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
Liberation Day – A Dutch celebration
Freedom. It should be a common thing, but unfortunately current affairs prove that it’s not. That’s why I want to tell you about a very important celebration in the Netherlands called: Bevrijdingsdag (Liberation Day)! A lot of foreigners know about our national holiday: Kings Day, celebrated on April 27th (formerly Queens Day), and many people … Continue reading Liberation Day – A Dutch celebration
Niš
It was exactly a year ago that we were in Belgrade, and we liked Belgrade a lot, so we were very curious how Niš was going to be. What a lovely surprise it was! I didn’t really know what to expect from this city, but went with an open mind. We rented an Airbnb very … Continue reading Niš
Peanut Butter Stir Fry (including recipe)
The last couple of months I’ve had a craving for Asian food! Maybe it’s because there is hardly any good Asian food in this part of the world. As a Dutch person, our Asian food is influenced a lot by Indonesian flavors, and I therefore love peanut sauce! In the Netherlands, peanut sauce was ordered … Continue reading Peanut Butter Stir Fry (including recipe)
Travel with Us
I like learning new things and get really excited about it. For hours, days, even weeks I can focus on this new thing and not wanting to do anything else. When I made the shorts, bag and purse, I sewed for 3 evenings straight until it was finished, and I actually felt a bit sad … Continue reading Travel with Us
