Never Liked It Anyway – website sells unwanted gifts from bad breakups
What would Beyonce do? That’s what Annabel Acton thought to herself when her long-term boyfriend dumped her five days before Christmas. “I didn’t want to sit around crying and eating ice-cream,” Acton says. She didn’t want to wear the jewellery he had given her either, or look at the artwork they had bought together on her […]
Introducing Betty Blue
January 29, 2012
London’s bike scene is no joke. First of all, you are essentially risking your life on the road, with double-decker buses showing little to no mercy as they whiz past in morning rush hour. There are no friendly bike paths like in Berlin, and despite Boris’s promises, streets are filled with potholes certain to throw […]

So no matter where you live in this giant city, you can be […]
Authentic Italian food and entertainment at Bocca di Lupo
January 6, 2012
Now I wouldn’t exactly call myself an expert, but having lived in Italy for two years I’d like to think that I know a thing or two about good Italian cuisine. Not how to cook it obviously, but certainly how to eat it. Yesterday I dined at Bocca di Lupo, a restaurant that promises a […]
Daddy day care in Sweden
January 3, 2012
Walking around the streets of Stockholm this holiday season, I was truly amazed. Not by the lack of snow on the ground or the numerous Asian tourists following the steps of Mikael Blomkvist of Dragon Tattoo fame, but I was amazed by the many baby toting daddy’s.
