light and bright
It’s october. My nose is cold, my fingers are freezing and I have a hot water bottle on my lap as I write these lines. I am not good with high temperatures. From june on, I always have to cover my whole self in SPF 100 and moskitoes adore my blood. Needless to say, summer […]
A cold shower and a warm hug
the journey Last thursday I got on the train here in Den Haag, embarkinng on a long journey. 9 hours train ride with 5 spanish girls doing interrail in a small compartment, I arrived at Berlin Hauptbahnhof. The city where we lived 7 years ago. the culture shock I stayed with our friends. I didn’t […]
New portraits
Last weekend my friend and photographer Andrea Kiesendahl came to see me in the Hague. On sunday morning she first took the nicest pictures of me and my little family ( I am not showing them here, because you know, privacy ). But I love every single picture, you just gotta believe me. And she […]
Influenza Lettering
I cannot remember when I was sick the last time. With being sick, I don’t mean the occasional running nose, but literally sleeping all day and night, not being able to take stairs or sit for a very long time. So, I was sick just a little while ago and it came from nowhere and […]

minimal waste journey
minimal waste journey I thought it’s about time to give you an update on our minimal waste journey / plastic free life. After three books ( this, this and this, all german ) and lots of internet research, I started making stuff myself. Yesterday I succeeded in mixing up my own dishwashing detergent and it […]
old photographs
old photographs I’ve always loved taking photos and still do, but I actually like to look at them even more. Old photographs have always fascinated me, because of the grainy black and white look and those fringy borders. You literally feel the paper. And I also know how hard it can be to get a […]
new beginnings
Yep, here it is, the first entry of my new blog. new beginnings. I was with tumblr all those years before, but it was time to move on. I was always okay with my blog being on a different platform, but I have come to realize, that it doesn’t make much sense anymore. Instead I […]
