Hey you guys! As some of you noticed I deactivated my Instagram account on Thursday, January 28. I’m taking a much-needed break from social media, to regain some focus and clarity on the things I want in my life, and to take some pressure and to-dos off myself. Moreover, I’m positive it’ll free up some …
The problem with social media
Have you ever picked up your cell phone to perform a specific task, then spend 10-15 minutes on the phone. And when you locked it afterward, noticed you hadn’t done the assignment you wanted to complete? Nowadays, it’s easy to get stuck scrolling your Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube feed. It’s easy to lose yourself in …
Coming clean
Over the past months, I’ve realized how far I’ve come. Unfortunately and frighteningly, I’ve understood how much of a path I’ve still got ahead of me.Some of you might remember; I’ve never kept it a secret. But I haven’t spoken much about it either.“Spill the beans now, Niki,” you might think. Writing this is tough. …
”Vegans are missionaries” – a statement
Are all vegans “missionaries,” and why do they bother everyone with their eating habits? Please note I’m making an effort to write this as objective as I can. As I am vegan, I probably cannot be neutral but lean on one side. However, for this experiment, please play along. Imagine you know something of which …

The recipe I’m about to share with you today is not just a classy pumpkin soup but especially scores by the toppings. The combination – although it might sound strange at first …
Vegan pumpkin & spinach LASAGNA (healthy, oil-free)
This spontaneous recipe idea turned out so good my boyfriend brought me Lasagna sheets the next day and said I needed to make it again haha. The best part is that it’s really healthy -especially if compared to “normal” lasagna. It contains only a fraction of the fat traditional lasagna would have and is incredibly …
Chai spiced oatmeal
Fall hit me. It was expected and yet I was surprised. All of a sudden getting out of bed every morning was a struggle. Suddenly I was freezing my balls of – or would have if I had balls – and going out without a jacket was a dumb idea. Actually I’m still battling a …
Pumpkin spiced choc chip cookies (healthy, sugar-, oil- and gluten-free, vegan)
Don’t put aside this blog post just yet. I get that the title might be a little confusing. Cookies without sugar, butter, vegan and gluten-free too? Maybe you’re wondering whether healthy cookies can even taste good but I promise they do! Baking without using refined sugar is actually really easy and there are a lot …
Pumpkin spiced oats with caramelized cranberries
Autumn… A time for cuddling up in bed with cozy socks, a cup of tea and a great book. It’s also the time for Thanksgiving, Halloween, the last sunny days and of course the time for pumpkins, cranberries, hazelnuts and oatmeal – of course. What is something that reminds you of autumn? To me there’s …
