The most popular sandwich from America is still the BLT (Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato). If you don't feel like having a sandwich you can also make a tasty salad with the same ingredients, think of Subway where you can order most sandwiches as a salad.To give the BLT salad a bit more bite I've made a pasta salad out of it. I made the standard BLT recipe a little more personal by adding some ingredients that I just find very tasty.BLT Pasta salad.It looks tasty! The main ingredients (bacon, lettuce and tomato) are there but in addition I've added some ...

Detoxing with Chlorella

Superfood, one will benefit from it and the other thinks it's nonsense. Personally I like to use chia seeds or hemp seeds in my yogurt with organic muesli in the morning, but what's perhaps my most important superfood is Chlorella. I take this super powerful detoxifier every morning in pill form after my breakfast to clean my intestines and for more resistance and energy.Chlorella.In Japan, where people are generally eating pretty healthy, chlorella is very popular. This green algae cleanse your body of heavy metals such as lead and mercury and is full of vitamins (B-vitamins), minerals (iron and folic acid), fiber, ...

Benefit Precisely My Brow Pencil

I must confess that I don't always give my eyebrows attention. I think they're already quite present because they are dark and the only thing I keep on track is plucking. Once I painted them in a beautysalon to get in those tight lines but that was really too dark for me. Yet it's a fact that when I do color my eyebrow myself it really does something for my face, as long as it doesn't turned out too heavy. There are several products that you use to bring your eyebrows into shape, but I personally think a pencil with ...

Healthy Toothpaste

Nowadays almost everyone pays attention to their food, whether it's organic or without any bad E-numbers and other toxins. But what about toothpaste and fluoride? Something we use every day. Fluoride is increasingly discredited and is even linked to certain disorders, brain damage and birth defects, when you buy fluoride toothpaste in America there's a warning on the packaging. In the Netherlands, the country full of rules and proper monitoring of medication, it's not mentioned anywhere. Recently I was at the drugstore to look for fluoride-free toothpaste of Parodontax when I was approached by a lady who swore by this product. ...

Biodermal sensitive skin

Usually I use the more expensive brands on my skin for the night, but my Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil is unfortunately empty (expensive but highly recommended), and now I use a more less expensive night cream from the new care line by Biodermal. This care line is specifically for the (very) sensitive skin, now I don't really have sensitive skin (think of prone to redness, flaking and itching), but I think it's important that my skin is nourished and hydrated and that's exactly what this cream promise. Thereby Biodermal is a very good brand that's known to use ...
