I’m starting to work on my New Year’s resolutions / vision for 2012 – call it as you may -, and I sadly must admit that doin’ more cultural stuff makes the list. Particularly museums. There were two things I thought I would be doing plenty of in Berlin, that I actually am not: visiting...
If you know me, you probably know how much I love coincidences and foolishly interpret them as “signs” coming from some superior power. I am perfectly aware it’s all in my head, but I do enjoy humouring myself and following the paths suggested by these mystical signs I keep on spotting everywhere. This is a...
I can’t say my childhood was filled with music, I don’t think it was. But I now realize that there were three major influences shaping my music taste: my mother, my father, and their ages. As a kid, there was often music playing, in the living room, in the car or when we’d go to...
I think people worry too much. And before you start getting all snotty at me, by “people”, I mean I worry to much. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately and decided to re-read a post I wrote about 3 months ago. Seriously, am I stressed out or what? Putting things into drawers? Planning?...

Sep 28, 2011 • So a couple of months ago we learnt about an organic farm that delivers fresh, organic produce to your door in the Lisbon area. Quinta do Arneiro is a farm with 3 hectares of organic produce. They also promote organic farming workshops and other interesting events. We decided to give it a go. We’ve long thought...
Although not related to Berlin nor Lisbon, and not even a capital city, Milan was an important part of my life. It’s where I had my first real job, where I moved in with my boyfriend for the first time and where I made some pretty important life experiences. Still, I ran away as fast...
As expected: what a weekend! Balancing Hello Etsy with having friends over was quite the challenge. Listening to inspiring people, meeting “virtual friends” in the real world and then finding the time to prepare dinner parties and go out for drinks can be exhausting. So sue me, but I have decided today is Sunday. So,...
I’m so behind on posts you might even notice I’m blushing through the screen. Right now, I’m in between weddings (not mine thankfully), in between jobs (which, in my case, equals idea-overload…need sleep!), in between diets (has to do with the weddings I guess) and in between posts. Tomorrow Hello Etsy: A Summit on Small...

Aug 30, 2011 • A couple of months ago, we decided to revisit a very special place in Portugal: Sintra. Sintra is historically a very passionate place, having seduced the souls of writers such as Lord Byron and Eça de Queiroz. It’s romanticism and simplicity are unmistakable, making it a place truly worth a visit. Sintra and its Serra...
A lot has been going on recently, and I haven’t been updating. I know. For now I’ll just post the second batch of #sbahnagram photos. Turns out I’m having fun with my little project.
This was an awesome weekend, quite unexpected too. This post right now is only a short diary about Saturday, but Friday evening and Sunday were pretty off the charts too. We were supposed to stay home the whole time, taking care of some stuff we’ve been neglecting during the last few weeks, since our rounds...
I’m not really into fake phone photo filters (try saying that out loud). In fact, I’m not even that into digital cameras to be quite honest, let alone phone camera apps with artsy-slash-wannabe-lomo-slash-I’m-so-vintage filters. But this time I’ve decided to be a bit of a hypocrite and give in to the wonders of the iPhone...
