2023 Goals
If you saw my Instagram post (@kate_shabitat) you may have seen that my New Year didn’t quite start as I wanted it to. Due to some kind of allergy, my eyes were swollen and I had a rash. Because of the swollen eyes, I had to rest my eyes and keep my screen time limited. As my word of the year is “Health” this was quite inconvenient, but on the other hand, it did emphasize the importance of it again. Not only physical health but also mental, financial, and on another level also see that my household stays in shape. However, I will need to make sure I don’t live…

Goodbye August: highlights of the last 2 weeks of the month
My dad has his birthday today, so that means that it is the last day of August. In his honor I’m starting of this post with the card I made for his birthday. I only found out after my first Craftelier haul,(www.craftelier.com) that my Silhoutte cameo is no longer compatible with Windows 10. Hence for the word “Birthday” I used the “Marianne Design Col1349 Birthday-UK” cutting die with my “love 2 craft”. The 67 is from a paint stencil bought at Action and cut out with scissors on Kraft Paper. The happy is the top of a Happy Birthday stamp. I added all this on a facemask and more Kraft…

A day at the beach
While in my last post I was eagerly awaiting the day I could put my toes in the sand, this day came earlier than expected. In Belgium every local government of a beachtown has its own rules on how they battle COVID-19: https://www.belgiancoast.co.uk/en/inspiration/measures-did-your-favourite-seaside-town-put-place. However the Dutch coast is in travel time for me a bit closer. Also their numbers for corona illnesses and deaths are better than ours (not sure if we overestimated and they did less testing). But while information panels on the side of the road still advise to not make unnecessary trips, their non-essential shops never closed. This made me think that a visit there would be…

Walking Goals
At the beginning of this year I set different exercise goals on my list to accomplish in 2020. One of them was to walk 1010 miles. You maybe ask: “How did you arrive at that number?”. Well 2020 miles sounded a bit to overwhelming and not really feasible. Hence I just divided in 2 and that comes down to about 3 miles a day. So something that should be doable. I only occasionally reach 10 000 steps a day, but on a regular work day with going to/from the car park both when leaving home and going to work I average about 6500 steps. With the occasional hike in the…

What I ate this week
I didn’t have a very active social life before this pandemic, however I thought I was doing some interesting things that I could make into a fun blogpost. It seems harder than it looks. I will try to do better the next weeks. The stress of this pandemic and the question: “Do I still have a job after this?” is weighing heavy on my mind and also literary on my body. I was all ready to start exercising again on May 11th when 2 days earlier I woke up with excruciating knee pain. This is still lingering even when doing a gentle walk for about 3 miles/5 kilometers. I stopped…
