikely to me, but often seems to come as a surprise to others. Apparently, if you’re blond and wear red lipstick, you cannot be one. (Feminist is the other thing you cannot be with characteristics lik..
Mizon Hyaluronic Acid 100
I’ve been slowly making a dent in the Korean skincare I bought a while back. Not an easy task, considering the unreasonable amount of things I acquired, but there is one thing I have been using almost every day: Mizon Hyaluronic Acid 100. As this is the one ..
Pa Amb Tomàquet
I have just got back from Barcelona and am still not recovered from this unfortunate turn of events. The sun, the sea, the crazy restaurant hours (I swear locals don’t even contemplate dinner before 10PM), the tapas, the seafood, all gone. To ease the transi..
Summer Cashmere
I will not hear a word against cashmere. I don’t care if it has a bit of a ladies-who-lunch image problem, I think it’s wonderful. It is warm, it is soft, it doesn’t add bulk and layers easily, it looks luxurious and feels lovely. If you live in the north, c..
Sheer Black Tights
I’m afraid this is going to be one of those ‘solution’ posts most people think solves nothing. I’m sticking to my guns, however, as this has been a hard-won victory. I’m not a very vengeful person by nature, but I have a strong sense of justice: as child, I ..
Lumi Moisturizing Cleansing Milk
If you have been here before, you might already know I have a thing for proper cleansing and good cleansers. I have about ten of them in regular rotation and I’m very picky about the quality, with Eve Lom, Omorovicza, Tata Harper, Sunday Riley and Tatcha cle..
Chanel Stylo Eyeshadows
One of the biggest mysteries of the universe – right after the meaning of life and the Higgs boson – is why Chanel doesn’t make its Stylo Eyeshadows a permanent part of its make-up collection. Stylos appear now and then as limited editions, sell out in 7 sec..
