Autumn Love

Lifestyle

It finally feels like autumn outside! It's windy and rainy and really quite grey but I just loooove it! I got out all the cosy knits already which is probably a bit premature but I don't even care - the excitement is real people! I wanted to put together a little list of things that I love about autumn and that make me feel my happiest. I don't claim this to be an extraordinarily creative, never-before-seen list of things but nevertheless it's what I love most about this most cosy and snuggly of seasons.

Dresden Love

Travel

So last weekend me and my bestie went on a little weekend getaway to Dresden. We wanted to see more of Germany and visit places neither of us have seen before, as it's always so easy to book that plane ticket to far off cities and beautiful beaches but it's so easy to forget about all the beauty that your home country has to offer. And boy, there's lots of gorgeous German cities worth exploring. For me I knew that Dresden was top of my list of places to see and my friend readily agreed so off we went.

Jo Malone's Wood Sage & Sea Salt

Beauty

"Escape the everyday along the windswept shore.
Waves breaking white, the air fresh with sea salt and spray. Alive with the mineral scent of the rugged cliffs. Mingling with the woody earthiness of sage. Lively, spirited and totally joyful." - Jo Malone

Feta & Tomato Bake | The Healthy Life

food

I'm sharing a new favourite summer dish with you guys today. It's become a favourite because it's soooo quick and easy to make, perfect for dinner on a nice summer's day, when you come home after a long day at work and don't really fancy standing in the kitchen preparing your food for all eternity. This requires minimum effort and therefore means maximum hours out on the balcony soaking up the evening sun. Sounds good? Well, here's what you'll need:

My Blogging Hiatus | Where I've been

Lifestyle

If you are (or were - no hard feelings ;) ) a somewhat regular reader of this little blog of mine you might have noticed that I kind of fell off the end of the world blogging wise this year. I thought long and hard about whether I wanted to write this post, explaining my reasons and for a long time I thought "nah.. I'm not even sure myself.. I guess I kinda just fell out of love with it a bit", but I realised that's not all it, far from it. And sometimes it just feels good to write it all down and therefore be able to make sense of it yourself. At least that's how I feel about it.
