While I could start this post by writing about all the ways I have been busy over the past few weeks, highlighting all of the wonderful things that I get to experience, fact is: August was a lost month. It was beautiful, it was sunny and warm. I travelled, I spent a lot of time…
Who knew it could take almost a year to furnish an apartment? I definitely underestimated the amount of time that has gone into making our home look the way I had imagined. Slowly, the individual rooms are coming together – some more than others. While the home office / guest room resembles more of a…
Hi, my name is Viktoria Louise! While most of you know me as Vicky, the full name my parents gave me at birth is Viktoria Louise. And even as I write out those two words, it feels strange yet familiar at the same time. Just like it feels a bit strange to have been working…
This would be a great blogpost to quote Britney’s famous lyrics “Oops, I did it again…”. With “it” being the fact that I spent way too much money on handmade ceramics. By no means, do we have too little tableware, but with Summer just around the corner, I suddenly felt the need for a hint…
Generally speaking, hotel beds are pure bliss. Am I right? Especially the ones at the Shangri-La in Vancouver (but more on that in the next post). However, after traveling for almost three weeks nonstop, this weekend at home (in our own bed) has been amongst the most anticipated highlights on my agenda. Right after my…
During the weeks and days leading up to my 30th birthday, I found myself thinking about the number more and more. Not in a negative way. Rather in a very self-reflecting manner.

Two weeks ago, I boarded the A380 heading from Vienna to Dubai for a super short (but very meaningful) lesson on wellbeing at The Retreat Palm Dubai. The idea was simple: “Fall in love with taking care of yourself!”. The motto hit home with me at an instant. Possibly due to the fact, that taking…
Strange thoughts cross our mind during sleepless nights. I don’t know about you, but when I lay in bed, wide awake my thoughts usually start to wander in all sorts of directions. Generally speaking, the journey is a worrisome. Troubles that seem minor during daylight suddenly feel like the end of the world past midnight….
It has been way too long since I last shared a recipe (or post for that matter) here on the blog. The end of last year was the busiest time of my life. Sounds dramatic, but with the move, lots of work (which is a good thing, by all means) and some other projects in…
For the past 10 years, fitness has been a part of my life. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Meaning: For most of my adult-life, I have worked out. Not necessarily because I am one of those sporty girls that has to be active all the time, but rather because I love food and simply don’t have…
