FUN FACTS
Fun facts? We’ve got fun facts:
I am short. That’s not so funny but I just wanted to specify it because every time someone sees me in real life after having seen pictures that someone tells me: “but you looked so much taller”. There you go, that’s kinda funny… I’m really 1m64! Continue reading “FUN FACTS”
HARDCORE
Sometimes… Sometimes I am in a hardcore mood. If you know what I mean.
If you don’t, now you do: Continue reading “HARDCORE”
LATE BLOOMER
I am what you’d call a late bloomer, one of those women who becomes beautiful with age.
Strangely, I say this without any pretense: I don’t think I’m the prettiest (I am actually totally incapable of naming the most beautiful woman in the world because I find lots of women beautiful in many different ways) but I’m happy with what I see in the mirror, be it puffy and eyes and poufy hair or a perfectly prepped face.

Nice try, but no, I’m not referring to my lawyer’s robes.
I’m talking about the little black dress, which should systematically be a basic in any half decent wardrobe.
It allows you to put and end to one of the most distressing morning dilemma’s: what on earth am I going to wear?
TWITTER MATERIAL
I seriously think I should be more active on Twitter. Thanks to the three children that surround me every day, I am the witness to brilliant comebacks and hilarious retorts Continue reading “TWITTER MATERIAL”

WHO NEEDS TO BREATHE, DEAR? IT’S SO OVERRATED!
I adore this Dior dress, which must date back from the 50’s. It does present an inconvenient though: once you slip it on, impossible to breathe (but honestly who needs to breathe, it’s so overrated). Continue reading “WHO NEEDS TO BREATHE, DEAR? IT’S SO OVERRATED!”
SELF-ESTEEM
Whilst reading articles on the Internet, I strumbled upon the Dove Self-Esteem Project.
The study reveals the impact that regular selfie-taking can have on teenage girls’ self-confidence. Continue reading “SELF-ESTEEM”
THE WAR OF THE BUTTONS
Eleven buttons. This dress has eleven buttons on it. Eleven tiny buttons that you have to put through eleven minuscule button holes. In short, you have to be awake and alert to put this dress on and you better not be in a rush. Continue reading “THE WAR OF THE BUTTONS”
