There are countless ways to meditate.
Throughout my life, the topic kept popping up, and every time I thought: "Yeah, but how though?!" Sure, there’s a ton of information online — endless guided meditations where a soothing voice tells you exactly what to do while you just sit back and relax. Sounds easy, right? Well, in my case, I would blissfully drift off, only to be jolted awake when that calming voice suddenly started speaking again — leaving me completely confused about where I was supposed to be in the story.
At the bottom of a staircase? Hugging my inner child? Walking out of a forest (wait, was I even in a forest?)?

Still, meditation kept intriguing me.
Something deep down told me it could offer me something powerful.
Determined to finally crack the code, I decided to take a course. Because hey, learning from experts is the fastest way, right?
And of course, I didn’t start small — no, I dove straight into a pretty intense course: 10 days of Vipassana meditation.
Because... why not?
Clearly, something inside me was screaming for change.
And since I love flipping my life upside down from time to time, I thought: this will do it. I’ll come out a completely new person.
Well... let’s just say it was an experience.

I stuck it out for all 10 days, following every instruction to the letter — because if there’s one thing I’m good at, it’s following instructions like a champ.
Picture this: 50 men on the left, 50 women on the right, all meditating together in total silence.
It’s an experience I’ll never forget.
I shared a room with two other girls, and oh right — you're not allowed to talk.
For ten whole days.
Which is... strange.
How do you share experiences with your roommates? How do you say good morning or wish them goodnight?
You just don’t.
At first, it felt less like inner peace and more like... awkward silence.
But honestly, after the initial weirdness wore off, I kind of loved it.
You focus entirely on yourself, without being pulled into small talk or someone else's life story (especially the ones who only want to talk about themselves and have zero interest in you).

Speaking of self-care: the food matched the theme perfectly — healthy, healthy, and even healthier.
Which, let’s just say, wasn’t exactly my daily diet at the time.
While I was supposed to be focusing on my breathing during meditation, my thoughts often wandered... to McDonald’s fries with that irresistible sauce.

Anyway, back to the meditation itself.
You start by focusing on simple sensations, by following your breath in and out through your nose.
For hours. And more hours.
Eventually, you "expand" your awareness, scanning your entire body from head to toe, noticing every tiny sensation.
Reach the top? Start over.
The goal is to let any thoughts that arise simply drift by — no clinging, no reacting.
Sometimes I managed it.
Sometimes... not so much.
Honestly, I often found it boring and wished something more exciting would happen — because I was used to constant movement, distractions, and noise.

As the final challenge, you had to sit completely still for an hour.
That earned me a lovely injury (thankfully healed after years of therapy — yes, really).

After ten days of silence, ten hours of meditation per day, no phone, no books, no notebook (the highlight of the day was literally a walk),
I truly felt reborn.
When we were finally allowed to speak again, it actually felt strange. I missed the silence immediately.

I still remember my parents picking me up.
Trying to explain what had happened — especially what had changed inside me — proved almost impossible.
Later, my then-boyfriend picked me up. He was nursing a massive hangover, and not long after, we ended up at McDonald's.
(And yes, I was back to those fries in no time.)

After the course, the idea was to continue meditating for one hour every day to maintain the practice.
I managed exactly two days.
After that, I still understood the technique, but it didn’t give me the massive transformation I had hoped for.
Big life changes didn’t magically happen — although... a few months later, my relationship ended, and that did set a whole new course for my life.

After almost 12 years of living in Amsterdam, I decided in 2017 to pack my things and move abroad.
A leap into the unknown... and that's where the real adventure began.

A glowing complexion doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. With a few simple adjustments to your daily routine, you can achieve healthier skin naturally. These 5 free skincare tips are easy to implement and will make a noticeable difference. Read on to find out how you can start improving your skin today!

1. Hydration: Water with a twist

Hydration is the foundation of healthy skin. Drinking plenty of water keeps your skin hydrated from within. Why not make it more exciting? Add slices of orange, cucumber, or a sprig of rosemary to your water. Not only does it taste refreshing, but it’s also packed with antioxidants that nourish and protect your skin.

Bonus tip: I always start my mornings with a glass of warm water and a pinch of Celtic sea salt under my tongue. This natural salt is rich in essential minerals that promote radiant skin and give you an energetic start to the day. It is not for free, but 1 bag takes forever to empty! 

2. DIY steaming session

A steaming session is a fantastic way to cleanse your skin and unwind. Fill a bowl with hot water and add a few dried herbs, such as chamomile or lavender. Keep your face at a safe distance (about 20 cm) above the bowl and drape a towel over your head. Steam for 5 to 10 minutes to open up your pores and loosen impurities.

Extra Tip: Follow up your steaming session with a nourishing moisturizer like the Mystical Forest Face Cream. This will help your skin recover and create a protective barrier.

3. Change your pillowcase regularly

Your pillowcase can accumulate dirt, oils, and bacteria, which may lead to breakouts and irritation. By replacing your pillowcase at least once a week, you’ll keep your skin fresh and clean.

Pro Tip: Opt for a silk pillowcase! Silk reduces friction, helps retain moisture, and is gentler on your hair. A small change with a big impact on both your skin and hair health.

4. Massage your face

A daily facial massage boosts blood circulation, relaxes your muscles, and gives your skin a healthy glow. Pair this with lymphatic drainage by massaging upward towards your lymph nodes. Use your hands or tools like a gua sha stone or facial roller. For an extra cooling effect, store your roller in the fridge to reduce puffiness.

Pro Tip: Use a natural oil, such as jojoba, during the massage for added hydration and smoother skin.

5. Protect your skin from the cold

Winter winds can dry out and irritate your skin. Shield your skin by wrapping a scarf around your face when heading outdoors. Choose a soft and breathable fabric to avoid irritation.

Extra Tip: Apply a hydrating cream before going outside. The Mystical Forest Face Cream locks in moisture and creates a protective barrier against dryness. Don’t forget to apply a little lip balm to sensitive areas like the sides of your nose to prevent chapping.

 In the quest for healthy and radiant skin, many turn to the latest creams and serums that promise to reduce wrinkles, fade skin discoloration, and restore a youthful glow. I myself have fallen for these promises more than once. While these products certainly have their place in a skincare routine, it’s important to realize that true beauty comes from within. A cream alone cannot turn back the clock. A holistic approach to beauty is essential to achieve healthy, fresh skin that resists premature aging.

What does holistic beauty mean?

A holistic approach to beauty means not only viewing your skin as an isolated part of your body but as part of a larger whole. Your skin often reflects the overall health of your body and mind. That’s why it’s important to pay attention to various aspects of your lifestyle, such as nutrition, stress management, sleep, and exercise, to achieve truly radiant skin.

Nutrition: You are what you eat

You’ve probably heard it before... What you eat directly impacts the health of your skin. Food rich in antioxidants, such as fresh vegetables and fruits, helps protect your skin from damage caused by free radicals. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in oily fish like salmon, contribute to the hydration and elasticity of your skin. On the other hand, foods high in sugar and processed foods can contribute to inflammation and premature aging of the skin.

Stress: The invisible enemy

Stress has a major impact on your skin. It can lead to inflammation, a weakened immune system, and the worsening of skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Stress hormones, like cortisol, can also contribute to the breakdown of collagen, resulting in sagging and wrinkles. Regular stress management techniques such as meditation, yoga, or even a simple walk in nature can work wonders for both your mental health and your skin.

Sleep: Time for your skin to recover

Sleep is often called 'beauty sleep,' and for good reason. During sleep, your skin heals and renews itself. Lack of sleep can lead to a dull complexion, dark circles, and accelerated skin aging. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to give your skin the time it needs to recover and glow.

Exercise: The secret weapon for your skin

Regular exercise improves circulation, allowing oxygen and nutrients to better reach your skin. This helps improve skin texture and complexion and can contribute to a youthful appearance. Additionally, sweating during exercise helps remove toxins from your skin, which can lead to a clearer complexion.

The role of skincare: More than just cream

A good skincare routine is, of course, important, but it’s just one piece of the puzzle. The Mystical Forest Face Cream by Witch by Nature is a perfect example of a product that combines powerful, natural ingredients to support your skin. Let’s take a look at some of these ingredients and their role in promoting healthy skin:

• Linden Hydrosol (Tilia Vulgaris Flower Water): This ingredient is known for its soothing, revitalizing, and toning properties. It cleanses and softens the skin, making it ideal for daily care.
• Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii Butter): Rich in essential fatty acids, shea butter provides deep hydration and has anti-inflammatory and anti-aging effects. It nourishes dry skin and supports the skin's natural collagen production, helping to maintain elasticity and firmness.
• Vegeluron® Gel Eco: With its exceptional ability to retain water, this gel deeply hydrates the skin and refreshes its layers. This makes the skin visibly softer, smoother, and radiantly hydrated. It also immediately reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and is a natural alternative to hyaluronic acid.
• Hazelnut Oil (Corylus Avellana Seed Oil): This oil hydrates and softens the skin, keeping it supple and moisturized.
• Elderberry Oil (Sambucus Nigra Seed Oil): Rich in fatty acids, this oil helps reduce wrinkles, minimize inflammation, and nourish the skin. It stimulates collagen production and protects against damage from free radicals, which is essential in combating premature skin aging.
• Ronacare Balmance: This active ingredient restores skin harmony thanks to its soothing and calming properties. It reduces sensitivity to redness, roughness, and irritation, even when these are stress-related. Additionally, it helps suppress skin irritation.

These ingredients are carefully selected to work in harmony with your skin and support its natural processes. They form a powerful team that nourishes, hydrates, and protects your skin from harmful external influences.

Conclusion: The path to true beauty

True beauty goes beyond the surface. It requires a holistic approach, where you take a closer look at your entire lifestyle. By paying attention to your nutrition, stress management, sleep, exercise, and the use of high-quality skincare products like the Mystical Forest Face Cream, you can achieve healthy, radiant skin that resists the effects of premature aging. A cream can help, but the real magic happens from within. Invest in yourself, and your skin will reap the rewards

For years, I have been hearing about how food can make a big difference in how you feel, but also in how you look. Since I started Witch by Nature, I have been super interested in all the benefits nature can provide for us and how foods can help us feel better and look healthy. 

Starting my health journey gave me a lot of challenges. Figuring out where to start and developing new habits isn’t something that comes overnight. I always kind of knew what was healthy and what was not, but I just liked easy and fast "unhealthy" foods better. Feeling bad made me eat poorly, and eating poorly made me feel bad.
