72-Hour Guide to Iceland: Reykjavik and Golden Circle (Part I)
Iceland has been on my bucket list for a while and I have finally got a chance to tick it off my list. I just came back from a short trip to Reykjavik and I have to say this was one of the best trips I have ever taken! From record snowfall and geysers to fermented shark and Blue Lagoon – my hubby and I have tried it all. If like me, you only can/want to get away to Iceland for few days, hopefully this 72-hour travel guide and general tips will come in handy. Day 1 Having arrived in Reykjavik in the evening there wasn’t much time left for…

Tuna Stuffed Peppers
It’s a new year and I have been trying really hard to adopt a new habit of eating clean (or as clean as possible!). With a kitchen cupboard full of tuna cans, tuna has become my best friend when it comes to quick and easy healthy recipes. Tuna is a great source of Omega-3 fatty acids and lean protein. So today, I am excited to share a great recipe – tuna stuffed peppers – for lean but filling dinner I made the other day. INGRIDIENTS 3 bell peppers, sliced in half and deseeded 2 cans of tuna (160gr per can) 1/2 can of red beans 2/3 can of sweet corn…

72-Hour Guide to Norway: Oslo (Part II)
Besides the Christmas walks and fun experiences around London that I have written about earlier, one of my favorite things to do each December before Christmas is visiting Oslo. My husband and I have discovered Oslo first time in 2014 in search of a snowy destination and have been going back every year since then. The city fits the bill for winter holidays for many reasons: there is lots of snow (which we love!), there is plenty to see and do both sporty and culturally, it’s efficient and safe, and it’s very cosy and welcoming. This is Part II of my blog post on Oslo, following earlier Part I. Day…

Weekend Getaway: Bath Christmas Market
As I continue the series of Christmas-related posts on what to see and do in London during the festive season, today I wanted to talk about Bath Christmas market. Bath (or more accurately Bath Spa) is a small but very beautiful and cosy town in Somerset and a UNESCO Heritage site, just 1.5 hour away from London. It’s very popular among the Brits and visitors, thanks to its renowned Roman baths, beautiful Georgian architecture, nearby world attractions such as iconic Stonehenge and great options for shopping, entertainment and eating out. I have been to Bath few times, but this trip was special as I ventured out to see Bath Christmas market.…

How to Fix a Bad Hair Dye Job: Tried and Tested
This year I had a bit of a bad hair situation. Since I have my roots done on a regular basis, my hair stylist suggested that from time to time I should have full head hair colour to even out the colour from roots to ends, which normally get lighter, and give it extra shine. Usually, she would apply semi-permanent colour that would come out darker than my natural colour but after a couple of weeks, it would wash out leaving my hair looking healthy and shiny. However, this time things have gone somehow wrong. My hair was very dark and as the time went by, it wasn’t getting any…
