Weekend with a Pug

I don’t know how I got myself into it but I have ended up with a pug for the weekend. Pugs should come with manuals and set of earplugs. Manuals on how to explain to him that sofa is really not a lamppost, that lost sandwiches found on the side of the road are not an afternoon snack, postmen are actually quite nice people and Saturday paper is supposed to stay in one piece. And maaan, they snore like an old sailor!…

Total Nerd Sometimes

I feel like a total nerd sometimes… I can discuss search engine optimization for hours but sit awkwardly quiet at the hairdressers. I am super punctual (one minute delay freaks me out) but arrived one hour late on the first date with my husband. I am awkward in front of the camera. My face is too narrow. My eyes are too wide apart. Ha, ha, maybe not so bad, but you get my point… I put on my favorite sweatshirt and jeans (that have a hole in the knee bigger every time I put them on) and do a few quick poses by the garage. These are just before I burst into laughter. Then I jumped in the car next to my hubby and headed to town.

Weekend Vibes

Weekend to me is a smell of a fresh coffee (the larger and fluffier, the better) / a loose black sweatshirt / long-board / messy hair because who cares / bare feet / mussels and fries (the vine sauce is the best) / sunglasses because have not bothered with make-up this morning / full tank and car ready to go / sunrise / highway / beach and cozy blanket / family / ice cream van / boats/ a lot of boats…

My Love and Hate Relationship with High Heels

My relationship with high heels has been a roller-coaster over the years. It all started when i was 16 and was landed my very first job as a hostess for ice hockey championship. till then a tomboy I got myself my first pair of proper high heels. Very 90′ with super long pointed front. I was all made up and me and my heels were inseparable over next few weeks. I did not care that I looked like a funny duckling bouncing from side to side as I could not properly walk in them. They empowered me and gave me confidence I needed…

Go Heavy on Chocolate Mousse Please

I always wanted to visit Burj al Arab hotel in Dubai. But getting inside proved harder than I initially imagined. You need to show the guard at the main gate that you have some business there. When I visited Dubai first time, I was a student. I was terribly skinned… Booking a night was not an option for me. So I scraped together a payment for the cheapest service they had on the menu. An afternoon tea. Back then I had no idea what an afternoon tea was. I did not expect a twelve course session including strawberries served dipped in gold! No half way job over-there…

I Should Have Been Born in California

I always think I should have been born in California. It suits me just perfect. I can imagine spending the rest of my life in flip flops. I could do exciting bikini shopping rather than dull shopping for umbrellas. I love frozen yogurt. I drink diet Coke and the flavor does not bother me. And everyone’s got a six pack in California… right, maybe not everyone…

Whisked Away to Valencia

There is always a good time for sangria. Even though my hubby saw it differently when I ordered one 11am on an empty stomach and then stumbled my way to the pool…
