Welkom op de Di Alma blog!
Ik ben Esther en stagiair bij Di Alma. Naast stage lopen, blog ik de leukste tips en inspiratie op interieur gebied.
Voor de feestdagen heb ik de luxueuze geurkaarsen van Baobab gekozen die ontzettend leuk zijn om cadeau te doen of om te krijgen. Ik kwam op het idee toen we in september op de beurs in Parijs waren (Maison & Objet).
Door de verschillende maten kan u zelf kiezen hoe duur u het cadeau maakt. Van klein en lief tot stoer en groot.
Hieronder de filosofie, informatie en de verschillende geuren van Baobab!

Of the three, the Pyramid of Khephren is the only one that
retains part of its original polished limestone casing near its apex. It
appears larger than the adjacent Kheops Pyramid by virtue of its more elevated
location and the steeper angle of inclination.
MykerinosThe third and more modest sized Pyramid is Mykerinos, along with a number of smaller satellite edifices known as "Queen's Pyramids". Mykerinos chose to have a smaller pyramid built for himself in order to protect his people from too much suffering.
