My love affair with Mizuno Wave Rider
Love at first sight is not particularly one tenet I subscribe to. Ask any of my friends, and they’ll tell you that I’m probably the last person on the face of the earth to believe that. But when it comes to the Mizuno Wave Rider 14, I hardly think that “love at first sight” is rubbish. When I first laid eyes on a pair of wave riders, I immediately loved them. I knew I just had to have them. It was a selfish indulgence which I knew I deserved. Even before getting down to the nitty-gritty of the shoe, the candy colors they came in were more than enough reason to get them for myself. Suffice it to say, they were a sight for sore eyes. On days when I’m feeling particularly emotionally rundown, ...

Fitness enthusiasts need to eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly to really reap the benefits of a healthy regime, but, putting it into practise can be difficult. Temptation is never far away, whether it’s in the form of a takeaway or the possibility of a few drinks with friends.

Everything in moderation is a mantra to be mindful – and here, courtesy of Predator Nutrition, is a guide to which drinks you should have and ...

Seasons come and seasons go. With the passing of time, we witness nature as it changes its colors- from whites, to greens, to rich auburn shades.

Great Vienna Inventory Sale Loot
Vienna's inventory sale started early June and lasted until the early days of August. Whew!

Stylish Furniture from a Fashion Designer
When I was a child, there are many things I had hoped to become when I grow up. Two of those were to design my would be daughter's dresses and to design the would be home of my would be family. These happened to some extent but not fully. I was able to make my daughter a peach dress for a friend's wedding this year. There aren't so many dresses around here for that color and I probably would have paid about 120€ if I ever found one. Interior-wise, I was also able to design our humble abode somehow. Though I would have wanted something simpler yet sophisticated. I may not have lived those dreams of mine but I take great inspiration from one who did. It's no other than Japanese fashion ...
