A ‘healthy’ lifestyle‘ doesn’t only include eating your greens, drinken enough water and exercising. Having fulfilling relationships … Continue reading It’s all bout sleep

Why Oostende? To be honest I never thought I would live here one day. When I moved from Ghent I was looking for a place to live closeby nature. I temporarely lived in a beachfront appartment in Oostende and of course fell in love with the view. I went for endless walks on the beach, … Continue reading Love Oostende

I’m this person who loves variation. I simply cannot imagine eating every day the same thing. Breakfast is kind of my favorite meal of the day and during these Corona days I usually make myself a platter of all kind of (mostly) healthy goodies.
