    Travel Thursday!

    This is my travel map!

    Turns out: I've have been to 133 places in 34 countries. Only when I see this, I realise fully that I have already seen some magnificent places on this world. And how lucky I am to be able to this, but on the other hand it is a matter of priorities. I have this scratch card from Urban Outfitters, where you can scratch where you have already been! Very cool!!!!
    For the moment I am planning my next citytrip to Rome!
    Whenever I am planning a citytrip I always check out 
    The one and only source into the scandalous life of hotspots

    Of course without these 2 you're nothing either, but nowadays I find that on travelblogs you find a lot of interesting things off the beaten track and the guides stay behind a bit. Which is a good thing, since otherwise everything would be overwhelmed by tourists.

    I found some cute DIY projects to do if you are bitten by the travelbug and want to get the travel feel in your home.

    Because postcards, matchbooks, and coins tell the stories of our travels, but back home these trinkets tend to get lost in a junk drawer. Instead, give vacation souvenirs--as well as snapshots--a more fitting home with this project.This is a fun DIY project that I'm planning to do during a rainy night! This is also nice to visualise all the fun places you have been together.

    (found on: http://lifeblessons.blogspot.com)
    It is a fun visual reminder for the trips you took together

    And last but not least, I want this in my future dining room

    This weekend we had a big baking afternoon with one of my girfriends.
    We baked all afternoon and it was a very lovely easy sunday afternoon.

    My sweet man made apple muffins with a heart of speculaas pasta and a crumble of speculaas cookies on top
    We also made 3 batches of macarons hmmmm...
    Purple macarons covered with violet sprinkles and a pure chocolat ganache inside
    Pink Flamingo macarons with rose aromatic sprinkles in the cracks

    Heavenly white macarons with a strawberry filling with strawberry mash, balsamico vinegar, white chocolate, cream, sugar
    recipe for 30 macarons
    100 gr almond powder
    120 gr glazing sugar
    3 egg whites
    coloring
    and the filling you choose yourselves
