A quick post today about the *Foreo UFO hack that I use. I know these devices are no longer as trendy, as LED masks are easier to obtain now that there are several models on the market. I also have an LED mask now, but even so, I still enjoy the Foreo UFO. I am…
The oldest gelato in Vienna is among the best gelato I’ve ever had in my life. And believe me, I’ve had a lot of gelato. (Ahem, for starters, twice daily gelato for 6 weeks whilst in Perugia on a study exchange…) So what makes this Austrian gelato so special? Well, most importantly, it’s bloody delicious!…
What are Cicchetti? Cicchetti are Venetian small snacks served in ‘cicchetti bars’ (bàcari or osterie). They are reminiscent of Spanish tapas in that they are eaten standing up, typically with a little glass of white wine, referred to by Venetians as “ombra de vin“.

Herbivore and acne: Do they mix? I’m so pleased to have some Herbivore empties to share with you. Herbivore is a brand I’ve been wanting to try for ages.

Don’t write off the mode of procurement just yet, and allow me to explain. Skincare containing bees products always agrees with my fussy skin. I used to use a L’Occitane honey…
Hello Skosh! I was treated to this delightful gem of a restaurant for my birthday last year. I am ashamed to say that this is the sole photo I managed to capture of the scrumptious, delicious, gorgeous meal I had there. (This is not an advert! Just the rave review of a happy customer.) Normally…
