Scents of Desire
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 [...]
A certain quintessential lifestyle
Everyone have dreams and my dream is living on the country side, not too far from Paris in a chateau. Yes you heard it right. Not a farm or country house but a chateau. Luckily there are chateaus for sale, that are not too expensive, but in need of a lot of renovation so there [...]

In the land of the blind…
I’m reading an excellent book, The First Crusade by Thomas Asbridge. The tagline “the roots of Conflict between Christianity and Islam” makes it all the more interesting. Although not a brick in book terms, it’s heavy and when I’m tired, sometime between the hour of 12 and 1 am, I manage to get past a [...]
The good obedient wife
This is about to become a really boring blog. I shall only write about shopping (which I never do), work (that I don’t have, but to make myself seem important write about anyways), and my sessions at the gym (which are surprisingly at a frequent ratio of about 4 times per week).

Goals and priorities
My blogging is becoming somewhat erratic. I have to force myself to take time for it, just like the gym and even spending time with family and friends. The enemy to my hobbies spells OnlineSalsa.com . It’s a good enemy though, in fact my best friend at the moment, providing a boost of energy. But [...]
Spring is in the air!
I long for two things, spring and a good party! We’re lucky as we have a south facing garden which brings a lot of light into our house. It completely showers our rooms in sun light. I remember when I bought this house, it was almost 4 years ago. Me and my now ex husband [...]
Let’s roll!
Today was the last day the maternity nurse was with us. It’s been great having someone here to help out with Sebastian. I’ve felt at times like a princess having got my breakfast and lunch in bed, my bed sheets changed, laundry done… But the last days I started to long for my own privacy [...]
Long lost friendships found again
When Sebastian was born I sent out an email to friends and acquaintances of the big happening in my life. The response was immense. I have gone through emails for days now and finally I’m getting to the point that my inbox is cleared and I can resume my work related tasks again. What is [...]
