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.
