I bought this lovely knitted heart brooch today at a bake & craft sale at my university. Happy hearts day everyone! xo

to dine for!

Barcelona is THE city for fresh, tasty and inexpensive food. One of my favourite places was the Mercat de la Boqueria where you can find a plethora of delicious treats: vibrantly coloured exotic fruits, freshly squeezed juices, fish, cheese, nuts, mushrooms, you name it… fresh sea food, edible flowers! But just around the corner from the Mercat was my absolute favourite place, Veggie Garden (Carrer dels Àngels, 3). This colourful and friendly restaurant offered the most flavourful vegan dishes I've ever tasted! And it was so inexpensive. I ordered the menu of the day which included a main dish (either a thali, a seitan dish or a pumpkin dish with an incredible vegan cheese topping), a second plate of either a hummus platter or an avocado salad, a glass of organic wine or bottled water, and a dessert (I had the apple cobbler) -- all of this for only €8.25! Bon profit, as they say in Catalan!

I heart TOMS

How cute!

Falling in Love

And that's just what happens when you smell this sweet fragrance by Philosophy. Given to me as a gift by my best friend, Catherine, Falling in Love is a delicious berry scent that reminds me of love in spring - exciting, fresh, and romantic. It’s the perfect perfume for Valentine’s Day! What are your perfume picks at the moment?

English Books & Tea

Two of my favourite things in this world: tea and books. That’s why I loved English Books & Tea. Tucked away on a quiet street in Cologne, this quaint and peaceful bookshop offers new and secondhand English books and your choice of tea from their selection: English breakfast, earl grey, lemongrass & ginger, peppermint, and fruity herbal blends. I spent a golden afternoon with Ania, my lovely friend and travel buddy, in this delightful, cozy shop - sitting, chatting and sipping peach herbal tea. If you're ever in Cologne, you must visit!

MOST delicious desserts

This November, my sister and I were fortunate enough to meet up with my wonderful cousins, Mariann and Márton, in Budapest. Márton took us on a magical nighttime walk through the Castle Hill on the Buda side, a spot that offers the most spectacular views of Pest and the Parliament building. After, we met up with Mariann, who took us to MOST! Bisztró, a ruin-pub near Oktogon Square with a great atmosphere, creative decor, and some of the best desserts I've ever had! Although I regret not trying the main dishes, which looked equally mouth-watering, I did try the killer chocolate brownie, and my sister, the apple crumble. Both served à la mode, these desserts were a meal in themselves. I was too involved with my brownie to take pictures, so I "borrowed" these from the bistro's facebook page. A must-visit for any sweet-tooth.
