Floom Brunch

February 25, 2015

People who know me a bit, may have noticed I’m a morning person. This doesn’t mean I like waking up early, but it’s the atmosphere of mornings that makes me happy. Especially on sunday I like to take time for breakfast, and enjoy a brunch with family or friends. Luckily weekend brunching is hot at the moment! Granola brand Floom is organizing marvelous brunches which you can sign up for on their Facebook page. Last sunday I had the pleasure to take part and photograph the 5th Floom Brunch, that took place in a charming historical house in Lier. Delicious food, interesting people and nice atmosphere made it into a perfect sunday morning!

Early Spring

February 9, 2015

Everyday the sun is setting a bit later, and days are getting longer. The sun moves upwards in the sky, and fills our days with brighter and more powerful light. It’s still cold outside, but it feels like winter is almost over and early spring is finally there! This weekend I bought the first tulips of the year. Aren’t they lovely?

Wanderlust

February 4, 2015

MARRAKECH

It’s the time of the year when we all start dreaming about warmer weather and sunnier days. After a period where we have spent most of our days warm and cosy at home, it’s time to go outside again. This goes together with the desire to travel… wanderlust is calling. The first destination that is on my wish list is the ‘red city’ Marrakech, fascinated by the oriental architecture, mysterious riads and hammams, the chaotic medina and a lot of mint tea. If you are not convinced yet, take a look at this wonderful instagram feed of Amerrakechia.

VENICE

A second place I would like to visit this year is Venice. With its romantic charm and historical character it must be one of the most fascinating and loveliest places in the world. The city of marble palaces and streets of water seems to float on the lagoon. I had the pleasure to visit Venice ten years ago, and would love to return.

ICELAND

The wonderful nature of Iceland is fascinating me for a while now. The breathtaking landscapes are so pure and honest. Being a spa lover, bathing in the famous Blue Lagoon geothermal spa must be a unique experience. Dreaming of going one day to this gorgeous place on earth!

Tea Time

January 29, 2015

Something more about my tea scene… Even if you are not a tea drinker, you might definitely fall in love with this handmade japanese copper tea can by SyuRo. Over time it will gracefully change color and age as the metal oxidizes. The wooden spoon is handmade too. Today I have chosen a white tea from Paper and Tea: Shangri-La. Pure and clear, made from leafs that have the least oxidation. The high amount of antioxidants makes it the healthiest tea you can drink!

Paper & Tea – Berlin

January 23, 2015

Is tea the new coffee? For me it is for sure! As you might have noticed, I am a tea lover! Tea in the morning to wake up, in the afternoon at work and in the evening after dinner, every time of the day is the right moment for a cup of tea. Lately, tea shops and bars are popping up everywhere. I present you one of my favorite tea shops Paper and Tea, located in Berlin’s Charlottenburg district. In this lovely shop you can find the finest selection of tea, and a lot of beautiful ceramics. Besides tea, they also have a bunch of handcrafted paper goods. In october 2014 the second Paper and Tea store opened its doors in Berlin-Mitte. Can’t wait to visit this boutique on another trip to Berlin!

P & T Concept Store – Bleibtreustr. 4 – 10623 Berlin-Charlottenburg
P & T Mitte – Alte Schönhauser Straße 50 – 10119 Berlin-Mitte

Mornings like these

January 6, 2015

Good morning! The start of 2015 wasn’t that good for me. I’ve spent most of the time at home with a serious cold. Hot tea and a good magazine made me feel a lot better. I love the fresh light that enters our room on mornings like these! Have a good day!

After the party

January 1, 2015

I hope you all had a sparkling New Year’s Eve last night, and a peaceful start of 2015! We celebrated at home with family and delicious food. The pavlova dessert was my favorite! The first day of the year was for sleeping late and dish washing…

Best wishes for 2015!

Happy New Year to all of you! Normally I am not the kind of person that is into quotes and words (I am more a visual person) but at the start of the new year I couldn’t resist to share some nice words and best wishes… What are your intentions for the new year?
