Over the past few years, more and more mainstream brands have been making vegan alternatives, like non-dairy Ben & Jerries for example. And even though you do not have to have these alternatives to have a great-tasting vegan diet, I love the convenience if I want to treat myself to a sweet, unhealthy snack. This…

NAIL ART: sky blue geometric nail art
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…
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,…
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…
VEGAN DUTCH RECIPE: sauerkraut casserole with smoked sausage and apple
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…
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…
RECIPE: pesto flavoured celeriac fries
Since being back in Holland after five weeks in Beijing, I have been craving some European foods, like root vegetables, cabbage and potatoes. So I went into the supermarket last week without a clear idea what to make and I picked up a celeriac root. Not really knowing what to make with it, I steamed…
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:…
