✨ Happy International Women’s Day! ✨ To all ✨ Happy International Women’s Day! ✨

To all my incredible and beautiful girlfriends and women out there 💛 
Have a wonderful day !! Let’s continue to support each other through thick and thin—because when we stand together, we rise together. 💪✨

Btw, I discovered a new term this week, while listening to the podcast Begin Again, in the episode Reinvention The Secret to Finding Yourself. Every Woman Needs to Know This About Midlife, where Eleanor Mills shared her perspective on midlife, which resonated with me 100 % : The term is Queenager 👑

A Queenager is a woman in midlife who is thriving, embracing her power, and rewriting the narrative around aging. 💛

The episode was hugely inspiring—I absolutely love it! 💛 It’s the perfect listen for today! Thank you, eleanorkjmills, for coining this wonderful definition.

We are not fading into the background or resigned to the effects of peri/menopause—we have the tools, knowledge, and power to step into our boldest, most confident selves. ✨

This is our time! Let’s continue to nourish our bodies & souls, restore our energy, and embrace the wisdom, freedom, and self-discovery that come with the wealth of experience we as women bring to the world.

For all of you, who cannot get enough of pancakes: you can find my fluffy, nutty, and naturally sweet chestnut pancake recipe on my blog now—these pancakes are the perfect balance of indulgence and nourishment! 🌰

✨ They are packed with vitamin C-rich chestnut flour, skin-loving cashews, and a fragrant rosemary-orange drizzle, they’re a treat that doesn’t feel like a compromise. And no worries, if you do not have chestnut flower at hand, you can easily use coconut flour instead- instructions on the blog too.😉

💛 Best part? You can count this as part of your 20%—because healthy eating isn’t about perfection, it’s about balance!

🥞 It’s Pancake Day! But what about your healt 🥞 It’s Pancake Day! But what about your healthy eating goals?

Did you know that by now, many of those who set out to eat healthier on January 1st have already found themselves slipping back into old habits? Sound familiar? You’re not alone! Healthy eating is one of the top five New Year’s resolutions, but life gets busy, routines take over, and suddenly, that fresh start feels like a distant memory.

💡 Here’s the secret: Healthy eating shouldn’t be an all-or-nothing approach—it should be sustainable!

That’s why I love the 80/20 approach:
✅ 80% nourishing, wholesome foods
🍕 20% flexibility to enjoy treats without guilt

This isn’t about restriction or perfection. It’s about balance—because real life includes birthdays, dinners with friends, and the occasional pizza night. And guess what? That’s okay!

Here’s how to make 80/20 work for you:
✔️ Some people stick to 80% Monday–Friday, saving the weekend for indulgences.
✔️ Others prefer a daily approach, making small, balanced choices every day.
✔️ Need a guide? A coffee & treat = 20%, or if you’re having pizza, balance it out with a fresh salad or sautéed greens on the side.

👀 Curious to try it? Start with today’s Pancake Day recipe: Chestnut Pancakes with Cashew Cream!

Instagram can be a real time sink ⏳ but also an Instagram can be a real time sink ⏳ but also an endless source of inspiration! ✨ 

As a nutritionist and holistic chef, I love discovering new ways to elevate simple ingredients that I can recommend to my clients. When I saw planthooduk anthooduk’s boiled tofu with sticky chilli, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce, I had to try it – and wow, I wasn’t disappointed! 😍 So good, I’m making it again today.

Here’s the breakdown of my version:

🍜 Rice Noodles – gluten-free & easy to digest
🥬 Stir-fried Kale – rich in vitamins C, K & A, plus antioxidants for immune support & skin health ✨
🌿 Garden Peas – delicious, extra protein & fiber, and a fab local alternative to edamame! Frozen peas are a great choice when out of season.
🥢 Sauerkraut – packed with probiotics for happy gut microbes 🦠
🍯 Sticky Tamari-Ginger Sauce – made with my honey-fermented garlic for extra depth & gut love 🤤
🥢 Boiled Tofu – soft, silky, and soaks up all the flavors like a dream!

✨ Why I love this dish?

✔️ Quick & easy (ready in 10-15 min)
✔️ Packed with fiber, protein & antioxidants
✔️ Gut-friendly with fermented goodness
✔️ Versatile – swap in your fave winter veggies (roasted squash next time!)
✔️ Enjoy it warm or cold – meal prep win! 🙌 Planthood UK.

🌱 Plus, I totally forgot my radish sprouts until I started eating, so they are not featured in the picture 😅 – but don’t skip your sprouts! They add an extra boost of enzymes, fiber & nutrients.

🌙 A good night’s rest is the BEST! ✨But why 🌙 A good night’s rest is the BEST! ✨But why is sleep so important & how can you improve it? 🛌✨

💡 I love a good night’s sleep, but unfortunately, Mr. Sandman doesn’t stop by my house every night. 😅 Some nights, it just feels impossible to fall or stay asleep – especially when I don’t stick to my own self-care rules. 🤭 But when I do follow them, they work wonders! 

🌱 Sleep is more than just a time to rest. It’s when your body:

Repairs & regenerates cells: 🛠️ During deep sleep our body focuses on repairing skin, muscles, & organs by boosting protein synthesis & releasing growth hormones – essential for recovery and overall health.

Processes and stores memories: 🧠 Sleep helps consolidate everything you’ve learned during the day, enhancing focus, creativity, & emotional regulation. REM sleep is vital for problem-solving and processing emotions.

Hormone Balance: ⚖️ Sleep regulates hormones like cortisol (stress) & melatonin (sleep). Poor sleep disrupts this balance, leading to stress, mood swings, and low energy.

Regulates metabolism: 🔥 Without enough sleep, insulin sensitivity decreases while hunger hormones (ghrelin) rise & fullness hormones (leptin) drop. This can cause sugar cravings 🍩 and potential weight gain.

When you skimp on sleep:

😴 Fatigue and irritability
🍩 Increased cravings
🛡️ Weakened immune system

🌟 Quality sleep is non-negotiable for energy, health & balance!

💤 Struggling to get a good night’s sleep? Try these quick tips:

✨ Stick to a consistent bedtime: 📅 A regular sleep schedule strengthens your circadian rhythm, helping your body know when to wind down.

☀️ Get natural light exposure - morning sunlight in particular helps regulate melatonin production, keeping you awake during the day and sleepy at night.

📵 Avoid screen time at least 1 hour before bed: Blue light from devices suppresses melatonin, making it harder to fall asleep. 

🍵 Sip on calming herbal teas: Peppermint 🌿, ginger 🫚, and lavender 💜 teas may support lowering cortisol levels, relax the mind, and deep sleep.
