Carolien is verslaafd
Man o man, it’s winter again. Last weekend, I unsuspectingly got on my bike and my ears and hands were practically freezing off... That means pulling out thick jackets, hats, and mittens again. And although I do find those dark days quite cozy, I have to be careful not to stuff myself with kilos of comfort food during the winter. SLA is also responding to the season and has just launched a delicious new menu that is healthy and filling. This will be my new takeout spot for the coming months. And if I’m being so wonderfully healthy, I can definitely order a raw salted caramel cheesecake for dessert, right?
Since I became a mother, a whole new world has literally opened up for me: suddenly I have to keep track of twice as many online articles, websites, and events to be an up-to-date mommy. And this coming weekend, there’s an event that you can’t miss as a mother: the We Are Pregnant fair, where you can find all the ins and outs regarding baby products. And of course, I can’t miss Lemej ! That means a double role from Friday to Sunday: both exhibitor and curious consumer. November 2-4 @ Werkspoorkathedraal, Utrecht.
Every weekend, we try to unwind as a family in the woods or on the beach. The calming effect of a forest walk has been proven in several studies, and we really feel recharged after such an outing. That’s why I was really bummed when I was lying on the couch with a headache last week during a very special evening forest walk: Happinez has developed a care line in collaboration with Rock Your World featuring essential oils from scents found in the forest. Under a beautiful starry sky plus yoga session , the new collection was launched and I would have loved to be there... So I’ll just quickly create that forest feeling at home (nice and warm) with their Aura Spray.
Which woman has developed a new addiction after giving birth? Usually, you hear stories about addictions that arise during pregnancy and continue afterward (my cheese croissant addiction has never gone away), but I’m talking about an addiction that only arose after giving birth. For me, that’s coffee. Now, it doesn’t sound too strange that your body suddenly craves caffeine with such a little one, but one day (when I wasn’t even that tired), I suddenly felt the urge to order a cappuccino. And so, from one day to the next, a good coffee machine was on my wish list. This wish has finally come true in the form of a nice Illy variant. I’m already curious about what addiction will come with a possible second (no guys, this is NOT an announcement).
