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

I’m sitting here on the sofa, super relaxed, with a glass of Bailey’s in one hand and an espresso in the other. We’ve just come home from a day out in town. As it was just me and Victoria with little Sebastian in tow, we’ve been going in and our of shops for the most [...]

There is nothing worse than doctors appointments. You sit there, together with a bunch of losers, and you know they think the same of you. A waiting room where mums and their kids mix with the dying is one of those oddities which somehow manage to find a perfect equilibrium. The kids behave and the [...]

What makes up the woman? Her shoes, her dress, her way of walking? I say all, but above all and in a league of its own is her perfume. It says more than all those attributes that she may think is what people will note and remember her for. Perfumes, like music, has an almost [...]

The kind, well assorted shops did 50 years ago when the masses could rarely afford their content. Today, when [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
