So, the other day I flipped open my reduced priced MarieClaire (thanks Pressbyrån) and I happened to find a really neat article about fashion bloggers. One that specially caught my eye was Gala Gonzalez, a Spanish expat in London. She is an obvious choice for being a stylish person purely based on her work; she’s [...]
I’ve learned a lot since becoming pregnant. Never again will I become one of those people who ask mundane questions to pregnant ladies. I was ignorant before, but now I have seen the light. I will scream at the next person who asks me how I feel. Let’s get a few things straight:

Being pregnant and becoming a mom comes with many changes, and not just physically. I’ve been thinking about some of the ways that I do things that I wouldn’t like to continue to do around my child. One of the things that is currently bothering me is plastic. It’s everywhere! I don’t like how it’s [...]

Last year living in Spain I can only recall a few moments of sitting in awe of the changing of seasons. This is sad considering a Cordobes spring [...]
