    Make this Valentine’s Day all about you!

    Valentine’s Day has never been a thing for me. I first heard of it when I grew up watching episodes of Sabrina, The Teenage Witch. It eventually hit France like Halloween did, but the trend never really took off. I am also a big believer that I don’t need an assigned day of the year…

    Living-room tour

    Welcome back to yet another article of Architectural Digest… If only! One thing I have noticed when reading interior magazines is that each house has a wow factor if designed well. In some cases it may be a grand entrance, in others, it may be a designer kitchen, and in our case, it is our…

  • L’Oculto Restaurant – London

    L’Oculto Restaurant – London

    Today’s place is a special one. We moved to Lewisham almost 3 years ago and it didn’t take us long to find L’Oculto Tapas Bar. It very quickly became one of our favourite places in the Borough, if not the whole of London! Each time we visited, I was so busy enjoying the wine and…

  • Hoppers – London

    Hoppers – London

    Today’s place isn’t new, neither is it off the beaten track. It is quite the opposite actually! Hoppers has been open for a while, it has incredible reviews and it couldn’t be more central even if it tried. I still think it is worth sharing my first visit there with you so we can see…

    At the beginning of January, Andrew and I decided on a small challenge we could take on that could potentially improve our lifestyle. Neither of us is into resolutions so we were looking to do something temporary which could teach us some sort of life lesson. After further discussion, we decided to go vegan for…

    Museum Frieder Burda – Baden-Baden, Germany

    On a cold afternoon while at my parents, we headed to Baden-Baden knowing that a great indoor activity was waiting for us. Museum Frieder Burda is the perfect destination for anyone who likes modern art and wants to stay warm in the German winter. The contemporary building is in the Lichtentaler Allee park. Rising between the…

    Café König – Baden-Baden, Germany

    Baden-Baden is a lovely German town a short drive away from France, and my family and I visited it on a regular basis since I am little. It is a great day-trip from Strasbourg! The town is very charming with its beautiful architecture, many shops and its famous concert hall. It also has a great…

  • The Horniman Museum and Gardens – London

    The Horniman Museum and Gardens – London

    London has some of the biggest and most interesting museums in the world. It is amazing to have access to so much culture and beautiful objects for free, but sometimes it can feel a bit overwhelming. On the days you still want to immerse yourself in the charming and inspiring atmosphere of an old museum…
