I'm coming at you with another book review today. I devoured Local Girl Missing by Claire Douglas in the space of a weekend and just had to write up a little post on it! If you've been following my blog and bookish posts for a while you might well know that I love a good thriller or crime story. So naturally when I...

When my friend Sarah and I had booked this little spa break earlier this year with loads of snow outside and the radiators on full blast it felt like it was a lifetime to go until we could finally enjoy a summer's week looking out over the Bavarian Alps. But just like that it turned July and we had packed our bags in...

How is it July already!! It's literally crazy how time flies these days, I know I keep saying this and I probably sound like my own grandma going on about it but I still can't wrap my head around the fact we're half way through the year already! Anyways, I thought it would be a good idea to see how I've done so...

I finally got round to making my own shakshuka for a lovely lazy weekend brunch at mine a couple weeks ago. And it turned out quite well if I do say so myself. I found a easy-to-follow recipe in one of my favourite cook books Ottolenghi's Jerusalem and I kind of adapted it to what I had at the house and what I...

Kim, the owner of Golden Forest Boutique makes the most gorgeous jewellery using handpicked wildflowers and other natural treasures. I'll link her website as well as her...

So for my birthday this year, I decided I wanted to go somewhere warm, with a beach and a loooooot to see. I didn't have to think too long before coming up with Barcelona which is super easy to reach from my home airport of Nuremberg too! We headed out on Friday 13th of April (like the fearless people that we are haha!)...

I’ve heard so much about this book on social media yet when I finally decided to pick it up I didn’t know a whole lot about it. Not in detail anyway. In fact I was even a bit critical and unsure whether it would be worth the hype. But that was before I started reading. I don’t think it took more than 2...

After breaking with tradition and NOT posting a Pancake Day post last year I thought it was high time I got back on it and shared a new recipe with you. As is always the case, as soon as I cook a dish (no matter how often I've done it before) for the purpose of taking photos of it, it never ever looks...

I recently went on a little retail therapy shopping spree in town and decided to treat myself to a new fragrance. I sniffed my way through the store not quite finding anything that really caught my attention until I saw that goooooorgeous blush pink Gucci bottle! I sprayed some of it on my wrist and fell in love immediately! So not only was...

You guys! I hope you all had a good start into 2018! After some quiet time to wind down and relax with your loved ones over Christmas and New Year's it's high time to get back into the swing of things with juggling work, a household and a social life. As many of us will have started the new year with a bunch...
