Things we may think we need but don’t or things I never started buying
Lately or in the last few years we can often come across vlogs and blogs titled »things I’ve stopped buying« or something in that style. Having a minimalistic lifestyle has become somewhat trendy, which is, in its core, good for the environment. But how about never starting with all the consumerism in the first place? …

DIY cotton pads

An “average” day of a part-time blogger
On a work day. I have to start by explaining that my days aren’t filled with all-things-blogging related and why. We’re (my husband and I) currently renovating a house we bought a good year ago and are hurrying to move in as soon as possible. So most of my free time is dedicated to the …

Why all this consumerism? Why so much packaging?
Sometimes, with too much time on our hands, we get lost on YouTube. Sounds familiar? 😉 In my case, I “waste” my time on, among others, some beauty and fashion vlogs (even environmentalists fall for the cute things, guilty).

A part of me would be missing if it weren’t for Lara Croft
I first met the character at the age of about 13 years, my friend had the game. I was amazed by the story, Lara’s bravery and mostly, of course, her physical abilities. I dare say it affected my greatly and in a very good way. I will not be getting into the games, films and …
How to always be your true self and have fun wherever you are
This post was inspired by the book How to be Parisian wherever you are. I could start with the proverb: Always be yourself, there’s enough of everyone else already.
