IKEA Trolleys for Domestic Goddess Level Storage Game
This is probably the most practical post I’ve ever done. I know, that’s not saying much, but really, it is very practical! Honest. I mean, it has words “IKEA” and “storage” in the title. People close to me are probably surprised to hear that I actually like ..
10 Summer Reading Recommendations
Estonian women’s magazine Anne & Stiil recently asked me to recommend summer reads for their June issue. Understandably but unfortunately, I was limited to books that have been translated into Estonian. That meant I had to leave out a few I would have liked ..
A Skirt of Gold
One of the first posts I did for the blog – more than a year ago now – was on brocade skirts. I still stand by every word I wrote, but brocade is obviously not the only way to do statement skirts. If you’re looking for a trendier version of the same idea, lo..
Why Football is Exactly Like Umberto Eco
It’s the first full day of Euro 2016 and therefore the perfect time to talk about football – and sports in general. Family folklore says I was watching the ice hockey games of Lake Placid Winter Olympics with absolute concentration on my father’s lap and hav..
Probably the Longest Blogpost on Cleansers, Ever
I’ve wanted to do an overview post on cleansers* for a while, but have been putting it off, as I’ve been unable to find my Sunday Riley Blue Moon cleansing balm. How is this possible? How can a person just lose a big tub of skincare? And of course it has to ..
Birdmania vol 2: Swans
You may have noticed that I have a thing for somewhat eccentric design, especially when it comes to details – I’m not sure I could actually live for long periods in Iris Apfel’s apartment, but I would ceratainly want to steal a few armchairs and vases. My pa..
On the Uses of Bookstagram (and Six People to Follow)
The activities people most frequently associate with me are coughing* and reading, often conducted simultaneously. I’ve read since I can remember myself and never expected my reading experience to change much. And in most ways, it hasn’t – although I’m somew..
The Brightening Project: Are We There Yet?
About four weeks ago, I told you about my issues with hyper-pigmentation and mentioned some products I planned to try. I also promised an update once I have my routine figured out and that’s what this post is about. For me, using the same products day in, da..
A Cheap Fountain Pen
I’ve always liked fountain pens and it’s probably not surprising – they have a certain old-school charm that I always appreciate, while actually being useful everyday items. Compared to the ones I owned when starting school, modern fountain pens are easy and..
The Body Part of the Season: Shoulders
This is obviously no news, as shoulders were already THE body part of the previous season and possibly the one before that. So I feel slightly silly to bring this up at all. But I have my reasons. First of all I really like this trend. Come to think of it, t..
