Homes ask little questions all the time. Quiet ones. A hinge loosens. A shelf sags. A frame looks… off. Good hand tools turn those moments from background irritation into quick wins – not because you’re trying to cosplay a contractor, but because you want control, speed, and that calm feeling of “handled it”. Here’s the […]
I was just craving a good sandwich when I ended up at Le P’tit Normand, right in the heart of Brussels near Grand Place. It was meant to be a quick bite, but it quickly turned into one of those unexpectedly memorable food stops. From the street, it looks like just another takeaway counter. Small […]
I’m usually not one to get excited over sweet shops. But while strolling around Brussels, La Belgique Gourmande immediately caught my attention. There was something about the colourful displays and the way the candies were arranged — very Harry Potter–like, almost magical. So of course, I had to go inside. The moment I stepped in, […]
You don’t need a sprawling yard to create a garden that feels alive and inviting. Outdoor planters give you the freedom to shape your space, whether it’s a balcony, patio, or full backyard.

Daily Chicken is a family-friendly Korean restaurant by the team behind Daily Beer. They specialise in Korean […]
Chez Léon was on my to-eat list the moment I arrived in Brussels. Really wanted to try a traditional Belgian meal and this place kept popping up everywhere when I did my research. Established in 1893, this family-owned spot is best known for its mussels and frites. No fancy concept, just good Belgian food done […]
Galet was literally next door to our hotel in Brussels. We spotted it on day one whilst exploring the area – just a minute’s walk away. Perfect for a breakfast stop one morning. The Coffee at Galet We went for a regular coffee (€3) and a Macchiato (€4.80). Right off the bat, both were pretty […]
We were wandering around Brussels when we spotted this long queue snaking outside Fritland. Classic sign of good food, right? Problem was, we’d just smashed a heavy lunch and honestly couldn’t stomach more food at that point. Mental note made: come back later when the queue dies down. Which we did. Can I just say, […]
