Lifestyle
In this Lifestyle I’m writing about different topics like; Style, Beauty and Mind. As a single women in my early fifties, I experienced a lot of these topics. I need to say I’m not official an expert or doctor in any of these lifestyle areas, but I hope I can inspire you with my life experience.

Please let me know your feelings on my blogs and what your experience is so we can learn from eachother!
Don’t forget to check my Food section with great recipes and my love for Travel containing a lot of travel destinations with tips, recommendations and photo inspirations!

Use the Small Spaces
