Growing up my father did his best to raise us on a macrobiotic diet, but I wasn’t feeling it, nope this boy didn’t want boring tofu. This I hear often as my lifestyle took a drastic turn and now I’m sure my body is about 30% tofu. Just kidding folks, I eat a wide variety of foods!
Look the soy debate is an ongoing one, but I personally…
Two weeks ago a friend of mine shared an article with me that couldn’t have come at a better time, the article is titled “The Gift of being Unattached in relationships”, something I find quite difficult myself. Through this post I’d like to share this article, my own experience and to keep reminding myself to be unattached in love.

The past few years a fire has been brewing but it didn’t really ignite, until recently. Now I’m at a point that I can no longer hold it back and feel a need to shed some light on topics that go beyond just veganism, such as fast fashion, the effects of plastic and other issues that call for our attention. …

Do you believe in failing? Because I don’t, and of course I’d like to share why. Look, this is my personal opinion and outlook on this topic. I’d like to share a perspective that has helped me a lot on my journey.
Growing up I used to be afraid to fail, as I guess most of us are. We have to achieve our goals and get good grades, find a good career and succeed in life. Well it didn’t take me long before I got a rude awakening, I failed and dropped out of college and…

When it comes to sharing products, we are very mindful. We have to believe in the company we are supporting and be aligned with their values & products. Well Lush is one of these companies that we love to support, you might have even caught me using their products on my instagram stories. The love is big with this one, and not a day goes by without me using their luscious products.
One of the things I love most about Lush is that they are against animal testing, support equality and constantly keep developing ways of reducing their waste which can be seen by their line of naked products.

There are many types of rice and even more ways of preparing them, infusing the rice with delicious flavours is one of my favorites, so of course I’d have to share one of these recipes with you. This will be a nice change from your regular plain rice.
In many countries spiced rice dishes are a staple, and in Suriname it is no different. Although this dish isn’t a traditional Surinamese dish, it still draws inspiration from its diversity in cuisines (especially the indian) and bold flavours, to create this delicious and comforting dish. …
