An Easy Mediterranean Menu for 10
I enjoy cooking and I believe I’m pretty decent at it, but as soon as you have more than 5-6 people to feed, things get a bit tricky. Suddenly the quantities don’t work and your pots and pans are too small and if you plan to cook several courses, it all turn..
Neela Vermeire Discovery Set
Niche perfume market has exploded in the last decade – there are hundreds of perfumes launched every year and new brands seem to appear every other day. It’s impossible to follow, let alone try everything, but I don’t mind – it’s not like I’ve read every boo..
Summer Reading List
As you’re reading this blog, you probably know I like lists and I especially like lists of books. I’m constantly reading reviews and recommendations and listing the books I want to read – on one hand, I enjoy the process, on the other, I also find the lists ..
Follow the Rainbow
For a person who doesn’t really wear much nail polish (I do wear it on my toes, but I only change it about once a month), I certainly own quite a few bottles – around 30, I believe, despite giving them away on a regular basis. So why would I need so many? Th..
Bargains for the Beach
I was going to blog about something totally different, until I got distracted by the sale at Yves Rocher. Everything in the Monoi range just half the price! This means practically free, considering that Yves Rocher is an inexpensive range to start with. I us..
Figs from Greece
It’s in fact too early to talk about figs – it’ll still take a bit of time before they are abundantly available on Brussels markets. But as Greece has been on my mind lately (because of work), I wanted to write something Greek-related that was positive and n..
The Lady Who Lunches
This title is misleading, as I’m definitely not one of the ladies who lunch – I work, I’m not rich, I don’t spend my days shopping and I haven’t had a proper lunch for weeks. What’s even more important, being a lady like that is not something I’ve ever aspir..
A Pretty Teacup
Most people I know have a personal, somehow meaningful coffee mug: in a favourite colour, possibly, or with a witty slogan. I am very much in favour of this honourable practice and have a couple of Penguin mugs myself. I also plan to get this Reading is My S..
The ‘Oh, Shit!’ Body Kit
You know those ridiculous articles in women’s magazines that promise you a beach body in 2/3/4 weeks, depending on the general ridiculousness level of the magazine? Aren’t these the worst? They are. When I’ve got a surplus of sarcasm, I like to direct it tow..
Fancy Macaroons
All bloggers like macaroons. Or if not all bloggers, then at least the bloggers who are on Instagram. I have just checked and hashtag ‘macaroons’ has been used almost a million times, including by yours truly. This tendency to photograph every pastel sweet y..
