it's a new month, it's a new day

things i'm looking forward to this month

• going to the lake district with my parents
• celebrating my friend naomi's wedding
• travel to the eastern sea with my brother
• the beginning of summer. 

being done with my exams will give me a lot of free time, which i want to use purposefully. so here a few things i want to do this month:

• spend time with jesus. study his word. pray. enjoy his presence. 
• going raw for a couple of days a week, and choose wisely what i eat, so it's healthy for me and the environment (i just bought "crazy sexy kitchen" by kris carr - very inspirational!)
• read. (list of books i want to read coming up soon!) 

may the month of june be fabulous! have a great week!

ps: got my last exam today - keep your fingers crossed!

colourful and tasty

i have been reading a lot about nutrition lately, the bad effects of sugar, how the pH of food affects our health and about good and bad carbs. i don't really know to what extent it is realistic and practical to be able to consider all this in my every day diet, but i do know that eating vegetables makes me feel very happy, especially if they come in many different colours! 

so yesterday i made some quinoa salad.

it's super easy, just cook the quinoa, add some oil and balsamic and then cut up tomatoes, cucumber,  spring onions, radish, olives and some peppermint. i added some feta cheese, just experiment and throw in whatever suits your fancy. 

enjoy!
