  • Battle of the bloggers: quantity vs. quality

    Here’s an observation: Is it so that media, including bloggers and vloggers, are more about quantity than quality? Meaning the quantity of updates, blogs, vlogs, articles, references and most of all: the quantity of readers and the money that can be made through these readers. This is quite a negative view, but I am seriously…

  • Too much stuff? De-stuffing needs conscious consumption

    Too much stuff? De-stuffing needs conscious consumption

    In my surroundings many people have become aware of the impact of ‘stuff‘. This awareness was raised by among others the documentary Minimalism (available on Netflix) and recent research in which was found that the role of stuff in causing climate change is very large. Simply put, the production and transportation of stuff contributes to…

  • Beautiful period panties

    Beautiful period panties

    The idea of period-proof panties already intrigued me: they’re literally panties that can hold menstrual blood without all the possible negative effects. But now these panties in the new and first colour scarlet make me go wild! Period panties are a product of THINX. And they are revolutionary! Okay, until now I used mine only…

  • Space invader #2: to speak your truth

    Space invader #2: to speak your truth

    Some time ago I described myself as ‘harmony-seeking quiet observer learning to speak loud and clear when needed’, which you may have read below my blog posts. It’s funny how accurate that description is. Earlier I already wrote that I was practicing to take up space. Now I am practicing to speak my truth more…

    Must-see documentary: The Goddess Project

    I urge you to go see The Goddess Project, if you haven’t seen it yet. I am tremendously positive and enthusiastic about it and I know why. The movie is a compilation of the most powerful pieces of conversation the film makers had with over 100 women in the US. I am so happy this…

  • Expected lessons from personal growth program

    Expected lessons from personal growth program

    Hello lovelies, I want to write about some recent personal experiences surrounding the possible enrolment in an online ‘personal/spiritual development’ program. It was the first time that I seriously considered participating in such an e-course. I had encountered ‘similar’ programs before, but due to the high investments of money and time I never saw it…

  • Your Galactic Signature

    Earlier I hinted at the 13 Moon Calendar, writing that a new year was starting and that I didn’t really know what that was all about. I’m guessing most of you haven’t checked it out, or have you? Well, I certainly have! And I will happily share my findings until now. As usual, I will…

  • Beans and berries from the garden

    Beans and berries from the garden

    In the pictures: beautiful beans from our garden; the use of an egg holder for tea eggs; large sunbathing pumpkins; blackberries from the garden; oatmeal with self-made blackberry jam and blueberries. ☀ The pumpkins are from the garden too – we’re so happy and proud! Some were probably harvested too early, hence the sunbathing. ☀ Jam…

  • Mulching on a Dream: harvest July ’17

    Mulching on a Dream: harvest July ’17

    For some time I’ve been meaning to show you our garden, but it’s rather messy (permaculture-ish) which makes that it takes some effort and skills to take good pictures. So I did not do that yet. Today, however, we had such a great-looking harvest that I wanted to show you! The garden is managed by…
