Anything and everything cool or new usually takes a while to make an appearance in Vienna. While I had my first acaí bowl in California years ago and even got lucky in Berlin and Munich last year, I have yet to find one in Vienna. No big deal, I thought, if they don’t offer it,…
It’s been such a long time since I’ve done one of my bits & pieces posts. Since my life has been incredibly busy these past few weeks (or actually this year so far), I always feel like I have so much to tell you guys. So much more than finds a place in my usual…
Here’s a little love story of how I met micellar water! But first things first: I’ve never made my sensitiv skin a secret here on the blog. Ever since birth, I have had eczema and it’s been a lifelong learning process. Over the years (especially since my teenage years) my skin has improved tremendously. What used to be…
Over the years, I am sure that most of you have gotten the hint that I am quite the foodie. Mike and I love a good meal more than most things, and definitely up our monthly expenses with lots of edible things. Good food makes me happy. Simple as that. Especially in combination with travels and…
My Sunday Cravings are a weekly ritual of clicking my way through various online shops without actually shopping. Kind of like virtual window-shopping. I pick out things I would love to own and instead of spending money, I just tell you guys about them – of course, secretly hoping that you guys will convince my conscious…

The latter two were the inspiration for a delicious lunch recipe, after a delivery of regional asparagus and hand-picked strawberries arrived at the office yesterday. I am a…
In my world, a healthy diet is all about balance. Generally speaking, I try to eat lots of fruits and vegetables, stay away from sweets and white flour or sugar as much as possible and eat as unprocessed as possible. However, that doesn’t mean that I don’t love an occasional burger, big bowl of pasta…
By now, most of you have probably gotten the hint that I am quite the family person. I love my siblings to death, have an amazing relationship with my parents and nothing makes me happier than dinner with the whole gang. For some people, the thought of spending Easter in a house with 16 relatives…
As you’ve probably guessed right, today’s post is a mini (vegan) food diary. Even though I am far from being vegan, I do think there is a great deal of importance on eating and consuming food consciously and skipping the meat every once in a while (#flexitarian). Last year in August, I had a very interesting conversation with…
This year, I’ve really been trying my best to stick to a regular workout routine. I am usually happy with myself and my body, but my metabolism has always been super slow (especially since my mid-twenties … talk about clichés), which requires me to workout in order to eat like a normal person. Including a burger…
