Struggling through an era of consumerism. If you would ask your parents about their dating life back when computers and cellphones were yet to be invented, believe it or not, their stories would be far less complex and merely as entertaining as yours. Indeed, the human species has evolved and so has its dating standards. […]
Many will say that the best cure to a hangover is not to over-drink in the first place. However, those who say that are simply hypocrites, control freaks or people allergic to alcohol. Let’s face it, hangovers can happen even to the best of us. Even to those who almost never drink and almost always conduct a […]
Have you noticed the world going crazy for #matcha lately? Or better – the world portrayed through the eyes of Instagram. Surely, you must have noticed how wellness bloggers and celebrities use #matcha for their stories as often as bikini models use #puppyface filters. Personally, I feel like it’s the only thing I see on […]
Why choose Trouville ?

Yesterday evening I went out to dinner and indulged in a mind-blowing meat course. After posting a few snaps of my delicious meal on Instagram, I was instantly challenged by my followers with the question: “What happened to your healthy lifestyle choices, Julsie?”. I want to reassure everyone that I continue to promote a vegetarian […]
You have probably noticed that solo travelling is currently in vogue. Maybe ten years ago you would be considered a ‘weirdo’ eating your pasta alone in a trendy restaurant, but today you will look cool. We do owe a lot to movies, such as Eat Pray Love and Into The Wild, for striking our wanderlust […]
Do you get crushes easily? I do. Ever since elementary school. When adults would ask me silly questions, such as “Is there a boy you like in your class?”, I would give out a list of three to four names. I just couldn’t pick one; I liked ’em all. My mother always laughed about it, and […]
