Nothing like a good smoothie 🍌🥝🫐⠀⠀⠀ Nothing like a good smoothie 🍌🥝🫐⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I absolutely love my smoothies a little frozen, especiall when the weather is nice!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This one contained banana, kiwi, berries and cucumber to get in a little more veggies.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I got these bigger straws initially because I was looking for boba straws but they ended up being perfect for smoothies too. I love it when things have more than one use 🙌🏻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What’s your ultimate tip to sneak in more vegetables into your daily life?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I made paper! ♻️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ T I made paper! ♻️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is something I’ve wanted to try for years so when I cleared out some old papers in my office I bought the screen you use to scoop the paper with and got started 👏🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I also got a cheap secondhand mixer to mix the shredded paper into a pulp but besides that I had everything I needed already: towels and a basin to put the pulp in.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I might buy a piece of felt cause apparently that’s easier to use but not sure yet.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is an awesome eco at home activity for sundays or to do with kids. For me it was kind of a challenge to stay patient and calm but it was almost therapeutic 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love the pattern and texture and you can write on it, I’m happy for a first try!

Throwback to my pink hair 💖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lowkey already planning on doing this again because Belgium is in lockdown and I need to do something fun! I just tried a washout one but it will be gone after a few washes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The hairdressers are also closed (I miss you @hairbarnu 😢) and my blonde needed a touchup so no better way to freshen up my do with a pop of colour!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you ever coloured your hair? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Blossoms in the sun 🌸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been going on some more walks lately because I’ve been feeling a lot better (I have mononucleosis) and the sun has been shining! I’m enjoying the sun so much, can’t wait to go to the park and sit down when the temperature gets better ☀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because I’m getting out of a period of feeling really really shitty spring is hitting me hard. I actually feel like I’m blooming just like these flowers and I’m getting my groove back.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve discovered so much about myself and my (mental) health lately that I have been working on and need to work on more and this weather is giving me positives vibes to do it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some things I’ve been doing:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
* mealplanning with lots of veggies and fruit⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
* going on more walks ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
* disconnecting from the digital world more⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
* reading a lot⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
* enjoying moments of quiet and doing nothing⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
* journalling ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How are you experiencing the beginning of spring? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Save your hair when the hairdressers are closed ✂️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I got this hair elixer at my hairdresser (@hairbarnu) and it has been saving me during these lockdowns. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I obviously can’t get my hair professionally cut every month or so and when it does get cut it’s by my roomie with a pair of cheap hairdressing scissors from Kruidvat 😅🙈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Safe to say these lockdowns haven’t been the best that has happened to my hair and this elixir is great to make longer hair a little more manageable (I’m used to short hair) and it makes those split ends a little smoother (sssh I know that’s not really why you should use it but it does help).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Full review of this oil and how you can use it is up on my blog, link in bio!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you started at home haircuts? 😅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
