When it comes to perfume, I am picky beyond means. I blame it on my super sensitive sense of smell. The problem is not that I simply don’t appreciate certain perfumes. The problem is they actually make me nauseous to the point where I get a headache and have to leave the room instantly. Drama…
When it comes to my skin, Summer is definitely my favorite time of the year. My freckles are more visible, the days of dry heating air are long gone and my skin feels a lot more comfortable. Which is also why Summer is the time of the year that I wear the least amount of…
Welcome to a new category here on Bikinis & Passports: The JETSET DIARIES. A place to share my inspiration and cravings for upcoming travels. A moodboard of destinations, fashion and beauty. One of the reasons I named this blog Bikinis & Passports more than 7 years ago was the fact that I believe travels play…
Ohh it’s the final countdown! I am down to my last 5 Invisalign aligners and incase you have no idea what I am talking about right now, you can find all of the other “Invisalign Updates” here. It has been a little over 2 years since I started my Invisalign treatment here in Vienna with DDr….

Aside from the fact that carry-on luggage will only allow a few liquid products that all have to be under 100ml, I…
The great thing about New York? They have Sephora stores at every corner! The great thing about having a beauty obsessed best friend? You don’t have to do any research on what to get – she’s got you covered! Needless to say, Kathi and I stopped into Sephora during our short trip to NYC and…
