Maisons du Monde’s Berlin Store

The best thing about moving into a new apartment is always that fresh start. Along with it comes the chance to decorate your new space. We move every couple of years due to my husband’s job and while moving is always stressful, decorating our new home is always something I look forward to. There’s something so exciting about looking for new places to get your decor in your new city. Here in Berlin, there’s no shortage of such stores – both online and offline – but one of my favourites has got to be Maisons du Monde.

Video: 11 Tips for Balance a.k.a. Minimalism & Tidy-Living without the Pressure

Hello, everyone and happy new year! I’m probably the last person to send that greeting out into the internet as it’s almost the end of January. And here I am, coming out with content only now. Alas, life got the best of me – from events, travelling, and down to projects. The usual shebang. I also got sick for a week! January 2019 seems like a bad time for health as so many people I know got sick as well. My husband even had to make a quick trip to Manila to tend to a family emergency (but all’s good now!). This year already feels longer than it actually is. However, despite the pretty challenging start, I think it is still a good time for a lifestyle check or shift. If you ever wondered what it’s like to live with a little less, go for tidy-living, or even give Minimalism a try, I have a video for you on how you can ease into such a new lifestyle.

My husband and I live quite a practical life without letting go of the things we love to do and enjoy having. And I think it’s something worth sharing after being asked about it so many times. If you have tips of your own, please leave them in the comments! I’d love to learn more about you guys and pick up new things.

See you guys again soon!
