I have basically been a bookworm ever since I first learned to read. I’m that person who doesn’t know how to not have a book to read. Even as a teenager in high school, I’d finish my work in class and then whip out a paperback that I had tucked inside my binder, happily reading …
Sometimes when I read a book or watch a TV show or movie, I get a bit distracted by the food the characters eat. I don’t care whether it’s a real, existing meal such as the Dutch recipe Hutspot I’m about to talk about, or if it’s made up (such as much of the food …

I hear the term “guilty pleasure” a lot and I’ve never really understood it very well, even though I do use it myself sometimes. I always wondered, “well why is it a GUILTY pleasure if it makes me happy?” And so I just refuse to feel guilty about things I enjoy. But it isn’t just …
So am I the only one who is still a little bit shell-shocked over the fact that we are somehow in 2019 already? To be honest, I’m not even sure what happened to December. Or really, most of the entire year. It went by so fast, even if some individual days were slow. I figured …

I know, it’s funny for ME of all people to be talking about the bright side of winter. Anyone who has known me for more than a few minutes knows that I’m a die-hard summer fanatic. I love the sun and the heat and even a little bit of humidity (I was less enthused about …

I have not been a fan of this year, health-wise. It’s not like I’ve had any major health issues; I haven’t been hospitalized or even had to go to the ER this year (*knocking furiously on wood because this damn year is not over yet!*). But honestly, I think my immune system has gone on …
This isn’t quite what you’d call a motivational confession but – I love being unproductive. If you pop on to Pinterest or just about any large magazine-type site you’ll find a ton of articles all about how to squeeze the most productivity out of your day. How to fit in some kind of breathtaking bit …
