’cause life was not meant to be lived only in one place

A sneak peek into my Magnet collection

If there is something I regret is that for some time in my 20s I stopped getting magnets for myself. The main reason was that I lived for most of that time in a flat share, and really didn’t have a place to showcase them. But then I realised this was just ridiculous… why not … Continue reading A sneak peek into my Magnet collection →

Yoshitomo Nara Exhibit & Personal Reflections

“I’m easyyyyy….easy like a Sunday morning” sings Lionel Ritchie. My Sunday mornings are never easy. I make myself get off bed at the same time as the workday, get dressed, and go for a 45 minutes intense spin class at the gym. Even if I did a class on Saturday and if I’m planning to … Continue reading Yoshitomo Nara Exhibit & Personal Reflections →
