It’s time for another update! It’s going to be a short one. We have been vegetarian now for almost 4 months. That doesn’t sound long, but it feels a lot longer. I have to say that it does become easier over time. Where a couple of months ago I had some serious cravings for chicken, … Continue reading Our journey on becoming a vegetarian – Part 4

My interview with Friends
As a huge fan of the series Friends, I finally had the opportunity to interview them. I’ve been trying to get this interview since 2004, but they've all been very busy. Are you ready for this iconic interview?! Me: Hi guys, welcome and thank you for this interview. I’m such a big fan of the … Continue reading My interview with Friends
Itsy Bitsy Spider
Okay, today I’m going to write about something that a lot of people will recognize (or not). My fear of spiders!! I know it’s so silly to be scared of spiders, but I can’t help it! Ever since I can remember I was scared of them. It probably didn’t help that my sister thought it … Continue reading Itsy Bitsy Spider
Dealing with back pain
Since I was about 8 years old I had therapy for my back. I did this until I was 13 -14 years old. I should have kept up with it, but you know being a teenager doesn’t really help. If I knew back then how much it would help me later in life, I maybe … Continue reading Dealing with back pain
Our Skincare Routine
I’ve always been aware of how important it is to take care of your skin. It also helped that my mum took care of her skin. I had a good example. As soon as I could afford it, I bought nice skin creams, and made sure to always remove my make-up before bed. I spent … Continue reading Our Skincare Routine
Filled Courgette Rolls with Italian couscous (including recipes)
It’s still really fun cooking vegetarian food, but sometimes it can be a bit challenging to come up with new ideas. Back in the Netherlands we ate couscous regularly, and loved it. It’s just something different than potatoes, pasta or soup. It has been almost 3 years since we’ve had couscous, so I bought a … Continue reading Filled Courgette Rolls with Italian couscous (including recipes)
Japan, the trip that didn’t happen (yet!)
In 2020 we planned a trip to Japan. The plan was to leave on the 1st of April to Osaka and hopefully experience the Sakura Season. This has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember, and finally it was about to happen!!! Yes! A few more weeks to go and … Continue reading Japan, the trip that didn’t happen (yet!)
A night out in your 40’s
A short post today as I felt a bit uninspired the last couple of days and I’m writing this with a terrible headache. Oh, how you’ve got to love getting older. It seemed not that long ago when I could go out, enjoy a few drinks and still be fine the next day. Well, not … Continue reading A night out in your 40’s
Pasta and broccoli salad with tahini dressing (including recipe)
Last week we moved from Niš to Skopje. It’s good to be back. Strange how a different country can feel like ‘home’, because that’s how Skopje feels to us. We were already quite lucky with the weather in Niš, and when we arrived in Skopje, the weather was also beautiful! Warm, sunny, and about 24 … Continue reading Pasta and broccoli salad with tahini dressing (including recipe)
Jamaica – Our first trip together
It was November 2011 when we took an all inclusive trip to Jamaica! The funny thing about this trip is that we hardly knew each other! In the second half of 2011 I was looking for a short holiday and asked my friends on Facebook where I should go: Jamaica or Cuba? All of a … Continue reading Jamaica – Our first trip together
