Time to take a look at the past 12 months. What have I been up to personally and professionally? What were my favourite books? TV shows? Songs? Stuff? I’m also taking a closer look at my ecological footprint: how did I do this past year, and where can I improve? Obligatory New Year’s resolutions included. Cheers!
Read MoreI’m starting to sound like a broken record when I say I’m as partial to a getaway in a cabin/tiny house as the next city-dwelling millennial. I wrote about my stays at Nutchel and at a refurbished vintage trailer before, and my bucket list of tiny weekend getaways is far from complete. I’ve been extremely busy with work and studying for an exam, so it felt wise to book a short trip to force myself to take some downtime.

However, the few perfumes I consider my darlings are an indispensable part of my wardrobe. Would I, despite my picky ways, still be able to find a new match for me when limiting myself to the vegan, cruelty free segment? Let's find out.
Read MoreWhether for the aesthetics, the lifestyle or just as a way to slow down and recharge from the daily hustle and bustle, the internet has grown to LOVE cabins. I (along with millions of others) have been watching tiny house channels over the last couple of years, mainly for inspiration on small space living and sustainable living solutions. I love life in the city way too much to adopt the cabin lifestyle, but as a no-frills, back to basics getaway? It sounded mighty appealing.

Veganism undoubtedly has the smallest ecological impact when compared to diets that include animal products, but can someone who has not committed to this lifestyle leave a restaurant fully satisfied after a vegan meal?
