…CONTINUED Saturday, July 15th Same spiel as every day: the alarm rings at 7:15am and almost intuitively we make our magnesium citrate drink, pull some oil and get dressed – this time in workout clothes since I have a personal trainer lesson after breakfast. I sit down for breakfast at 8:30am, Mike follows shortly after….
The older I get, the more important my own personal health becomes to me – both the mental and physical health. I have always found great interest in topics revolving around “detoxing” (or let’s call it giving your body a break), working out, superfoods and a well-balanced diet. When Mike told me about this clinic…
This will be a summer to remember. Even though I always love summer, this year is extra special for many reasons. My best friend is getting married, Mike turns 30 (♥), I am spending an entire week dedicated to taking care of my body and we finally made the ultimate girls trip to Ibiza happen…
The weather in L.A. is not always as sunny as you’d expect it to be. Especially in May and June, the famous “June Gloom” makes an appearance. While the inland areas are nothing but blue skies, the coastal area can get pretty foggy and gloomy in the mornings due to the marine layer clouds moving…
When I was younger – growing up in Southern California – driving up to L.A. was always a highlight. It was usually connected with some sort of weekend activities and my parents would take the time to drive through Beverly Hills with us kids to go “house hunting”. From my memories, I always loved driving…
Tucked away behind a big, dark green hedge, you’ll find the L’Horizon Palm Springs on East Palm Canyon Drive. What awaits behind said hedge is my new favorite boutique hotel in the world (setting the bar high in only the second sentence, I know). I lost my heart to the iconic, mid-century modern architecture, perfect interior…
Vienna is famous for it’s many traditional balls. While the peak of the ball season is usually January and February with the world-known Opera Ball, June also has something amazing to offer when it comes to Vienna’s ball culture: The Fête Imperiale. A stunning summer ball that let’s you experience the cities tradition in a…
Originally, we picked Palm Springs as a destination during our California trip because it more or less guarantees good weather and since there is not much to do in the desert (or so we thought), it is a perfect excuse to spend the days being lazy by the pool and sipping on cocktails. Funny enough…
When you think of California, you usually think of Los Angeles, San Francisco, the Pacific Ocean, tons of palm trees and gorgeous sunsets. Well, it just so happens that California is one of the most versatile places I know. You can ski on Mammoth Mountain, jump into the ocean in Laguna Beach and you can escape into…
It has been 13 years since I lived in Southern California (Orange County). Back in the days, we used to go up to Los Angeles occasionally, but not too often. For years, I had these vague memories of Downtown Los Angeles being a place where you would only men in suits or homeless people on the…
