Destiny is like sailing
The eternal debate between fate and free will has kept more than one of us awake. Even in religion—at least in Catholicism, the culture I was brought up in—there is God Almighty, yet we’re still given free will. So even there, in the thick of belief, things aren’t that clear. I’m not religious myself, but…

2026 Social Media Refresh
This year, I want to change the way I consume the internet. I’m usually pretty good at controlling my social media usage. I don’t spend too much time on it. I avoided TikTok for the longest time, and I mostly try to focus on content that genuinely makes me happy. But last year changed a…

My top 5 Thrift Spots LA+
My love for thrifting started a long time ago, back when I was in high school, still living in Belgium. Two things drew me to it. First, I loved getting dressed — different outfits every day — but I had the budget of a 15-year-old. Second, I couldn’t stand the idea of wearing the same…

Old Dog Vestibular Syndrome.
It has been a while since Indiana stopped jumping—into the car, onto the bed, at the park… She was eight when the first signs of arthritis appeared, which wasn’t a surprise to me since she’s part German Shepherd, and joint issues are a known plague of the breed. So I got the joint treats, kept…

The Future is in the Past.
This is Del Sol. A 100% solar powered film camera made in …1995 Back in the mid-2010s, I got back into film photography—pretty much like everyone and their mother at the time. Just like vinyl records in music, film cameras made their comeback with the hipster movement—loud, nostalgic, and (in my opinion) for the better.…

When did Autumn become my favorite season?
It used to be Spring. It’s been about 3 years now that I have noticed the change. I used to hate Fall, especially back in Belgium, because it meant the return of the cold and rainy days, plus being back to school. It was so depressing. I am Spring baby, and that was always at…

Stuck at home
Long story short, it’s been almost a month now that our car is out of commition. The engine light turns on, then disappears. Which never matches my local mechanic schedule. So yeah, we haven’t been able to drive down the beach, or drive anywhere really. Here is what we’ve been up to: Enjoying the House…

Winter Garden
One of my interests, besides from furfing, is gardening. I was not born with a green thumb. I have killed numerous green plants in my lifetime, mainly because of negligeance and lack of water, pretty much I was lazy. Eventually I bought a house and with it came a garden! This time I was ready…
