What a year 2020 has been... I feel like this phot What a year 2020 has been... I feel like this photo really captures my mood on this last day of the year. 
I’m leaving 2020 hoping not to have to look back on it too much. I’ve done that quite a lot in the past few months already. So much happened this year and at the same time it felt like everything was the same? Excitement, illness, choc, fear, lockdown, illness, loss, more illness, more stress, solitude, mental health, despair, breakdowns, therapy, growth,...
I always try to end the year thinking about everything I’m proud of or learnt that year. This year... it was a challenge. But I’ve tried to only think positively even when honestly it was hard to find a good reason why something happened. 
My next video will be all about what I learned in 2020 and what I’m planning on working on in 2021. I’m going to do it differently this year...
Now I’m going to pop down on the couch, journal on this final day of the year and then play some board game with my boyfriend, eat our heart out and continue watching Criminal Minds because we’re obsessed 😂
Love, Gaby 🤍🤍🤍
P.S. See you next year 😉 (I had to)
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about happiness. Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about happiness. For the past few weeks, I’ve slowly started to feel like myself again. I’ve felt motivated to work towards my goals, inspired to start new creative projects, more positive and hopeful and found myself living in the moment more and more. I’ve realized that in many small moments I’ve felt happy. There wasn’t any huge change, no travel, no great discovery. Just moments when i felt content: Playing a board game with my boyfriend; cry laughing on Skype with my sister; looking at Snaps of our puppy my sister sends me on Snapchat; baking a cake and having  a slice (or two) for breakfast the next day; watching a YouTube video that makes me feel good, calm and inspired; listening to Folklore/Evermore whilst cooking, cleaning, creating moodboards; watching huge snowflakes fall from the sky on a snowy night... 
It’s in the small moments that I stop and just feel. Feel grateful to be recovering, thankful for my family and my partner, and hopeful for the future.
The fact that I’m preparing this post whilst sti The fact that I’m preparing this post whilst still in bed can only mean that it’s SO COLD this morning that I don’t know if and how I’ll ever be able to get out from under the covers 😳 But I have a lot to get done today so... motivation, come on... let’s get cracking 🤦🏻‍♀️
Another 22 days gone without me posting. To be com Another 22 days gone without me posting. To be completely honest with you guys, I’m still putting the pieces of myself back together. Working on improving my mental health through therapy and a lot of introspection, creating new habits and figuring things out as I go. I’m just realizing how much the last 2 years (and 2020...) have changed me and made me realize that my interests and priorities have shifted. So I didn’t feel like posting for a long time. I’m going to try to be more consistent but if I do i want to do it for me and not for the algorithm. It has to be something that makes me happy and not stresses me out. Something I’ve really had to understand recently is that you don’t have to force yourself to do things if it’s detrimental for you. But enough about me, how have YOU been doing? How’s your mental health? How’s the pandemic going nearby you? Tell me everything in the comments 💛

So that’s it, we are on a national lockdown agai So that’s it, we are on a national lockdown again. After weeks and months of hoping it wouldn’t happen again, there we are. It’s for the best as the number of cases were starting to get seriously too high. Let’s hope my mental health will be better this time 🙃 my therapist is going to hear from me a lot 😂

If there is something I’ve learned in the past f If there is something I’ve learned in the past few weeks is that being productive doesn’t mean working 24/7. It means balance. It means knowing the time during the day when you are feeling energized and the moments when you could take a break to recharge by going on a walk, reading, calling a friend. And as I’m slowly feeling better and getting back into work mode, I’m keeping that in mind. Learning to rely on what my body tells me to be able to tell when to push and when to stop and rest.

I think I’m better now, now fully myself but better is fine for now! My sister took these shots during our big summer photoshoot and I knew when I edited it that it would be perfect for Fall! I love how it all looks. It’s so weird to think back of August and realize this photoshoot was TWO MONTHS ago?! How crazy. So much has happened since. What a year 2020 is... 
How have you been doing my babes? Struggling? Thriving? Going along with the flow? Let me know! 💛

Quick & easy red berries verrines recipe for any occasion

Summer is on its way, the birds are chirping, the sun is shining… it’s time for making red berries verrines!

For Mother’s Day, last Sunday, my sister wanted to make a dessert but unfortunately, but didn’t have all the ingredients to make a berry cheesecake. So after a bit of research and as we wanted something cold and easy to make, we decided to make some dessert verrines. We usually make savoury verrines (tzatziki, cucumber and salmon is one of our favorite options) so this was a first sweet trial and spoiler alert… it went really well!

We switched up the original recipe quite a bit to adapt it to the ingredients we had and the dessert turned out to be incredibly good! When I asked some of you on my instagram if you’d like a blogpost on the recipe, lots of you said yes so here it is!

This dessert is super easy to make and very quick as there is not oven needed. I think overall it took us 45 minutes (including the cleaning up) because we we laughing so much and on sugar high.

The dessert is composed of 4 layers and here are the ingredients you’ll need:

  • the biscuits your heart desires
  • mascarpone (you can use some yogurt if you prefer)
  • sugar
  • jam of any kind
  • mix of fruit of your choice
  • a little bit of water

We used one pot of mascarpone and it made 5 verrines, the rest is adjustable.

We started by crumbling some biscuits but still keeping them a little big to get this nice crunchy texture. This will be the first layer of the verrine.

To go on top of the biscuits, whisk some mascarpone with a bit of sugar as it can be a bit sour. Then spoon it on top of the biscuits and with a little rounding motion, spread it.

We then opted for strawberry jam to add on top of the mascarpone to add a touch of sweetness – and deliciousness. We watered it down a little bit to make it easier to spread.

To go on top, we went for red berries cut in small bits and added the spread on top.

Then do these four steps a second time and you’re done!

You can now put these in the fridge for a couple hours and they are good to go! My mother (and all of us) was super happy and we had such a nice afternoon  eating this on our terrace on this hot sunny Sunday!

Soooo... I haven’t posted in over a week haven’t I? 
For a few weeks now I haven’t been feeling like myself. Zero motivation, feeling numb, crying all the time and being as unproductive as one can be. So I decided to take a break. A real break. So since Monday I’ve been resting, actually resting. The thing about starting your own business is you don’t have paid holidays or days off, you have to decide when to take them and it’s hard. So hard when you only rely on yourself. I would take an afternoon or a day off every once in a while and even our few days away didn’t do the trick. Because I was still thinking about work or being go-go-go. Being finally able to have nothing planned each day and just rest and do whatever I want as been so great. I needed that. The past 2 years have been quite traumatic and 2020 has just been the straw that broke that camel’s back. A camel (aka me, lol) that was already carrying so much, too much. It’s important, no scratch, ESSENTIAL to listen to your own needs. Society tells us that being busy and hustling is the way to succeed but when you keep running on empty it will just never happen. If you don’t put gas in your car you can’t expect it to just keep going. So I’m resting, I’ve also started therapy, I’m back swimming and just taking care of myself. And it feels right.
