This week I am totally obsessed with fluorescent fixie bikes. They are just perfect. And they glow in the dark. I have nothing more to say other than I might need one.
Have a great weekend and I'll meet you here on Monday!

The Tunnel of love

In some countries, the month of May is a month of love. I couldn't think of anything better but this ravishing foliage space that lovers use as a charming passageway to make a wish. And if your relationships stands strong, the wish will come true.

Located in Ukraine near the small town Kleven, the local train formed this uncanny formation by going back and forth three times a day. It's known as the most beautiful place in their country and I could easily see that. I wish I could walk the 1,8 miles of  green magnificence with my husband. What about you? Would you take your sweetheart to the romantically shaped tunnel of love?

Speaking of which, make sure to kiss your darling under the blossom tree today! (a tradition from my home country).

Wish you a happy May!

From around the world

Hello there, how was your weekend? I am trying not to think about my mom's last days here. Instead of that, I am focusing on every single second I spend with her. On the weekend we were cruising the oh so beautiful San Diego and enjoying the gorgeous weather. I have to pinch myself, how lucky am I to live in such a lovely place?
If somebody said 2013 is going to be the year of lot of changes, they were probably thinking of our family. I can't even wrap my head around what is going to happen soon, even though I keep telling myself that every change is always for better. And yes, if you knew our family, nothing should surprise you anymore, we like to live anything but ordinary life. I will end with this quote that fits us the best at this moment: "Don't be afraid of change. You may loose something good but you may gain something better".
Have an amazing week!

I like this cute blog.

Tumi travel scale. Before your trip, do you always wonder how much does your bag weigh? You step on your scale with and without your luggage, trying to figure out if you went over the limit or if you can add some more? Well, I have a better solution to your bag weight mystery.
A few years ago, we bought this little helper and I can honestly tell you, it works like a charm. You simply hang it on your suitcase and lift it up. It's going to save you time and money and it's a great companion for your travels!
What about you? Any tips that makes traveling a bit easier?

DIY: Wreath

I've always wanted to make a wreath, not only because it makes me simply happy coming home to see my own creation but also because the wreaths out there are not so eye candy catching. Do you have the same feeling? So I finally made this one.

What you need:
a hot glue gun
a wreath (I bought a strawed one)
yarn
anything you want to put on it (Michael's has a great selection)

Just wrap the yarn around the wreath and use your hot glue gun to fix the ends. This is probably the most grueling part. After that it becomes fun. Use any decoration you like, again with the help of a glue gun. There are only so many possibilities and the resources are bottomless! Have fun!

Tulip fields

The month of April is a very special month for a certain country in Europe - the Netherlands. Flower fields are blossoming with proud tulips of every shape, color and size that have been planted precisely a few months ago. Thousands of people come visit to see the colorful parade that seems to be never ending, miles and miles of  prettiness.

I don't know about you, but I've always pictured walking through a flower fields not very amusing. Well, until I've seen The Keukenhof Gargens. They are arguably the most famous gardens in the Netherlands and definitely the most picturesque looking. You can enjoy a walk through the tulip paradise that looks and feels like a royal retreat. I can only imagine the wonderful redolence that surrounds you there. The best part? You can rent a bike for 10 Euros and have a ride that definitely doesn't happen every day. Are you in? Hurry, the blossoming festival ends very soon!
