THE ART OF BEING IN A RUSH

I must confess: punctuality is not one of my strengths. Yes, I am that kind of person who will tell you they’re on their way while they aren’t even dressed yet (sorry everybody who ever had to wait for me!). BUT: I somehow manage never to be late more than 10-15 minutes and I’ll never… Continue reading THE ART OF BEING IN A RUSH

SLOW LIVING & A TWO TONE LOOK WITH A TWIST

EN: Slow living is a lifestyle emphasizing slower approaches to aspects of everyday life; away from the fast pace of big cities, take a step back and start consciously enjoying life.
