Fracas Noir || Susanne Waldau - te Brake I swear to tell the truth as I know it…

My hair is absolutely GORGEOUS! After a few hours at the salon I finally have these massive locks coming off my shoulders. The effect is nothing short of stunning!
I’ve never been blessed with full, thick hair. Instead I have fine, Scandinavian hair which turned even thinner after the pregnancy, as I lost lots of [...]

When autumn hits, it often means a change in routines. As the clock goes back, my alarm goes forward by another 15 minutes, which is extra sleep I need in the darkness that envelopes the mornings. I eat more (to my horror I’ve gained 2 kg’s which is now added to the 3 kg’s that [...]

I am sitting here in bed, at 9 am on a workday I might add, with a cup of coffee whilst reading the news. When did that happen last? There is an explanation to this however. Last night I was putting together a small soiree. The house looked like a mess and I admittedly bribed [...]

I haven’t been on my best blogging behaviour in the past few days, I know. Even though the weekend provided ample opportunity for blogging, the prospect of a computer free weekend was far too tempting. And as the power supply also broke down, I had a good excuse. It was the first weekend in…let’s say [...]

There is so much I want to write about. It’s mostly about intuition. Good intuition. But I’m also somewhat superstitious. If you really feel something good is about to come true, won’t the opposite happen? Or perhaps it’s just that I finally feel I have a routine on things….I’m in control. But control is [...]

It’s already half past eleven and I am not sticking to my internal promise to be in bed by 11 pm. But it’s been a busy day and although I haven’t technically been working the whole day as there’s been time for a quick lunch in town and dinner in the evening it’s been pretty [...]

I love when days are just flying by, their beginning and end seamlessly connected. That’s when you feel you actually accomplished something. It reminds me of one of the rules of the garage from HP “Make a contribution every day. If it doesn’t contribute, it doesn’t leave the garage.” It’s a rule I’ve been giving [...]

The thing with having a digital camera is that you take so many pictures. In a way I miss having the old fashioned photo albums. Those carried memories for life, invaluable, whereas their digital versions are forgotten as soon as the picture was downloaded to some anonymous folder. Well digital version in all honour, here [...]

Paris in autumn is fantastic. It doesn’t matter if it’s windy and rainy, because with a cafe or bistro around every corner, you don’t have to ever risk getting too wet or cold. Reinout and I have been strolling around with Sebastian, shopping, eating and drinking. In short perfect for a small city break. Now [...]

Yes, what can go wrong will go wrong! We were suppose to leave early in the morning. But one of our appointments got cancelled for today so we are left with only two (I know I’m being somewhat secretive about these appointments but it shall be disclosed soon). In any case we left later in [...]
