Obsessive Hydration: The Korean 7 Skin Method
I didn’t plan to blog about skincare today, but happened to watch Gothamista’s (she is one of my favourite beauty Youtubers) video about the 7 Skin Method yesterday and that got me inspired. In case you haven’t heard about this new Korean beauty craze – and ..
My Favourite Utilitarian Body Products
You know how they say that women are full of mystery? It is true. I definitely am – because how would one rationally explain the fact that I’m fanatical about my facial skincare but cannot be bothered to put anything on my body?

Love Stories Lingerie: A Bra Solution
Considering that I’m obsessed with an extremely wide variety of things – books, skincare, impractical dresses, strange perfumes, stews, Persia, stickers, biathlon and Tallinn sea views, to name a few – it’s a small miracle that I don’t really care about ling..
The Humble Vegetable Project: Spicy Beetroot Yogurt

The Best Rollneck for Layering
You know that feeling when a trend becomes ubiquitous and every magazine and Instagram influencer is trying to convince you to buy into it and you are totally on board and happy to oblige and like “yes, yes, I agree, no need to sell it to me any more” but yo..
(French) Onion Soup with Apple Cider
I have wanted to make this soup since mid-August, but have resisted, as the weather hasn’t been right. Is this normal behaviour? Possibly not, but I feel very strongly that onion soup is an early autumn dish, especially when it involves some apple booze. It ..
The Ordinary: For Skincare Geeks on a Budget
Some of you may remember how I pledged – more than a year ago – that Life in a Cold Climate is not going to be one of those ‘look, here’s a new product!’ type of blogs. And I still make an effort to see the bigger picture, to test things thoroughly before re..
