Our days were spent visiting several charming spots spread around the Paphos villages. Hidden garden cafes, taverns in squares and eateries with jaw-dropping coastal views. I wanted to write a little guide with suggestions of where you may go if you find yourself in the area.

Inspiration is a peculiar thing. It comes and goes, travels with the wind and if you try to seek for it, it likes to play games of hide and seek. But what happens when you need it? That is when I believe curiosity comes in - inspiration’s dista
Sundays are for lounging.😎 For those of you that joined me on doing June resolutions as a half year mark, how's it going? One of mine was to finish a book I've been trying to get through for ages. Having a sort of deadline reminded me to pick it up

Something new is coming next week! It’s exciting, slightly out of my comfort zone and I’m going to do it anyway. Cultural Centre Phaneromenis70 has asked me to close a current exhibition that is displayed outside their venue in old Nicos
All dressed up and finally somewhere to go! A gorgeous Saturday spent celebrating love and friendship with some of my favourite people on the planet. 💞 Here are a few snippets from an event we have quite literally being waiting for, for two years.
The live journaling sessions are returning! I wanted to restart them a while ago, then during our 2-week lockdown, but then work and life happened and it got pushed back. Thank you for all your kind words and your patience while I try to figure out w
