ace hotel & swim club, palm springs

Wanneer ik op vakantie ga, vind ik de logies een belangrijk punt. Er zijn van die mensen waarvoor een propere kamer met bed en badkamer volstaat, maar ik wil meer. Het hotel of andere accomodatie maakt dan ook deel uit van de (totale) reiservaring. Op mijn wish list staan een pak leuke hotels waaronder sommige…

when in london

Vorig weekend vertoefde ik nog eens in mijn geliefde Londen. Zonder echtgenoot of dochter, maar wel met mijn papa en mama. We gingen er namelijk op bezoek bij mijn broer. Hij verhuisde eerder dit jaar naar Londen, zijn vriendin volgde hem afgelopen zomer. Aangezien ik hoogzwanger was op het moment dat ze naar hun vaste…

rise and shine! – #boostyourpositivity

If you’re part of the Belgian blogosphere you’ve probably noticed that #boostyourpositivity, the blogger initiative by Danone (Activia) and Walkie Talkie PR, is back for a second edition!

alpe-d’huez

And just like that we’re back among our fellow Belgians, a 9-hour ride from our beloved Alpe-d’Huez. Do we feel sad? Yes, we do. But.. it’s also fun to transfer all the photos of the trip onto the computer and compile a blog post. I did my utter best to narrow it down to about…

south of houston

Since the Anton Corbijn exhibitions in The Hague are now running through mid August, you still have five weeks to come up with an excuse on why not to visit them. And if you do (visit them), I also have a pretty good place to stuff those stomachs after your visit: South of Houston, located…

a day in den haag

On Friday we had the day off because of Labor Day which was the perfect occasion to set out for a day in Den Haag (The Hague). Of course, we don’t just go to Den Haag without a reason, no. There are currently no less than two exhibitions that center around the work of Dutch…
