Good morning beautiful people! 🌻 I think I just

World's quickest low-carb lunch

Woho! I literally just flipped that egg from the hot pan. Low-carb (or keto) is good for those wanting to stay at a healthy weight during lockdown, here's the recipe for this beauty 👇

Tuscan beans & sunny side up
For 2

1. Heat up olive oil in a non stick pan and when hot, fry two eggs for 2-3 minutes or until settled
2. While the eggs are frying, finely dice half a red onion, rinse and drain a 400g can of cannelini beans, juice half a lemon and grab a can of tuna. In a big bowl, mix first red onion & lemon juice, add salt & pepper and some olive oil, then add the beans and the delicious tuna and mix well.

Bon appetit!

Stressed from working at home? Here's my working d

Stressed from working at home? Here's my working desk, where the final bits & pieces of PhD on healthy ageing are getting written 💕 I've turned my desk into a 'writing retreat' - here are some of my tips for making an at-home workplace feel more relaxed:

👉 Declutter and make your desk pretty or cool 🎈🎁. Definitely make sure you have plenty of (day)light. If this means you have to put your desk in the kitchen, then so be it!
👉 Only checking email when neccessary (depending on your type of work). Try using the offline mode. Alternatively, turn off email notifications so they do not disturb you as you work.
👉 Inspiring/calming music or youtube videos of forest and nature/river sounds, often they come with amazingly beautiful footage (my right screen atm)🌳 🍃🌿
👉 Really good herbal teas (certain blends can have a very calming aroma - I like lavander and 'Tension Tamer')
👉 Preparing healthy snacks at the beginning of the day (mandarines, bananas, fresh veggies such as cucumber & bell peppers) to have them ready in times of stress 🍉🍊
👉 Screensaver photo of a favourite holiday (Bali in my case 😊). I can almost feel the breeze! (Or is that just my Dutch house leaking cold air? 🤣)
👉 Set a timer for doing work you dread - 20/40/60 minutes ONLY to work on it. After that, you're not allowed to work on it anymore :p (a little pressure works wonders on completing tasks we dread)
👉 Going outside for walks often and stretching your legs!

Let the zen begin 💆‍♀️🌿

Oh ps. I promise I'll start sharing more recipes again soon!!! 😉

Still getting in those 10k steps a day? 🌻 I do

Still getting in those 10k steps a day?

🌻 I don't know about you, but the semi-lockdown has definitely made my jeans feel a little tighter! #goshdarnit

So yesterday, I (finally) started using an activity tracker to find out if I was getting enough exercise and realised I had only done 1k steps by the time it was 18 o'clock! 😅 So, I had to go on a 1,5 hour walk yesterday evening to hit 10k 😅

Today (picture from a walk just now :)) I'm already two walks and 4,5k steps in 🙂 WOHO!

🌻 this is my daily reminder for you to get those 10k steps too! 😀

Oh and some tips to corona-proof your walks:
👉 Find a big open area
👉 Or quiet residential areas
👉 Go at uncrowded times (early morning, during a slight drizzle, and basically any other time that is not rush hour)
👉 Keep 1,5m distance from everyone (walk around crowds (it'll get you extra steps ;))
