#100daysofhappy - Day 13 Juice time!

I am still getting used to veggie juices, however I have discovered that apples sweeten everything up. This juice is sweet and spicy at the same time. Spicy depending on the amount of ginger you add.

For this colorful veggie juice you will need for one large glass:

• 2 apples
• 1 beetroot
• 2 large carrots
• 2cm of ginger root

#100daysofhappy - Day 12 Books

Sometimes my train ride to work can't take too long enough. Not that I don't want to work, I am just so into my book.
I love reading chick lits, literature, fiction, non-fiction etc. Reading is not only fun, it is good for your health as well. Some studies have shown that reading can actually improve the overall quality of your life.

Some fun facts:

• If you read a lot, your likely to remember more and learn something new every day
• Reading can lower the risk at getting Alzheimer's disease
• A book can help you relax
• A research carried out by the University of Toronto suggest that reading fiction helps you to be more open-minded and boasts your creative thinking
• Reading expands your memory
• By reading a lot you expand your vocabulary, making you sound like a genius ;)

Happy reading!

#100daysofhappy - Day 11 Enjoy the little things

Sometimes happiness can be found in the littlest of things. This week I bought myself a pink tiny notebook for noting down thoughts and quotes, instant happiness. Another instant happiness is a huge pile of magazines, green tea and a warm bed… Hello weekend!

#100daysofhappy Day 8 - Soft lips

One thing that can get me really irritated is dry lips. Now with the temperature on freeze modus and the heater turned on, dry hands and lips are inevitable. I just discovered baby lips by Maybelline, I saw it popping up on Pinterest and We Heart It every now and then and got curious. After trying the cherry red, I decided just to buy the whole lot :). It keeps your lips extremely soft and moisturized. A little tip for even softer lips; 'brush' your lips lightly with an old and soft toothbrush and apply a bit of vaseline just before going to bed.
