Fashion Revolution Week is a movement demanding more transparency and better conditions for garment workers across the globe. The fashion industry is exploitative and dirty. Research by the International Trade Union Organisation shows that respect for workers rights in supply chains is declining. Yet everybody wears clothes, so it’s up to everyone to solve this problem including me and you. I want the money I spend on what I wear to make a positive difference, not contribute to exploitation and environmental degradation. I want the people who make the clothes I wear to have decent jobs, to be able to access their fundamental human rights and to make a living wage, no matter where in the world they live... Do you agree with me?⠀ Dress from @jannjune and bag from @matt_and_nat #whomademyclothes @fash_rev ⠀ Picture by @lensinkmitchel
On April 24th of 2013, the Rana Plaza building in Bangladesh collapsed. 1,138 people died and another 2,500 were injured, making it the fourth largest industrial disaster in history. There were five garment factories in Rana Plaza all manufacturing clothing for the western market. The victims were mostly young women... ⠀ Five years after and not enough has changed since that tragedy. About 75 million people work in the fashion and textiles industry, and about 80% of them are women. Many are subject to exploitation; verbal and physical abuse, working in unsafe conditions, with very little pay. ⠀ As consumers, our questions, our voices, our shopping habits have the power to help change things for the better. We are the driver of trends, and every time we buy something, we’re voting with our wallet. When we speak, brands listen. We deserve to know who makes our clothes and under what conditions.⠀ Let's ask our favorite brands #whomademyclothes. Join me and together let’s make this Fashion Revolution bigger than ever. ⠀ My outfit: The yellow t-shirt from @stradivarius (I got it on a swap party), the pants from @matterprints and the shoes from @adidas (also second hand) #whomademyclothes ? @fash_rev @fash_revnld
🧔🏻👩🏻👧🏻🐶 Family time! We tried to enjoy the sun and go to the market but it didn’t work out. Too crowded, too warm, too much. We still had a chill Saturday at home. How was your day? 💫 Picture by @marisaelisa.jpg
After thirteen hours of intensive pain, panic and dispair, I still had one more job: to push as hard as I could. I was feeling so weak and scared that I thought I couldn’t do it. But thanks to my hubby, midwife and nurse I got coached and encouraged to push ‘just one more time’. After 45 minutes of pushing ‘just-one-last-times’, my baby came out. Since then I’m holding her cute little hand. For sure I will never let go of. #babygirl #babylove #babyphoto ⠀ Picture @marisaelisa.jpg
Here is the reason for my absence on the gram: Luna Zomer Simmonds. 3,2 kg - 48 cm. The post-partum time is harder than I thought. Pads in my undies, pads in my bras, pain everywhere... But it's all worth it for those big blue eyes looking at me with so much love and cuteness. After five weeks, I still can’t believe that she came out of me. Can I call myself a superwoman now?

A deodorant that comes in a cardboard tube, a bra made of bamboo... Last month I tried five new green products 🌿. Check them out on the blog now. Which one did you know already?⠀ Picture by @lensinkmitchel
Doe jij mee aan de Nationale Week Zonder Vlees? Dit is heel erg makkelijk. Mij lukt het al anderhalf jaar! Waarom meedoen? Wat heeft een week zonder vlees voor een effect? Je zou het misschien niet denken, maar door een week geen vlees te eten bespaar je:⠀ 7 maanden douchewater, 114 kilometer autorijden, 1 hele blije kip, 7 maanden werk voor een boom... Meer info: @weekzondervlees ⠀ What should I eat then!? No panic! I made a Pinterest board with the easiest and tastiest vegan recipes for you to try this week. They are all in Dutch. Follow the board via the link in my bio. You don't have excuses now 😬. Happy vegan week🐥🐮🐷🐔🦆!⠀ Picture by @anoukfotografeert
Today I’m thankful that I got to sit in the sun for half an hour ☀️. It’s so refreshing to feel the heat in my face and body after so many cold days. What are you thankful for today?⠀ Picture by @lensinkmitchel
I took Luna's stroller and diaper bag for a test ride (I'm still pregnant and waiting for her ☺️😊😉). Check this outfit now on the blog. P.S.: What products do you always have in your diaper bag? Which ones you can't live without? Let me know in the comments below.⠀ Picture by @marisaelisa.jpg
