In one form or another, I’ve always done an end-of-the-year post. So keeping up with tradition I just can’t go into the new year without wrapping it up here (only to plan all things better and bigger for the next year). This year has been a whirlwind both personally and globally, but eventually we’ll remember the good things (and because I still really like the idea of an anti bucket list), let’s focus on these here too. So this year, to name a few personal accomplishments, I moved in with…Continue Reading “Wrapping Up 2016 (In Velvet)” →

Instagram can be a right bitch sometimes. Please tell me it’s the same for you? Instagram võib vahel korral mõrd olla. Palun öelge, et keegi teist on samas olukorras? (Eestikeelne jutu jaoks peate korralikult alla kerima, sattusin oma kirjutamisega hoogu.) The truth is that I’ve been seriously putting too much thought and effort into all things Instagram, so I figured that if I type out all my thoughts on the subject, I’d get some sense into it. Hopefully this long chatty post puts me to ease…Continue Reading “Overthinking Instagram” →

Perhaps the title of this post a bit too trivial, but a hashtag with over 1,5 million posts on Instagram has to have some truth behind it, reminding us, in between countless pictures of peonies and pancakes, to turn our attention to the little things in everyday life. Such as photos printed out on paper, instead of scrolling past them on screens. Or books, forever managing to suck me in to those small universes between two covers, if I only bother to pick one up….Continue Reading “Live The Little Things” →

This post could either be a guidebook to going through with your semester abroad or my own super condensed diary (bowties excluded) of five months spent away from my family and friends, living a whole new life in a whole new place. Either way, I want to share this experience with you and I want to have one specific point to look back to and instantly be taken back to the city of Utrecht in The Netherlands in the autumn of 2015. Studying Firstly, why…Continue Reading “My Erasmus Experience” →

How many of you make a promisingly big new year’s resolutions list and then get cross with themselves in about a month for not sticking to it? Two of my favourite bloggers – Olivia Purvis and Emma Gannon – decided to ditch the get-better promises and instead, made long lists of what they have achieved during this past year. I can’t agree with them more, because even though resolutions about working out and being healthy (which I will definitely make) are nice and all, they’re…Continue Reading “The Anti-Bucket List” →

I have to be honest and confess that “America’s Top Model” type reality shows are my absolute secret pleasure. I love to comment on everything and everyone going through the screen, especially when watching it with friends and just slaying everything! So when I had the opportunity to take part in the recording of the Estonian version of that, I was excited!  Of course I was secretly hoping that I’d get the role of a super judgemental fashion critic who has to help decide which…Continue Reading “How I Went On A Reality Show” →
