The reality check of 2018 has come along a bit sooner than anticipated. Usually, December is crazy busy and then January follows on a much more quite note. Not this year. My agenda is filling up quickly and aside from a super busy 2 weeks, I have lots of incredible travels (some work-related, some private)…
Although you don’t really need an excuse to vacation, if you ask me, we did actually have a pretty good one this time around. Our 10-year anniversary called for some celebrations and we decided to skip the usual romantic dinner for some sunshine and cocktails in Miami. Even though the entire week was simply perfect,…
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…
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…
Let me introduce you to Ottocarl. My favorite child in the heel department. For my birthday in February, Mike spoiled me rotten with my first pair of Louboutins. He surprised me with a quick shopping spree before my birthday dinner and let me have a say in which pair I wanted. Honestly, I always thought my…
Ohh, where to begin? How do you write about a place that is simply too beautiful for words? Without a doubt this is the hardest hotel review I’ve ever done. Not because the hotel wasn’t everything we wished for and more, but quite frankly because I don’t think words could do the experience we’ve had…
Even without traveling, I am usually well aware of how blessed I am to call a beautiful city like Vienna my home. There is so much I love about it, including the historical architecture, the famous café culture and that special feeling in Spring when you can start hanging out by the Danube Canal again. After…
To me personally, beauty should always be a very natural thing. I think it is important to embrace your features and focus on what you like best. In my case my freckles and eyes. A lot of the time, people don’t really love their freckles, but my mom (who has even more than I do),…
2015 has been one of the most exciting years of my life so far and I have learned a lot. I think one of the most striking learnings of the year has been “you can’t have it all”. I have never been great at saying no, and when you’re self-employed, it becomes that much harder to pass up on certain opportunities. Especially because I love what I do and I love the brands I work with. However, I have noticed my energy fading towards the end of the year and think for my own sake, I need to…
I’ve been on 2 sunset desert safaris, as well as taken a tour with the quads before, and it is always a guaranteed good time (as long as you have a strong stomach). When planning a look for the dunes, there are a few things to keep in mind: It will be hot, sandy and super windy! Try to go for something comfortable, light fabrics and clothes that will stay put, even with crazy winds…
