Quick Update

Hey guys! I know I have not posted anything in the past three weeks but there is a very good reason for that: I didn't have any internet! Yes, it turns out it can be difficult getting internet in germany. Especially if you move into a freshly renovated appartment and they therefore have disconnected any cables -.-
So I am in Regensburg and I have to say, it's great here! I mean I didn't want to leave Leuven, but Regensburg is super pretty, University is fun and the people are all very nice. I am just posting some photos taken the past three weeks, tomorrow I will be leaving for Budapest, but I'll keep you posted.

Minimalist house in the Netherlands

This house is owned by graphic designer Karlijn de Jong. For her job, she works with lots of colors, so when she arrives home, "she prefers to unwind in a calm, subtle environment".  Drawing from strong Scandinavian influences and a monochrome palette of black, white and gray, de Jong created an exclusive apartment.

Blogilates

Due to a lot of problems with my shoulder, I had to stop sporting for a very long time. It wasn't easy to find a new way to exercise without pain, but as soon as a friend told me about this blog full of instructing videos for pilates, I knew I had to try it. And well, I love it! :)

Things we love... Last.fm

New In: Grace - A Memoir

Although we both like to read, reading is something that you do less and less the older you become. You cannot simply crawl up in your bed and read during the week since you have to work or study. And normally in the evening you're to beat to pick up a book and really read it (and by really we mean not just turning the pages and rereading every sentence ten times before you go on). Also, saturdays and sundays you do stuff with your friends and families so that's also not the best time. Well, the list goes on and on.
But with this book it's different. Grace - A Memoir, is not really hard to read and the content is not difficult to understand. Nevertheless, it's very entertaining, beautiful, charming and fun! So, what is it about?
