Short story even shorter: I tell you about books I have recently read (came as quite a surprise, regarding the title, hm?)

Recent Reads – “A person of interest” by Susan Choi

When I went through my bloglovin feed earlier this year, a lot of people shared their New Years Resolutions. And apart from working out and sticking to their blogging schedule, the one thing that popped up over and over again was: Read more!

Sneak Peak – Spring

The fact that I am back to work full swing has lead to some changes in my personal and in my blogging life.

I did this before we embarked on our New Zealand adventure, as I didn’t want to have to try and…

La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+ with SPF 50 – not a fan | Doctors Review

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: PRODUCTS DISCUSSED IN THIS BLOGPOST ARE PURCHASED MYSELF AND LINKS USED ARE AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE THE BLOGPOST. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER   I will admit that I purchased the La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B 5+ SPF 50 by accident – I wanted the original one to see if the recent reformulation had made it worse (it didn’t), but because the tubes look incredibly similar and I was in a rush, I overlooked the tiny “SPF 50” on the tube.
