I’ve been obsessed with bagels and cream cheese for years—it’s my go-to in the States. But my ultimate bagel experience wasn’t complete until now. Back in 2014, I had to get a bagel slicer from Williams-Sonoma. And for the past 6 years, I’ve been dreaming of Trader Joe’s Everything But the Bagel Seasoning. Now that I finally have it? Life-changing. The mix of sesame, garlic, and onion takes my bagels (and everything else) to the next level. One warning though—the garlic is strong. Maybe not first-date material. But honestly? Who cares. It’s that good.
Category: Behind the scenes
🇺🇸 Not everything I love fits neatly into a blog category—and that’s exactly what this space is for. From nostalgic throwbacks and style moments to unexpected finds and little joys, this is the part of the blog where I let things be a bit more spontaneous (and very me).
🇳🇱 Niet alles wat ik leuk vind past precies in een blogcategorie—en juist daarvoor is deze plek bedoeld. Van nostalgische momenten en stijlinspiratie tot spontane vondsten en kleine joys: hier laat ik mezelf gewoon even gaan.
🇪🇸 No todo lo que me encanta encaja en una categorÃa del blog—y por eso existe este espacio. Desde recuerdos nostálgicos y momentos de estilo hasta hallazgos inesperados y pequeñas alegrÃas, aquà comparto lo más espontáneo (y muy yo).
Traveling with EHS: Part 1 My Travel Tips & Aires Flex Experience
Traveling with EHS is like stepping into an EMF battlefield—airports buzzing with Wi-Fi, security scanners zapping you, and airplanes packed with Bluetooth signals. This trip, I’m testing the Aires Flex to see if it helps mitigate the electrostress. I’m also running a little experiment: one flight with noise-canceling AirPods, one without. Will Bluetooth exposure drain me more, or will my big amygdala regret the extra noise? Plus, my post-flight recovery plan includes grounding ASAP and extra hydration. Stay tuned for the results—because flying shouldn’t have to feel like an energetic wipeout!
Frodo the Butterfly: A Journey of Resilience and Reflection
This week, an unexpected visitor brought lessons of resilience, self-compassion, and transformation into my life. A beautiful peacock butterfly, Frodo, appeared in my bedroom, struggling with a broken wing. Our shared journey mirrored my inner struggles as I faced fatigue, emotions, and the need for healing. Naming him Frodo, after the resilient hobbit, I cared for him as he reminded me to embrace compassion—not only for others but also for myself. Frodo’s broken wing became a symbol of burdens carried and strength found. As he rests now in wintersleep, I trust his story isn’t over—just as my own continues to unfold.
