• Pasta with Salmon and Mascarpone

    By Frieda Thursday, April 9, 2015 0 , Permalink 0

    The first recipe on my blog is a fact. When I've no inspiration for dinner and too little time for a recipe from a cookbook, I always grab pasta. You can endlessly combine pasta and on such a day I combine the pasta with what I feel like that day. I always make sure that there's in any case always something of vegetables and meat or fish in it. This simple dish is very tasty and easy to prepare, ideal when you have little time but still want to put a good meal for yourself and / or your family on ...

  • My 10 Favorite Quotes on Instagram

    By Frieda Friday, March 27, 2015 0 , Permalink 1

    I find Instagram a great social media network and it's also becoming increasingly popular. Instagram has a casual vibe and there's hardly any negativity. Instagram is more than just sharing photos and videos with your followers, it's also increasingly used by companies to promote their products and / or services. Instagram is very user friendly and your instagram pictures are very easy to link with your Twitter and Facebook accounts. I use my Instagram account to promote my blog, to share nice personal photos, but also to share quotes, funny quotes to cheer you up but also quotes that give you a lesson. ...

    Pinterest is an online pinboard where you can create your own mood boards, from Beauty, Fashion and DIY to recipes and decor, name it and it's been pinned.

As a business it's also useful ...

  • What’s in my handbag?

    By Frieda Saturday, February 21, 2015 0 , Permalink 0

    I recently started this blog and I realized I didn't spent much content on the subtitle Personal. What I always like to read on other blogs and what's very personal, is what we woman bring in our handbag, so therefore this blogpost; What's in my handbag? Before I show you the stuff inside, first the bag. The Michael Kors handbag. If we are in America and go shopping I've a big soft spot for some stores, one of them is the Michael Kors store. Now Michael Kors is obviously not cheap, but you become greedy there, everything is beautiful. Since one and a half year I've this fantastic Michael Kors bag in ...

  • My 3 Favorite Perfumes

    By Frieda Saturday, January 31, 2015 0 , , , Permalink 0

    Perfume is a very personal thing, it lies in what kind of mood you're in, whether it's morning or evening, summer or winter, whether you go to work or to a dinner party. Some like heavy fragrances, others keep it more light and fruity. A fragrance can smell very good at one person, but doesn't on another (acidity of your skin). For me personally, not a day goes by that I don't have perfume on. Every day I spray perfume on, even if I don't leave the house (is very rare, but still). I'm not someone who is using a lot of perfume bottles, ...

  • 25 Food Questions Tag

    By Frieda Sunday, January 18, 2015 0 , , Permalink 0

    On several blogs I came across the 25 Food Questions Tag, fun to read. I love to eat (eat just about everything) and thought this is a nice list of questions for me. Check it out. What is your favorite breakfast? I've two types of breakfast, one for when I'm in a hurry and one for when I've more time. First I start before I've breakfast with a glass of lukewarm water with lemon. If I'm in a hurry, I like to eat a slice of brown bread with dark chocolate sprinkles (love dark chocolate) and if I've more time I've breakfast with ...

  • MAC Clear Bag Set

    By Frieda Wednesday, January 14, 2015 0 , Permalink 0

    Transparent make-up bags are the invention of the century (at least for me). If anything, I hate it when I have to seek through my makeup bag for a lip gloss or tweezers (it's always on the bottom of course), I don't have the patience for it. With these transparent make-up bags by MAC you immediately see where everything is. They aren't very big and therefore ideal for your handbag, you can't complete stuff them as you might be used to with your current make-up bag, it's not getting any prettier, it's a flat design and intended for a small number of articles. What ...

  • Green tea

    By Frieda Monday, January 12, 2015 0 , Permalink 0

    Okay, okay, I admit, I'm a coffee addict, but in the evening on the couch with a cup of hot tea, I can certainly appreciate too. When I drink tea, I actually only drink green tea. Because I find it tasty but also because it's healthy, but how healthy is green tea? 1. It's a powerful antioxidant. Green tea contains many valuable antioxidants because there has occurred no oxidation in green tea. You can compare this oxidation process best with the browning (oxidation) of a half-eaten apple (as black tea is made). Antioxidants have a very beneficial effect on our health. 2. ...
