Our rooftop deck is without a doubt my favorite “room” of the apartment. It is like a second living room outside. During the colder months of the year, I often feel like we’ve outgrown the place, but once summer comes around we gain an extra room and all of a sudden I am madly in…
It feels like I am making progress with my intention to wear more dresses. After the tropical maxi dress, I recently spotted this light blue ruffled summer dress on sale for under 30€. Convinced by the price, I decided to add another dress to my collection. Surprisingly, I have been wearing it nonstop since it…
Do you guys know that special feeling of saving a dress or item for a certain occasion? Taking it out of the closet at regular intervals to try it on with different accessories, just to put it back into hiding a few minutes later. Well, that was definitely the case with this dress. I’ve had…
In Koh Samui last week, we were in for a real treat one morning. Set amidst the treetops in a little hut, we got to practice yoga with a true yogi (16 years of practice) who taught me more in 1 hour than I’ve learned in most yoga classes combined. So inspirational! And a good…
I don’t remember the last time a destination impressed me as much as Bangkok. Sure, the Maldives are stunning, I love Abu Dhabi and a trip to the US always feels like home. However, since Bangkok was my first ever trip to Asia, I was overwhelmed with all of the new impressions and experiences. It…
Generally speaking, my skin type falls into the category of “easy to get burnt”. Freckles, fair skin and blue eyes don’t necessarily speak for a southern type and I definitely don’t tan easily. Luckily though, I am pretty good at taking care of my skin and protecting it from getting burnt. I don’t think sunburns are…
Over the weekend, Mike and I finalized our bookings for a special little get-away in September. It seems crazy even just writing this out, but this year we will be celebrating our 10-year anniversary… talk about high school sweethearts, right? Since 10 years of love are definitely something to celebrate, we decided to skip town and have…
While I was packing for our trip to Bangkok and Koh Samui last weekend, I noticed how I don’t have to put together a special “travel version” of my make-up bag. Most of my every-day items fit into a fairly small pouch that I can easily throw into my purse for a day on the…
Sawasdee Ka from Bangkok: Even though I love to travel and feel like I have gotten to explore many incredible destinations, Asia has never been ticked-off my list until this week. And this is just the beginning! Bangkok is so different than any city I have ever been to. It is huge, it is busy, it…
This year, it seems that I am racking up those frequent traveler miles. After starting our year in Maui, Mauritius was next on the agenda in February. Then in March Mike and I flew to the Maldives and stopped in Abu Dhabi on our way home. April brought along 4 days in Dallas and in…
