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..
Workwear Wednesday: Streamlined Knits

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 ..

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..
The Strange Allure of Mustard vol 2: Sexy Mustard
Ladies and gentlemen (gentleman? I don’t know how many of you are reading), the day has dawned for the second instalment in my mustard series and I am overwhelmed by this unique opportunity to use the phrase ‘sexy mustard’ in a sentence.
