Spring is here... although it is still very cold outside (last week it even snowed!!) and we are still dealing with Covid-19, I am happy the sun is shining, the birds are singing, the flowers are blooming.... there is light at the end of the tunnel!

It's almost Easter... one of my favourite holidays! In The Netherlands we celebrate by having Easter breakfast or brunch, with both sweet and savoury dishes. Today I got a delicious surprise by Vascobelo, a Belgian coffee brand & restaurant chain. Especially for Easter Vascobelo designed a box with goodies, called "Un Brunch de Pâques". And boy oh boy.... do I love brunch!!
The Vascobelo Easter Brunch Box includes a bottle of Cava, 2 bottles of freshly squeezed orange juice, 2 croissants, Easter bread, artisanal crackers, 2 soft boiled eggs, 2 poached eggs, scrambled eggs, smoked salmon, cheese, butter, jam, avocado toast, fruit salad and chocolate!
You can pre-order your "Brunch de Pâques" by contacting your local Vascobelo café or brasserie: www.vascobelo.be
Instagram: @vascobelocoffee
Email: nl@vascobelo.be; vbar.denhaag@vascobelo.be
The luxurious Easter Brunch box is available from 2-5 april 2021. Don't wanna go outside to pick up your brunch box? Then simply order via Ubereats, Deliveroo or Thuisbezorgd.
It's almost Valentine's Day... so it got me thinking... what am I going to wear? Hearts and heart prints are always a good idea for Valentine's, don't you think? Actually I like to wear heart prints all year long because they cheer me up (especially on a cold winter day). So tell me, what will you be wearing on Valentine's Day 2021?

It's been a while since I published one of my wishlists, but I thought I really have to make one again! So in case you're looking for the perfect Valentine's Day gift for your wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend, lover or special friend... here are some gift ideas!
Valentine's Day 2021 will be different of course because of the pandemic, but you can still make it a special day! Instead of going out for dinner, why not order a delicious and romantic meal at home? How about a Valentine's Day dinner box by one of your favorite restaurants, so you can support your locals and kill two flies with one slap?! I wish you all a Happy Valentine's Day.

It's Blue Monday! Yes... it's that time of the year again... the third monday in January, supposedly the most depressing day of the year. Well, since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, I'm not so sure that this is actually the most depressing day. We've all had rough times during the past year. I hope from now on things will get better, therefore.... Happy Blue Monday!
The funny thing is, I actually love the color blue. So in case you need cheering up, here's some blue colored fashion and travel inspiration. Hopefully we will be able to travel again very soon. I can't wait to pack my bags and board a plane! Which destinations are on your Post-COVID-19-Travel Bucket List?
