REVIEW | Samsung Gear Fit

Almost a year ago (at Christmas, to be exact), my parents gave me a smart watch. I had been eyeing a sports watch for quite a while already, mainly to track my runs. I asked one for Christmas, but they gave me a smart watch instead. Why? Because it links with my phone and has a lot more functions, which meant it was a lot better value for its money than a regular sports watch. Since I have obviously tested this baby an elaborate amount of times, I thought I’d give you my opinion about it. Be aware, because this is a ridiculously long post.

Dear Santa..

It’s that time of the year again. Or as the English would say: ‘tis the season to be jolly. The holidays are upon us! Here in Belgium, we don’t really believe in the story of Santa bringing us gifts overnight. However, we do have someone elso who does that, and he’s actually coming in 2 days! Yes you guessed right, I’m talking about Sinterklaas. He’s the one who gets through the chimney in Belgium and gives presents to the children who have been good all year. I’ve been keeping my eyes out for things I’d love to receive these holidays, so if you’re in need of some inspiration, I got you covered!

Chocolate Cornflake Chunks

Food isn’t just a way to survive, it’s also a perfect method to bond with other people. In every family, there are different things that remind you of home. In my case, it’s my grandmother’s famous Christmas cake she makes every single year and my dad’s spaghetti sauce, just to name a few. But it are also these chocolate cornflake rocks, who were first made by a family friend.

5 Favourites #5

Well hello there! It's been a ridiculously long time since I've done my last 5 favorites - almost a year, I know - but I thought it was about time to do them again. I've been a very happy girl lately and I wanted to share the things that are making me happy.

Scarves

As soon as the temperatures get lower, I love bundling up in scarves to keep me warm. Although the weather is playing a game with us (it was 21°C two weeks ago, say what?), I’m completely ready for the cold! I love changing up my scarves from time to time, but I’m currently hooked to the newest trend: blanket scarves!

Marzipan Cookies

It's that time of the year again. Most stores are getting out their Christmas stuff by now, but in Belgium & Holland there's another holiday squished in between. Sinterklaas! It's the day of truth for children, because only the ones who have been good all year will be receiving gifts and sweets. Tomorrow, Sinterklaas will be arriving in Antwerp with tons of marzipan, kruidnoten and mandarins. So what is more appropriate to celebrate his arrival than baking with it?

Best gift ever?

As I said before, I’m studying in Namur for a half year, which means I don’t get to see my friends from university that often. Whenever we are together, we always have a lot of fun, so I’m missing them now I’m here! And since I have such amazing friends, they gave me a little gift to take with me so I would always think of them. And because I find it so amazing, I wanted to share it with you all!

5 trips I want to make right now

I just got back from Salamanca and I already want to get away again! The fact that Ryanair sends me emails with promotions for flights - only 9.99! - doesn’t really help either. Since I’m dreaming about several trips (I don't discriminate), I thought I’d share the ones I really want to do right now!

Zucchini pizza

After a long time, it's time for another recipe! And not just a regular recipe, no, for once it's a dinner recipe. I've had moments before where I cooked something and people around me said 'you should share it on your blog', but I always said no. Why? I wanted my blog to be about baking (hence the title) and not cooking! And I honestly love baking a whole lot more than cooking. But I've been living on my own since September, which means A) I have less time to bake, and B) I need to cook for myself!

RUN | H&M Fall Collection

Temperatures are slowly but surely dropping, the sun is hiding more often than not and when I wake up in the morning, it’s still a little dark.. Yup, fall is definitely there! Changes of weather also require changes in running clothes and if it means I have an excuse to buy some new things, I’m definitely not complaining! I was stupid enough to subscribe to the H&M newsletter, because now I always get mails that convince me I really need something else. About two weeks ago, I received a mail with their new running equipment, so naturally I had to take a look. I fell in love with the collection! H&M is obviously putting more effort in their workout clothes because the quality is getting better every season. I spotted some things that are on my wishlist, and since I don’t want to keep this gem from you, I thought I’d share!

NAMUR | Sterling & Cooper

Although I'm not as often in Antwerp anymore, I'm still looking for the best places to eat & drink. I love coffee to keep me awake and since I have a lot of early morning classes in Namur, I was in need of a great coffee spot! In Antwerp, we have an amazing coffee bar near the university (which I should do a post about), but that's not the case in Namur. Every time I walk to the train station, I pass a small, cozy place. When I found out they serve coffee, I had to try it out. And since I'm not a selfish person, I'm sharing my experience!

REVIEW | Batiste Dry Shampoo Dark & Brunette

Washing your hair is one of those necessities no one really likes. There are some people who are lucky enough to only have to wash their hair once a week, but I’m more someone who needs to wash it every other day or it looks like I poured oil on it. Washing your hair can take up some very valuable time and honestly, we just don’t always have it. Enter: dry shampoo! I’ve been using dry shampoo for a couple of years now, and it really is my life saver on those days that I do not have the time to wash my hair.

Une nouvelle aventure

A title in French? Very much yes! Now if you're wondering why on earth I'm writing a title in French, don't be worried. It's just for this one time. But why in French? Well, because I'm studying in Namur for the first semester of the academic year! That is also the reason why the hell I haven't been posting anything in over two weeks. Life has been extremely hectic, that's what I can say.

TASTE TEST | Albert Heijn Oatmeal

As you probably already know, I love my oatmeal. I eat it everyday if I have the time and I'm usually a little (aka very) sad whenever I don't have time or ingredients. While I was at Albert Heijn to pick up my favourite oats - AH Basic Oatmeal - I came across something new. Instant oats! I often buy little pots like these on the plane when I'm travelling (go Ryanair!) but I hadn't seen them in any supermarkets. Of course I had to try these out!

Workout Music

I shared some tips to start running a while ago, and one of them was to try out running with some music. I love working out, but I need some up tempo beats to keep me going! When I go running, I always take my iPod because it's small and convenient to take, but I often use Spotify to listen to music while working out at home . I first listened to several different playlists while working out, but there were always songs I would skip every single time. I made my own playlist and thought it would be fun to share!

Raspberry Cheesecake Brownies

Remember my Tinsel review? I tried their cheesecake brownie and loved it! I like a brownie from time to time, but I often think it's too overpowering and heavy. I love that the cream cheese neutralizes the heaviness and makes it a little fresher! I was looking for delicious things to make and suddenly thought that cheesecake brownies would be perfect.

Home Decor

Summer is almost over, and that can mean only one thing: school! And bad weather too, but what's the difference? I still have two weeks before university starts again and I'll be enjoying my free time to the fullest in Spain! For the first semester of the scholar year, I will be doing an Erasmus in Namur, a city in the French part of Belgium. Since I will be staying there throughout the week, I'm looking for some stuff to make my room a little cozier and more personal! I'm very excited about it all, so I thought I'd share the things I'm liking.

Apple Tartelettes

It's been shamingly long since I posted a recipe. The last proper recipe I made was for my tanned blondies and that was over two months ago! How time flies.. This week, I finally had time to dive into the kitchen again and since we had some apples in our fridge that had had their best time, I wanted to make something with apples. I've been working at Le Pain Quotidien the past month and all the beautiful and delicious pies and tartelettes inspired me to make apple tartelettes!

HAUL | Catrice It Pieces Limited Edition Collection

I love how being a blogger is the perfect excuse to buy new makeup or beauty things. I can always justify my purchases by saying I really 'need' it for a review or a haul. So when I stopped at Kruidvat last week, I couldn't leave these things behind! They're both from Catrice and are part of the It Pieces collection, which is the limited edition collection for the summer. It's supposed to be in stores through July and August, but I hadn't seen the collection before last week! I feel like the stores are often a little late with their collection. Here are my first impressions!

ANTWERP | RAW Salad Company

I've been getting a little better at sharing hotspots with you, don't you think? The last one I shared with you was about 2 months ago, Tinsel! I just had to share this spot with you, as I'm too excited for it! As you can see from the logo, RAW is a healthy & tasty saladbar. It's located in the Kammenstraat, in a small and cute spot, as you can see above!

RUN | Tips for when you want to start running

Since I've been out of the country a lot the past months, I haven't been running often at all. I usually try to go for a run twice a week - one short, one longer - but for the past weeks, I was lucky if I did one 5K run! I went running yesterday because I really felt like it, and I immediately remembered why I love it so much. For those of you who just started running or are thinking of starting to run for whatever reason, I wrote down some tips to take into account.

REVIEW | Yves Rocher Lash Plumping Mascara

I've been neglecting my blog a little since I came home. I thought I would have enough time to blog a lot since I don't have a very busy month, but I thought wrong. Work has been pretty hectic and my free days were filled with fun things! I haven't been bored since I got back home, but I do feel a little guilty to be ignoring my blog. But I made the intention to get better at posting more often. So here we go: a review of the Yves Rocher Lash Plumping Mascara!

Djerba

I already told you before that I went to Djerba on holiday - which ended up being a mini holiday - but I never shared anything more about it, so todays post is all about my holiday! For those of you that don't know, Djerba is an island and is a part of Tunisia, a North-African country that is squished in between Libya and Algeria. Djerba is the largest North-African island and is on the South of Tunisia. If that isn't clear enough, I don't know it anymore! Because of the attacks in Sousse on the 26th of June, we had to return after only four days. Even though it wasn't long, I loved every single moment of my stay and want to share it with you.

AMSTERDAM | Hotspots

I've been back home from Italy since Sunday evening, but I haven't been sitting still since then! On Wednesday, me and a friend went on a mini-citytrip. We took an early train to Amsterdam and got back late at night! What we did? We shopped a little, we ate delicious foods and we laughed a lot. It was an amazing day, and I want to share the places where we ate! Amsterdam is filled with fun lunch spots and there are a lot of healthy options. Enough places for a healthy breakfast or lunch! As much as I love Antwerp, we could learn something from that. But I'm going off-topic here, so let's just get into it!

Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Oil-Control Cleansing Mask

I'm back! I spent the last 16 days in the middle of nowhere in Italy and had the time of my life. For the first time in about a year, I could sleep as long as I wanted, which resulted in waking up at 11.30 AM more than once. Oops! I read most of the books I had collected over the last year and I spent some good hours by the pool. I'm a happy girl!

Vacation & Radio Silence

Well hello there! It's been a while, don't you think? I've got an excuse though: my vacation has started! The day after my last exam, I left for Djerba with my mom and the plan was to return one week later. Sadly enough, there was an attack in a tourist hotel in Sousse - I still can't believe it - and we had to return for safety reasons. I've been home since Saturday, but my days were pretty filled!

QUICK TIP | Roasted Almonds

Sorry for not posting anything on Tuesday (again), but I have a pretty good reason! My exams are finally over and I left for Djerba very early on Tuesday. I spent most of Monday night packing and haven't had the time to catch up since! I wanted to make it up with this quick & easy tip that is very loved at my home.

Tanned Blondies

It's time for another recipe! If you were frowning when reading the title, I don't blame you. The actual title for the recipe is blondies, but mine looked more like brown blondies, so I decided to adapt the title! This recipe is from Chocolate Covered Katie and they're actually chickpea blondies. Yup, another healthy recipe! I have exams right now and I love making something delicious, that is still a little nutritious. These blondies fit the bill!

Workout Clothes

You probably know by now that I love working out. What I love even more than that, is a brand new outfit! I'm not ashamed to admit I have almost as much workout tops and shorts than regular ones. A girl has to look fab while she is sweating, right? Apparently, I'm not the only one who thinks about that because there are more and more sites coming up that only sell workout clothes. Today I'm gonna share some of those sites where I probably spend way too much time adding everything to my basket.

ANTWERP | Tinsel

It's time for another Antwerp hotspot! After a friend of mine told me about Tinsel, I was a little too excited to try it out. I mean, a breakfast & lunch spot? Plus it serves both pancakes and oatmeal? They know how to steal my heart. Obviously, they have a lot more options than those two and plenty of savoury things to choose from. I have a gigantic sweet tooth, so I very often have only one savoury meal in the day, being my dinner. No worries if you're not like me though, you'll love Tinsel too. After my exam on wednesday, I finally visited Tinsel.

5 Favourite Nail Polishes

You might have noticed there was no recipe last Friday. I know, completely guilty! I had an exam on Friday and didn't find the time to upload the recipe on time and since I had a lovely afternoon & evening after my exam, I decided to skip it this week and upload it this Friday! For today's post, I decided to share my favourite nail polishes with you. I wasn't allowed to wear nail polish in high school, so I was really happy when I stared uni! To be honest: I have built up quite a collection over the years, so I have more than enough colours to choose from. I do seem to gravitate to some specific colours, so I thought I'd share!

QUICK TIP | Bio-Oil

If you have been following my blog the last couple of months, you probably know I broke my elbow. And if I do something, I do it properly. I broke my elbow in 3 different places and had to have surgery! I now have a ton of titanium in my arm and with that came a gorgeous scar. Apparently some people create scar tissue faster than others and I'm very good at forming scar tissue! When I show my scar to people, they always look a little frightened. A lot of people told me to try Bio-Oil because it is amazing to heal scars, so I did!

TASTE TEST | Dorset Cereals Muesli

Now my exams have started, my entire day revolves around eating. If someone would ask me what I love to eat most, it would be either dessert or breakfast. And if you do it right, you can eat dessert for breakfast or vice versa. Yasss, I have my life together. Can you tell I take my food seriously? Recently, I've been loving breakfast parties as a celebration. Instead of going out for dinner for your birthday, I prefer going out for breakfast! Honestly? Breakfast is life. I usually eat oatmeal in the morning and sometimes I go crazy and make pancakes. But when I don't really have time in the morning, I prefer muesli and yogurt! Some think it gets boring after a while, but I love switching up my muesli. I have several muesli recipes up on my blog, but today I want to talk about the Dorset Cereals muesli pack!

Bikinis For Summer

Although I need to wrestle through my exams first, summer is slowly but surely coming closer! I have some amazing things planned for the coming months, so I can't wait for my final exam to be done and dusted. I love the cosiness of winter, but there's something about summer that makes me truly happy. The sun is shining, you don't need to bundle up in clothes and everyone seems to be a little happier. My happy place? In my bikini in the sun, preferably near the sea or a swimming pool. I must admit: I'm an absolute bikini addict. If it was up to me, I'd buy 5 new bikinis each year. Luckily I still have a mom who makes me realize I don't need that much bikinis. BUT I'm gonna be honest: there are a couple of bikinis I'm in love with. And since I can't buy them, I decided to share them with you!

HEALTHY | Brain Balls

It's here again! My classes have all ended, my books are almost staring me in my sleep and I'm living in comfy pants. Yup, exams are coming! I don't know about you, but when I'm at home all day, I tend to eat all day. Eating all day & not moving at all aren't the best combo though, definitely since it's not January anymore but June.. And what does that mean? HOLIDAYS!! I have quite some cool trips planned and I've been working my ass off the last two months so I hope to look great in my bikini. And no, I'm not planning to ruin that. But not eating all day anymore isn't an option either... So I came up with this!

REVIEW | Essence 3D Eyeshadow

While I was scrolling through my posts, I saw it's been a while since I did a review. I immediately knew what I wanted to share with you! It's awesome and inexpensive, how can I not share that?

Apple Crumble Cupcakes

Remember when I shared the recipe for raspberry & white chocolate muffins with you? I made those for a dessert evening with my friends and although we all made way too much, it was amazing! More than a year later, we decided to do one again. Most of my friends like more traditional desserts like chocolate pie and tiramisu, so I didn't want to make something too exotic. As soon as I found the recipe for these apple crumble cupcakes, I knew I had what I was looking for!

Inspiration Tuesday

I don't know about you guys, but I love inspirational quotes and pictures! I often find myself screenshotting them on Instagram or downloading them from We Heart It. Whenever I need it, I take a look through my album and it cheers me up every single time! I decided today would be a good day to share some of those with you. Feel free to download ;).

HEALTHY | Nutty Banana Bread Muffins

After a couple of weeks with yummy-but-not-so-healthy recipes, I have a new healthy recipe for you! I know you all love my unhealthy recipes, but lemme share my love for delicious healthy things with you, okay? Most of you are probably well known with banana bread by now, but I love making muffins instead of one big loaf because I'm the only one who eats it. I feel like they stay fresh longer!

Products I can't live without

I'm going to be honest with you: I'm a creeper. On blogs, I love reading diaries and plogs - aka photo blogs. No idea what I'm talking about? It are posts filled with pictures of what the blogger did in a day. It might sound weird, until you start reading them. They're fun! Although my life isn't very exciting at the moment and a plog would be very boring, I thought I'd share the products I can't live without. So you can be a creeper too.

Chocolate Rolls

They made it! Last week, I already revealed something about the recipe I wanted to make and luckily I had more time on hand yesterday. I told you it was something with chocolate, and if that isn't good enough already, it's perfect to make for breakfast tomorrow! Believe me, you'll be sleeping like a baby if you know these rolls are waiting for you.

RUN | Sunrise Or Sunset?

It's no secret that I love running. Last Sunday was the most exciting event of the year, the DVV Antwerp Ten Miles! The fun thing is that it's pretty much in my backyard and it's huuuuge. This year, 42.000 people participated and it's always one big party. I first participated last year and this weekend was my second time. I was 5 minutes faster than last year, so I'm rather proud of that! Since I think I still have a runner's high, I wanted to do a post about morning and evening running.

EASY | Chocolate Cookies

I'm going to be honest with you immediately: I'm proud of these cookies. I was planning on making something completely different (hint: it also contains chocolate), but due to not having enough time, that will come up next week! I didn't have too much time and was looking for something easy but impressive. Lately, I'm all about easy and quick. I love taking the time to make bagels or cinnamon rolls from time to time, but let's be honest: most of the time, I don't have the time to do all of that. So these came in perfectly!

H&M Home

H&M probably likes The Netherlands better, because they have an online shop and they have H&M Home stores! But karma is on our side, since both of those are coming to Belgium! This morning, the online shop launched (awesome karma), so my wallet will be even emptier from now on. There's a Home store in Ghent already, but the one in Antwerp is opening this weekend with a big event!

Summer Smoothie Bowl

While I was thinking about what to make for today's post, it seemed like I could only come up with things that either took a long time to prepare or had to be in the oven for a long time. With the lovely weather we've been having the last couple of days, my recipe had two requirements: it had to be no-bake and I didn't want to spend my afternoon in the kitchen. I almost wanted to give up, until I was making lunch and decided this was perfect!

Bikini Body Guide by Kayla Itsines

If you haven't yet noticed from my last too happy-posts, Spring is in full swing and it looks like Summer is already trying to steal its spot! I'm verrrrrrrry excited for warm weather and shorts. Last year I didn't spend enough time in my bikini to my liking, so I'm going to do everything I can to change that! Although I love the picture above and strongly believe that's exactly the truth, I'm guilty of wanting to look like the VS models. If you know me in person, you probably know I love a good work out! When I broke my elbow and couldn't do any sport for several weeks, I died a little. In my opinion: the more exhausting, the better. I love giving everything I have and being completely dead afterwards.

Power Balls

Spring really kicked in this week! Right at the perfect time, because I have Easter break. The sad thing is that I also need to learn for my exams in June, so I can't enjoy the sun as much as I would like to. I don't now about you, but the eating monster in me comes up even more when I'm at home so I needed to make something to keep my sweet tooth under control! I present : power balls.

Workout Clothes To Get Motivated

It's finally spring! Although the meteorological spring had already started the 21st of March, the weather didn't really catch up until this weekend. The sun was just in time for Easter though! I hope you all had an amazing Easter weekend, filled with a lot of chocolate. Now the parties are over and summer is approaching, it's time to work on that bikini body! I picked 10 clothing items that will motivate you to get out of that couch. And they're budget proof as well!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

I went to visit some friends this week and since they are all huge cookie lovers, I wanted to bake something to surprise them with. I wanted to make something they would all love, so I decided to go for the all time classic that can never go wrong: chocolate chip cookies! Although I was late, they definitely loved me when I arrived ;).

Adidas x Pharell Williams Supercolor

Last Friday, Adidas launched the Supercolor collection that was designed by Pharell Williams. If you have been living under a rock the past couple of months, I'll tell you: Pharell worked his magic on the very famous Superstar shoes and designed a collection that consists of 50 colours. Yup, that's right! One model, available in 50 colours.

ANTWERP | Sébastien

I know, I know. It's been a shamingly long time since I put another hotspot online. I already see you looking at me with a disapproving look on your face. Honestly? I don't have a legit excuse. I do have a crappy one, which is that I always find it uncomfortable to take a lot of pictures when you're eating somewhere. But hey, I also do it when I travel, so why do I think it's weird in my own town? With that motivation, I took my camera with me for my lunch yesterday!

QUICK TIP | Sephora Daily Makeup Brush Cleaner

It's time for another quick tip! Let's talk makeup brushes. Although some of my friends don't own a single makeup brush, I think the ladies without brushes are rather limited. But have you ever thought of everything that gets onto that brush? Makeup clogs together onto your brushes and if you keep using your brushes without washing them, you'll eventually be clogging your pores. If you think about it, it's actually quite dirty!. You're building up foundation/concealer/eyeshadow that dries up or blends together and becomes verrrrrrry dirty. No way I want that on my face! Since none of us have hours to spare to clean your brushes daily, I have an amazing tip for you!

HEALTHY | Carrot Cake Muffins

Before you are thinking: 'what the hell are you doing, you're putting vegetables in dessert?', stop! Hold your horses, dear. I know, I know, it doesn't sound delicious at all. But when you think about it, carrots are actually rather sweet. To be honest, I was sceptic for a really long time as well, until I actually tried carrot cake. So please don't give up on me yet.

NEW IN | Gymstick Foam Roller

First of all: I apologize for not posting anything on Friday. It was my birthday and I honestly didn't sit still for a split second last weekend. And if I did, it was to eat (a lot). Such a though life I'm having, huh? Since it was my birthday weekend, I received a lot of presents! And this baby was one of them: a foam roller from Gymstick!

Maple Almond Cookies

A couple of months ago, I posted a recipe for maple almond granola. Now if you haven't tried that yet, I advise you to do so as soon as you can, because it is delicious! Guess what I found now? Maple almond cookies. Yup, that's right. It's like the granola, but even better, because you can eat it at any time of the day.

NEW IN | Running Shoes + Nike Pro Rival Bra

Last Friday, me and a friend went to the RSLab Ladies Night. RS stands for Runner's Service and it's pretty much a paradise for runners! They have a special footscan that analyses your feet, so you'll get the best running shoes available for you. Back to business: they partnered up with Nike and organised a Ladies Night, with a catwalk & sales. Naturally, I had to go.

Speculoos Muesli

I'm a big breakfast person. I love places where you can get breakfast until after noon, because it's no exception for me to eat breakfast twice a day! I often eat something most people eat for breakfast, for lunch, such as oatmeal. I don't know why, but there's something magical about all the possibilities breakfast gives you that I love so much more than lunch or dinner. That might have something to do with my love for sweets, but shh. I ran out of muesli a couple of days ago, so I decided it was time to make some homemade muesli again! And this, my dear, is a real gem.

How to start your week right

Do you know that moment on Sunday night where you know a new, hectic week is coming but you're not really ready for it yet? If you do, high five! I personally find that all the events happening in a week can be quite stressful. I must admit that I'm a gigantic planner, so maybe you're only stressed when you're knee-deep in it already.

Antwerp Chocolate Week

If you live in Antwerp, listen up! Today is the official start of the second Antwerp Chocolate Week. I don't think it is a surprise that I will participate again. Belgium is famous for its chocolate and Antwerp is a true chocolate paradise! I never even realised there were so many chocolatiers. And they're all extremely good at their job! Why must chocolate be so delicious?
