About Me

Hey guys,

I'm trying to make these a weekly thing for 2017! So here is another "menu of the week" for you!

Hi everyone, my weeks are pretty crazy at the moment – doing an internship, tutoring, trying to work on my master thesis, going to super late classes at uni every now and then, and trying to keep up a social life... Hopefully your days are a little more relaxed, and you are enjoying the lovely snowy-white and crisp winter days...!

As my pick for the week I chose homemade Caramel Peanut Popcorn that can easily be made vegan by using vegan butter or margarine – yum! (Did you know it was National Popcorn Day on January 19th?!) Anyway – how good does CARAMEL and PEANUT sound?! (unless you're allergic to peanuts of course...) I wish I had some spare time to snuggle up on the sofa and watch a movie, munching on these yummy things... Speaking of munching, another great snack are these simple honey-or-agave-fried bananas that look absolutely delicious! Just imagine them on oatmeal or on toast with hazelnut/chocolate spread...!!

Now that your mouth is probably watering, let's jump to the party! :)

Yes, another DIY post!! One of my goals for this year is to make a bunch of beauty products at home, so this is my first attempt at that.

I have thought about making my own lip balms (and other beauty products) many time, but somehow I was always scared to do it. I thought it would be hard to make – or that it was hard to get the ingredients. Well, I made a big "natural and healthy stuff" order and boy, was it easy to make this lip balm!

(Plus, if you're looking for an easy homemade Valentine's gift for your girlfriend or an additional little something for Mother's Day later this year, this is a great option!)

Hey guys,

I have another week menu for you!

Hello everybody, I'm glad to have you back at out party! How has your week been going?

I'm still busy doing my internship at a small publishing house, which is quite nice, but I haven't really figured out the breakfast situation yet. As I have to leave the house at 8 a.m., I have to have breakfast at 7.30 or earlier – which is slightly problematic because I usually get hungry around 9 o'clock, I'm not an early eater. So basically I have to force myself to have an early breakfast because otherwise I'm going to starve by the time that lunch break (12.30) rolls around... sigh. Since I don't want feel like eating anything heavy in the morning such as oatmeal or bread, I'm thinking of making myself a smoothie for breakfast for the next week? My feature for this week is therefore a lovely creamy Banana Spinach Coconut Smoothie! Maybe this can solve my problem...

But enough rambling – let's party! :)

Being such a big fan of golden turmeric milk, it was just a matter of time before I made golden turmeric oatmeal. It's basically oats cooked in golden milk with a few twists to make a glowing breakfast bowl.

Creamy
Not too sweet

Warm
Filling
Comforting
Delicious

Hello everybody, the holiday season has officially ended now, and if I'm being completely honest with you, I'm actually kind of glad because now the linky parties are more versatile again, and not filled with nothing but How-To-Christmas-Decor and other things for Christmas and New Year's.

This week we have recipes, house projects, a sewing tutorial, food tips, decor and DIY body care. Something for everyone, I'd say!

Enjoy the party! x

First of all: welcome to a brand new year! It's the first Friday Favorites linky party of 2017, and I'm excited for all the things that this year may bring. 2016 was a year of contrasts, and for me it also sounded the bell for a time of transformation and change. However, a time of endings always heralds new beginnings, so I try not to worry too much. I always love the sense of possibility at the turn of a New Year and look forward to finding as many new possibilities and ways to grow as I can in 2017.

Now, I wish you all a good start into this fresh year - enjoy the party!

Most of us have made their resolutions for 2017 at the beginning of the year. How many of you plan to go to the gym at least once a week? How many are determined to quit eating junk food? How many want to make a change this year? As noble and great as your resolutions may be - most of us take on too much at once. Instead, commit to something more realistic. Such as an adaptable easy, but healthy and cruelty-free diet.

The best, most ideal (for the human species) diet is a plant-based, low-fat, low-sugar, whole food diet (basically: grains, greens, beans, and a smaller amount of fruits). I call it a "diet" but it's not something temporary. It's a way of eating and living - for life. And it's not as scary as it sounds, I promise ;)

Here are some tips on how to eat healthy long-term, and what I eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner on a regular basis.
