10 Books I Read in March
Another month, another good reading streak. I could probably have read more in the end of March, as we had the long Easter weekend, but made a conscious decision to do other things as well – cook, spring clean, watch movies, talk to people. All-in-all, a mon..
Shakshuka-Inspired Vegetable Sauce with Eggs
I’m about five years behind the trend with shakshuka: as I’m generally not the biggest fan of tomato-based sauces, it never really spoke to me. However, with my newfound enthusiasm for meat-free dishes I decided to give it a go recently and turns out I reall..
On Becoming a Radio Star or Why I Read Science Fiction and Fantasy
Last weekend, I was a guest on an Estonian radio programme that focuses on pop culture (if you speak Estonian, you can check it out here). We talked about the blog, reading, movies and life in general and it was a much less painful experience than I expected..
Dior “J’Adior” White Kitten Heels
I get very annoyed with people who complain about the cost of everything. I don’t mean people in genuine economic difficulties, I mean people who pick a restaurant that they are fully familiar with, and then keep droning on about how expensive everything is…

March Memo: Spring, Oscars and Reading Women
It is very nearly spring in Brussels, still some way to go in Tallinn. When I was little, I used to be very disdainful of yellow daffodils, as they were the most common spring flowers in my grandmother’s garden. I thought paperwhites much superior and tulips..
A Change of Appetite
This title is stolen from Diana Henry, because no matter how hard I tried, I could come up with nothing that better reflected how I feel about eating right now. It has not been a very sudden thing, my way of eating has evolved immensely since I was that Sovi..
7 Books I Read in February
The reading year has started well: I was very happy with my January reads and this good streak continued in February. In addition to enjoying what I read, I also managed to tick off poetry and an Estonian-language book, staying true to my reading goals of 20..
Workwear Wednesday: Blue Dress, Yellow Scarf
Yes, I’m very much aware that today is not Wednesday. Unfortunately I could not yet publish this post last week and if I wait two more days, spring may have arrived everywhere and that humongous scarf will look awfully our of place. Brussels has already move..
