Today starts Fashion Revolution Week. One year ago I started my journey towards a more sustainable and ethical wardrobe. One year isn’t long, but it has taught me so much and it made me even more conscious about the world around us. I’ve been eating vegetarian for quite a few years now. This started out …
Summer is almost there and I’ve been in the need of sunglasses for quite a few times already. I need them to cover my eyes, because when it’s that light outside I get a little bit of a headache. I feel like granny writing this, but it’s just so important to protect your eyes from …
Let’s talk about party outfits! This might be one of the most fun articles to write. For a party you’d like to look amazing and stunning. Whether it might be your birthday or a wedding or a graduation, we all want to dress up at least a little bit. Or maybe society pushes us to …
The new documentary by the Nicolaas G. Pierson foundation is a must watch. In this article I’ll share my thought on #Powerplant.
I once asked my boyfriend: “Do you actually mind that I look like this at home?” I pointed at my jogging trousers, large fleece sweater and wool socks from my grandma. It felt ridiculous to walk around in my home in an outfit that was not even worth bringing the trash to the bin outside. …
If there’s one thing important, or at least in my opinion, it’s working together. If you want to start a revolution, you cannot do this alone. You have to find like minded people that want to riot with you. A group of people that will show what change looks like. This is how revolutions started …
Okay this article is kind of random, but I just needed to spread the word about those three YouTube videos. They are perfect for this time of the year. We are stepping into spring and we want to get rid of the dark colours. At least I want to. So here we go! 1. Karen …

Who doesn’t love a good necklace or a statement ring? Jewellery can transform your whole outfit. People say silver looks better on me, but I do what I want, so I rather wear gold. But there’s a problem with the jewellery industry. In my opinion everything that ends with industry is a problem, such as …
You probably already know: I LOVE BERLIN. Since I’m 15 I said I want to live here. For now, I am still not, however, I try to visit this wonderful place at least once a year. The atmosphere, the people, the (vegan) food, the great coffee, the language, there’s just so much to love. This …
Sustainable underwear: what is it and why is it important? The first things I started buying in organic materials was underwear to be honest. I had worn those polyester lace slips for a long time, but it wasn’t comfortable at all. Besides that, the quality decreased quickly, which left me with some poor black pieces …
I think it’s very typical of our western world in nowadays society to have the feeling you’re in a constant rush. Do you have that feeling? Do you hear people answering the question “how are you?” with “busy”? Or do you maybe do this yourself too? We are always busy doing something. Maybe it’s not …
80% of the Dutch people said that they would love to live more sustainably, but don’t know how to do so. That’s a very big part of our small country, and I can imagine those numbers are not only relevant for us in The Netherlands. I have noticed a tendency in our western society, in …
Maybe you’re lucky and you haven’t noticed it yet, but here in the northern part of Europe we definitely know: winter’s there. It’s time to cosy up and cover ourselves in clothes. However, you don’t want to look like a bulky blanket, whilst being covered in eight layers of fabric. So what do you do? …
I’m writing this post on the very last day of 2018. It feels strange that within a few hours, we’re enjoying 2019. Time went so fast. I will turn 25 in 2019. I will finish my study. I will hopefully start to work. But before I will start dreaming about the future, I want to …

December: the month of celebration and happiness, the month of finishing the year and starting new habits. New habits such as eating healthy, living more slowly and shopping more consciously. But how can we do this in January if we are doing the exact opposite during December? If we are rushing, over consuming and eating …
Shopping preloved clothes Online shopping: I have to admit that I’m a pro. I can spend hours online to have a look on the best deals. 90% of this time is on websites, such as United Wardrobe or Kleiderkreisel. where people can sell their own clothes online. I love the idea behind those websites: selling …
