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

I woke up to Reinout and Sebastian arriving home. An hour earlier I had gone to bed with the mother of headaches, calling it a day with the promise to continue work in the evening. After dinner (steak again!) Reinout run another bath for me to relax and now I’m in bed planning to go [...]

It’s flashback time to the early 90′s and I’m looping one of my all time favourite “My Army of Lovers” from the Swedish extravagant and hedeonistic band with the same name. A cavalcade of sensual, erotic quotes comprising its lyrics, I can’t help but getting a certain “Emmanuelle” deja vu whilst listening. “A cherry moon [...]

It’s been one of those loooong days. Two meetings, one of which lasting for half a day. Dinner that didn’t work out so well on my part (I dread another veggie burger), numerous glasses of wines later and a late night business conversation with my hubby. Eventually I’m so tired of business, I make my [...]

The first time I came across an album of Putumayo was in a small lunch cafe on a side street off the Haarlem market square. It was one of those cafes that takes great pride in their organic coffee, vitamin infused smoothies and vegetarian sandwiches. Each time I walked through the door to order a [...]

The weather is great (finally spring is coming!!) and I feel like going for a run. In fact I want to kickstart my work-out regime this spring, doing a lot of running and targeted training for thighs, stomach and butt.

This day is infinitely better than yesterday. A lesson of salsa always helps, and a positive meeting too! Right now I am listening to some salsa music to get me in shape for tonight’s lesson at Club Fiera. Salsa has the power to make life look so damn positive. It doesn’t matter that it rains [...]

In bed with my espresso, reading the news and listening to Vmix, my favourite radio station direct from Paris. Wish you all a fab weekend! Charles Webster – The gift of freedom

I’m falling in love with…. Falling by SPIT It reminds of those club fuelled days, when life was one big party and the only worry on a single girl’s horizon was to find a good looking bloke to seduce and discard….all according to the latest advice by Cosmopolitan. Now where’s the party?

As I mentioned in a previous post, I’ve found the perfect radio channel for nocturnal listening. Vmix, broadcasted live from Paris, brings you the kind of sultry music which makes you want to put on those strappy heals, add a dab of Narcisse Noir on on the points of your pulse, finished off by a [...]
