Christmas shopping for everyone, including the dog. The Kong toys, Benefit makeup and Paul Mitchell shampoo are things we use at home. The rest are gifts I'm buying this year for friends and family: cosy and practical things for him, LEGO and art sets for the kids, and a few treats for the dog. Under $25 to splurge-worthy.

My dog comes everywhere with me, from Berlin to hotels all over Europe. Here's what makes life with a dog easier for us: a proper orthopedic bed, a growing Kong collection, plush ducks and dolphins, rope toys for the teeth, and the gear for long walks.

What's in my bathroom right now. The curly hair routine I finally stuck with, the Korean skincare I use in my 40s, and makeup that actually lasts. At the end, a few things I haven't tried yet but want to.

The tech I use for work and life, at home in Berlin and on the road with my dog: MacBook, iPhone, iPad, my Wacom tablet and a foldable portable monitor that turns any hotel desk into an office.

Renting changed how I dress and how I shop. With Le Closet I rent clothes and accessories and renew my wardrobe every month without spending a fortune. More favourites coming soon.

I travel around Europe with my dog, so almost every hotel here is dog-friendly. A few are from work trips. These are the places I keep going back to.
