Heeeeey guuuuuys,

(sorry 'bout that.) So I handed in my master thesis on Tuesday (yaaay), and now I'm off to Vietnam! Since we are mostly going to eat out on our vacation, there is no point in posting any weekly meal plans for the next 4 weeks, but don't worry, I'll be back with loads of new home cooking ideas after that! For now, here's what we ate last week :)

Heyo, fellow yogis and yoginis! 

As you may know from this Get Healthy With Me post I finally got around to do the free Revolution program from Yoga with Adriene on youtube for the past 31 days. I like to challenge myself every now and then – Day Zero Project, 1 Month Self Love Photo-A-Day, 10 Day Alkaline Diet Detox, 1 Month of No Sugar, now 1 Month of Yoga, and maybe 1 Month of De-cluttering or 1 Month of Meditation or a Digital Detox in the future? – to expand the limits of my body as well as my mind. It's amazing what we humans are able to do. We only have to try!

Today I want to talk about how 31 Days of Yoga changed me. Gosh, that sounds dramatic!

Hey guys,

I sound like a broken record when I say this but I'm on the FINAL SPURT of finishing my master thesis, next Wednesday is deadline, so you can imagine my sky-high stress levels at the moment. Nevertheless, my boyfriend and I have been active in the kitchen, and here's what we came up with as meal ideas for last week :)

IT'S PARTY TIME!

Hey guys!

When you read this, I will be at my grandma's house who is about to turn 75 years old, so of course we are going to celebrate by spending the weekend together, riding our bikes along the riverbed, eating ice cream, window-shopping, book shopping, eating cake and talking :) 

What are you doing this weekend? If you are in the mood to do some cleaning, I'm featuring 4 Natural Cleaning Supplies You Can Make Yourself this week!

Now happy partying!

Over the past few weeks and months I have been working on my master thesis and I reached my personal limits more than once. It was a long and painful process of constant stress, and headaches, exhaustion, irregular periods and emotional instability were its results (plus a 224 pages long thesis). Even though I'm very sensitive to stress, I don't always realize it in time and I often end up with anxiety and strained nerves. Who can relate?

BTW: When talking about anxiety, I'm not referring to chronic anxiety and panic attacks (for that sort of anxiety toolbox check out Sophie's wonderful blog post on that!), but rather the sort of "everyday anxiety" that comes with exam stress, term papers, an overly tight schedule and our general busy lifestyles.

Here are my methods to deal with stress and stress-induced anxiety:

Hey guys,

I'm currently still finishing up my master thesis, so my boyfriend has been cooking the majority of our dishes this week again. Enjoy! :)

IT'S PARTY TIME!

Hello friends!

How has your week been so far? Mine was kind of a bumpy ride. For the past few days (and weeks) I've worked on my master thesis from 7 a.m. till 10 p.m., sometimes even later, all the while trying to keep my blog going and also doing tutoring twice a week. Now my master thesis is 98% done, and I'm feeling much better. Also, the 31 Days Yoga Challenge is doing me a world of good, as I do feel much more balanced and energized after each yoga session. Other than that I haven't done anything really, so there won't be a weekly round-up today.  

Please note that we are still looking for new fellow party-hostesses, so if you are interested in being a part of the Friday Favorites linky party, just fill out the form at the very end of this linky party :)

Now happy partying!

These lovely strawberry scones were part of the big Mother's Day picnic my parents, my boyfriend and I had in a local rhododendron park (that was in full blossom!) on Sunday. This was sort of an improvised recipe because we had some leftover frozen rhubarb and strawberries in the freezer, but the outcome was

fluffy
light
summery
slightly sweet
satisfying
& delicious.

Feel free to use any other kind of fruits instead of the strawberries (blueberries or blackberries sound lovely), and use more sugar for a sweeter version. Same goes for the jam. Also, if you aren't quite the berry-type, my orange walnut scones might me more to your liking.

Hey guys,

this week I'm a very lucky girl because my boyfriend made all of our dinners so that I could work on my master thesis and blog in the meantime – isn't he just the sweetest? Anyway, so the credit for the meals this week go to him! Enjoy! :)

IT'S PARTY TIME!

Hey there party peeps!

Do you have all your Mother's Day gifts ready? I don't :D But I'll take my mom (and dad and boyfriend) out for a picnic in the open on Sunday. I won't say anything more about it though because I know that my mom reads my blog ;-) So instead, here's what happened this week so far: 
 
  • Explored London last weekend with my boyfriend – we walked about 90km, went to every single park in search of squirrels (finally found some in St. James's Park and took heaps of photos with them of course), admired the city at night, ate the most scrumptious peanut butter chocolate pie at a vegan bakery/café (Cookies and Scream) as well as a delicious Ethiopian plate at the Old Spitalfields Market (Merkamo Ethiopian), and stuffed our faces at the best and cheapest all-vegan Chinese restaurant in Camden (Dou Dou).
  • Discovered another great vegan recipe website (Vegan Family Recipes) and have already put their DIY Coconut Butter on my to-do list. Looks sooo good!
  • Ended my sugar-free month and shared my tips on how to quit sugar in a recent blog post.
  • Currently participating in the free 31 Yoga Revolution Program by Adriene Mishler, so if you want to join me: we are now on day 11 :)
  • Adoring those too-good-to-be-real Succulent cakes, aren't they just so adorable?!
  • By the way, if you are still looking for a way to Pamper Your Mom on Mother's Day, Mary of The Boondocks Blog shared some lovely gift ideas over on her website! Apart from that, my feature this week (Easy Handmade Hand Lotion from Angie) is also a great last-minute Mother's Day gift.
  • If you are wanting to pamper yourself (which is always a great idea), head over to Sophie's side and read about her great tips to Build an Anxiety Toolbox!
  • Once again I would like to point out that you can still find a form at the end of the linky party where you can sign up to become a fellow party hostess! So if you are interested in being a part of the Friday Favorites linky party, just fill out the form below :)

But enough talking. Let's start this party!
