"What we learn with pleasure we never forget" - Alfred Mercier
In my daily practice, I receive questions on a daily basis about what kind of sunscreen won't cause break-outs in oily skin. More even, I figured it's a specific concern bothering not only patients suffering from acne, but also non-acne patients. Why is sunscreen so important, especially when you h...
"SPF is your BFF" , a tag line you've certainly heard before. But what exactly is SPF, and does SPF alone protect you sufficiently against the sun? To be completely correct, we should use the word sunscreen instead of SPF. In my daily practice, I am routinely asked about what exactly to look out f...
A few weeks ago, my Mom and I spent the weekend at Antwerp's newest luxury hotel: Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp . This five-star superior hotel was created out of a re-established 15th century monastery, forming without a doubt a real asset for us Belgians, as one of the Leading Hotels of the world ! ...
As the days get darker, and nights get colder, snuggle season is finally settling in. Crisping leaves beneath your feet whilst you're walking in the dark to and home from work. Rare rays of sunshine on your cold, bare face every once in a while remind us that Fall hasn't ended just yet. Chances for ...
Today I’m taking you with me on a typical, not so extraordinary day in my life. In this video I’m showing you the life I live everyday based on a zoom-in on my specific morning routine. Although I must admit that, considered the fussy life I live, this ‘routine’ is slowly turning into a rare thi...
Maybe you remember my last post on Atelier Rebul, in which I took you with me on my daytrip to Ghent. I still had to write a review about the Atelier Rebul products I got at the opening of their second shop, and I believe now is the perfect time to share it with you guys. For my trip to Romania wi...
Earlier this week I met up with two other bloggers that I got familiar with last year in Ghent during a big blogger date. We have become friends ever since! Now we’re a little less than a year later, about time for catching up! Michelle , Laurence and I saw each other again in Ghent for the Ateli...
This week I had the opportunity to try out Bavet , an only pasta-serving restaurant that recently opened its doors in Leuven. Just like Matti and Marthe I was invited to taste and review the Bavet spaghetti, and that’s why we went all three together! I had a great time catching up with Matti, w...
About a week ago I had the opportunity to try out Foodtrotter’s first settlement, in the very heart of our capital: Brussels! I took my good friend Ysys with me, and what was meant to be just a nice conversation over lunch -exchanging some gossip maybe-, turned out as a fun, quality time-worthy af...
Hello guys! You can’t imagine how much it makes me happy that I found some spare time to talk to you and tell you all about my first Christmas dinner of last month (finally lol) . Exams are driving me mad already and there’s another 3 weeks to go. I had the first one only today, it went quite okay ...
In the past I never really minded the products I treated my hair with: a store brand shampoo, shampoo containing silicons, parabens and so on. I have to admit that when I was younger I occasionally pampered my hair with nutrifying masques, using a conditioner only once a week. A visit to the haird...
Today I’m sharing with you all of my favorite places for a day (or more a long weekend) in Leuven. And about time! Two and a half years ago, I matriculated at university and became one of a thousand new students in this magnificent city: Leuven. Some sort of small ‘life changing’ choice I have never...
I kept talking about the mysterious hotspot I’ve been to in Ghent, the evening of & Other Stories’ opening. Both having high expectations, Jasmien and me decided to eat something at I bet every hipster’s favorite place to stay: Balls & Glory . Balls & Glory is a restaurant where you can eat the m...
Hi sweeties Last week I was so busy with school, I didn’t found the time next to launching our awesome lingerie give away to write you about the super event I’ve been to the week before! & Other Stories. I’ve written a shoplog before about this amazing clothing chain, and guess what? A few days lat...

Whenever I’m at the seaside, I make sure I’ll make a stop at Must Have . Nowhere I find as original clothes as they have here! It definitely is my favorite place to shop in Knokke. Together with my friend Julie, who studies photography, I went to Knokke 2 weeks ago for a shooting day. I was really ...
No hotspot hunt finished without having discovered some nice places to shop! My absolute favourites in Saint Tropez are Lulu Boutique and Battaglia. Lulu Boutique : the finest colourful dresses and fantasy jewelry! I bought the fake tattoos here too. Read all about them and click HERE . This shop...
