  1. It’s that time of the year again. Bring out the candles, my Grove Collaborative 70+ hour All Natural Soy Candle to be exact. I got that as freebie last year when I signed up for Grove.Co and I love it, especially the vanilla + sandalwood scent. 2. My Dad brought me back this oh-so-pretty…

October Link Love

Don’t put off that girls’ weekend. Ah, I miss girls’ weekends. The world looks different when you’re speaking a second language. This is a super-fascinating read. If you speak any other language, or like me, live in a foreign country and live your life in a foreign language, you might relate to this! Do you…

Oh so precious family time

As I have shared numerous times over the last few weeks (and you’re probably tired of hearing about it already), my parents were here for 2,5 weeks at the beginning of the month and let me just say that we had the most wonderful time. Yes, it’s nice to have my bedroom back (ha!), but…

Getting back to my normal routine, kinda.

Gah. Getting back to every day life after vacation is always so painful, am I right? I had planned to already start with some vacation recap posts last week, but obviously that didn’t happen and then the weekend also evaporated into thin air quicker than I could say “TGIF”. My work week was busy (trying to catch…

Isn’t that the truth? trying to adjust back to my regular work schedule which is always hard to do after vacation. Especially when you’re so emotionally jet-lagged. in disbelief that my niece turns…

The dreaded word: self- care

A little while back, my blog friend Stephany blogged about her self care routines. Self care is an important topic (I know too many people who tend to put everyone else’s well being first – me included – before they take care of their own needs), but I’ve been trying to get better at this….

Awkward & Awesome

Awkward & Awesome

This is a regular feature post on my blog. See the archives here. AWKWARD + Slow computers. Or huge data sets. Or both. I just don’t have patience for this. Especially when I need to get things done. + People who talk very loudly. There is this maintenance guy in our office building and he basically…

TotR | What time do you work out?

TotR | What time do you work out?

So, I did something crazy (for me) a couple of weeks ago. I left the house 5:15  a.m. to go to the gym. Me, the vehement not-an-early-morning-runner. I know. I think I am in the minority. Most people – especially runners – work out in the early morning, either to beat the heat or because…

Our 15-year meet-aversary

I just talked about my 15-year California-versary a few weeks ago and 15 years ago today, I met J. So, you do the math. We met right around three weeks after I arrived here. It would be a while until we became a couple, but I had no idea at that time that he would swoop me…
