Anna and I have been friends for years, I&#8217;ve been following her projects since the very beginning and I&#8217;m very excited to see where we can take BABOUSHKA with our joint effort. As Anna&#8217;s right hand man, I&#8217;ll be supporting her in all endeavors and helping her scale BABOUSHKA to bring you more FOOD, CULTURE &amp; CONVERSATION. I&#8217;ll be working more in the background, specifically on project management and administrative tasks, but don&#8217;t be surprised to see me pop up on your feed from time to time or assisting

out - which included a recipe, some thoughts, an updated playlist, some podcasts I&#8217;ve listened to, videos I&#8217;d watched which kept me motivated, updates on BABOUSHKA, updates on my life - in English AND in French - although&#8230;nice - was <em><strong>not</strong></em> sustainable &amp; frankly&#8230;quite overwhelming.</p><p><strong>SHOCK</strong><em>&#8230;I know.</em></p><p>SO&#8230;after some long contemplation - I&#8217;ve decided to go back to the essence of <em><strong>&#8220;why?&#8221; </strong></em>I started this newsletter in the first place. Trimming the process down to the very <em>basics</em> - which is that outside of sharing ideas, thoughts, inspiration or the process of what I do with an audience - I started this newsletter because <strong>I love writing.</strong></p><p>It&#8217;s something I&#8217;ve always done since young, whenever I&#8217;ve felt an impulse to express my creativity. Writing with doodles for myself has always felt therapeutic, whether it be in my diaries, notebooks, sketchbooks or napkins in restaurants - sometimes even on thick, layered &amp; falling paint on desolate walls or recycled cardboard mislain in the most random places. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

burnout</strong></em><strong>.</strong></p><p>After working like a literal dog for months on end without taking a break, I hit a wall. I quickly realised a few months ago that I had accepted too much, too quickly professionally - which left me no time for myself, let alone time to sit down and write this newsletter. </p><p>No time for self care - mental or physical (I usually go boxing &amp; gym 3-5 times a week&#8230;I&#8217;d be lying if I said I&#8217;d stepped foot in a gym a handful of times over the last few months). </p><p>No time to be alone by myself and reflect - to journal, meditate or even draw or be creative <strong>for myself </strong><em>and away from the gaze of others</em>. No time to rest and allow space to breathe between projects - <em>meaning actually having the right energy to be creative and produce better work.</em></p><p>Speaking with friends and fellow workers, I think this tends to be the norm for young, independent creatives like myself who are in the midst of building a business or personal brand - or in my case, <em>both</em>. It seems to me that so many of us feel like we&#8217;re always in a constant loop - stuck between &#8220;creator&#8221; mode,  &#8220;business&#8221; mode and &#8220;human&#8221; mode.</p><p>I share this because I&#8217;ve decided to take my experience over the last few months as a lesson - let my ego down and really face the reality that I am in charge of making a change and moving forward in a healthier way. And who knows, maybe part of me hopes that it may encourages you to also pause and reflect on the patterns in your life that may be keeping you stuck.</p><p>I&#8217;ve realised that despite all the amazing projects I&#8217;ve done and all the great work I&#8217;ve produced this year - I lacked self-respect in not listening to my mind and body&#8217;s needs when they were clearly screaming for help.</p><p>Recently, in conversation about where I&#8217;m at with my dad - he&#8217;s been repeating this quote to me (over and over again) from Einstein :</p><p>&#8220;<strong>Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.&#8221;</strong></p><p>And he&#8217;s right <em>(oui Papa, t&#8217;as raison)</em> - I&#8217;ve been stuck in the same patterns thinking I need to just hold on and THEN things will change&#8230;but I wasn&#8217;t actually facing the reality that <strong>I am in control &amp; I need to be the one to act </strong>in order for my reality to get better<strong>.</strong></p><p>So, after finishing up a huge production a few weeks ago, I&#8217;ve finally had time to think about how I can make changes in my approach to BABOUSHKA and scale the project in a way that&#8217;s more sustainable - without neglecting my physical and mental along the way.</p><p>And&#8230;I can confidently say that it has led me to some <em><strong>very exciting</strong></em> news&#8230;which I&#8217;ll share in the next newsletter (I think I&#8217;ve gone on for long enough).</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

which I neglected to keep you informed about on here&#8230;sorry not sorry) <em><strong>- &amp; you can scroll all the way down for the arancini recipe</strong></em>:</p><ul><li><p>Catered a PFW event at the beginning of the year for a Fashion designer Jae Studios, who came over from China to showcase his new collection centered around the theme of medieval times, with a lot of metal detailing. I was called upon by a Paris-based PR company who wanted me to match the collection&#8217;s aesthetic using food design - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DF4--HiIoS_/?img_index=1">here</a></p></li><li><p>Went to Lisboa &amp; held BABOUSHKA&#8217;s very first culinary experience centred around food, music, art &amp; wine. It was a great success - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGVwSQ1MiII/">here</a></p></li><li><p>Collaborated with a beautiful florist Mimi from L&#8217;Orangerie in Lisboa. We create gorgeous imagery for future projects we&#8217;re working on together, mixing our expertise in floral &amp; food design - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DJPVSd6sGoC/?img_index=1">here</a></p></li><li><p>I went to Algeria for the first time! My <em>grand-m&#232;re de coeur </em>(as we say in French to describe a &#8220;heart-grandma&#8221;) Yamina is Algerian &amp; adopted me as her own after my grandma on my mother&#8217;s side passed away. She&#8217;s the one who&#8217;s taught me the most about North African culture (food included&#8230;obviously) &amp; the importance of connection and openness - this was a special one - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DGsP10qs15B/?img_index=1">here</a></p></li><li><p>I was contacted by AIRBNB to be one of their first Originals Experiences hosts in Paris. I&#8217;ve had the pleasure of collaborating with Airbnb for over a year now to create an Experience centred around my practice as a food designer and private chef using BUTTER - <a href="https://www.airbnb.fr/experiences/5729253?_set_bev_on_new_domain=1739261788_EANDJmMDE3YTQ0MW">here</a></p></li><li><p>Got interviewed by a sweet creative friend of mine Ludovic to talk about my butter workshops &amp; BABOUSHKA - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DLaCnf7opsf/">here</a></p></li><li><p>I did a very special birthday catering under BABOUSHKA for a designer at Louis Vuitton in the beautiful brutalist space in Paris <em>Lucid Interval</em> - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DIBGMj1Mg4S/?img_index=1">here</a></p></li><li><p>I went to feed the crew working on my friend Zach&#8217;s short-film set in the French countryside (not BABOUSHKA, just wanted to help a friend out &amp; get out of Paris for a bit) - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DI6UoZuMUME/?img_index=1">here</a></p></li><li><p>Celebrated by 27th birthday! I invited a bunch of friends to hang out aux Buttes Chaumont - the only decent place in Paris where you can be surrounded by nature without feeling like you&#8217;re still in the city (God I miss the countryside). I was so grateful to see so many of my friends coming together to just chill for a bit (<em>note to self&#8230;you need to chill more with friends</em>). I was so tired that I went home at midnight after drinking one too many ginger beers (still not drinking alcohol after a year and a half &amp; it&#8217;s changed my life, highly recommend) - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DJHA-4QsQd0/?img_index=1">here</a></p></li><li><p>Cooked in a gorgeous French chateau in the North of France for a photography retreat, surrounded by a very lovely group of very open and sensitive people. It was so much fun because the only brief I was given was &#8220;we just want some sort of French cooking with a twist&#8221; &#8230;so, bob&#8217;s your uncle! I grabbed my grandma&#8217;s French cookbook from 1979 and cooked classic French recipes with a BABOUSHKA twist&#8230;poulet &#224; la moutarde, boeuf bourguignon, stuffed peppers, roasted caramelised pear and mascarpone cream pavlova&#8230; - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DMmgKy4q6dt/">here</a></p></li><li><p>Went viral on Instagram whilst cooking in this gorgeous chateau &amp; hit upwards of 10K+ followers!!! Very exciting, and very fun - this social media thing isn&#8217;t so difficult after all&#8230;after a few years trying to find my niche content strategy, I think I&#8217;ve now understood how it works - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DJbQWQrsAhK/">here</a></p></li><li><p>Went to London &amp; hosted our very first supperclub <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hazbabz/">HAZBABZ </a> - a collaborative project we&#8217;ve started under BABOUSHKA with a wonderful friend and chef <a href="https://www.instagram.com/harrietsplates/">Harriet</a> &amp; with tablescape design by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wearemasa_/">MASA</a>! The theme was &#8220;Eat your <em>(spring) </em>Greens&#8221; hosted at Green Place Studios - can you guess what colour the food was? - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ6uEW6iNbj/?img_index=1">here</a></p></li><li><p>Was featured in an AMI Paris x IFM master&#8217;s student magazine alongside some really talented people in Paris&#8217;s creative scene - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DKhIZM7IcsM/?img_index=1">here</a></p></li><li><p>Went to Portugal again to run BABOUSHKA&#8217;s food stand in collaboration with Berlin-based label Giegling at Waking Life Festival for the 3rd year in a row. We had 45 volunteers &amp; 5 managers under my direction, serving mediterranean style tacos, quesadillas &amp; vegan bricks - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DLTBjtWMv4f/?img_index=1">here</a> </p></li><li><p>After the festival, I decided to take a car and solo road-trip between Lisbon &amp; Porto to take a bit of a breather after such an intense work period at the festival and source some silverware and fabrics - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DLdGoP5MHiH/?img_index=1">here</a> </p></li><li><p>Did my first branded content on Instagram for a gorgeous brand KABAS who create isothermal &amp; waterproof bags - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DLpf_LkoTv8/">here</a></p></li><li><p>Catered for a small Celine shoot - brunch for the team working on it during PFW, as well as Robert Wun&#8217;s Haute-Couture show in Paris - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17868007680333592/">here</a></p></li><li><p>Catered for and helped produce a huge 160 person wedding in the south of France for a lovely couple Lena &amp; Pol. The whole prep was done in France and driven down in a refrigerated van down to the south for the wedding - it was a very intense operation but also very fulfilling - <a

whatever flavour profile your rice has for optimal taste-in-mouth happiness)</p></li></ul><h4>What you&#8217;ll need for your coating</h4><ul><li><p>65g plain flour</p></li><li><p>A pinch of salt</p></li><li><p>Black pepper (to taste)</p></li><li><p>2 eggs</p></li><li><p>100 g panko breadcrumbs '(or homemade breadcrumbs made from stale bread - living in France, it&#8217;s so easy to buy a couple fresh baguettes from a boulangerie, let them sit out for a few days till they go hard then blitz them roughly to make your own)</p></li><li><p>Cooking oil (vegetable oil) &#8211; for frying or as needed (roughly 500 ml)</p></li></ul><h4>STEP-BY-STEP</h4><p>To  prepare your coating, you&#8217;ll need 3 bowls -</p><ul><li><p>In your first bowl - mix flour, salt and pepper</p></li><li><p>In your second bowl - beat your eggs</p></li><li><p>In your third bowl - add your panko or homemade breadcrumbs</p></li></ul><p>To make a rice ball -</p><ul><li><p>Measure out 1 tsp worth of cheese</p></li><li><p>Measure out about an ice cream scoop worth of rice</p></li><li><p>Using your rice, envelop your cheese so that it sits in the middle <em>(this makes it go all soft and creamy with every bite once fried, it&#8217;s delicious) </em>and roll into a ball.</p></li><li><p>Using your three coating bowls, roll your rice balls in flour, then in egg mixture, then finish by coating in panko - make sure to press well to get an even coat.</p></li><li><p>Repeat with remaining mixture.</p></li></ul><p>To cook -</p><ul><li><p>In a medium saucepan, pour in your oil and heat over med-high heat.</p></li><li><p>Toss in a breadcrumb and if it starts sizzling immediately - <em>it&#8217;s go time</em></p></li><li><p>Carefully transfer a few balls into the hot oil, using a spoon, making sure to turn frequently so they cook golden evenly</p></li><li><p>Once they are a deep golden brown, remove onto a paper towel lined plate to drain.</p></li><li><p>Repeat with remaining

I&#8217;ve decided that this newsletter will go out whenever I have the time to properly sit down, write things down and then send it - you&#8217;ll still receive it fairly regularly, but I think I&#8217;ll be more spontaneous with it. </strong></h4><h4><strong>That way I don&#8217;t feel overwhelmed with letting you guys &#8220;down&#8221; by saying I&#8217;ll send it on a fixed schedule and it means I also respect that I have my limits as a person and sometimes can&#8217;t manage to stick to certain things&#8230;because well, life.</strong></h4><h4><strong>One day, I hope to have someone working with me in order to make all these tasks more manageable, and allow such things (like this newsletter) to be sent out more regularly, but right now - I&#8217;m completely independent with everything I do, so this will have to do.</strong></h4><h4><strong>I also initially started writing this newsletter because I love writing, and want it to be something that I always end up doing for fun - I know that the moment I start seeing it as a chore, they&#8217;ll get boring anyway and you guys will switch off.</strong></h4><h4><strong>Anyway, that being said - I have a lot of exciting news to share:</strong></h4><div><hr></div><h3>BABOUSHKA WILL BE AT <a href="https://wakinglife.pt/">WAKING LIFE FESTIVAL</a> IN PORTUGAL THIS SUMMER!</h3><div

been above anything I could have ever imagined. </strong></h4><h4><strong>In just 15 days of posting a video a day on Instagram, the following has happened: </strong></h4><h4><strong>- I&#8217;ve reached almost 40,000 accounts - this doesn&#8217;t count the other almost 20,000 accounts that have been reached on BABOUSHKA&#8217;s Instagram account during the same period of time. This amounts to a HUGE almost-60,000 accounts reached in just 15 days. (For information - my reach before posting like this was at just over 2000 accounts&#8230;over ONE month).</strong></h4><h4><strong>- I&#8217;ve received about a dozen emails from clients who found me through Instagram and who wish to either work with me, collaborate with me or send me gifts.</strong></h4><h4><strong>- I&#8217;ve received a few messages from people who recently found me to let me know of some interesting creative food events happening </strong></h4><h4><strong>- &amp; most importantly&#8230;I&#8217;ve received a truck full of messages of support and love for what I&#8217;m doing, telling me that it&#8217;s been inspiring for them &amp; that it&#8217;s pushing them slowly to get out of their heads too.</strong></h4><h4><strong>I wanted to say this because for me - the only real reason holding me back from posting and being as vulnerable as I have been over the last few weeks, was that I was anxious about all the things that could go wrong.</strong></h4><h4>It's taken me a lot of mental strength and questioning to push past the barriers I had and have in my head. It's really tough having to post myself being this open to such a large audience that is the internet. Almost every single creative friend I speak to has or has had the same anxieties at one point.</h4><h4>But I've realised that in order for me to get BABOUSHKA to where I want it to go - I needed to put myself forward in one way or another. And this is what felt the most genuine.</h4><h4>So after finally taking the jump - I decided to do it and as you can see from all the points I made above - I definitely don&#8217;t regret it, and I&#8217;m really excited to see what more can come from it after another 15 days.</h4><h4>So&#8230;on that note - if you feel anxious about doing something because all you can think about is all that could go wrong - just do it anyway. The worse thing that can happen is it flops, and all you need to do if it does is get back up and start again till you get good at whatever it is that you&#8217;re willing to do. There&#8217;s power in getting out of your head and going after what you belive in :) !</h4><div><hr></div><h3>A REMINDER:</h3><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

shoot the first episode of BABOUSHKA&#8217;s new conversation series with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cholepolki/">Chloe Polkinghorne</a> - a very good friend of mine who&#8217;s an incredibly talented photographer and videographer. Well&#8230;we shot the conversation, the whole concept will be made clear soon, and it&#8217;s currently in its&#8217; phase of post-production. IT&#8217;S LOOKING SO GOOD &amp; I am SO proud of what we&#8217;ve made so far.</strong></h4><h4><strong>The new episode will come out nearing the end of the month&#8230;just after the 30 day challenge has been finished&#8230;and right around my birthday&#8230;that&#8217;s all you need to know for now.</strong></h4><h4><strong>Thanks for taking the time to read this far &amp;

I&#8217;ve been feeling super grateful for a while now, I hope you have been too. Wanting to start this newsletter with some positivity, if you&#8217;re reading this, take the time to write down a few things you&#8217;re grateful for, no matter how insignificant it may be. I&#8217;ll start - <strong>this week I&#8217;m grateful for all the creative projects I&#8217;m working on, for my health, for my family, for the motivation I have to keep grinding and for all the beautiful people surrounding me. </strong></h4><h4><strong>Now, let&#8217;s get down to business - BABOUSHKA has been busy these last couple of weeks! </strong>In honour of International Women&#8217;s History Month, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dicefm/">DICE</a> decided to call upon Women/Femme owned businesses for a series of breakfasts across their offices this week. And&#8230;I&#8217;m very grateful to have had the opportunity to cater for their <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dicefrance/">@dicefrance</a> office in Paris! The team was really sweet and having used their app personally for years now, it&#8217;s kinda cool to be involved with the brand directly, especially for such an occasion.</h4><h4><strong>On top of this, I catered for a few private dinners and had the pleasure of delivering our much-requested koftas (you can see what I&#8217;m talking about <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C4AzAhNrrT0/">here</a>) for one of my clients, who loved them so much when I cooked them for her and her guests a couple of weeks ago, that she wanted them again! *Does happy dance*</strong></h4><h4><strong>I also did a tasting for a very disruptive, very influencial fashion brand I&#8217;ve been insanely keen to work with for a while (and that I will not name for now), and got some really, really good feedback. Let&#8217;s cross fingers and toes and see if this leads to BABOUSHKA delivering food for their showroom. (Of course, if I get the job - you will be the first to know). </strong></h4><h4><strong>The reason I&#8217;m sharing this is because I always find it really interesting to know the ins and outs of how businesses work - especially as an independent. And, maybe sharing this might interest some of you in the same way, who knows. Before I started my own business, I always thought there were specific codes that people needed to follow in order to get so-and-so to talk to them or that you&#8217;d need a certain &#8220;social&#8221; status or do things a certain way in order to be taken &#8220;seriously&#8221;&#8230; but almost 18 months down the line and I&#8217;ve realised - </strong><em><strong>there are literally no rules</strong></em><strong>.</strong></h4><h4>Read that again</h4><h4>THERE ARE LITERALLY NO RULES.</h4><h4><strong>The only thing I&#8217;ve come to find out is - &#8220;don&#8217;t ask and you won&#8217;t get&#8221; - and that is EXACTLY what I did to get this tasting. I won&#8217;t say more for now, but if the job gets confirmed, I&#8217;ll explain the full context and will give you the backstory of this likkle-bit crazy opportunity. All I can say is that just the fact I was able to do a tasting with this brand is HUGE for BABOUSHKA, and even if it doesn&#8217;t amount to anything for now, I&#8217;m still hyped that I got this opportunity. </strong></h4><h4><strong>I&#8217;m also very hyped (and this stays between us) because next week I&#8217;ll be shooting the first &#8220;episode&#8221; of the new BABOUSHKA interview series&#8230;remember I said a few weeks back I was working on something with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cholepolki/">Chloe Polkinghorne</a> (for those who read till the end)? Well, the planning and brainstorming has been ongoing for a few months now and we&#8217;re now ready to shoot. &#8220;Stay tuned&#8221; for what&#8217;s yet to come&#8230;2024 has been MAD so far. Really appreciate you all for coming along on this journey with me, I promise a lot more exciting things in the coming months. It won&#8217;t dissapoint :)</strong></h4><h4><strong>What&#8217;s something you&#8217;d like to know about BABOUSHKA that I haven&#8217;t mentioned before?</strong></h4><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://baboushka.substack.com/p/international-womens-day/comments&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Leave a comment&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://baboushka.substack.com/p/international-womens-day/comments"><span>Leave a comment</span></a></p><h4>Enjoy the recipe below &amp; speak soon!</h4><div><hr></div><h2>FRITTATA WITH MUSHROOMS, LEEKS &amp; FETA</h2><h4>Whenever I think of a frittata, I think of that scene in Morning Glory where Harrison Ford makes a frittata on morning television to apologise to Rachel McAdam&#8217;s character. <br><br>What&#8217;s great about making frittatas is that they&#8217;re super easy and you can pretty much add anything you want to them.

Je me sens super reconnaissante depuis un gros moment maintenant, j'esp&#232;re que vous aussi. J'ai envie de commencer cette newsletter avec une dose de positivit&#233;. Si tu lis ceci, prends le temps d'&#233;crire quelques choses pour lesquelles tu es reconnaissant(e), peu importe &#224; quel point cela peut sembler insignifiant. Je commence - cette semaine, je suis reconnaissante pour tous les projets cr&#233;atifs sur lesquels je travaille, pour ma sant&#233;, pour ma famille, pour la motivation qui m'anime &#224; continuer &#224; m'investir dans BABOUSHKA, et pour toutes les belles &#226;mes qui m'entourent.</strong></h4><h4>Maintenant, passons aux choses s&#233;rieuses - BABOUSHKA a &#233;t&#233; occup&#233;e ces derni&#232;res semaines ! En l'honneur du Mois de l'histoire des femmes, DICE a d&#233;cid&#233; de faire appel &#224; des entreprises d&#233;tenues par des femmes pour une s&#233;rie de petits-d&#233;jeuners dans leurs bureaux cette semaine. Et... je suis tr&#232;s reconnaissante d'avoir eu l'opportunit&#233; de fournir les repas pour leur bureau <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dicefrance/">@dicefrance</a> &#224; Paris ! L'&#233;quipe &#233;tait vraiment cool, et ayant utilis&#233;e leur application personnellement depuis des ann&#233;es, c'est plut&#244;t cool de collaborer directement avec la marque, surtout pour une telle occasion.</h4><h4>En plus de cela, j'ai assur&#233; la restauration pour quelques d&#238;ners priv&#233;s et j'ai eu le plaisir de livrer nos koftas tant demand&#233;s (vous pouvez voir de quoi je parle <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C4AzAhNrrT0/">ici</a>) pour l'un de mes clients. Il les a tellement aim&#233;s lorsque je les ai cuisin&#233;s pour elle et ses invit&#233;s il y a quelques semaines, qu'elle les voulait &#224; nouveau ! *Fait une petite danse de joie*</h4><h4>J'ai &#233;galement r&#233;alis&#233; une d&#233;gustation pour une marque de mode tr&#232;s perturbatrice et tr&#232;s influente avec laquelle j'avais une envie folle de travailler depuis un moment (et que je ne nommerai pas pour l'instant). J'ai re&#231;u des retours vraiment tr&#232;s positifs. Croisons les doigts et les orteils pour voir si cela aboutira &#224; BABOUSHKA fournissant de la nourriture pour leur showroom. (Bien s&#251;r, si j'obtiens le contrat, vous serez les premiers &#224; le savoir).</h4><h4>La raison pour laquelle je partage cela, c'est parce que je trouve toujours tr&#232;s int&#233;ressant de conna&#238;tre les tenants et aboutissants du fonctionnement des entreprises, surtout en tant qu'ind&#233;pendante. Et peut-&#234;tre que partager cela pourrait int&#233;resser certains d'entre vous de la m&#234;me mani&#232;re, qui sait. Avant de cr&#233;er ma propre entreprise, je pensais toujours qu'il y avait des codes sp&#233;cifiques &#224; suivre pour que telle ou telle personne vous parle, ou qu'il vous fallait un certain "statut social" ou faire les choses d'une certaine mani&#232;re pour &#234;tre pris "au s&#233;rieux"... mais pr&#232;s de 18 mois plus tard, j'ai r&#233;alis&#233; - <em>il n'y a litt&#233;ralement aucune r&#232;gle</em>.</h4><h4>Relisez&#8230;</h4><h4>IL N'Y A LITT&#201;RALEMENT AUCUNE R&#200;GLE.</h4><h4>La seule chose que j'ai fini par d&#233;couvrir, c'est "si tu ne demandes pas, tu ne recevras pas", et c'est EXACTEMENT ce que j'ai fait pour obtenir cette d&#233;gustation. Je n'en dirai pas plus pour le moment, mais si le contrat se confirme, j'expliquerai tout le contexte et je vous donnerai l'histoire de cette opportunit&#233; un peu folle. Tout ce que je peux dire, c'est que le simple fait d'avoir pu faire une d&#233;gustation avec cette marque est &#201;NORME pour BABOUSHKA, et m&#234;me si cela n'aboutit &#224; rien pour le moment, je suis toujours super excit&#233;e d'avoir eu cette opportunit&#233;.</h4><h4>Je suis &#233;galement tr&#232;s heureuse (et cela reste entre nous) parce que la semaine prochaine, je tournerai le premier "&#233;pisode" de la nouvelle s&#233;rie d'interviews BABOUSHKA...vous vous souvenez que j'ai mentionn&#233; il y a quelques semaines que je travaillais sur quelque chose avec <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cholepolki/">Chloe Polkinghorne</a> (pour ceux qui lisent jusqu'au bout) ? Eh bien, la planification et le brainstorming sont en cours depuis quelques mois maintenant, et nous sommes pr&#234;tes &#224; tourner. "Restez &#224; l'&#233;coute" pour ce qui est encore &#224; venir... 2024 est FOU jusqu'&#224; pr&#233;sent. Je vous appr&#233;cie vraiment beaucoup de m'accompagner dans cette aventure, je promets beaucoup plus de choses passionnantes dans les mois &#224; venir. &#199;a ne d&#233;cevra pas :)</h4><h4>Quelque chose que vous aimeriez savoir sur BABOUSHKA que je n'ai pas mentionn&#233; auparavant ?</h4><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://baboushka.substack.com/p/international-womens-day/comments&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Laissez un commentaire&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://baboushka.substack.com/p/international-womens-day/comments"><span>Laissez un commentaire</span></a></p><h4>Profitez de la recette ci-dessous et &#224; bient&#244;t&nbsp;!</h4><div><hr></div><h3>FRITTATA AUX CHAMPIGNONS, POIREAUX ET F&#201;TA</h3><h4>Chaque fois que je pense &#224; une frittata, je me souviens de cette sc&#232;ne dans "Morning Glory" o&#249; Harrison Ford pr&#233;pare une frittata &#224; la t&#233;l&#233;vision du matin pour s'excuser aupr&#232;s du personnage de Rachel McAdams. </h4><h4>Ce qui est g&#233;nial avec les frittatas, c'est qu'elles sont super faciles &#224; pr&#233;parer et vous pouvez ajouter &#224; peu pr&#232;s tout ce que vous voulez.

my very dear friend who I met and worked with at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Ctb3JXpIWGX/">Waking Life Festival</a> in Portugal last year. As you can see on the collage above, Sufra centers around sharing the flavours of the Levant region, and preserving it&#8217;s heritage. Ayed being Palestinian, and his partner Kevin being Lebanese, I can tell you that the food was full of flavour and tenderness; and of course, made with a lot of love and care. </strong><em><strong>(Ayed, if you&#8217;re reading this, your Fattoush salad was one of the best I&#8217;ve tried to date, thanks again for this experience!)</strong></em></h4><h4>The food was accompanied by a very ambiant DJ set in a low-lit room, where everyone sat on the floor on comfortable pillows, enjoying conversation and the meditative sounds and smells surrounding us. There must have been 100-120 of us there. The meal, served in 4 parts was followed by a piano solo performance by none other than the legend <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kamaalwilliams/">Kamaal Williams</a>. Knowing only Ayed at the event, I needed to make friends &amp; that&#8217;s when I met and made a beautiful connection with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tisskeen/">Astan KA</a>, an incredibly talented artist from France with Malian heritage, who&#8217;s based in Berlin. We ended up spending the whole night together along with Kamaal &amp; Ayed, talking until the early hours of the morning. </h4><h4>This experience really highlighted to me the power of connection through food and culture (which you all know is what BABOUSHKA intends to put forward). By going into it completely blindly and by letting go of any type of expectation I had for the night ahead, it allowed me to be transported through the experience in total and utter presence. The power of these experiences not only helps to bring people together, but it allows us to connect to one another on a deeper level.</h4><h4><em>Who knows, maybe a Sufra x BABOUSHKA experience will be held one day ;)</em></h4><h4>Taking a break from Paris after such an intense few weeks to just see friends, disconnect to the busyness of life and reconnect to enjoyment, conversations and new experiences felt needed. It&#8217;s the first trip I&#8217;ve done in a long time where I forced myself not to take my laptop. </h4><h4>Moral of the story - take breaks when you can, learn to pause every once in a while, and I promise you, you&#8217;ll come back charged up with new creativity, ideas and energy (at least that&#8217;s how I feel right now).</h4><div><hr></div><h4>That&#8217;s all I feel I have to say for now, as for BABOUSHKA - I&#8217;ve decided to stay quiet for now on our movements, but just because I&#8217;m keeping hush hush for now, doesn&#8217;t mean I&#8217;m not still working on some VERY exciting projects that will be out soon!</h4><h4>What are you working on right now?</h4><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://baboushka.substack.com/p/a-trip-to-berlin-for-a-private-dining/comments&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Leave a comment&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://baboushka.substack.com/p/a-trip-to-berlin-for-a-private-dining/comments"><span>Leave a comment</span></a></p><h4>Enjoy the recipe below &amp;

&#224; Berlin pour une exp&#233;rience culinaire priv&#233;e de <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sufra.berlin/">Sufra</a>, la marque fond&#233;e par mon tr&#232;s cher ami Ayed que j'ai rencontr&#233; et avec qui j'ai travaill&#233; au festival <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Ctb3JXpIWGX/">Waking Life</a> au Portugal l'ann&#233;e derni&#232;re. Comme vous pouvez le voir sur le collage ci-dessus, Sufra met l'accent sur le partage des saveurs de la r&#233;gion du Levant et la pr&#233;servation de son patrimoine. Ayed &#233;tant Palestinien et son partenaire Kevin &#233;tant Libanais, je peux vous dire que la nourriture &#233;tait pleine de saveurs et de tendresse ; et bien s&#251;r, pr&#233;par&#233;e avec beaucoup d'amour et d'attention. (Ayed, si tu lis ceci, ta salade Fattoush &#233;tait l'une des meilleures que j'ai essay&#233;es jusqu'&#224; pr&#233;sent, merci encore pour cette exp&#233;rience !)</strong></h4><h4>La nourriture &#233;tait accompagn&#233;e d'un ensemble DJ tr&#232;s ambiant dans une pi&#232;ce faiblement &#233;clair&#233;e, o&#249; tout le monde &#233;tait assis par terre sur des coussins confortables, appr&#233;ciant la conversation et les sons m&#233;ditatifs et les odeurs qui nous entouraient. Nous devions &#234;tre environ 100-120 personnes. Le repas, servi en 4 parties, a &#233;t&#233; suivi d'une performance solo au piano par rien de moins que la l&#233;gende <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kamaalwilliams/">Kamaal Williams</a>. Ne connaissant que Ayed &#224; l'&#233;v&#233;nement, j'ai d&#251; me faire des amis, et c'est l&#224; que j'ai rencontr&#233; et &#233;tabli une belle connexion avec <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tisskeen/">Astan KA</a>, une artiste incroyablement talentueuse n&#233;e en France, avec des origines maliennes, bas&#233; &#224; Berlin. Nous avons fini par passer toute la nuit ensemble avec Kamaal et Ayed, discutant jusqu'aux premi&#232;res heures du matin.</h4><h4>Cette exp&#233;rience a vraiment mis en &#233;vidence pour moi la puissance de la connexion &#224; travers la nourriture et la culture (ce que BABOUSHKA a l'intention de mettre en avant). En y allant compl&#232;tement &#224; l'aveuglette et en laissant tomber toutes les attentes que j'aurais pu avoir pour la soir&#233;e &#224; venir, cela m'a permis d'&#234;tre transport&#233; &#224; travers l'exp&#233;rience en totale et compl&#232;te pr&#233;sence. Le pouvoir de ces exp&#233;riences non seulement aide &#224; rassembler les gens, mais elles nous permettent de nous connecter les uns aux autres d&#8217;une fa&#231;on plus profonde.</h4><h4><em>Qui sait, peut-&#234;tre qu'un jour une exp&#233;rience Sufra x BABOUSHKA sera organis&#233;e ;)</em></h4><h4>Faire une pause de Paris apr&#232;s quelques semaines aussi intenses pour simplement voir des amis, se d&#233;connecter de l'agitation de la vie et se reconnecter &#224; la joie, aux conversations et aux nouvelles exp&#233;riences semblait n&#233;cessaire. C'est le premier voyage que j'ai fait depuis longtemps o&#249; je me suis forc&#233;e &#224; ne pas prendre mon ordinateur, et &#231;a m&#8217;a fait un plus grand bien.</h4><h4>Moral de l'histoire : prenez des pauses quand vous le pouvez, apprenez &#224; respirer et rester pr&#233;sent de temps en temps, et je vous promets, vous reviendrez charg&#233; de cr&#233;ativit&#233;, d'id&#233;es et d'&#233;nergie nouvelle (du moins, c'est ainsi que je me sens en ce moment).</h4><div><hr></div><h4>C'est tout ce que j'ai &#224; dire pour le moment. En ce qui concerne BABOUSHKA, j'ai d&#233;cid&#233; de rester silencieuse pour le moment sur nos projets, mais juste parce que je garde tout secret pour le moment, cela ne signifie pas que je ne

permettent de faire partie de leurs projets et de voir le potentiel de BABOUSHKA. En tant que personne &#233;voluant dans le domaine cr&#233;atif - dans une ville comme Paris - qui est tr&#232;s comp&#233;titive et la plupart du temps, assez &#233;crasante - c'est vraiment agr&#233;able de pouvoir avoir le sentiment de faire partie de groupes de personnes qui se soutiennent et qui se poussent mutuellement vers l&#8217;avant.</h4><h4>Je valorise vraiment la communaut&#233;. Je crois sinc&#232;rement que si vous ne travaillez pas avec d'autres, d'une mani&#232;re ou d'une autre, lorsque vous construisez votre marque ou votre projet cr&#233;atif, par le biais de la collaboration ou simplement en demandant de l'aide, votre projet ne s'&#233;panouira pas le mieux possible.  Vous ressentirez bient&#244;t une immense solitude (<em>j'y suis pass&#233;e, je l'ai v&#233;cu</em>).</h4><h4>Cela ne signifie pas que vous ne devriez pas avoir votre propre direction artistique pour votre marque ou projet cr&#233;atif. Au contraire, vous devriez absolument le faire !. Je ne dis pas que vous devriez &#233;couter chaque conseil que chaque personne vous donne, mais ressentir que vous faites partie de quelque chose de plus grand que vous, une communaut&#233; o&#249; chacun pousse collectivement les autres vers le haut pour atteindre les objectifs de chacun, est super important. Je ne sais pas pour vous, mais, bien souvent travailler avec d'autres me motive plus que travailler seule.</h4><h4> Qu'en&nbsp;pensez-vous&nbsp;?</h4><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://baboushka.substack.com/p/creative-projects-overload/comments&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Laissez un commentaire&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://baboushka.substack.com/p/creative-projects-overload/comments"><span>Laissez un commentaire</span></a></p><h4>Dans d'autres actualit&#233;s (si vous avez continu&#233; &#224; lire, vous &#234;tes au courant d'informations exclusives &#128521;)  j'ai &#233;t&#233; en discussion avec ma tr&#232;s bonne amie <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cholepolki/">Chloe Polkinghorne</a> (une photographe et vid&#233;aste extr&#234;mement talentueuse bas&#233;e &#224; Paris) au cours des derni&#232;res semaines pour collaborer ensemble sur le d&#233;but d'un projet TR&#200;S excitant.

These include some of my friend&#8217;s work, music, podcasts, books, other reads &amp; more.</strong></em></h5><div><hr></div><h4><strong>Happy Friday! </strong></h4><h4><strong>I&#8217;m working on some really exciting projects in the next few weeks&#8230;finding it difficult to keep the details to myself, but I hope the anticipation will be worth it in the coming months. You&#8217;re all getting the exclusive information here! I won&#8217;t say too much, but let&#8217;s just say that I&#8217;ve been in talks with some collaborators about expanding the BABOUSHKA brand&#8230;&amp; I&#8217;m really excited! I&#8217;ll share more and more details as soon as things materialise, but in the meantime, I hope you enjoy the rest of this newsletter, it includes a yummy veggie recipe &amp; a few tips on journalling. </strong></h4><div><hr></div><h4><strong>As some of you may know already, I&#8217;m a private chef based in Paris, under my brand called <a href="https://www.instagram.com/baboushka.eats/">BABOUSHKA</a>. Under this brand, I not only delivery lunchboxes to brands for their photoshoots and do catering for private and professional events, but I also deliver weekly dinners for private clients that sometimes don&#8217;t have the time to cook hearty meals for their families. So, this week - I share with you the recipe for a vegetarian chili con carne, or better yet - a chili SIN carne. It&#8217;s flavourful, spicy (if you like it like that), yummy &amp; comforting for these cold winter nights. You can find the recipe below, after the usual newsletter chatter - enjoy!</strong></h4><div><hr></div><h4>This week I want to talk to you about something I didn&#8217;t mention in my last newsletter (which was already quite long), that I find important &amp; would like to continue with this year &amp; forever : JOURNALING.</h4><h4>I&#8217;ve generally been pretty good at this over the last years, but I sometimes go a few days or weeks without doing it and realise that it consistently creates creative blockages, a feeling of &#8220;being stuck&#8221; &amp; lack of motivation - which thereby causes inconsistency - and that is something I wanna stray from this year. </h4><h4>So, my goal for this year is to stay CONSISTENT with journaling<em> </em>every day<em>. Although I must admit - 3 weeks into 2024 &amp; I&#8217;d be lying if I told you I have managed it EVERY &#8230;DAY. Nevertheless, </em>if you want to start journaling and don&#8217;t really know how/where to start, here are some ideas/topics that I write about when I journal:</h4><h3>3 things I&#8217;m grateful for</h3><h4>I wrote about this in my first ever newsletter <em><a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/baboushka/p/baboushka-newsletter-01?r=1zu9q8&amp;utm_medium=ios&amp;utm_campaign=post">here</a></em> if you want to have a look at some ideas of things to be grateful for)</h4><h3>&#8288;The dream(s) I just had (if I can remember it/them)</h3><h4>Even picking up on little details like colours, smells, sensations or feelings you had during your dream can be helpful. Growing up, I would always remember my mum writing out her dreams on little notebooks on the kitchen table or in her bed in the morning. I always found the analysis of dreams extremely interesting - &amp; the subconscious mind in general. </h4><h3>What I wish to do with my day &amp; timeblocking </h3><h4>I wrote about timeblocking in a previous newsletter - see more on this <em><a href="https://baboushka.substack.com/p/baboushka-newsletter-03?utm_source=profile&amp;utm_medium=reader2">here</a></em>.</h4><h4>Let me know if you have anything you like to journal about, I&#8217;d love to get new ideas for my morning scribble.</h4><h4>I do have a few more goals I&#8217;d like to keep on top of for this year, which include the classics: workout more, eat healthier consistently &amp; spend less time on my phone if it&#8217;s not constructive. But I think those should apply to life in general, and I have been making considerable steps towards bettering my health in general over the last few weeks. </h4><h4>Have you managed to keep on top of some of your new year goals?</h4><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://baboushka.substack.com/p/chili-sin-carne-recipe/comments&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Leave a comment&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://baboushka.substack.com/p/chili-sin-carne-recipe/comments"><span>Leave a comment</span></a></p><h4>Enjoy the recipe below &amp;

(<em>C'est ce qu'on appellerait pour un &#233;crivain le syndrome de la page blanche&#8230;)</em></h4><h4>Donc, mon objectif pour cette ann&#233;e est de rester COH&#201;RENTE avec le journaling TOUS LES JOURS. Bien que je doive admettre qu'apr&#232;s semaines en 2024 je mentirais si je vous disais que j'y suis arriv&#233;e TOUS LES JOURS. N&#233;anmoins, si vous voulez commencer le journaling et ne savez pas vraiment comment, ou par o&#249; commencer, voici quelques id&#233;es/sujets sur lesquels j'&#233;cris lorsque je fais&nbsp;du&nbsp;journaling&nbsp;:</h4><h3>3 choses pour lesquelles je suis reconnaissant(e)</h3><h4>J'ai &#233;crit &#224; ce sujet dans ma toute premi&#232;re newsletter (<em><a href="https://baboushka.substack.com/p/baboushka-newsletter-01?r=1zu9q8&amp;utm_medium=ios&amp;utm_campaign=post">ici</a></em> si vous voulez jeter un coup d'&#339;il &#224; quelques id&#233;es).</h4><h3>Les r&#234;ves que je viens d'avoir (si je m'en souviens)</h3><h4>Juste le fait de remarquer des petits d&#233;tails comme les couleurs, les odeurs, les sensations ou les sentiments que vous avez eus pendant votre r&#234;ve, peut &#234;tre utile. </h4><h4>En grandissant, je me souviens toujours que ma m&#232;re &#233;crivait ses r&#234;ves sur de petits carnets sur la table de la cuisine ou dans son lit le matin. J'ai toujours trouv&#233; l'analyse des r&#234;ves extr&#234;mement int&#233;ressante - et l'esprit subconscient en g&#233;n&#233;ral.</h4><h3>Ce que je souhaite faire de ma journ&#233;e et le blocage du temps</h3><h4>J'ai &#233;crit &#224; ce sujet dans une pr&#233;c&#233;dente newsletter (voir plus &#224; ce sujet <em><a href="https://baboushka.substack.com/p/baboushka-newsletter-03?utm_source=profile&amp;utm_medium=reader2">ici</a></em>).</h4><h4>Faites-moi savoir si vous avez quelque chose que vous aimez "journaliser", j'aimerais avoir de nouvelles id&#233;es pour mes gribouillages matinaux.</h4><h4>J'ai quelques autres objectifs que j'aimerais atteindre cette ann&#233;e, qui incluent les classiques : faire plus d'exercice, manger plus sainement de mani&#232;re constante et passer moins de temps sur mon t&#233;l&#233;phone si ce n'est pas constructif. Mais je pense que ceci devrait s'appliquer &#224; la vie en g&#233;n&#233;ral, et j'ai fait des progr&#232;s consid&#233;rables pour am&#233;liorer ma sant&#233; au cours des derni&#232;res

Been trying to go into the new year with a different, fresher perspective. Laying down what I want to improve from 2023, what I wish to start, what I would like to achieve &amp; most importantly&#8230;what I need to leave behind.</strong></h4><h4><strong>I quickly wrote down some &#8220;INs &amp; OUTs&#8221; for 2024 that I&#8217;d like to share with you, maybe these can be cause for reflection for some:</strong></h4><h3><strong>INS:</strong></h3><h4><strong>- action</strong></h4><h4><strong>- &#8288;consistency in work</strong></h4><h4><strong>- &#8288;consistency in movement</strong></h4><h4><strong>- &#8288;consistency in general</strong></h4><h4><strong>- &#8288;thinking &amp; doing things for self first (this is for all my people pleasers out there)</strong></h4><h4><strong>- &#8288;setting clear boundaries </strong></h4><h4><strong>- &#8288;money, money, money</strong></h4><h4><strong>- &#8288;expressing anger when it arises instead of bottling it up</strong></h4><h4><strong>- &#8288;prioritising solo self care time</strong></h4><h4><strong>- &#8288;meditation &amp; mindfulness</strong></h4><h4><strong>- &#8288;building a sense of community</strong></h4><h3><strong>OUTS:</strong></h3><h4><strong>- reaction</strong></h4><h4><strong>- &#8288;overanalysing/intellectualising emotions</strong></h4><h4><strong>- &#8288;alcohol (!!)</strong></h4><h4><strong>- &#8288;solving other people&#8217;s problems for them (unless paid to do so)</strong></h4><h4><strong>- &#8288;over-thinking, over-explaining &amp; over-sharing</strong></h4><h4><strong>- &#8288;making important decisions too quickly</strong></h4><p></p><h4><strong>I also had a think about some goals I&#8217;d like to set for BABOUSHKA this year, so here it goes:</strong></h4><h3><strong>STAYING CONSISTENT WITH NEWSLETTER &amp; UPDATED BABOUSHKA PLAYLIST </strong><em><strong>(found below!)</strong></em></h3><h4><strong>I&#8217;d like to keep this goal (because I know a lot of you hassled me - rightly so - last year to release this newsletter more often) but also because, like I put in my &#8220;INS&#8221; above - I wish to stay consistent with work. I also really enjoy spending time writing this newsletter &amp; I find that sharing a few of my thoughts is pretty therapeutic. </strong></h4><h4><strong>Getting feedback from you guys is also great because it helps evolve BABOUSHKA to a greater place &amp; builds a greater sense of community. It also means that some of my words resonate with some of you, which is the most important. </strong></h4><h4><strong>I also really missed updating the <a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0unoXRmFygv6pK13oBqYGV?si=f63211136d124734">playlist</a> - I listen to so much music &amp; it&#8217;s just silly for me not to update the playlist&#8230; it literally takes 5 minutes - I pledge to you my consistency with this in 2024.</strong></h4><h3><strong>WRITE A COOKBOOK &amp; RELEASE IT</strong></h3><h4><strong>I know I&#8217;ll get some messages regarding this&#8230;just know that I am &amp; have been working on this&#8230;&amp; it&#8217;s very exciting! </strong></h4><h4><strong>I&#8217;ve been lacking in creativity this past year &amp; would love to get some of it back. I think the task of putting a cookbook together from A-Z (which means designing the actual physical book itself - layout, fonts, photos, recipes, illustrations&#8230;maybe?) would be a great idea. </strong></h4><h3><strong>DO MORE COLLABORATIVE PROJECTS</strong></h3><h4><strong>I&#8217;ve got a few projects in the works which will hopefully see the light of day later this year. </strong></h4><h4><strong>As some of you know, maybe those of you who have been following since before the project was ever about food (about 3 years ago now)... BABOUSHKA was originally founded as a media platform, showcasing creatives I share core values with (see </strong><em><strong><a href="https://www.annameerson.com/baboushka">here</a></strong></em><strong> for more). </strong></h4><h4><strong>This year, I wish to start bridging the gap between <a href="https://www.instagram.com/baboushka.eats/">@BABOUSHKA.eats</a> &amp; <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thebaboushkaproject/">@thebaboushkaproject</a> by bringing my 2 passions together - food &amp; culture - to showcase the true essence of the overarching brand BABOUSHKA.</strong></h4><h4><strong>This essence includes community, open conversation &amp; collaboration. If none of this makes much sense right now, just know that it&#8217;s a work that&#8217;s been in progress for a while &amp; it will all make sense soon&#8230;stay&nbsp;tuned!</strong></h4><p></p><h4>What are some of your 2024 goals?</h4><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://baboushka.substack.com/p/2024-goals/comments&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Leave a comment&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://baboushka.substack.com/p/2024-goals/comments"><span>Leave a comment</span></a></p><h4>Enjoy the recipe below &amp;

Et partager quelques-unes de mes pens&#233;es est plut&#244;t th&#233;rapeutique.</h4><h4>Recueillir vos retours est &#233;galement g&#233;nial car cela aide BABOUSHKA &#224; s'am&#233;liorer et renforce un plus grand sentiment d'appartenance &#224; une communaut&#233;.</h4><h4>Cela signifie &#233;galement que certaines de mes paroles r&#233;sonnent en certains d'entre vous, ce qui est le plus important.</h4><h4>J'ai aussi vraiment n&#233;glig&#233; de mettre &#224; jour la playlist. J'&#233;coute tellement de musique que ce serait absurde de ne pas effectuer cette mise &#224; jour...cela prend litt&#233;ralement 5 minutes. Je vous promets de le faire en 2024.</h4><h3>&#201;CRIRE UN LIVRE DE CUISINE ET LE PUBLIER</h3><h4>Je sais que je recevrai des messages &#224; ce sujet... sachez simplement que je travaille dessus, et c'est tr&#232;s excitant !</h4><h4>J'ai le sentiment d'avoir manqu&#233; de cr&#233;ativit&#233; au cours de cette derni&#232;re ann&#233;e et j'aimerais vraiment&nbsp; la retrouver.</h4><h4>Le processus de conception physique d'un livre de cuisine de A &#224; Z - mise en page, polices, photos, recettes, illustrations... peut-&#234;tre ? - serait un excellent moyen de remettre en marche cette cr&#233;ativit&#233;.</h4><h3>PARTICIPER A PLUS DE PROJETS COLLABORATIFS</h3><h4>J'ai quelques projets en cours qui verront peut-&#234;tre (j&#8217;esp&#232;re&nbsp;!) le jour plus tard cette ann&#233;e.</h4><h4>Comme certains d'entre vous le savent peut-&#234;tre, notamment ceux qui m'ont suivie d&#232;s avant que le projet ne soit centr&#233; sur la nourriture (il y a environ 3 ans maintenant)...je rappelle que BABOUSHKA a &#233;t&#233; initialement fond&#233;e comme une plateforme m&#233;diatique, mettant en avant des cr&#233;atifs partageant des valeurs fondamentales communes (voir <a href="https://www.annameerson.com/baboushka">ici</a> pour plus d'informations).</h4><h4>Cette ann&#233;e, je souhaite commencer &#224; combler le foss&#233; entre <a href="https://www.instagram.com/baboushka.eats/">@BABOUSHKA.eats</a> et <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thebaboushkaproject/">@thebaboushkaproject</a> en r&#233;unissant mes deux passions - la nourriture et la culture - pour montrer la v&#233;ritable essence de la marque globale BABOUSHKA.</h4><h4>Cette essence comprend la communaut&#233;, la conversation ouverte et la collaboration. Si tout cela n'a pas beaucoup de sens pour le moment, sachez simplement qu'il s'agit d'un travail en cours depuis un certain temps et tout prendra bient&#244;t du sens...restez &#224; l'&#233;coute

It&#8217;s been a hell of a year for me personally &amp; for BABOUSHKA&#8230;I&#8217;ve hit a few milestones &amp; went through some ups and downs, I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;m not the only one here looking forward to turning over a new leaf (no matter how clich&#233; that sounds) &amp; starting anew tomorrow - no matter how symbolic it may be/seem. </p><p><em><strong>This year&#8230;</strong></em></p><ul><li><p>I&#8217;ve been lucky enough to travel a lot, learn a lot, cook a lot, laugh a lot, cry a lot, win a lot &amp; lose a lot. I&#8217;m forever grateful for all the opportunities that have come my way this past year - good or bad. I&#8217;m not one to dwell too much on failures but tend to take most hardships as lessons - I believe that&#8217;s the only way to move in the world &amp; grow when persuing your passion(s). Or just in order to be a good human being &amp; progress without letting your ego get the best of you. </p></li><li><p>Someone told me that I question things a lot&#8230;which I initially took as a bad thing - but I&#8217;ve come to realise that in a world full of misinterpretations &amp; confusions coming from misunderstandings &amp; miscommunications - curiosity, empathy &amp; truly holding space for others <em>(without projecting!)</em> is important for deep connection.</p></li><li><p>I&#8217;ve learnt the hard way that listening to my gut is king &amp; that the body speaks. Even when you&#8217;re not sure what&#8217;s being said, listening to it &amp; looking inwards is important in order to understand your needs, wants &amp; boundaries. </p></li></ul><p>When reflecting on what I&#8217;d like to do better moving into 2024 - it would be this - learning to take time when making decisions and not move into things too quickly. This goes for all aspects of life - work, family, love, friendships etc. etc. </p><p>Taking things slowly in a world that sometimes seems chaotic, and listening to signals your body may be giving you is so important.</p><div><hr></div><p>You might have realised by now that this newsletter isn&#8217;t just about food - it&#8217;s about life in general, culture &amp; some thoughts I have that I find some people could maybe relate to. </p><p>Since starting this newsletter in january, a lot has happened for BABOUSHKA. I&#8217;ve found it hard to keep up with sending newsletters (those who have been subscribed since the beginning&#8230;know!) - I&#8217;m going to try my best to stay consistent in 2024, but I&#8217;ve realised that adding too many sections to it make it overwhelming for my ADHD brain. I also think that a newsletter is a way to have a more personal relationship with you guys (yes you, the person reading this) - and adding pressure to the process makes it impersonal. It makes me feel like I have to do it <em>this way</em> or<em> that way</em> &amp; I don&#8217;t like that - it feels fake &amp; I wanna keep it real with you guys!</p><p>So&#8230; to those who have been here for a while, thank you for your patience &amp; to those who are just joining - welcome! I promise to bring you a little piece of BABOUSHKA (so Anna&#8230;because in reality, BABOUSHKA is an extension of me) to your mailbox every now and then, like something you&#8217;re not really expecting - a surprise - you&#8217;re not really sure when you&#8217;ll get it, but when you do, I hope it will leave you smiling, perplexed, confused, sad? or just feeling <strong>something</strong>&#8230;better yet&#8230;leave you hungry&#8230;make sure to try the <a href="https://www.annameerson.com/">recipes on my website</a>!</p><p>Anyway, I won&#8217;t say too much more because I know a lot of you will either be reading this now, getting ready for your NYE parties, or tomorrow, hungover af - but I sincerely send you all my love, thank you again for your support &amp; hope you all have a very sweet start to your 2024. </p><div><hr></div><p><strong>Below you&#8217;ll find some of BABOUSHKA&#8217;s highlights from 2023 - speak soon!</strong></p><div><hr></div><p>I did a post not long ago on Instagram, celebration the achievements of BABOUSHKA as <strong>we turned 1 year old in October (crazy!)</strong> - you can see it <em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CyqZAIwLgUU/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==">here</a></em>:</p><div class="instagram-embed-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;instagram_id&quot;:&quot;CyqZAIwLgUU&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;A post shared by @baboushka.eats&quot;,&quot;author_name&quot;:&quot;baboushka.eats&quot;,&quot;thumbnail_url&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/__ss-rehost__IG-meta-CyqZAIwLgUU.jpg&quot;,&quot;like_count&quot;:null,&quot;comment_count&quot;:null,&quot;profile_pic_url&quot;:null,&quot;follower_count&quot;:null,&quot;timestamp&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true}" data-component-name="InstagramToDOM"></div><p>I&#8217;ve also had the pleasure of making 4 videos for the very cool <a href="https://www.instagram.com/step.your.world/">STEP</a> app in collaboration with my very talented friend <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ludovicpieterson/">Ludovic</a> to accompany my profile &amp; &#8220;<a href="https://tr.ee/PqWX_k5B7m">BABOUSHKA&#8217;s STEP GUIDE TO PARIS</a>&#8221; on their app - a guide where I&#8217;ve added a lot of my favourite spots to eat at, shop at, or visit in Paris.

C'&#233;tait la premi&#232;re fois que cette marque quittait Berlin et la premi&#232;re fois que moi, je participais &#224; un &#233;v&#233;nement pour la PFW. Cela signifiait donc beaucoup pour nous deux et il fallait que ce soit aussi parfait que possible. Le th&#232;me de l'installation &#233;tait "PARIS MEETS BERLIN" - o&#249; l'id&#233;e &#233;tait de m&#233;langer le c&#244;t&#233; romantique et sensuel de Paris avec le charme plus brut de Berlin.

honey with my morning coffee...but I didn't have bread, and I admit, even though I live in Paris, and it would literally take me 5 minutes to go downstairs to a boulangerie to get fresh bread...I couldn&#8217;t be bothered to leave my apartment. So, instead, I decided to make my own - with no yeast, using no oven &amp; in only 20 mins. I&#8217;ve left the recipe in this newsletter.</p><p>For the full recipe<em>, find it <a href="https://www.annameerson.com/healthyish-italian-apple-pie">here</a>, or click on the photo above :)</em></p><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://baboushka.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share BABOUSHKA by Anna Meerson&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://baboushka.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share"><span>Share BABOUSHKA by Anna Meerson</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h4><strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTb7_v8tKVk">WATCH THE LATEST BABOUSHKA INTERVIEW FEATURING KAM-BU</a></strong></h4><div id="youtube2-hTb7_v8tKVk" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;hTb7_v8tKVk&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/hTb7_v8tKVk?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrZ5zFe9hxOQAtwHRWxvamg">SUBSCRIBE TO BABOUSHKA&#8217;S YOUTUBE CHANNEL &amp; HELP US GROW</a></p><div><hr></div><h4><strong>THOUGHT(S) OF THE WEEK</strong></h4><p>I wanted to say a big THANK YOU for staying subscribed to this newsletter and for being so patient with me! I&#8217;m sorry about going AWOL since&#8230;march (yikes!), but running a new business on my own &amp; trying to keep a good routine at the same time is a little harder than I expected&#8230;but it&#8217;s ok, we learn as we go.</p><p>If you follow my business on Instagram, you&#8217;ll notice that it has been a busy few months for BABOUSHKA.</p><p>I did some <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CuFaspcrVcY/">lunchbox deliveries</a> for a 3-day photoshoot for <a href="https://www.puig.com/en/">PUIG</a>, as well as <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CrgUF-SoYsB/">lunchboxes for a photoshoot for VOGUE</a>. I then went to the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/chateaudelahauteborde/">Chateau de la Haute Borde</a>, where I spent a week as a chef in residency (<em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CsdSZqqIPy1/">see all the food I cooked &amp; the beautiful BTS here</a></em>). I then came back to Paris to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Csn2NjbIBb5/">cater for a 50 person dinner</a> for the <a href="https://www.iaaglobal.org/">International Advertising Association</a>, and went BACK to the CHB that same weekend after being asked to if I could help them cater for their guests (which I absolutely agreed to, seeing as the place, the people and the energies are so beautiful there).</p><p>THEN, a week later, I was on a flight to Portugal to prep for <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wakinglife.pt/">WAKING LIFE FESTIVAL</a> &#8211; where BABOUSHKA had it&#8217;s own stand-alone food stall (approx. 10-15 mins walk away from all other food at the festival) next to the Giegling Label stage. It was QUITE an experience! We had 6 weeks to prepare, 10 days on site, 3 days constructing the stand, 5 days of service, a 12 person team, 2000 orders taken, 1200 vegan bricks fried, 1800 falafels served, 450 shakshukas cooked, 400 slices of melon cut&#8230;all this with very few hours slept. I was BEYOND proud of how much we managed to achieve with my golden team &#8211; thank you so much to Ambre, Aedan, S&#233;gol&#232;ne, Theo, Sacha, Anatole, Jara, Elina, Kim &amp; Manu.</p><p>Starting a business and seeing it get this far in just under 7 months is beyond overwhelming (in the best possible way)&nbsp;!</p><p><em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Ctb3JXpIWGX/">See the highlight post of BABOUSHKA at Waking Life Festival, Portugal here</a>.</em></p><p>After Waking Life Festival, I came back to Paris for another 50 person job &#8211; for a private client who wanted to do a big party with a big beautiful buffet for her mother&#8217;s joint 70<sup>th</sup> birthday with her twin sister. Unfortunately, I got really sick coming back from Portugal, and had to learn to delegate to a team who would take over &amp; do the job for me. It&#8217;s scary leaving your baby (for me it&#8217;s BABOUSHKA&#8230;obviously) and giving control over to a team in the hopes that they&#8217;ll execute your vision &amp; give your clients the best &amp; most-memorable experience possible, and they did just that! Thank you to Hanna, Carmen, Sharan &amp; Etienne, who were the dream-team on this one!</p><p><em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Ctod624LZVc/">See the highlight of this 50 person private buffet here.</a></em></p><p>After a few days, I got better however, and it was time for Paris Fashion Week &#8211; where I was contacted by an amazing fashion house in Berlin &#8211; <a href="https://www.instagram.com/uy.studio/">UY STUDIO</a> to do an artistic culinary collaboration with them for the opening of their PFW showroom. It was the first time the brand left Berlin, and the first time I had been involved in an event for PFW, so it meant a lot to the both of us that it was as perfect as possible. The installation&#8217;s theme was &#8220;PARIS MEETS BERLIN&#8221; &#8211; where the idea was to mix Paris&#8217;s romantic, sensual side with Berlin&#8217;s brutalist charm. It was done in collaboration with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/omergilony/">Omer Gilony</a>, an incredibly talented set designer based in Lisbon. We decided on having piles of beautiful deconstructed food on tables in the showroom, where the guests could come and pick at each of them as they please. </p><p><em><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Ct8icDfLEas/">Photos &amp; videos can be seen on BABOUSHKA.eats Instagram here.</a></em></p><p>I hope you all can understand now why I haven&#8217;t really had the time to write this newsletter&#8230;I promise I will do my best to be better at giving you all more regular news on all things BABOUSHKA, including recipes, tips, tricks &amp; inspiration.</p><div><hr></div><h3><strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0unoXRmFygv6pK13oBqYGV?si=f761fcfc70b44d40">THE BABOUSHKA PLAYLIST</a></strong></h3><iframe class="spotify-wrap playlist" data-attrs="{&quot;image&quot;:&quot;https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67706c0000bebb3b96fe9d1ba27b030b0ca611&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;BABOUSHKA&quot;,&quot;subtitle&quot;:&quot;By Anna Meerson&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;Playlist&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0unoXRmFygv6pK13oBqYGV&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;noScroll&quot;:false}" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/playlist/0unoXRmFygv6pK13oBqYGV" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allowfullscreen="true" allow="encrypted-media" loading="lazy" data-component-name="Spotify2ToDOM"></iframe><p>Add the BABOUSHKA playlist to your Spotify - updated weekly.</p><div><hr></div><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://baboushka.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Inscrivez-vous&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading BABOUSHKA by Anna Meerson!

Cela peut sembler idiot, effrayant ou ridicule, mais me donner la permission de le ressentir le rend moins effrayant. Ne pas me comparer &#224; ce que je consid&#232;re comme normal, ni aux autres. Ils peuvent sembler avoir tout compris, mais je compare probablement mon int&#233;rieur &#224; leur ext&#233;rieur. Peut-&#234;tre qu'&#224; l'int&#233;rieur, ils sont aussi perdus et l&#226;ches que moi.</p><p>2. Explorons d'o&#249; vient cette &#233;motion. Je ne pense pas que j'ai besoin d'explorer tout mon pass&#233;, mais je dois me poser la simple question&nbsp;: "Est-ce un sentiment_ &#224; propos de MAINTENANT ou du pass&#233;&nbsp;?" Habituellement, parce que j'&#233;tais d&#233;courag&#233; de ressentir certains sentiments quand j'&#233;tais enfant, les sentiments intenses viennent du pass&#233;. Resmaa Menakem dit : &#8220;Tout ce qui est hyst&#233;rique est historique.&#8221;</p><p>3. Me demander si ce sentiment est justifi&#233; compte tenu des circonstances actuelles. </p><p>4. Sinon, je ne me reproche pas d'avoir ces sentiments, et je ne me donne pas la permission d'&#234;tre passif. J'essaie de vivre ce moment pr&#233;cis, en r&#233;pondant &#224; ce moment et en ne  r&#233;agissant pas au pass&#233;. Donc, je ressens le sentiment et "je le fais quand m&#234;me".(...)</p></blockquote><p>J&#8217;esp&#232;re que vous aimerez la vid&#233;o :) let me know!</p><div><hr></div><h4><strong><a

I thought I could keep a good natural weekly rhythm with these newsletters&#8230;unfortunately (but not surprising) - that&#8217;s not the case. So, I thought it would be less stressful for me if I told you that the newsletters would arrive every 2-3 weeks. That way - not only will you not be bombarded with lots of emails all the time, but it will give me time to send you more interesting and qualitative emails&#8230;with maybe little surprises along the way&#8230;I'll see. In any case - 7 newsletters already! I am SO grateful that you take the time to read these, it means a lot to me!</p><p>For this week, I'm sharing my recipe for chicken with BBQ sauce - if you're vegan, you can very well use any type of vegetable in place of the chicken, or veggie alternatives like tofu, seitan etc. - the important part of this recipe is the sauce ;-)</p><p>As promised in my last newsletter, this recipe goes very well with the last recipe (<a href="https://www.annameerson.com/butternut-squash-dauphinoise">you can find it here</a>).</p><p>If you make this recipe, post it on Instagram and tag <strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/baboushka.eats/">@BABOUSHKA.EATS</a></strong>!</p><p>For the full recipe<em>, find it <a href="https://www.annameerson.com/chicken-in-a-homemade-bbq-sauce">here</a>, or click on the photo above :)</em></p><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://baboushka.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share BABOUSHKA by Anna Meerson&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://baboushka.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share"><span>Share BABOUSHKA by Anna Meerson</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h2><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrZ5zFe9hxOQAtwHRWxvamg">SUBSCRIBE TO BABOUSHKA&#8217;S YOUTUBE</a></h2><div id="youtube2-hTb7_v8tKVk" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;hTb7_v8tKVk&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/hTb7_v8tKVk?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><h4><strong>WATCH THE LATEST <a href="https://www.annameerson.com/baboushka">BABOUSHKA</a> INTERVIEW FEATURING <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kamb_u/">KAM-BU</a></strong></h4><div><hr></div><h4><strong>THOUGHT(S) OF THE WEEK</strong></h4><div id="youtube2-wLj3FSd79i4" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;wLj3FSd79i4&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/wLj3FSd79i4?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>I'm quite busy at the moment, so I'm just going to share this video I watched a few weeks ago by Alain de Botton from The School of Life.</p><p>I was particularly touched by a comment left under the video which speaks of emotions and dealing with them:</p><blockquote><p>1. Be aware of the feeling I'm having, and give myself permission to feel it. It may feel silly or scary or ridiculous, but giving myself permission to feel it makes it less scary. Don't compare myself with what I think of as normal, or to others. They may seem like they have it all together, but I'm probably comparing my insides to their outsides. Maybe inside they are just as lost and cowardly as I am. </p><p>2. Explore where this feeling comes from. I don't think I need to explore my whole past, but I need to ask myself the simple question: "Is this a feeling about NOW or about the past?" Usually, because I was discouraged from feeling certain feelings as a child, the intense feelings are from the past. Resmaa Menakem says, "Whatever is hysterical is historical." </p><p>3. Ask myself if that feeling is warranted given the present circumstances. </p><p>4. If not, I don't berate myself for having those feelings, and I don't give myself permission to be passive. I try to live in this moment, responding to this moment and not reacting to the past. So, I feel the feeling and 'do it anyway.'</p></blockquote><p>I hope you like the video :) let me know!</p><div><hr></div><h3><strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0unoXRmFygv6pK13oBqYGV?si=f761fcfc70b44d40">THE BABOUSHKA PLAYLIST</a></strong></h3><iframe class="spotify-wrap playlist" data-attrs="{&quot;image&quot;:&quot;https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67706c0000bebb3b96fe9d1ba27b030b0ca611&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;BABOUSHKA&quot;,&quot;subtitle&quot;:&quot;By Anna Meerson&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;Playlist&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0unoXRmFygv6pK13oBqYGV&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;noScroll&quot;:false}" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/playlist/0unoXRmFygv6pK13oBqYGV" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allowfullscreen="true" allow="encrypted-media" loading="lazy" data-component-name="Spotify2ToDOM"></iframe><p>Add the BABOUSHKA playlist to your Spotify - updated weekly.</p><div><hr></div><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://baboushka.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Inscrivez-vous&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading BABOUSHKA by Anna Meerson!

N&#233;anmoins, ce n&#8217;est pas n&#233;cessairement le fond du d&#233;bat qui m&#8217;int&#233;resse, mais la forme!</p><p>Je pense qu'avec une telle polarisation en ligne et dans les informations nationales, en particulier sur des sujets qui prennent rapidement une tournure politicienne, il est imp&#233;ratif que les parties au d&#233;bat proc&#232;dent &#224; des v&#233;rifications approfondies avant toute intervention afin d'&#233;viter la d&#233;sinformation ainsi que toute participation  &#224; la propagation de fausses nouvelles.</p><p>Je serais vraiment int&#233;ress&#233;e de savoir ce que vous pensez de ce sujet - sur le fact-checking avant tout d&#233;bats.

In this particular video, the central theme of the discussion revolved around whether or not marijuana should be legalised in the United States. However, it is not necessarily the substance of the debate that interests me, but the form!</p><p>I think that with such polarisation online and in the national news, especially on topics that quickly turn political, it is imperative that the parties to the debate carry out thorough checks before any intervention, in order to avoid misinformation and participate in the propagation of fake news.</p><p>Just some food for thought.</p><p>I would be really interested to know what you think of this subject - on fact-checking before any debate. Feel free to leave a comment under this post (directly on substack) or reply to this email directly! :)</p><p>As always, I hope you are having a great day!</p><div><hr></div><h3><strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0unoXRmFygv6pK13oBqYGV?si=f761fcfc70b44d40">THE BABOUSHKA PLAYLIST</a></strong></h3><iframe class="spotify-wrap playlist" data-attrs="{&quot;image&quot;:&quot;https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67706c0000bebb3b96fe9d1ba27b030b0ca611&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;BABOUSHKA&quot;,&quot;subtitle&quot;:&quot;By Anna Meerson&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;Playlist&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0unoXRmFygv6pK13oBqYGV&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;noScroll&quot;:false}" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/playlist/0unoXRmFygv6pK13oBqYGV" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allowfullscreen="true" allow="encrypted-media" loading="lazy" data-component-name="Spotify2ToDOM"></iframe><p>Add the BABOUSHKA playlist to your Spotify - updated weekly.</p><div><hr></div><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://baboushka.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Inscrivez-vous&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading BABOUSHKA by Anna Meerson!

about <strong>the relationship between food colour &amp; their benefits</strong> (mostly for antioxidant effects). The link she sent does a better job at explaining it - <em><a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7473347/">so here it is</a></em>.</p><p>The key takeaways I got from it though are:</p><ul><li><p>The more colour you have on your plate, the better:</p></li></ul><blockquote><p>&#8220;It is recommended consumers include various colors in their plate to obtain various vitamins and minerals.&#8221;</p></blockquote><ul><li><p>Some fruit and vegetables have different antioxidant capacities</p></li></ul><blockquote><p>&#8220;Red pepper, cranberry, yellow pepper, corn, strawberry, eggplant, zucchini, red onion, black grape, parsley, green bean and radish can potentially contribute between 59% and 20% of daily antioxidant intake and are categorized as high-antioxidant fruits and vegetables. Besides, scallion, cauliflower, cress, sour cherry, spinach, onion, red cabbage, blueberry, tomato, mushroom, green pepper, red apple, red currant, and green apple have medium antioxidant capacity by contributing between 10% and 16% of recommended daily antioxidant intake.&#8221;</p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h3><strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0unoXRmFygv6pK13oBqYGV?si=f761fcfc70b44d40">THE BABOUSHKA PLAYLIST</a></strong></h3><iframe class="spotify-wrap playlist" data-attrs="{&quot;image&quot;:&quot;https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67706c0000bebb3b96fe9d1ba27b030b0ca611&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;BABOUSHKA&quot;,&quot;subtitle&quot;:&quot;By Anna Meerson&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;Playlist&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0unoXRmFygv6pK13oBqYGV&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;noScroll&quot;:false}" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/playlist/0unoXRmFygv6pK13oBqYGV" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allowfullscreen="true" allow="encrypted-media" loading="lazy" data-component-name="Spotify2ToDOM"></iframe><p>Add the BABOUSHKA playlist to your Spotify - updated weekly.</p><div><hr></div><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://baboushka.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Inscrivez-vous&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading BABOUSHKA by Anna Meerson!

Il y a quelques jours, j'ai &#233;t&#233; d&#233;pass&#233;e par une surstimulation sensorielle pendant la journ&#233;e. J'&#233;tais dans le bus et j'avais vraiment besoin de me calmer parce que j'avais trop de pens&#233;es qui me traversaient l'esprit et j'avais l'impression d'avoir atteint ma limite. J'&#233;tais en compagnie d'Hanna (ma colocataire et meilleure amie - hey Hanna!) et je lui ai dit que j'avais besoin d'un peu de temps pour me calmer. J'ai d&#233;cid&#233; de faire un exercice de respiration en bo&#238;te - cela implique essentiellement&nbsp;:</p><ul><li><p>d'expirer en comptant jusqu'&#224; quatre</p></li><li><p>de retenir son souffle en comptant jusqu'&#224; quatre</p></li><li><p>d'inspirer encore jusqu'&#224; quatre</p></li><li><p>de retenir son souffle dans les poumons toujours de un &#224; quatre (et r&#233;p&#233;ter le processus)</p></li></ul><p>Plus d'infos et avantages <em><a href="https://www.verywellmind.com/the-benefits-and-steps-of-box-breathing-4159900#:~:text=Box%20breathing%2C%20also%20known%20as,and%20beginning%20the%20pattern%20anew.">ici</a> </em>(lien en anglais).</p><p>Apr&#232;s avoir fait un cycle d'environ 20 respirations, j'ai ouvert les yeux et je me suis automatiquement sentie beaucoup plus calme.

A few days ago, I got overwhelmed because of overstimulation and mass sensory overload during the day. I was on the bus and felt like I really needed to calm myself down because I had too many thoughts going through my mind, and I felt like I was at my limit. I was with Hanna (my housemate &amp; bestfriend -<em> hey Hanna</em>) &amp; told her I need a little bit of time to calm down &amp; decided to do a box-breathing exercise - this basically involves:</p><ul><li><p><strong>exhaling to a count of four</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>holding your breath for a four-count</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>inhaling to the count of four</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>holding your breath in your lungs for a count of four (&amp; repeating the process)</strong></p></li></ul><p>More info &amp; benefits of this <em><strong><a href="https://www.verywellmind.com/the-benefits-and-steps-of-box-breathing-4159900#:~:text=Box%20breathing%2C%20also%20known%20as,and%20beginning%20the%20pattern%20anew.">here</a></strong></em>.</p><p>After doing a cicle of about 20 breaths, I opened my eyes and automatically felt a lot calmer. It really helped to reduce the stress and anxiety I was starting to feel. If you feel like you get overwhelmed sometimes, or just want to simply center yourself mentally, I highly recommend doing this exercise - it&#8217;s easy to do &amp; can be done anywhere.</p><div><hr></div><h3><strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0unoXRmFygv6pK13oBqYGV?si=f761fcfc70b44d40">THE BABOUSHKA PLAYLIST</a></strong></h3><iframe class="spotify-wrap playlist" data-attrs="{&quot;image&quot;:&quot;https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67706c0000bebb3b96fe9d1ba27b030b0ca611&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;BABOUSHKA&quot;,&quot;subtitle&quot;:&quot;By Anna Meerson&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;Playlist&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0unoXRmFygv6pK13oBqYGV&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;noScroll&quot;:false}" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/playlist/0unoXRmFygv6pK13oBqYGV" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allowfullscreen="true" allow="encrypted-media" loading="lazy" data-component-name="Spotify2ToDOM"></iframe><p>Add the BABOUSHKA playlist to your Spotify - updated weekly.</p><div><hr></div><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://baboushka.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Inscrivez-vous&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading BABOUSHKA by Anna Meerson!

est important d'&#234;tre bien organis&#233;(e) et de mettre en place des routines afin d'&#233;viter de se sentir d&#233;pass&#233; et de rester productif(ve). Il y a environ 2 mois, j'ai regard&#233; cette vid&#233;o sur la gestion du temps, et l'une des choses dont le cr&#233;ateur parle est l'id&#233;e du TIMEBLOCKING&nbsp;:</p><div id="youtube2-iONDebHX9qk" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;iONDebHX9qk&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/iONDebHX9qk?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Depuis que j'ai d&#233;couvert la notion du time-blocking, je me sens beaucoup moins d&#233;bord&#233;e et beaucoup plus en contr&#244;le de mes t&#226;ches quotidiennes. Cela m'a aid&#233; &#224; mettre en place des routines et des habitudes quotidiennes auxquelles je me tiens, mais que je fais presque automatiquement &#224; travers le processus de r&#233;p&#233;tition.</p><p>La chose essentielle pour moi avec le time-blocking est qu'il vous permet non seulement de visualiser votre liste de t&#226;ches pour la journ&#233;e, mais &#231;a va encore plus loin en vous aidant &#224; d&#233;terminer quand vous r&#233;serverez du temps pour faire telle ou telle t&#226;che dans votre journ&#233;e.</p><p>Cela m'a permis de comprendre :</p><ul><li><p>Combien de temps j'ai dans une journ&#233;e</p></li><li><p>Combien de temps prend r&#233;ellement chaque t&#226;che</p></li><li><p>Combien de temps j'ai perdu dans le pass&#233; en ne l'utilisant pas efficacement</p></li></ul><p>Je vous laisse regarder la vid&#233;o compl&#232;te, mais voici quelques points &#224; retenir/notes utiles que j'en ai tir&#233;&nbsp;:</p><ol><li><p>Votre temps vous appartient</p></li><li><p>Adoptez une mentalit&#233; de "si ce n'est pas un "OUI!!!" c'est un "Non." (apprendre qu'il est ok de dire non)</p></li><li><p>D&#233;finissez une t&#226;che culminante quotidienne &#8211; une t&#226;che qui DOIT ABSOLUMENT &#234;tre effectu&#233;e afin que vous ne vous noyiez pas dans toutes vos autres t&#226;ches. Il s'agit d'apprendre &#224; cr&#233;er une hi&#233;rarchie de ce que vous devez faire (ou non) et de comprendre l'importance de chaque t&#226;che.</p></li><li><p>TIMEBLOCKING - le fait de d&#233;finir des blocs de temps dans votre calendrier (visuellement) pour chaque t&#226;che qui doit &#234;tre effectu&#233;e.</p></li><li><p>La LOI DE PARKINSON - L'id&#233;e que quel que soit le temps que vous accordez &#224; une t&#226;che sp&#233;cifique, cette t&#226;che devra in&#233;vitablement &#234;tre finie dans ce bloc de temps. Exemple : au lieu de me dire que j'ai une journ&#233;e enti&#232;re pour faire ma newsletter, je vais m'attribuer un bloc de 2 heures dans un caf&#233; pour le faire. Cela me pousse &#224; respecter un d&#233;lai limit&#233; et je suis alors moins susceptible de tergiverser.</p></li><li><p>Fixez-vous de petites &#233;ch&#233;ances atteignables afin d'atteindre vos plus grandes.</p></li><li><p>Cr&#233;ez des blocs de temps prot&#233;g&#233;s - ce sont des blocs de temps o&#249; vous &#234;tes "libre" de faire ce que vous voulez, par ex. allez sur votre t&#233;l&#233;phone pendant 15 minutes, lisez un livre pendant 30 minutes, m&#233;ditez pendant 20 minutes, etc. - tout ce qui n'est pas li&#233; au "travail".</p></li><li><p><em>&#8220;Time is money&#8221;</em> - apprenez &#224; d&#233;l&#233;guer (si vous le pouvez et si vous en avez les moyens - <em>divulgation, je ne peux pas me le permettre actuellement</em>)</p></li><li><p>Soyez satisfaits si vous n&#8217;arrivez pas &#224; rester dans les temps pour tout. Vous &#234;tes humain, c'est normal que tout ne soit pas parfait tout le temps :)</p></li></ol><div><hr></div><h4><strong><a

experimenting with different recipes - notably this one by Nigella Lawson. At this point, I was feeding my family so much sugar that I thought it best to try and cut down a bit by using sweetener instead, whilst slightly changing the ratios of the ingredients in accordance.</p><p>For the full recipe<em>, find it <a href="https://www.annameerson.com/healthyish-italian-apple-pie">here</a>, or click on the photo above :)</em></p><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://baboushka.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share BABOUSHKA by Anna Meerson&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://baboushka.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=share&amp;action=share"><span>Share BABOUSHKA by Anna Meerson</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h4><strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTb7_v8tKVk">WATCH THE LATEST BABOUSHKA INTERVIEW FEATURING KAM-BU</a></strong></h4><div id="youtube2-hTb7_v8tKVk" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;hTb7_v8tKVk&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/hTb7_v8tKVk?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrZ5zFe9hxOQAtwHRWxvamg">SUBSCRIBE TO BABOUSHKA&#8217;S YOUTUBE CHANNEL &amp; HELP US GROW</a></p><div><hr></div><h4><strong>THOUGHT(S) OF THE WEEK</strong></h4><p>As an independent, I&#8217;ve realised over the last few months how important it is to be well organised and put in place routines in order to avoid feeling overwhelmed and stay productive. About 2 months ago, I watched this video about time management, and one of the things the creator talks about is the idea of TIMEBLOCKING:</p><div id="youtube2-iONDebHX9qk" class="youtube-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;videoId&quot;:&quot;iONDebHX9qk&quot;,&quot;startTime&quot;:null,&quot;endTime&quot;:null}" data-component-name="Youtube2ToDOM"><div class="youtube-inner"><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/iONDebHX9qk?rel=0&amp;autoplay=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;enablejsapi=0" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" gesture="media" allow="autoplay; fullscreen" allowautoplay="true" allowfullscreen="true" width="728" height="409"></iframe></div></div><p>Since discovering time-blocking, I feel a lot less overwhelmed and a lot more in control of my daily tasks. It&#8217;s helped me to put in place daily routines and habits which I now not only stick to but do almost automatically through the process of repetition.</p><p>The essential thing for me with time-blocking is that it not only allows you to visualise your to-do list for the day, but it goes even further in helping you to map out when you&#8217;ll set time aside to do each specific task in your day. </p><p>This has allowed me to understand:</p><ul><li><p>How much time I have in a day</p></li><li><p>How much time each task I have to do actually takes</p></li><li><p>How much time I have previously wasted through not using it effectively.</p></li></ul><p>I&#8217;ll let you watch the full video, but here are some key helpful takeaways/notes I took from it:</p><ol><li><p>You own your time</p></li><li><p>Adopt an <em>&#8220;if it&#8217;s not a &#8220;Hell yeah!&#8221; it&#8217;s a &#8220;No&#8221;&#8221;</em> mentality (learning that it is ok to say no)</p></li><li><p>Set a &#8220;daily highlight&#8221; &#8211; 1 task that ABSOLUTELY NEEDS to get done so that you don&#8217;t drown in your to-do list. It&#8217;s about learning to create a hierarchy of what you need to do (or not) and how important each task is.</p></li><li><p>Time-blocking &#8211; the act of setting blocks of time in your calendar (visually) for each task that needs to be done.</p></li><li><p>PARKINSON&#8217;S LAW &#8211; The idea that whatever time you allow for a specific task, that task will inevitably have to take that long to in order to be completed.</p><ul><li><p>EXAMPLE: Instead of telling myself I have a whole day to do my newsletter, I will assign myself a block of 2 hours in a caf&#233; to do it. This pushes me to a time-constricted deadline and I am then less likely to procrastinate.</p></li></ul></li></ol><ol start="6"><li><p>Set yourself attainable small deadlines in order to achieve your bigger ones. <em>Baby steps.</em></p></li><li><p>Create blocks of <em>protected time </em>&#8211; these are blocks of time where you are &#8220;free&#8221; to do whatever you want e.g. go on phone 15 mins, read a book 30 mins, meditate 20 mins etc. - anything that isn&#8217;t &#8220;work&#8221; related.</p></li><li><p>Time is money &#8211; learn to delegate (if you can and have the means to &#8211; disclosure, <em>I currently cannot</em>)</p></li><li><p>Be satisfied if your time blocking doesn&#8217;t go exactly to plan. You&#8217;re human, it&#8217;s normal to not get everything perfect all the time :)</p></li></ol><div><hr></div><h3><strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0unoXRmFygv6pK13oBqYGV?si=f761fcfc70b44d40">THE BABOUSHKA PLAYLIST</a></strong></h3><iframe class="spotify-wrap playlist" data-attrs="{&quot;image&quot;:&quot;https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67706c0000bebb3b96fe9d1ba27b030b0ca611&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;BABOUSHKA&quot;,&quot;subtitle&quot;:&quot;By Anna Meerson&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;Playlist&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0unoXRmFygv6pK13oBqYGV&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;noScroll&quot;:false}" src="https://open.spotify.com/embed/playlist/0unoXRmFygv6pK13oBqYGV" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allowfullscreen="true" allow="encrypted-media" loading="lazy" data-component-name="Spotify2ToDOM"></iframe><p>Add the BABOUSHKA playlist to your Spotify - updated weekly.</p><div><hr></div><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://baboushka.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Inscrivez-vous&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading BABOUSHKA by Anna Meerson!

En ayant le courage de suivre sa passion, aujourd'hui, elle pousse non seulement les gens &#224; suivre les leurs, mais elle est maintenant devenue une &#8220;life-coach&#8221; renomm&#233;e mondialement dans ce domaine. Tout cela en ayant eu un diagnostique de TDAH&#8230; tout comme moi.</p><p>En tant que personne qui d&#233;marre sa propre entreprise, trouvant &#231;a parfois difficile de jongler entre tous les aspects divers d&#8217;une telle tache, le fait d&#8217;&#233;couter des conversations comme celle-ci me motivent et me pousse &#224; continuer.

my famous banana bread. I made it for the first time during lockdown in England, where my family and I devoured it&#8230;in one day.</p><p>For the little anecdote&#8230; when I started my first food Instagram account (long before I even had the idea of &#8203;&#8203;becoming a private chef or professionalising my passion), it was called @annoushka.eats and not <a href="https://www.instagram.com/baboushka.eats/">@baboushka.eats</a>, so this recipe was not called &#8220;Banana bread with a BABOUSHKA twist&#8221; but rather &#8220;Banana bread with an ANNOUSHKA twist&#8221;.</p><p>Nothing in this recipe has changed, it still contains as much flavour and above all, the same amount of love as the original&#8230;for the full recipe<em>, find it <a href="https://www.annameerson.com/banana-bread-with-a-baboushka-twist">here</a>, or click on the photo above :)</em></p><div><hr></div><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://baboushka.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Share BABOUSHKA by Anna Meerson&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://baboushka.substack.com/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share"><span>Share BABOUSHKA by Anna Meerson</span></a></p><div><hr></div><h4><strong>THOUGHT(S) OF THE WEEK</strong></h4><p>I&#8217;ve been getting into a habit of listening to <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7iQXmUT7XGuZSzAMjoNWlX?si=dec4c28aaf3a4f15">The Diary of a CEO</a> podcast everytime I go to the gym, as I find it really interesting and motivating. This week, I listened to <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/36iwTh6nY7UA7OsT20WE4t?si=254f249d339e4dc5">the episode from October 2022 featuring Marie Forleo</a>, and I found it to be really inspiring. </p><p>In short, she talks openly about starting her business at the age of 24 (the age I am right now), not really knowing how to do it, just by following her intuition and by not being afraid of setbacks and potential failures.

that he should make these ginger, lemon and turmeric ice-cubes to help boost his immune system. They are full of nutrients, antioxidants, and help boost your energy. I made these for the first time a few weeks ago, and have loved putting them in my teas, water, fresh orange juice and smoothies. The best part about this recipe (outside of the fact that it&#8217;s delicious&#8230;obviously) is that it&#8217;s <strong>no-waste.</strong></p><p>Here it is&#8230;</p><div><hr></div><h4><strong>GINGER, LEMON &amp; TURMERIC ICE-CUBES</strong></h4><p>INGREDIENTS:</p><ul><li><p>Fresh organic root ginger</p></li><li><p>Fresh lemon juice from 1-2 organic lemons</p></li><li><p>1-2 tbsp turmeric</p></li><li><p>Water</p></li></ul><div><hr></div><p>1// Rinse and cut the ginger (skin can be left on &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t really matter if it&#8217;s organic for this as you&#8217;ll sieve the liquid through) into approx. 2cm pieces &amp; juice the lemons well.</p><p>2// Add these to a blender with the turmeric</p><p>3// Blend it all together quickly on high speed (but not too much) with water (start off with enough to cover the mix, and progressively add more if need be) until nice and mushy.</p><p>4// Filter this mix through a sieve into a bowl, making sure to get all the liquid out.</p><p>5// Pour the liquid into ice-cube trays, and place in the freezer until frozen.</p><p>6// Transfer them to freezer bags (obviously leaving them in the freezer) and keep</p><div><hr></div><p>The <strong>no-waste</strong> part comes next, making homemade ginger powder with your leftovers :)</p><p>1// Turn on your oven to 100 degrees Celsius.</p><p>2// Add your leftover blended ginger, lemon, turmeric to an oven tray on top of baking paper</p><p>3// Put them in the heated oven for about 30-40 mins (checking every 10 mins &amp; move it around a bit until it is all dried up &#8211; make sure not to burn it)</p><p>4// Once the leftovers are dry, blend them all really finely and put the powder into a sterilised jar.</p><blockquote><p>You can use it as a topping for your next meal, for example on a salad or soup, or use it in baking to add a bit of a kick, or, like the ice cubes, infuse it in hot water to make an intense ginger tea.</p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h4><strong>THOUGHT(S) OF THE WEEK</strong></h4><p>Instead of chucking your butternut seeds in the bin when cooking, roast them in the oven at 180 degrees for 10-15 minutes (or until crispy) with some olive oil, salt and whatever spices you want &#8211; you&#8217;ll have yourself a healthier homemade crispy snack for the winter.</p><p>I&#8217;ve been doing my morning routine for the last 3 weeks (I started a few days before the new year start so that I don&#8217;t think about it as a new year resolution but more as a new habit to upkeep) where I meditate and write what I&#8217;m grateful for, and I really recommend it to anyone. I can get irritated easily and react quickly to some situations but since starting, I feel a lot calmer. If you haven&#8217;t meditated today &#8211; here&#8217;s your sign to DO IT! &amp; if you&#8217;re not one for meditation, try to answer these 3 questions:</p><p>1// Who am I grateful for &amp; why?</p><p>2// What is something that I&#8217;m grateful for but that I take for granted? (e.g. running water, a roof over your head etc.)</p><p>3// What event past/present/future are you grateful for and why?</p><div><hr></div><h3><strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0unoXRmFygv6pK13oBqYGV?si=f761fcfc70b44d40">THE BABOUSHKA PLAYLIST</a></strong></h3><p>Add the BABOUSHKA playlist to your Spotify!
