The past weeks I have tested two vegan products which are a little different from the things I normally buy. A while ago I went to visit de Vegabond in Amsterdam. A tiny vegan heaven. They serve vegan lunch and so you can sit in, but they also offer vegan products to buy. I didn’t…
Category: Reducing negative impact
Reducing negative impact is the first step towards moving towards an eco-positive lifestyle. You first have to remove as much negative impact as you can, in order to live within the earth’s capacity. Meaning, that if everybody lives like you, we’d only need 1 or less earths.
Once you have that base of living eco-neutral (having no negative impact, but also no positive), only then it’s time to start increasing your positive impact. That’s why this category about reducing your negative impact is the biggest category on this blog, it is the core of an eco-positive lifestyle.
8 Reasons to Ditch Plastics
I think you know this by know. I am not a fan of plastics (or waste at all). On this blog you can read a lot about how I try to avoid plastics (and other waste too) in all sorts of ways. But I never really explained why I do this in the first place….
Vegan food diary for one week
Since I’ve gone vegan I get asked a lot what I eat in a day. It’s not a weird question, people who don’t eat vegan have no idea. It’s funny, nobody used to ask me what I eat before I went vegan! Somehow it’s mind-blowing to eat vegan and people want to know all about…
Vegan restaurants in Paris
Past week I’ve been to the city of love, Paris. It were the four most amazing days. Paris is definitely a hotspot and it close by the Netherlands. I have to say: four days were not enough. A month might not even be enough! But right now a month off doesn’t fit in my agenda…

Everything about Animal Testing
This week I’m talking about a new subject concerning veganism. I’ve never talked about it before, but since I’m vegan now I really feel the need to. I first focussed on turning my diet vegan since that’s the most important at first. Today I want to talk about another part of veganism: animal testing. Don’t…
Zero Waste Dry Shampoo
Today I want to share a recipe with you. But not a recipe for in the kitchen. Good for me! Because to be honest, I’m not such a big talent in the kitchen just yet. I barely ever cook. That has to change, but that’s for another time. Today I have a recipe for you…
Low (plastic) Waste Concealer
Make-up is tricky. It’s very personal. Some people wear a lot, some people wear none at all. Some people are real experts and wear many colors and styles, others don’t know where to start. And that’s all okay, none of those things are good or bad. I would say I’m sort of the middle and…
Experiences over stuff
When you create a WordPress account, they ask you to write a little bit about yourself. One of the things I wrote about myself is that I am a wannabe minimalist. Yes, an even more sustainable lifestyle! Life without trash, on my way to veganism, more volunteering, working on my carbon footprint and minimalism. Yes,…
Vegan restaurants in Budapest
I’ve been to Budapest twice in my life now. I have to be honest, I went to Budapest for the Sziget festival. When I’m at the festival, I don’t see anything from Budapest itself. However, both times we made sure to go a few extra days, so that we could also visit Budapest itself. In…
