NoMo with my BFF
New York is the city that gives so many opportunities and the energy within which would empower anyone.. it’s also a city where you are surrounded by people all the time..but believe me, you can feel also quite lonely sometimes. I guess it’s a weird thing that might be applied or happening in big cities. As I turned 25 (yes I did!) my best friend Laura came to visit and this was the best birthday gift. We had time to catch up and enjoy ourselves in the big apple. Honestly, I’m so happy that she came, we had a great time and lots of laughs! See you in Zürich baby!…

Get away in Ascona
So a month ago I joined my beautiful friend Maya on a two days vacay at the Eden Roc Hotel in Ascona, Ticino. The sun, palm trees, the lake, the warm temperatures and the language – Italian, yes everything is united to make you believe that you are in Italy. Well, Ascona is located in Switzerland at the border of the Italian frontier which makes your stay even better. No need to change money or anything – you’re in one of the most beautiful regions of Switzerland. Seriously, the view from the hotel is spectacular. You can read some books and chill out while having literally your bare feet in the…

WHAT A PARMIGIANI FLIGHT IN HOT AIR BALLOON!
What a weekend in Gstaad and Château-d’Oex! Look at these colorful balloons flying smoothly in the sky. I had never been either to Château-d’Oex before or flown in hot air balloons. I was just bursting with excitement. It was the perfect day and weather conditions for an hour – way too short in my opinion, to fly over Swiss mountains. Hopefully, the snow had fallen a few days before in order to offer us an amazingly sunny and cold day – the kind of winter day that I LOVE; sunny, dry air and no wind. The international festival of hot air balloons happens once a year, and it was the first…

What about a culinary journey?
If you remember my Instagram stories well, last January I was cordially invited to the Loti, one of the tasteful restaurants from La Réserve Hotel in Geneva. I am sure that it rings a bell now… right? Correct, right after my juice detox I jumped into the train and went straight to Geneva for a delicious lunch. So first of all, you need to know that the Loti has a tree right in the middle of the room. Yes, it is a real one, that gets flamboyant ornamentations following the seasons and periods of the year. It was a first for me at the Loti, so you can imagine how…

May 2K17 be healthy
Again, on a detox cure? Yepyep, believe it or not, it is actually good. I did it to start this year on the right foot, I mean, after all, the feast I had during the holidays, I felt like my body will highly appreciate it. To sum up; three days, 21 cold pressed juices (vegetables and fruits) and me, including my very gourmand mind and my noisy belly. You do the math; yes, correct, 7 juices a day. Okay, I’m joking. The purpose was to clean my body, rest my stomach and liver, and detox from all ingurgitated toxins. A detox cure made by Fit’n’Tasty, a Swiss company. I only…

Lovely Lunch at LaDurée
Not long ago I savored a delicious lunch at the new restaurant LaDurée in Geneva. As you know already from blogs, Instagram, and other newspapers, LaDurée just opened a tea-room and restaurant at the Four Season Hôtel des Bergues. The place is simply magical, it is like a fairy tale. The famous designer and architect, India Mahdavi, who also imagined the incredible pink restaurant and bar, Sketch in Mayfair, London, is the one to celebrate for the space. I am a big fan of her work, including the new Valentino showroom, and I couldn’t be happier to have such an amazing spot in Geneva. You can eat all day, taste…

It’s Tea Time
Okay so tomorrow Forti is turning 25 years old, and if he was a girl I would have probably added something to my plan – heading over to Berlin. By something I mean: if we would have taken off from Geneva, I would have organized a quick stop by L’Hôtel d’Angleterre. If you enjoy sweet and salty pastries accompanied with a warm or cold tea, which brings an oriental – or any kind of scents, this is definitely where you need to go. The pretty hotel is located on Geneva’s quai and offers (all day) the possibility to savour an afternoon tea. If it is sunny as today you can…

Healthy lunch at La Réserve
It was a lovely day of July. I met up with the girls from the agency Sparkle. We had lunch at the Café Lauren, the restaurant of the spa, of La Réserve Hotel, in Geneva. The Café Lauren is a peaceful restaurant located within the spa of the hotel, offering diet meals with calories. Okay, we did not have the menu with the written calories, but for some clients who are following some cure, they might want to keep an eye on their food habits. It was, naturally, not our case, but who wouldn’t enjoy a delightful and healthy lunch? In appetizers, a tomatoes carpaccio and tartare for me,…

At the Kemp, the salad isn’t boring at all
I used to always say to one of my closest friend, Naomi – with who I lived for two years in a shared flat, that salads are super duper boring. Yes, I love eating, and by eating I mean I do eat everything. I am not complicated, there is just a few aliment that I would not be eager to savour. I just had simple thoughts about salads. I always kinda find salads boring, but Naomi proved to me that they aren’t. Salads can be great, just be a little bit more creative about these. And another example came to me a few weeks ago, at the Grand Hotel Kempinski Geneva.…

A Sunday lunch at the Royal Savoy
It was a lovely Sunday at the restaurant of the Royal Savoy Hotel, in Lausanne. A bunch of bloggers and journalists united for sharing a delicious meal altogether. I had the chance to seat with my beloved friend blogger Sofia Clara, and two gentlemen, both journalists. It was an interesting table with many subjects of discussions and of course, some incredible assiettes. We first went for four different entrees. We had some eggs with mushrooms, some quinoa salad including goat cheese and raspberries, knuckle terrine and seasonal asparagus with prosciutto. Each first meal were good and we shared every bite of those tasty plates. The concept is simple, served on Sundays,…
