25 things I did to simplify my life
The other day I found myself thinking about my journey in minimalism and simplicity.

Review: You Need A Budget
You need a budget. Come on now, of course you do. We all do!

Photos from New York 2015
I know I’m late posting these, but finally I managed to write a post about my summer trip to NYC. We stayed for 10 days and had a ridiculously great time.

What’s not to love?That’s me in our hotel bed, watching real American morning TV with my English Breakfast tea and Greek yoghurt.
