Hello everyone,
Today I watched a Youtube video by inmimisbowl in which she answers 10 questions about books. In order to entertain myself for a little while (during this lockdown) I thought I’d answer the same questions.
Before we get into the questions and answers I want to remind all of you that you can now get my poetry collection “Learning to Look Up” on Amazon. Read More »
Hello everyone,
It’s been a while since I posted anything on here. But I thought I’d let you know why that is:
After working a lot on it, I finally managed to publish my own poetry collection.
It’s called “Learning to Look Up” and it’s all about going through hell to get to a good place. It is the product of years of self-discovery and growth.
The book has two parts: “Black and white” and “Living color”. Each represents the different phases of emotional growth. Each part contains pieces that describe emotions and feelings or words of encouragement you may need to hear.
It is available as both a paperback version and as an ebook.
So if you’re bored during this self-isolation/quarantine time and would like something new to read, go get yourself a copy of my debut poetry collection!
Follow this link to your Amazon to get yours now: https://linktr.ee/isabellekooreman
Thanks!
Hello Everyone,
Sometimes you crave things; cheezy pasta, pizza, loaded fries. Whatever it is for you, you can bet on it that there’s a healthy version of it out there, now. So why not add another one?
I made this recipe for healthy nachos while I was on vacation in Spain. I was craving nachos for dinner and was inspired by the ever-inspiring Ellen Fisher (while watching her YouTube videos) to make them healthy. The end-result was surprisingly good. So good that even my family (who all hate quinoa) asked me to make it for them, too, next time.Read More »
A while ago, my dad gave me a hard-drive that contained some old files of me and my sister. I decided to look through it and toss what I no longer need. But while looking through it, I came across all these old pictures of me, my sister, our family and our friends.
It was so strange seeing myself. I remember once, a few years ago, some of my college friends and I were looking at pictures of us through the years. And if there’s one thing that stood out, it’s how much I changed every single year.Read More »
I always bring my own lunch to work. It’s cheaper , better for your health and more delicious. I usually always take the same thing; deliciously ella’s cucumber-hazelnut quinoa or a salad. But a little while ago I felt like trying something different. Something new. I came up with this recipe on a whim but it tastes so good I’ve made it several times, since. It’s fresh, filling, creamy and full of healthy ingredients. This recipe is perfect as a to-go-lunch (make this batch the day before and you can bring it as a lunch for the next two days). I imagine this recipe will be a great addition when you’ve got a summer barbeque.Read More »
Paella: Delicious. Filling. Full of veggies and doused in summer-vibes.
Now that spring is here and sunlight and warmth are becoming more and more regular it’s time to bring out the delicious summer recipes, and Spanish food is a summer-must.Read More »
I’m going to the gym again. A lot.
I used to go every day when I was living in New Orleans, and for some reason when I came back, I just stopped. It’s been almost two years, but I’m back.
In order to make sure I do everything right I asked for help from a good friend of mine. She’s studying to get a trainer certificate and helped me make sure my posture/exercises are safe and set up a plan.
But now that I’ve been going for a couple of weeks there are a few things I’ve noticed. Things we all need to keep in mind when getting back into old habits (or when we’re just starting new ones). I think these tips are applicable to any new healthy habits you’re trying to adopt. So be sure to use them in any way you want or that suits your current situation, whether you’re going to the gym, eating healthier or trying to adopt a positive mindset.Read More »
Lately, I’ve been on a health streak. I’ve never been able to keep that going for this long. The reason I manage to keep eating healthy is because I make every meal delicious. I’ve been experimenting with new recipes and “tickle my taste-buds” (anyone get the reference?) in order to keep this healthy lifestyle exciting.
One of the ingredients I am loving, at the moment, is Seamore I sea pasta. This pasta (made of just seaweed) is delicious, light and flavorful. You can use it in Asian or Mediterranean dishes, it always works. Fun fact: Seamore pasta is a great source of Iodine – something that isn’t easy to get in on a vegan diet.
I’m bored.
There’s no other way to say it. I’m bored. I need something new in my life. Something that makes me feel warm and tingly inside. That feeling that you get when you know you’re going to do something with no clue how it will end. It’s the feeling you have when you’re traveling; every day when you wake up. Anything can happen.Read More »
I used to love peanut butter cups when I was living in New Orleans. Justin’s dark chocolate were my favorite vegan ones and the fact that they sold them at Starbucks on campus made my coffee fix better every time.
Peanut butter cups aren’t really a thing in the Netherlands so I decided to make my own. These are quick, simple, easy and only require 5 ingredients! You can always add some other ingredients; maca powder, other nut butter, sprinkles on top before you freeze them. Whatever you like.Read More »
