17 Songs for a Fabulous Life
Because I’ve been walking a lot and working out, I’ve been listening to music more than usual. This in turn has made me think about the music I like and why. If you guys thought my taste in movies was trashy, wait till you hear what kind of songs I like! It’..
A Dress for the Estonian Summer
You know I distrust any kind of absolute advice and try to avoid giving it. But seriously, unless you still have your holidays coming up, stop buying summer clothes NOW. Even if you do have holidays coming up – and mine are currently ongoing, so I know of wh..
Greetings from the Bog
Dear readers, this is a quick update to let you know that I’m alive and well – very much so, in fact, as I’m finally on vacation. Nothing exotic, I’m home in Estonia, currently visiting my family and some bogs in the Eastern parts of the country.

4 Literally and Metaphorically Green Skincare Products
If you’ve been here before, you know I’m not fond of this trendy talk of horrible ‘chemicals’ and ‘toxins’ in products. Everything is made of chemical compounds and no, we are not putting toxins on our face (unless they mean that everything can be toxic in h..

I really was nice to Gwyneth much longer than reasonable: I felt I owed her for the 10-hour chicken and blueberry muffin recipes (still like her cookbooks, in fact) and I also believed that a woman who has the brains to pick this Tom Ford dress for the Oscar..
Cocktail Hour (It’s Always 6PM Somewhere)

London Debrief: Gin, Kew and Frida Kahlo
I’m back from my long weekend in London – if you follow me on Instagram, you have probably seen the pictures, but I tried not to spend too much time on social media and deliberately did not blog at all. What follows is a quick run-down of the trip, in case y..
7 + 1 Books I Read in July
My July reading was still affected by the World Cup and – towards the end of the month – also by all the walking I’ve been doing, but it was a good reading month regardless. I liked pretty much everything I read and some of it I liked a lot.
