The new success (8): "I'm on my way and like always, too late."
April 20, 2016

Foto blog altijd te laat
That sentence in the title of this blog, it’s a translation of a sentence from a song by Dutch vocal duo Acda & De Munnik. The song is called ‘Wait for me’. (And now I am actually taking a break to listen to this song on YouTube. It’s so beautiful. I love it…) In the personal world of lifestyle and travel bloggers there’s a lot of activity. You can see that by looking at the Instagram posts, Facebook messages and you can read the blogs about the adventures. Sometimes I feel like I – as a lifestyle blogger – can’t keep up. While the rest of this song doen not really concern me, I feel like this one sentence ‘I’m on my way but – like always – I’m too late’, really does.   (more…)

The new success (7): Why we don't belong…
January 25, 2016

We horen er niet bij
We never really fitted in… with the blogging generation of our times. We are too old (37 and 39 years old), we are not eager enough, often we don’t care enough if something possible earns us money (we choose fun instead) and the thing that differentiates us most is the fact that we hate shooting selfies and we rather not have our pictures upon our blog. And especially the last thing does seem to be a bit of a problem: making yourself the face of your blog often seems to play an important factor in the success of a blog. Or so it seems …  (more…)

Good intentions vs fun intentions
January 1, 2016

agenda
First and formost we wish you a very pleasant and inspiring 2016! Have you formulated some good intentions for today and all days to come? Or are you going to wait one more day until the second of January? I used to start with my new good habits on the second day of the new year because the first of January is such a weird day. You probably have a lot of not so healthy food left and the gyms are closed. You see: I assume you have goals set that are related to health and fitness. That’s often the case, isn’t it?  (more…)

Do you want more time?
November 6, 2015

Illustratie meer tijd
Do you always feel like having to little time? That feeling when you finally have a bit of time to yourself you should actually go to bed because you haven’t slept that well lately because you were so busy? That the days literally fly by? And you’ve also read several time management books but none of them got you anywhere because you were in your old ‘no time’ habits before you knew it? Read on… (more…)

Our food choices
October 30, 2015

t-shirt veggie burgersFor a while now we’ve been wanting to write this blog about what we eat and why we make our food choices. We’ve written this blog partly together (because we largely eat the same kinds of foods) and partly alone because we’ve made different choices for different reasons in the past. We hope you like to read about our food choices as much as we’ve enjoyed writing them down. We don’t want to convince anyone to follow a certain diet! We just wish everyone to think about the food they put in their mouth. Because: what you eat is what you become is our philosophy… (more…)

The new success 5: Being yourself
October 19, 2015

nieuwe succes giraffes
With tons of book titles in the self help genre that suggest you are not yourself yet, or you’re not happy with the way you are right now (‘Finding yourself and the love you want’, ‘Breaking the habit of being yourself’, ‘Empower yourself’ and ‘Learning to love yourself’ to name but a few) it’s very hard to believe that you might be perfect just the way you are. Even though you’re not completely happy all the time.  (more…)
