I know that not too long ago I posted that I would stay in China for the next 3 months (see THIS post), but some unexpected things happened and I decided to go home early. Even though I really enjoyed the Chinese food, when I was preparing to go home again, I suddenly craved typical…

YVES SAINT LAURANT TATOUGE COUTURE MATTE STAIN review – colour black red code (8)
Duty free shopping has never really been my thing, here, I said it. I think most of the items aren’t that much cheaper than in regular stores, and I think regular stores that sell high end make up (like the ICI paris XL or Douglas in the Netherlands) over better service. However, I recently spent…
NAIL ART FOR FALL – pretty pumpkins
Call me basic, but I love pumpkin everything. I love pumpkin in dinner, in drinks (Starbucks now makes their pumpkin spice lattes vegan if you ask 🙂 ), in everything! I also just love the way that pumpkins look. That is why today, I thought I would make a pumpkin inspired nail art. This is…
AUTUMN DINNER PARTY: a convenient way to present loose-leaf tea
This Saturday my parents are hosting a dinner party for around 35 people and after the several courses, there is of course coffee and tea. We wanted to serve loose leaf tea (since the flavours are then a bit more special than the tea you buy in the store) but having 35 people scoop their…
AUTMUMN TABLE DECORATION – a perfect pattern for left over yarn
This is going to be a super short post, but I just want to share my love for a crochet pattern I found on Pinterest lately. It is a pattern for crochet pumpkins that look knit, and since I love pumpkins, crocheting and knitting, this was the perfect pattern for me! I am going to…
VEGANISED RECIPE: Liège waffles made with yeasted dough (Luikse wafels)
My parents have recently bought a new panini-maker/tosti-maker/waffle iron, and this is the first time in my life that I have actually owned an appliance to make waffles. Needless to say, I immediately went along and made different types of waffles. I found out that there are two types of Belgian waffles: Waffles from Brussels:…
RECIPE: super simple parsnip and sage soup
I love having a warm lunch on colder days. That is why I love making easy soups from vegetables and herbs. I already shared a recipe for an easy pumpkin and thyme soup, which you can find here. This recipe also uses a sweet vegetable: parsnips. If you can’t find parsnips where you live, you…
RECIPE: Sweet potato casserole with spinach, sage and sundried tomatoes
I love the combination of sweet potatoes with salty things. That is why, I think, sweet potatoes and sundried tomatoes go so well together. I also think that herbs complement the sweetness very well. For this recipe I used both fresh and dried sage, but if you only have dried, just substitute the fresh sage…
RECIPE: pumpkin filled with lentils and haloumi
My sister is a huge haloumi fan, so when I had to cook for the two of us, I figured I’d make something with this special cheese. Because I am a huge pumpkin fan (I know, one day I’ll make recipes without pumpkin), I figured I’d make a nice filling to go inside an oven…
RECIPE: my favourite porridge recipe: apple pie flavoured porridge
I love have porridge for breakfast, especially in the winter when the days are colder. For me porridge is everything a breakfast should be: filling, quick, cheap and tasty. I have tried many porridge toppings of flavours, but this one remains my absolute favourite: apple pie. I know you could use apples in stead of…
