WEEKEND READS #23

Weekends are the perfect time to sit back, relax and enjoy! And what better way to do that than discovering great recipes, exciting travel destinations, new restaurants and interesting articles? Once per month I’m sharing with you my favorite weekend reads from the blogsphere and beyond to keep you inspired. I’d love to hear yours so do share!

If you follow me on Instagram you probably already know that I’m currently in Greece for holidays. A few people have asked me which islands to choose, so I put together a board on Pinterest specially dedicated to all the island gems that make this country so beautiful. And if you need more tips, check my posts on Lefkada, Mykonos and Kythira.

 If you’re still around Brussels and want to make the most of summer, try something new: drinks at one of the best terraces in town, a day at the Botanic Garden in Meise or a short trip to France to visit Monet’s Garden.

♥ When I’m on holidays I make sure to indulge while sticking to healthy food as much as possible. These matcha mango smoothies are refreshing, easy to make and absolutely delicious. 

If you are a shutterbug like me, these tips for taking better photos when you travel will definitely come in handy. And remember: it’s ultimately all about having fun with it! 

Hope you all have a great weekend! x
