Friday's Favorite Snapshots


Today I want to talk to you briefly about my concept of happiness. I consider myself a happy man. I think of factors like family, love, friends, professional life, my blog, my readers (yes you!). All these bits fuel my inner balance, my positive attitude towards life, my optimism and thus my happiness. For me, these elements fortify the base of my happiness and all those other little tidbits that I blog about let it grow on a daily basis. Just like my last visit to the Muji store.

I headed to the local Muji store cause I had to stock up on coloured pens for a guest blogger project. Once in the store, I couldn't help but roam around and get inspired by the simplicity and sophistication of Japanese design. And the great colour pops. Consequently, I brought back some coloured pens as well as a cute little notebook with multicoloured pages and tiny post-its. The final result are these two snapshots - I love how the colours come to life and remind me of the joys of life. I hope they will bring a tiny bit of happiness to your Friday, too!

Inspired By Japan


These days Japan is on my mind. In the news, I was reminded that a year has passed since the terrible natural disaster. And then I've thought about the Japanese people. How disciplined they are. How persevering and courageous they are. How strong they are behind their silence and courtesy. And I decided: I admire them! 


A few days later, that is today, I went to my favorite Japanese store here, Muji, to buy a few goodies for my home. Then I unrolled all my previous thoughts about Japan and Japanese people over again and realized I had to add something more: They are also incredibly talented! With Japan I associate sleek, sophisticated design. I think hardly any other people manages to combine design and usability into every day products that well. To cut a long story short: I headed to Muji and bought an incredibly cool bin made of recycled phone books (as seen here on the blog). Now tell me, isn't this a super design for an ostensibly unpretentious little home item? Here's to Japan!
