I clearly remember the day someone called me Sporty Spice for the first time. Me?! No way! But after my recent 300th run I can hardly deny it: I love running! And finding colorful or interesting things on my runs became a second nature. While I have no ambition of ever running a marathon, I Read article…

Pink Pattern
When browsing my latest Instagram pictures, I realised there's a pattern. A pink pattern! This past year I spotted several pink houses and façades everywhere I went. Not sure if it's my pink glasses that make me see "la vie en rose", but I just wanted to share this little collection here. Do you "suffer" Read article…
Jean Jullien at l’Imprimerie Paris
A few photos from this cool exhibition in Paris that I visited a few weeks ago. Between the presentation of Jean Jullien's work at Colette and the exhibition at l'Imprimerie, it' was hard to miss JJ's colorful bold illustrations in Paris.

After the longest Sunday of the year, summer is finally here! Most of my cacti woke up after long months of hibernation and are currently growing new ears/leaves/paddles.

Dutch color therapy
Have you ever seen the most colorful extravaganza in the Netherlands? Until a few weeks ago I only ever saw the tulip fields from a train or car but when I found out I had a meeting at 10 minutes from Lisse, I knew I had to see this from up close. When there's such Read article…
Sugarfree lemon meringue pie

Nine minutes in Nice

United colors of Charlie
There was something in the air this Sunday. No pun intended, it was not only the airplane from which I took these pictures 😉 After last week's tragic events in France, the massive amount of people that joined the unity rallies in Paris and throughout the world, made me hopeful. I was in Nice this Read article…
Le Tri Postal in Lille
Welcome on the other side, in 2015! So far it's not too shabby, right? We started the New Year in Lille, in the North of France. We strolled through the city center Vieux Lille, ate hot waffles and crêpes, visited the Christmas market (and left as soon as we could, aarrghh it was awful!), walked Read article…
