The chop

Fragrance love: Le Labo
I don’t often fall in love with fragrances. Throughout the years I’ve tried several scents and lots of them were pretty good, but only few managed to keep their spot in my bathroom cabinet. Diesel’s Fuel For Life and BillyXClub’s City High have been two of my favourites for years, but there’s a new kid in town that’s about to…

8 years of Pielaun hairdo’s
Nothing better than a good throwback, ay? Since I got a lot of comments on my decision to cut a fringe earlier this year, I thought it would be a fun idea to look back to the different haircuts I’ve had ever since I started my blog. There’s not too many different ones, but 2014 turned out…

Lifegoal: the perfect night of sleep
Now that I got diagnosed with infectious mononucleosis a little while ago (I wrote about it here, don’t worry, in English it sounds a lot creepier than it is actually) and since there’s still some of the infection left in my blood, I cherish my sleep more than ever! Although I have survived several years with only…
