Iceland is mesmerizing, for the eye and for the mind. I will let the photos do most of the talking and just add some captions as we go through the days. Things we did (2 months) before the trip: planned the whole route according to all the sites we wanted to see, made accommodation reservations …

Mádara – best (facial) skin care – daily routine and review
Our story with Mádara started pretty randomly. My husband in his young thirties needed a good hydrating cream as his skin was quite dry. We were looking for something organic and vegan, so the sales lady in Müller directed us to this brand. She specifically advised him this Smart one: with a deeply hydrating formula. …
Sexiest music ever
This post doesn’t need an intro as the title says it all. Most of the songs on the list are rock, those I like to call “midnight rock”, others are random genres. Some even have kinky lyrics, but that’s not factor that makes them sexy. I can’t really explain, what it is, there’s just something …
Why all this consumerism? Why so much packaging?
Sometimes, with too much time on our hands, we get lost on YouTube. Sounds familiar? 😉 In my case, I “waste” my time on, among others, some beauty and fashion vlogs (even environmentalists fall for the cute things, guilty). The ones I come across are pretty likeable and relaxing with occasionally some good advice. What …
A part of me would be missing if it weren’t for Lara Croft
I first met the character at the age of about 13 years, my friend had the game. I was amazed by the story, Lara’s bravery and mostly, of course, her physical abilities. I dare say it affected my greatly and in a very good way. I will not be getting into the games, films and …
How to always be your true self and have fun wherever you are

Environmental volunteer work – pros and (no) cons
There is so much work to be done in this world. And it’s always the right time to start – with the thing that motivates us the most, where we can and want to put our effort in. I participated as a volunteer at a marine mammal society for cetacean conservation and research for a …
How yoga changed my life
And how it can change yours too – for the absolute better. I started practicing yoga as a student, had two free afternoons during the week so I took the class with a classmate for a year. I liked it, but not enough at the time to continue it on my own. My head was …
Things to consider before going from hosting to self-hosting
First of all, clearly, I am not a computer expert, I just pick up a few things here and there since most of my friends are. This is strictly a laic experience as you will be able to tell. A blog on a hosting platform like WordPress.com is relatively easy to manage and you learn …
Favourite cartoons
Adults watch cartoons too. I’m one big child, specially when it comes to cartoons. I let myself watch them when I’ve ticked off everything listed on my to do list. It’s my time and I love it. These are not listed in any particular order, like them all and watch them all: Phineas & Ferb: …
