The Unforeseeable Dutch Weather

It’s summer. Allegedly.

I know, social media is flooded with swimsuit selfies, sandy toes, and check-ins from Mamaia, Greece, Vadu. Oddly enough, Vama seems suspiciously quiet this year, where are all the barefoot bonfire pics?

Meanwhile, I haven’t even bothered to take my sandals out of the box.

Right now, my weather app shows rain tomorrow. And all weekend. Again. Of course, here in the Netherlands, the forecast changes faster than a toddler’s mood. One moment it’s sunny, the next it’s Noah’s Ark auditions. The Dutch weather has more plot twists than a telenovela, and I love a good drama, but this one? I’d like to cancel my subscription.

Where did this sudden “ad” come from, you ask? Let me explain.

My Kind of Perfect World

A perfect world, but dangerously perfect, isn’t one where you own a supercar that costs as much as a penthouse downtown or have a boyfriend made entirely of muscles, slicked-back hair, and a toothpaste-commercial smile.

No. No. Read more

A Mom’s Tale of Pest Control

It started innocently enough. A casual scratch here, a little scratch there. Nothing alarming, right? But then, it became a constant. An itch I couldn’t ignore. A maddening, relentless scratching. Behind my ears, at the nape of my neck, on the crown of my head. I even found myself scratching in front of the dairy section at the supermarket while contemplating which yogurt to buy. A true sign of desperation.

Turns out, I had reason to scratch: I had lice.

DIY Body Scrub: Coconut Oil & Orange Zest Bliss

There’s something magical about a homemade body scrub—especially when it smells like a tropical cocktail and leaves your skin feeling like velvet. One of my all-time favorite DIY treats is this simple yet luxurious coconut oil and orange zest body scrub. I’ve made it countless times for myself, but this time I whipped up a fresh batch as a little gift for a dear friend. (Who doesn’t love a thoughtful, handmade present that also smells like vacation?)
