Recently, my news feed on IG has been changing. I don’t know if this is now getting trendier, or if it has something to do with my activity, but instead of getting all these posts about losing weight, I am now getting a lot of body positive posts, real women, real bodies, no filters, no … More Weight gain during lockdown
Till COVID-19 emerged into our lives, I would buy a cup of coffee at a coffee shop every single day. I had some instant coffee at home, which I would, on occasion, drink. My thoughts about coffee or more specifically, becoming more ethical and sustainable when it came to coffee, were finding the best third … More Freestyle home brewing
I don’t think I’ve ever posted a recipe on here, but as I am quite bored in my self-isolation, I am doing a lot of cooking, to help pass the time.

Took part (either teaching or taking class) in a live-streaming or a Zoom session 81 times. The most memorable session was when I … More 30 days of quarantine
Obviously quarantine has changed all of our lives, and if you aren’t an essential worker, you probably find yourself spending most of your time at home. Gyms and studios are closed, and if you live in an apartment in the middle of a city (like me), getting around and staying active is probably quite a … More How to stay fit during quarantine
My last two posts were a funny, slightly cynical depiction of my feelings about the whole COVID-19 lockdown, so today I decided to share my more serious thoughts on the matter. And I am gonna start by putting it out there, not without feeling guilty about it – I am actually liking lockdown quite a … More Coping with Lockdown
My mom comes from a lineage of intellectuals, her parents were both educated and educators, and while activities of sharpening the mind were very much encouraged in her house, physical activity was non-existent. This is how my mom discovered, for the first time in her life, at the tender age of 32, after earning her … More Why self-kindness is more important than a handstand press
