Sometimes when I push myself too hard, my body whispers: a stiff shoulder, an ache in my elbow… little reminders to slow down.
I used to ignore them, but learning to love myself also means learning to listen to my body, my intuition, that inner voice.
So I took a step back and gave myself a me-day. 😊

It started with catching the bus at 11:11 ✨
Stopped by Louf for almond croissants (got lucky 😋), then grabbed a matcha with coconut milk before heading to Oracley.

Breathwork was intense: crying, laughing, releasing things I didn’t even realize I was holding.
Yoga nidra softened whatever was left.
I walked out feeling so zen and open.

Afterwards, I found a quiet corner, ate my croissant, journaled, and then went gift hunting for my niece.
Also met up with a friend for a coffee catch-up… funny how we met randomly in Barcelona and now we’re both back in NL. Coincidence?!? 😇

After our chat, I wandered into a few vintage stores. Once a fashionista, always a fashionista! 😜 Lucky for my wallet, I found nothing. Not for me, and not for my niece either. So I called it a day.

Finished the day craving ramen… but my fave spot was closed, so Wagamama it was. 🥲

On the bus home I realized: this was exactly what my body needed… to pause, to tune in, to soften.
Your body always gives you signs, you just have to listen. 🩷✨ #littlejadeskitchen #meday #foodieday #innerwork #listeningtomybody by @simply_me_288

Call me crazy, but I truly missed this Dutch winter weather. The air is so fresh and crisp. 😍
That feeling on your face when it’s so cold it starts to tingle and even hurt a little. 🥰🤩

Tonight I took myself on a beautiful after-dinner walk. I’m so grateful that I live close to the water. Every time I walk here, I can let go of all my worries & recharge. The water really heals. The woods too! 🌲☺️

Whenever I have a lot on my mind, I’ve learned to go into nature and let it take away all my worries and sorrows. There’s something truly magical about what a walk in the woods, along the coast, or just being in nature can do for you.

Note to self: time for more walks in nature. 🍃🤎😊

This morning started slow and gentle. I took a moment to reflect and tune in with this beautiful 11.11 portal. ✨

And funny enough, a few days ago I booked a cacao ceremony with a sound journey, not realizing it would be today, on 11.11. And guess what time the session started, exactly at 11. 😄💫 Some would call it a coincidence, but I like to think of it as a little wink from the universe: a reminder that when you follow your heart, things align in the most magical ways.

In between classes, I wandered through the city, stumbled upon the cutest little button shop and just enjoyed the beautiful weather & streets of Amsterdam. Ended my day with a classic mat Pilates session and a matcha coconut cloud. The perfect closing to this dreamy, synchronistic day. 🩷

Feeling so grateful, so aligned, and a little bit in awe of how beautifully things flow when you just let them. 😌🌸

This morning’s walk made me realize how much I’ve missed autumn 🍂

Since moving to Barcelona, I haven’t really had the chance to experience this season. The crisp air, the golden light, the colors changing day by day. It’s like nature is quietly reminding me how beautiful change can be.

There’s something so peaceful about it… the slowing down, the soft transformation.
It just feels good to be here for it again 🧡🤎 by @simply_me_288

Whenever I have a workout day in Amsterdam, I always end it with a session at @oracleyspace It’s become my little ritual, and I absolutely love coming here. #😍💫

Today felt extra special. I began with a full-body barre Pilates class, took a little pause & walk, then had my very first restorative & Reiki session. Right after, I stayed for a sound healing session in the same serene space. #🧘🏻‍♀️✨
It was everything I didn’t know I needed. The perfect, gentle ending to a much-needed “me day.”

Last week, I hardly stepped outside. I was deep in a Marie Kondo-style clean-out at home, while also participating in a social media challenge for @littlejadeskitchen , posting as many recipe creations as I could while decluttering, cooking, styling, and photographing each one. #📸🍽️

By the end of the week, my wrist ached, my energy felt blocked, and something inside me just wasn’t flowing right. I realized I’d been so caught up in doing that I’d forgotten how to just be.

But today, in the calm and safety of Oracley, something began to shift. My breath deepened. My body softened. My nervous system finally exhaled. That beautiful space, the energy, the people, it all held me with so much care. #🌿✨

If you ever find yourself in Amsterdam, treat yourself to a sound healing or one of the many healing sessions Oracley offers. It’s more than just a studio, it’s a sanctuary, and a gathering of truly special souls. #🤍

✨ What a magical Sunday at the opening of #Wunderships at @ndsmfuse!
My talented niece @yuklinman was one of the featured artists. Her piece was absolutely stunning #🩷

And that opening performance by @annajoanofficial… I’m still speechless.
Raw. Powerful. Vulnerable. Simply unforgettable. #goosebumps #flabbergasted

Also wandered through @expo_fiber_matters — wow. The textures, colors, and stories… so worth a visit. #mustsee #inspired

If you’re in Amsterdam, don’t miss this! 💫

In the beginning of my microdosing journey, I tried to overanalyze everything. I couldn’t let go. I felt uncomfortable, confused, and unsure of what I was experiencing. It left me feeling quite low over the past week. I was stuck in my head, trying to understand it all, to make sense of every feeling, every shift. #🙈

But today, something clicked. Through this process, I’ve come to realize that we’re constantly in a dialogue between our ego and our heart. As long as we’re unaware of it, our thoughts can torment us, especially when the ego takes over and tries to control or explain everything. And for someone who tends to overthink, that can be a heavy place to live in. #😮‍💨

Microdosing gave me just enough space to recognize: I am not my thoughts. With that awareness, a sense of calm washed over me. It’s like a fog lifted. Things feel clearer, lighter, and more grounded. This awareness is such a gift. Today, I finally feel more connected, more at peace. It’s an amazing feeling to witness myself in this new way. #☺️

Thank you @nanoustories @collectifmind for coming on my path, being there throughout my journey of insecurity and doubt. Grateful for all the support you gave me! #😍 #🙏 by @simply_me_288

It had been a while since I celebrated King’s Day. Being back in Amsterdam, I had to get used to how crowded it can get but in a good way. #🤗 The whole city turns into a sea of orange, full of energy and laughter. Everyone wears something orange, shirts, hats, sunglasses, even dogs get dressed up! #🤩

People fill the streets, selling old things from their attic, kids invent funny games to earn a few pennies, and music blasts from every corner of the street. It’s amazing to see how creative and open everyone becomes. Strangers feel like friends for a day. #😊

Of course, not everything is perfect. As the day goes on, some people drink a little too much and things can get a bit messy. And when the party is over, the streets are left messy with trash and broken stuff everywhere. #🥲

Still, even with its flaws, King’s Day shows the best parts of the Netherlands: creativity, connection, and the joy of celebrating together. #🥰 #kingsday #🧡 #🦁 #🇳🇱 by @simply_me_288
