MOVING

Hello dear reader!

I have moved to a new domain: local & away. Come on over and visit me there :)

ON FEELING UNACCOMPLISHED

This week I was asked to write a summary of my experiences as an Erasmus student. Automatically my mind went to the things that you do as an Erasmus student. Parties. Friends. Travel. Having the best year of your life.
And I felt like the past seven months have been wasted time. Because I didn't party a lot. I didn't find a ton of friends. I didn't even travel as much as I wanted to. Nor am I particularly happy with my French.

So I can't help but ask myself why. Is it my fault? Is it the clichés' fault?

BODY CARE PRODUCT CHECK

left to right: worst to best

I am making an effort to reduce my stuff and know the story behind the products I consume. Listening to an episode of the Pure Green Podcast, I realised I haven't given that much thought to the products I use on my body and hair. I have been trying to use items that are vegan/not tested on animals and I really like the organic, mostly vegan and affordable line of dm, alverde.

Being abroad and living only with a fraction of the things you own has many advantages, one of them being that you can that much easier assess what you really need and use.
