Les Marolles

Les Marolles (the workers quarter) has to be one of my favorite areas in Brussels. 

I cant help but get inspired every time I stroll through the area, filled with cute little side streets, quirky shops and art work on the walls. I truly recommend going there next time you are in Brussels!

 

Easter Treat Bag

How cute is this little bunny bag for Easter pressies? I saw this adorable treat bag the other day and just had to share.

Hope you all have a wonderful Easter!

Magical Snails

Never have I seen snails in this light and will always look at them as the magical creatures they are.

Photographer Vyacheslav Mishchenko has made me fall in love with snails, through his magical photos.

Piece of Amsterdam

One of my favorite places to visit is Amsterdam. I adore the little cute canals and streets, filled with corky and fun shops that you cant help but fall in love with.

Here are a few memories I have from my last visit, they may just inspire you to go:

Bite Size Cream Puff Desert

I love being served bite size desserts when out for dinner. My idea of a good dinner is not about being filled up like a stuffed Christmas Turkey, instead having lighter courses that electrify your senses.

A few days ago I had dinner at a friend's house and was served the sweetest tinny dessert in a cup and just had share the idea!

The dessert was a little cream puff served with whipped cream,  raspberries and mint. So simple right?
Trust me, it is a single bite of heaven and truly a must try.

Dandoy: Not only for good kids

One of my favourite places to get pressies in Brussels, Belgium is Dandoy. Founded in 1829, they still carry their legacy until today.

They are notoriously known for their speculoos cookies, all 100% natural ingredients.
Not only are the cookies to die for, but their packing is adorable, always making for a great present.

Spicy Burritos

I had a lovely relaxing weekend, filled with easy dishes and good wine.

Last night we made spicy burritos, served with a glass of cold strawberry red wine sangria and just had to share. Hope you will get inspired to wrap up a hot mexican fiesta this week.
