Spring Updates
It feels a bit strange writing this, as I’m not entirely sure spring has properly arrived in Brussels and Tallinn, while in Senegal – where I am now – things are obviously way past what I’d usually call spring. Still, the blog is a monster that needs to be f..
Lazy Person’s Spring Brunch
Brunch is my favourite meal. I’m not a morning person, so even if I love breakfast in theory, I rarely love it in practice. I like the free form of brunch, how you have many small dishes rather than a couple of big ones that you usually have for lunch and di..
The Ordinary: Retinoids and Vitamins
Last September, I did a post on The Ordinary skincare and my first impressions of the five products that I had bought. Since then, it’s become by far the most read article on my blog and the interest in the brand is clearly not going anywhere. And I get it. ..
How to Wear a Kimono in Two Ways
Despite my aversion to capsule wardrobes, I’m very much in favour of only buying stuff you really, really like and then wearing said stuff to death. Where I believe I differ from the majority of people is that when I say this, I’m not only thinking of your b..
A Non-Capsule Wardrobe
Capsule wardrobes are as ubiquitous as avocado toasts recently (or chia puddings, for that matter), everyone and their pet iguana is doing it. If you don’t spend your days on Instagram, let me try to be helpful and recap: capsule wardrobe is a limited collec..
The Most Instagrammed Food Since Avocado Toast
For years, I had a personal policy not to make chia pudding. This was a part of my broader approach not to acknowledge the existence of „superfoods“. It’s not that I have anything against these foods in practice, I adore blueberries and mangosteens and even ..
Back to the Gym and 3 Life Lessons
It’s been more than a year since I promised to do it, but I have finally started exercising again. Some people would say it’s too early to celebrate, as I’ve only been to the gym twice. Killjoys. That’s exactly the point of the post, though: if I tell everyo..
My Korean Skincare Stash Update Vol 2
This is the second part of my Korean skincare overview – including only the latest purchases, mind you. If you’re interested in an introduction, go and read part 1: I don’t really have any new ideas. This bit covers serums and masks and a bubble peel pad for..
Giving a Good Sleeve
This is another one of those posts that I’ve been planning for months, but haven’t been able to execute. Fortunately for me, the statement sleeve trend shows no signs of abating, so the message is still relevant, if not quite as fresh as it would have been l..
My Korean Skincare Stash Update Vol 1
When I did my first post on Korean skincare almost two years ago, the products seemed so exotic and the beauty rituals of Korean women mystical and incomprehensible. 10 steps! Snails! Sleeping packs! How far we’ve come, the barbarians of the West. Sheet mask..
