You know how the most spontaneous things in life turn out to be the best things in life? Well, after last weekend I can confirm this again! After a very stressful week, my husband and I jumped in our car at 7:30pm on Friday night to drive up to the most special and historic hotel in Louisiana. From Houston, that is a 4,5 hours drive, but what can I say...
Living abroad is a true dream! Especially in Houston, Texas, where I currently live. The weather is amazing, the food is delicious and the people are super friendly and fun. The only thing that is making it a little difficult, is being far away from my friends and family in Amsterdam. So when we go back, we try to see as many of them as we can. It...
Even though we just arrived in Houston and haven't had that much time to discover our new home town, I went on another little road trip to explore more of the South. This time, I visited Louisiana, which border is only two hours away from Houston. It is the state that is known for jazz, culture and alligators. Louisiana, and its biggest city New Orleans, were largely influenced by...
It is not without reason that Maui is one of the most popular islands to visit in the world. It has the nickname “Valley Isle” and is the second biggest island of Hawaii. It has two volcanos, beautiful beaches and many adventure possibilities. Here you find the best mix of nature, beach (snorkelling, diving and surfing!), great food, delicious cocktails, shopping and wellness. I am still beyond excited about...
Last month I enjoyed the most perfect night with the most elegant and delicious wines at Belga, a popular restaurant in San Francisco. The most talented influencers and bloggers were all invited to be introduced with the newest Spring Wine Club by Keller Estate Winery. This is a family vineyard, located in Petaluma in the Sonoma Coast area which is only a 50 minutes drive from San Francisco. This estate...
It seems like everyone is longing for the beach these days. Which isn't strange, as Spring officially arrived last week. It makes us long for the sun, the long summer nights and the warm weather. Some of us, like me, escaped to a secluded tropical island to meet summer a little bit earlier this year. As you might know, we went to Maui three weeks ago, and it was...
When you fly to Maui, you will see nothing but sea when you look out of the airplane window. For 5,5 hours up in the sky, you can only see water which made me realise that the Pacific Ocean is so big. It looked so pretty from up above and I started wondering what would live beneath, in the deep - deep - waters. I was therefore very happy that...
Now that Spring is officially here, it is very important to prepare for the summer in style. Because we ladies want to shine on the beach, in the most elegant way. I'm very picky when it comes to swimwear as I want my swimwear to be unique, colorful, elegant and fun. And I finally found a designer that gives me all that I want. BOAMAR Swimwear is a fashion label that...
When I was packing for Maui I found it hard to decide what to bring. I had never been to Hawaii so I did not know exactly what to expect. So I needed to bring dresses that I could dress up and down and could wear day and night. And one of those dresses was this cute black embroidered dress. Because whether went for a walk on the beach...
'Just sit down, relax and in a few hours you will arrive in paradise', the captain said when we entered the plane that was going to take us to Maui. From San Francisco it is a 5,5 hours’ flight before you are able to set foot on one of the islands of Hawaii, which is the most secluded place on earth. We picked Maui to celebrate our one-year anniversary,...
