Last week I told you why my partner and I divide the household work equally. That’s all about the work to be done at home. The hours spend cleaning, cooking and planning, to name a few things. But there’s another aspect of the household which aligns with this: the household expenses. As an intersectional feminist,…
Category: Personal
In this category you’ll find all the posts about me. I hope for this site to be platform to find all sorts of information on, but I also want to you to know me and who I am. Hopefully, these posts can help to do that. I share my entire life on this blog, and I consider it my life work. This category is therefore quite personal, but I find honesty important.
Why my partner and I divide the household work equally
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 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…
Have I lived eco-positive the past year? 2023/2024 edition
Every year in September I look back at the period of exactly one year. I answer the question: how many earths do we need if everybody on the planet lived like me? In other words: am I taking more than my share when it comes to the earth’s resources? Or am I living an eco-positive…
My 3 biggest sustainability challenges at this moment | July 2024
In the past half year, my life has changed drastically. I went from living in a student flat in Amsterdam with 13 others, working 32 hours a week in an office in Amsterdam 20 minutes from home, to living with my in-laws in Harderwijk and working 36 hours a week at an office at 2,5…
The bloodwork of a vegan
A few weeks back I shared what I eat as a vegan for the 5th time on this blog. The goal of those food diaries is to show you what vegans eat (or at least, this vegan), in hope to inspire you to do the same. I think killing animals for no good reason is…
