We are still in lock down and I still have too much time and too little to do. That is why this week, I am presenting another nail art design. I saw this beautiful Herôme nail polish in my nail polish drawer and I just had to use it. To be honest, the way it…

VEGAN ICE CREAM REVIEW: Oppo very almond berry
I love trying out new vegan products, especially ice cream. I have previously tried several kinds of (low calorie) ice cream, some with more success than others. I enjoyed the Alpro 360 flavours that I tried (see HERE), while the different Halo top flavours were less of a hit (especially the salted caramel flavour, see…
SPRING NAIL ART: daffodil nails
Being in quarantine means you can make time to do the things (inside) that you normally don’t make time for. For me, one of those things is painting my nails. Plus, not being able to go into work/university means I am actually allowed to wear nail polish as well 😉 For this weeks nail art…
VEGAN DINNER: super easy and quick udon noodle soup bowl with shiitake (one pan!)
I love udon noodles. I have said it before when I shared my meal prep udon noodle soup with you HERE. The soft texture of these thick noodles is something I can really crave sometimes. Another bonus is their short (or non-existent) cooking times. Check the packaging of your noodles to see if you have…
VEGAN PRODUCT REVIEW: Halo Top peanut butter cup vs. Alpro 360
I know that this is a stressful time for everybody, with all the uncertainties that the new coronavirus, COVID-19 brings. Everything in our every day life is affected, including shopping for groceries. I understand that getting the basics is difficult enough, let alone be able to spend that extra bit of money on luxury products…
VEGAN LUNCH: sesame roasted broccoli with ginger rice and soy “chicken”
I love meal-prepping, can you tell? Over the last couple of weeks I have been posting some warming soups, but sometimes I want something more substantial. My sister recommended oven roasted broccoli to me, so I had to try that. Since the green asparagus were on sale in Tesco, I chugged them in as well….
RECIPE: Quick vegan pumpkin and swede soup
I hope you enjoyed my roasted tomato soup (which can be found here), which I made for a meal-prep two weeks ago. This week I am back cooking soup to meal-prep lunches for the week with another warming soup. Since it is still quite cold, I thought I would use some nice pumpkin (bottle gourd,…
REVIEW: vive vegan protein bars
I know it is not “Veganuary” anymore, but I am (mostly) vegan anyway, so when I came across this add for a new vegan protein bar, I had to try it. Vive is a brand that offers protein powders, protein bites and protein bars. Recently, they had an offer to try their three flavours of…
RECIPE: vegan slow-roasted tomato soup
I love meal prepping. Having grown up in the Netherlands and eating bread for lunch for the majority of my life, I am kind of bread-tired. That is why I love making big batches of food for the week, taking lunches into work/school every day. Since it is winter, I thought I would make a…
VEGAN PRODUCT REVIEW: Halo top non-dairy ice cream – the worst vegan ice cream ever?
I have recently moved to the UK for an internship in my university studies, and I am getting used to the new supermarkets here. I mostly shop at Tesco, since it is the closest (and biggest within reasonable walking distance) and I have been greatly enjoying trying new vegan products. One of my new favourite…
