tuliplander I’d never realised how much people were triggered by corporate lives until I started sharing my corporate girly diaries on Instagram.

“Why are you wasting your life on this?”
“Do you realize that work is not the most important thing?”
“Hope this life never finds me, it’s depressing!”
“I did corporate just like you, you are heading towards burnout, trust me.”

I’m sorry, but did I miss the memo when we all stopped working and skipping our mortgage payments, travel expenses, restaurant bills and new clothing collection receipts?

Also, if you did corporate and hated it, you realise that your journey is not the only option, right? You can actually find a job (tasks, people, values, perks) you enjoy and yes, it can still be challenging, exhausting and draining because no one promised it’d be easy.

What’s important is to be in line with what you want and choose for yourself.
I choose normalizing 9 to 5 on social media, because I have a luxury of doing so. If you don’t like this for you, I respect that.

But I choose my way.
🙌♥️

tuliplander 15 years ago, 2 hours before studies - still wearing last night’s make-up, negotiating with my alarm clock, surviving purely on my 20-year-old metabolism and sheer delusion.

Two hours before work now - finishing my beauty sleep, drinking warm water to wake up my digestion, applying skincare that actually suits my skin and having oatmeal before coffee, like a responsible adult.

And honestly … I’m proud of this transformation.

Millennials get so much heat for being “cringe”, “living for the paycheck” or “having no fun left”, but I’m genuinely proud of us - choosing sleep, hydration, boundaries, SPF, corporate lives that we chose for ourselves.

Growing up isn’t so bad after all.
It actually looks good on us.
♥️

tuliplander All moms speak the same language ♥️🥰

I left home when I was 16 and started living on my own, 2000 km away from my parents.
Ever since then, I’ve been coming home with a food checklist of my favourite things that I have to eat :)

Six days of nonstop eating and my list is complete.
My family visit has come to an end.
Time to go home.

What’s your mom’s signature dish—the one you love most?

tuliplander Next time they ask why I’m “so dressed up” at work… I’ll just send them this video 🤓

Which outfit is your favourite?
And which one should I keep and tailor?

tuliplander I made it 🥰♥️

tuliplander I had an interesting conversation with a friend (10 years younger than me) who was genuinely surprised that I’m loving my 30+ girlie era:

- But everyone told me I’m living the life in my 20s and it’ll all be downhill from here.
- You need to check your sources, - I replied with a smile. I had so much fun in my 20s with all the partying and drinking and clubbing - but I would never go back.
- Really???
- Even if I was paid to :)
- But why?
- Because in my 30s I finally feel at peace with myself and I know my worth. I loved my 20s, but looking back, I realise I was a ball of insecurities. Don’t get me wrong - I still have so many issues to work on, but I’m finally in my safe space.

She actually thanked me as apparently “her youth didn’t have an imminent deadline” and wondered if the 30s are not as black as they’re painted.

So there I said it: I’m 35, full of insecurities, still don’t know what I what to be when I grow up - but a 20-year-old me would look up to me, and that makes me proud.

How old are you and how do you feel about your age?

tuliplander The moment I learnt they’d opened the biggest @mixmarktnl in the Netherlands, I knew exactly what our dinner plans would be. And if you ever felt homesick, I recommend that you go there for a nostalgic shopping spree ♥️

I am usually a trusted supplier of buckwheat to all my European friends, but this time they asked me to share a list of my favourite staples that I get from Eastern European shops and I thought, why not share it with my online friends here?

So if you’ve never been to Eastern European shops, here is my little shopping guide for you:

🧊Fridge section:
- Cottage cheese - if you are a dairy lover, you will enjoy this a ton!
- Sour creme - same
- Salo (salt-cured slabs of pork subcutaneous fat) - you have to pair it with the brown bread, it’s a match made in heaven
- Sauerkraut - I always go for the classic one, but this time I tried the garlic one - it’s really good
- Pickled cucumbers - I never buy these anywhere except Eastern European shops, because respectfully, these are a masterpiece
- Black/Red Caviar - come up with a reason to celebrate & treat yourself!

❄️Freezer section:
- Glazed cottage cheese bars (so many flavours but my favourite ones are with poppy seeds) - if you’ve never tried these, maybe you should keep it that way … because they are addictive. You’ve been warned
- Vareniki (dumplings) - I always get the potato and mushroom ones, perfect for those lazy post-9-to-5 evenings

🛒Shelves section:
- Buckwheat - this whole grain is a holy grail in my book - tasty and packed with nutrients
- Aubergine (or zucchini) caviar - I can’t even decide which one I love more, so get both
- Brown bread - the darker, the better

I know we have a big team of Eastern European girlies and guys here — can you help me expand this guide?
What do you usually buy in those shops? And what are your favourites?♥️
