For the past month, Paul and I have been getting back into a healthier routine. We try to exercise at least five times a week, get enough sleep and eat a little better. Not that we weren't eating healthy, but we also both love cheese, pizza, chocolate and beer, and that got a little out … Continue reading Easy energy bars (recipe included)

Spicy chickpea balls (including recipe)
After eating lentil burgers and homemade seitan for the last couple of months, it was time to try something else as a meat substitute. For months I’ve seen this recipe on Instagram, but never tried it. Until today and it was yummy! I can’t take credit for this recipe, but I did alter it a … Continue reading Spicy chickpea balls (including recipe)
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

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
The story of a pair of shorts, a summer bag and a small purse
Who would have thought that I was crafty? Not me! A couple of days ago I was looking for a pair of shorts for the summer, but couldn’t find any that I liked. Too short, too tight, too big, wrong color, etc. So I walked back home and realized I still had an old pair … Continue reading The story of a pair of shorts, a summer bag and a small purse
Meat substitutes
As you know, we’ve been trying to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle. Today I want to share our experiences with meat substitutes. A couple of months ago I made my own veggie burgers and they were really nice, but we don’t always want to eat the same, so we had to think of something else. Eggs! … Continue reading Meat substitutes
Support the locals
Whenever we go to a new country or city we love to explore! The motto we live by is ‘pay it forward’, for traveling this means that we want to support local businesses when we visit a new city. We always try to go local. In the first weeks we find a few places we … Continue reading Support the locals
