As you might have read a few weeks back, my partner and I bought a house together. It’s not the first time we are living together, we have rented a place before, but it is the first time where it’s permanent (I hope, haha). Now that we’ve settled in a little bit (we’re about a…

All the secondhand clothing I bought in 2024
In the first years of writing this blog, I used to write multiple articles each year about all the secondhand clothing I bought. Now, I feel like the fact that I wrote so many articles each year showed that I bought too much secondhand clothing. It’s secondhand, yes, so it’s the most sustainable option. But…
Life update: I moved to Utrecht!
I created this blog to write about my sustainability journey. However, it is also my personal blog. And so, sometimes, I write about what’s happening in my personal life too. When big things happen, life updates. Today is such a day, because something big in my life has happened and I want to share more…
Where would I like to see the world in 2100 when it comes to intersectional feminism?
Not long ago I wrote an article, listing 23 reasons why we still need intersectional feminism today. In that article I write about what’s wrong with our society at this moment when it comes to intersectional feminism. It’s a rather negative article, because the world today is not as I (and many others) would like…
My series recommendations from 2024
Last year, I wrote three ‘types’ of recommendation articles: book recommendations, documentary recommendations and series recommendations. This year, I am sharing only two: my book recommendations from 2024 and today an article about my series recommendations from 2024. Because honestly, I made no time in 2024 for documentaries. But since series are usually shorter and…
My book recommendations from 2024
Last year I finally decided that I was going to share all my book recommendations from one year together in one article, instead of writing a separate article about every book. I think this adds more value for you, the reader. And at the same time, this saves me time as well. Last year this…
My positive impact in 2024
Two weeks ago, I shared all the stuff I bought new and secondhand in 2024. That’s an evaluation of (possible) negative impact. Today I want to look at the other side of the medal when it comes to an eco-positive lifetyle: the positive impact. The base of an eco-positive lifestyle is to live within the…
Everything I bought new and secondhand in 2024
The past few years, I wrote articles about everything I bought new in a specific year. That’s because I challenged myself to buy nothing new for an entire year, as that is the most sustainable thing to do. When I wrote about everything I bought new, it was an evaluation. I never managed to buy…
Why vegan food is usually not vegan
Ethical veganism is a spectrum. Everyone who lives a vegan lifestyle tries to limit the harm and use of animals as best as they can. For some vegans this means that they don’t eat animal products, for other this means they also don’t buy clothing made of animal products or cosmetics which are tested on…
3 online sources for great vegan recipes
When you go vegan, it’s best to keep making the same recipes you used to. You just veganize the recipe. Swap the meat for vegan meat, etcetera. Once you’re used to all that, it’s nice to try some new things. Whole-foods recipes for example, or from a specific kitchen. Personally, I am in that phase…
