The Croisstantaire, October 2013 By the time this is posted, I will (hopefully!) be visiting this quaint little Croisstantaire again in central Amsterdam, after having shopped hard and fast. I love travelling to Europe and basking in the food, the shops, the people, the architecture and the atmosphere, but this particular voyage will have many …
I used to think it was hopeless and I should just give it up. But I couldn’t stop until I found myself a good girl to be in love. I checked every state and city and looked all around the world. And I’m proud to say that my search ends here. Cuz your one in …
Those who truly love you and your life, and are proud of your accomplishments, are always the one who go out of their way to celebrate your joys, even if they can’t physically be present. This beautifully hand-made, bespoke designed gift of love was received as a Christmas gift by a dear friend who wasn’t …
Corporate Christmas Party Steeze – Theme: Northern Lights You know we always have a great time going to parties, and as the Great Gatsby so aptly put it, large parties as so intimate.

Last night, after almost a year in our new home, we finally hosted (our very first) house warming party. The response from our friends and family was overwhelming! Champagne flowed, people devoured all the delicious (home-made) treats my beautiful fiancee crafted, and my baby brother (the resident DJ at the Schloss) kept the beats bumpin’ …
Today’s the day I celebrate the birth of the human being physically responsible for bringing me into this world. I always make it a point to ensure that birthdays are celebrated and the birthday person feels special and loved. It seems the older you get, the less people tend to celebrate (and I guess people …
To be honest, I’ve always related with Charlie Brown; my last name is Charles, and I am in fact brown .. but truth be told, when I first moved to Canada with my family, Charlie Brown’s Christmas Specials were a large part of my North-American-Christmas socialization.

Paris, France / November 2013 Last year at this time, I was strolling through Paris enjoying the gorgeous view of this beautiful historic city. Today all I’m doing is reminiscing and planning my next adventure in the French capital. Although its not my favorite city per se, Paris has such a magical charm on me …
