Fracas Noir – Susanne Waldau – te Brake ~ for better or worse

To my horror I’ve gained 3 kg’s after the holiday. This despite regular runs in 30 degrees heat. This despite living on salad and scallops. I guess the culprit in this drama must be the champagne! As this is not something I’m prepared to cut out of my staple diet I shall have to turn [...]

Some weekends are good. Others are just excellent! This weekend certainly belonged to the latter. It’s been so realxing, no work, pleanty of sleep and just spending time with the family. What more can a girl ask for? In the spirit of a blissful weekend I decided to get some bathbombs at Lush for a [...]

Whiter than white, that’s the colour of my teeth. Today I went to WIT (i.e. White). It’s a beauty salon chain specialised in teeth bleaching and injectables like botox. Botox might be a bit premature for me, but bleaching my teeth is something I’m open to. And when I met a girl on my holiday [...]

Thank God it’s Friday! Some weeks are worse than others. Not in terms of actual happenings. Because cause and effect has been very gentle on me this week. If it wasn’t for my fatigue. That sleepless night, between Monday and Tuesday completely disrupted the rest of the week. As we walked the streets of Haarlem [...]

My talents are fairly limited. I’m not particularly creative, and the few creative talents I do have, results more often than not in a mediocre output. The only real talent I have, although few would agree with me, is my aptness for capturing moments. From the exotic to the mundane, I have come to view [...]

I came across this tune on YouTube, which is something from the past….it’s from U96 with the obscure yet interesting name Club Bizzare. I used to love this song. I remember having this on my walkman rewinding it over and over as I was running at sunset. This was the year I fell in love [...]

I dashed off on my lunch break for a much needed haircut at Pierot. My hair is still thinning but luckily it’s all growing back again. On my way back I stopped by le Maquilleur for a lipstick and mascara. As usual I came out with a lot of of goodies, this time from the [...]

Thank God this day is OVER with big capitals! I have suffered, minutes have seemed like hours and anything work related has been an absolute pain. I’m referring of course to my sleepless night. Reinout thinks its good for me….he has this “just get over it” attitude and the fact that he is the cause [...]

I am so tired. Sleep doesn’t come (it’s almost 4 am). I know this is a common issue for new parents. But my sleepless nights are once again developing to become insomnia. I feel the anxiety rise in my chest as I twist and turn in bed. It doesn’t help the fact I was already [...]

I’m closing off downstairs, letting the dogs out in the garden, emptying the more full than empty wine glasses of its content. It feels like a waste but on the other hand its too late to start binge drinking. Besides my list of objectives contains a healthy living and loosing some weight, whatever leftovers from [...]
