Sushi bowls

One of the things we have in common is our profound love for sushi. Given the chance, we'd probably go out and have sushi at least twice a week. Unfortunately, we neither have the money for takeaway sushi, nor do we have the time and patience to roll our own sushi every time we crave it. So, luckily we came across the perfect solution: sushi bowls! We had seen different versions of this genius idea on Pinterest, but it wasn't until Lisa's birthday in April that we gave it a try. Because it's so simple and versatile, it instantly became one of our favourite dishes.

Vintage Outfit

Last Friday was the day of my graduation! I was so nervous that I had trouble sleeping the night before, because it was going to be such a memorable day. I want to share this moment with you guys and give you a little insight in my choice of outfit for this day. Because I wanted to wear a special dress for the occasion, my mom and I browsed the internet to find interesting clothing shops in the area. We discovered a very nice store that sells retro and vintage inspired fashion: Very Cherry (they also sell online). Since I really love this style and because I like to wear something different instead of a standard dress, we decided to  go and visit the shop in Rotterdam.

Stray Cat Project Skiathos

How was your summer? Did you enjoy your holiday or did you do something else? For me this was my last summer as a veterinary student, since I have completed all my courses and internships. On September 5th I will receive my diploma and from that day I will be an official vet. Because I had a lot of free time left during July and August, I decided to use this time for gaining extra experience. I wanted to do a volunteer internship in another country, so that I could help (stray) animals and at the same time enjoy another view and culture. Via a website for animal internships I found the volunteer project Skiathos Cat Welfare Association, which is located on the island Skiathos, Greece. I spoke about my plans with my boyfriend and since he is a big cat lover, he liked to come with me. We booked our flights and boat trips (a tip for you guys if you want to fly cheap; departure from Brussels, Belgium with Ryanair is way cheaper than departure from Amsterdam; I paid under 200 euro for a return ticket) and I collected some medical supplies and study books. After this we were ready to go on this adventure. 

Summer Break

As you may have noticed, there is not much going on here at the moment, mainly because we have decided to take a summer break. Ivanna and I both went through some important changes in our lives, which took up pretty much all of our time. I'll try to summarize it:

Over the past months, Ivanna got her degree in veterinary medicine and moved in with her boyfriend, with whom she is currently working as a volunteer in a veterinary clinic in Greece for the next four weeks. I also took an important step in my romantic life by moving in together with my boyfriend quite recently, so I'm still practically in the middle of a move. Oh, and I will also be heading to Greece later this month - the similarities here are quite eerie... I'll be on a different island than Ivanna though, but that doesn't matter, because I now live like 2 minutes away from her :)

As far as technicalities go, we know our blog is a bit of a mess right now, and we humbly apologise for that. We were working on some new ideas, but got interrupted by all this other important stuff, so it's kind of inbetween everything right now (just like us :p). Our shop is still open, so no worries there! Although, do note that we will both be away between August 1 and 23. This means that our shop will remain open, and you will still be able to place orders, but you will have to wait until after August 23 for your order to be shipped. 

In the meantime, we may post a little something now and then, or we may not. We wish you all a fantastic summer, and we'll definitely be back next month!

Lots of love, 

Lisa
