the big comeback


Hey guys !!!!!!!!!

I'm slowly but surely going to post things on my blog again :D
My last post dated...from three years ago, wauw! 
Now the healthy lifestyle is something that is everywhere, millions of blogs, pinterests, instagrams,...
When I started with this blog 4-5 years ago, I was like the weird witch with her crazy ideas, haha LOL. I would also only share this blog with my closest friends, I was too scared of what other people would think about me (sad right).  And look at all the vanillabeanmatchachaitoffeecoffeeoatswithcacaonibscaramelisedstarfruitandbewitchedpecanbutterwithbarbecuedbananascapturedfromthetreesofNarnia now!!! 


*I still use my oils for everything (coconut, argan, avocado, castor, almond,...) 

*I'm still brushing my teeth with organic toothpaste (no toxic fluoride for me) and now I'm starting to look into homemade toothpaste (with a mix of coconut oil and baking soda, more about that later) 

*I'm also new at the whole oil pulling thing, don't know if you already read about this but it's an Ayurvedic thing and you rinse your mouth for about 20 minutes with coconut oil (is super antibacterial). It's also great for whitening your teeth naturally. I'm actually having a cavity right now (I think) and I'm oil pulling for two days now, we'll see how that goes! I'll get back to you :D

*Still eating huge amounts of oatmeal, muesli, granola with so much cinnamon I cannot even taste it anymore

*Banana peanut butter everyday, keeps the doctor away is my motto

*Oeh I'm also drinking on a regular basis Golden Milk, it's a paste made of turmeric powder with black pepper and water (black pepper increases the bioaviability of turmeric, so you're body absorps it better!). More about that also very soon :D

*Still drinking huge amounts of tea (maybe more herbal teas now; rosemary, mint, thyme, fennelseeds, combinationsssss). One of my favorite right now is the Kusmi Detox grapefruit tea mmm. 

*I still cook for my dogs and cat, never ever ever ever ever ever is there a royal canin or whiskas coming into my house

*Spelt anytime anywhere everywhere, still motto nr2

*Did my second half marathon last year (yess)

*Still believe in the power and strength of a full moon

*On a holiday or trip I'll always bring: Calendula salve, Arnica Montana and Tea tree oil

*I made my mum clean the house with baking soda and vinegar (except my bath, I make it so greasy because of my oils that she cannot get it clean) (always gets really angry then)

*I desperately want a huge aloe vera plant!!!!

*I got people addicted to avocados (especially my boyfriend :D)

*I would love to be a super flexible yoga girl, but I'm really not...I try tho'!! 

*I started drinking coffee (but only almondmilk-chai-infused-coconut-sugar-coffee)

*My hangovers got worse...

*I got some forehead wrinkles (???!!!), I think its from all the frowning when I'm studying or maybe I just laugh too much I don't know  

*I'm still consuming too much plastic, I'm trying to reduce it but it's really everywhere. Even when I buy organic fruit or vegetables at Delhaize, they are wrapped in plastic. Whyyyy. I'm keeping all my glass jars now and using those more and more (tea, oatmeal, salad on the go)

*My latest passion are semi precious stones (amethysts, crystals, jade, ...) I really don't know a lot about them, but they are so beautiful and have lots of properties! (I'm studying with like 10 rocks around me hahaha) (don't give me that -you are a crazy witch-look, we'll see in a couple of years)

*I'm super annoyed when my mum buys something already made from the store instead of making it from scratch herself. I can be a really annoying daughter. Love u mum and your delicious homemade speltbread <3

*I'm writing all this but actually I really need to study...But here it is my official comeback :D


See you soon,





Love <3
