Ich bin in Düsseldorf

Or, more correct, outside Düsseldorf. I am staying in an old farm house build in year 1800. When I did yoga this morning (don’t worry, I do not always manage to do yoga in the morning. AND it hurts to convince me to do it. Today I was a good girl.) Anyhow. When I did yoga this morning the fog … Read More

Safe Travels

Sometimes I am Superstitious. But, as with everything, as long as it stays within reasons it is ok. When it comes to my Safe travel Saint Necklace I do not mind being superstitious at all. Saint Patrick is the Catholic patron saint for travel safety. I keep him close to my heart. Maybe he was the one that made sure … Read More

Out-Fucking-Rageous

Last night in the taxiride home I started counting the days I have spend in Paris. I have been in Paris 16 times in the last 4 years. I usually stay 7-12 days. That gives me about half a year of Paris. 13% of my time. Scarry thought. I should know this city by now. But seriously, I only know … Read More

Saskia Diez

About 3 years I found my favorite jewelery designer: Saskia Diez. She makes such elegant and simple rings and I can not stop buying them. One collection is better then the other. I am hooked. It all started with this one (one in gold and one in silver). And then this one. And, after this trip, this one, now in … Read More

Still searching

I have still not found the perfect Butter brezel. Hofphisterei just isn’t. Wie kann es so schwer sein? I like the butter to be foamy  and not too cold . No fake butter please. And the bread should of course have that perfect crust. Anyone who knows? The Result of Malins Brezel-research  so far: The Swiss are great with the … Read More

Kaviar Gauche

So if I, against all odds (midsummer-night-flower-under-the-pillow-disaster, remember?), would get married this year, I would not mind something like this. A bit Celine. And Berlin. Last nights show by Kaviar Gauche.

I.can.not.wait.

Few bands has captured me in a concert as strong as the danish band Efterklang. I loved how they were acting as a band. I think it was because you could really tell that they are just a group of friends. And now, there is a movie about them. Or, a movie about them interacting during 4 days on a … Read More

in A’dam again

I have never been in Amsterdam so close to Christmas before. It is beautiful, even though the city is lacking the snow. The color of the brick, the black rooftops and the cream color painted window wood is christmassy in itself. But this is work and no time for Xmas retreats. Well, there is one thing I do not compromise … Read More
