The power of photography, NYC through the lens
Today, I would like to inspire you with an interview with Levy Bergman, a 40 y.o. Hungarian photographer living in New York City. Levy and I decided to bring together our expertise and collaborated on a photoshoot at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a place symbolising our common enthusiasm for art and history.

Why re-arranging your wardrobe is good for your mindset
Take a few minutes to picture yourself selecting and pulling out your favorite outfit from a perfectly organized wardrobe. Not rushing around trying to find items. Fully dressed in 5 minutes, you can enjoy a delicious breakfast with a large cup of coffee... and maybe even post it on Instagram (#coffeelover #coffeeaddict #goodvibes).
