It's our weekend and there's only one place we want to go to: the beach! As I am sitting on the beach in Vlora, looking around, it makes me happy to see everyone is enjoying themselves again. After the many lockdowns we had to endure, it's time to enjoy the Summer again as we used … Continue reading Beach time!

Just keep swimming
Since I was young, I have had a love-hate relationship with water. On one hand I loved playing in the pool, pretending I was a mermaid, on the other hand I got fearful as soon as the water got deeper. There is something about that sensation of not being able to touch the ground, and … Continue reading Just keep swimming
My journey on becoming vegetarian – Part 5
Five months in, and I’m going to be completely honest with you. We ate meat! Not a lot, only one time, but I feel guilty. Why do I feel like that? It was my own choice to do this. I don’t owe anybody any explanation, but somehow it felt wrong to eat meat again. Let … Continue reading My journey on becoming vegetarian – Part 5
Vegan Chocolate Mousse (including recipe)
Oh my! This was so incredibly tasty! I have to share this easy recipe with you. Because we are eating a lot more chickpeas, I wanted to do something with the aquafaba instead of throwing it away. I heard before that you can make a lot of nice things out of it, like chocolate mousse. … Continue reading Vegan Chocolate Mousse (including recipe)
Our journey on becoming a vegetarian – Part 4
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
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
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
