Hi friends,
summer is in full swing and we all want to keep screen time to a minimum. Hence, the next issues will be short(er) and sweet(er) so you can easily digest them in between pool visits, ice cream indulgence and SPF50 application.
While I will be on the road as of Thursday, I hope to bring some decent input to your mailboxes (think exciting brands, places to see, foods to eat).
Wishing you a sunny rest of the week and stay hydrated 💦
Julia
