Roulotte

source

I always wanted to own a little vacation house, a place where you can go in the weekends and holidays to get away from it all, some sort of hide away. Well, I changed my mind. I no longer want a vacation house, I now want a vacation Roulotte (don't know the English name). After seeing the pictures above, I'm kinda obsessed with them. Most of the roulottes you see above are designed by a very talented lady named Jeanne Bayol. Simply amazing!

Blue Hotel

Some songs I like immediately, some songs I like after hearing them a few times and some songs I never liked until I hear them in a specific setting. Do you know that feeling when you hear a song you never noticed or liked before at a specific moment, in a specific mood, and suddenly the song sounds so perfect and you wonder why you haven’t noticed it before? Those rare moments when it feels like you're suddenly in a movie and the song seems like the perfect soundtrack. I love that feeling.
These two songs remind me of such moments.


Waiting in a dark bar for my boyfriend to arrive, gazing out the window at the people walking by in the cold. Suddenly the bartender put this record on.

Pakistani chai

Pakistani chai tea is one of my favorite drinks! I just can't get enough of it. Plus it's so easy to make! This is the recipe I use (for approximately 3 to 4 mugs):
Take a saucepan and add 500 ml water to it. Put 3 teabags black tea (I use lipton black tea), 6 cardemom pods and a cinnamonstick (optional) in the water and bring the water to a boil. Let the water boil for a few minutes and then add 500 ml of milk. Bring to a boil and voila, you can enjoy your chai!
I think I will try soymilk instead of normal milk next time...

Such a cute band!

Fifi

The latest issue of '101 woonideeën' must be my favorite so far. Every housetour in it is so inspiring and colourful. One of them features the house of Fifi Mandirac. I just discovered she has a wonderful blog (besides her super cute online store). She really is very talented!
