Berries

What’s your plans for Friday? I had my forth workout in the morning and then enjoyed some red berries treats – fresh raspberries, redcurrant and strwaberries with after workout pancakes. :-)





We are out with Samuel now. Super nice weather!

LookFantastic

I have been wanting to subscribe to a beauty box for ages already. There are some really great options out there (Glossy Box, for example, is very famous one, but it does not ship to Malta). It is in general not that simple with shippment to Malta (there are some re-shippment companies of course, but it feels wrong to pay more for the delivery than the actual parcel).  :-(

Last month however I…

Origins I rarely recommend something from skin care, but this is the best facial mask I have ever tried.

It's beautiful in Malta!

How’s your weekend? :-)

We went for a walk before dinner today and oh my god, the sky was so magical!This one was taken while the sun was going down, hence the lighting is a bit different. I did not adjust any colors on the photos, just minor fixes, it was trully beautiful!

Monday starts early

Well, hello! Guess what, me and Samuel started a day early today. Met a friend for a cup of coffee already. :-)

Rain is in the air, comfortable and convenient with a rain coat today!

Yesterday we went out for lunch and I can’t believe I ate a piece of fillet that crushed every single steak I had in my life. Well, Seb has never tasted better either (considering we love good food, it means a lot…

Friday is here

How nice with Friday huh? :-)

You are probably wondering where I have been lately, sorry I have been quite lazy with my blog. (Guilty). I am not lazy with my exercises though, 4 times this week and I can proudly enjoy the weekend!

We are out enjoying dinner now! Cheers for Friday!

Should I continue? Have you ever started reading a book and it did not overwhelm you from the first page (I like to read books that make you not wanna stop reading it from the page one) and then you do not really want to continue reading it and at the same time you feel guilty quitting?

Monday truth: new week, new goals Hello Monday! We spent all weekend home - Samuel is very ill (I however managed to do some shopping, go to the gym and meet a friend for "fika" - if you are reading my blog, you should already know that fika is sort of a swedish chit-chat over coffee and some sweets.

Today Today is the second day I start with a workout. Our nanny is back so I am very ambitious going to the gym 4-5 times a week.

Ill, again

It sucks being ill! I have been having this severe throat pain for two days now and even with multiple treatments it does not seem to be improving, so I am considering visiting a doctor today…

Samuel obviously does not understand why I can not take him or play with him and why his mama is wearing this strange white mask at home, haha.

This is the second time this year I get ill, welcome to Malta…

Baby meals inspiration

As I have shared before it was not easy to make Samuel to eat anything apart from fruits for very long time. And it was quite frustrating since you spend time preparing food and then he refuses to eat, day after days, weeks after weeks.

For all those mothers who are in the same situation as I was, I would like to share my “saver”, a book that makes the whole feeding-your-baby routine much easier.…

Indeed a perfect January

Indeed a perfect January

Caught an hour of sun today (it was raining in the morning).

Maybe not the happiest picture of Samuel, but…

Water colors just transform under the sun.

French Affair… Perfect for swedish “fika”.
