The war diary of Yevgenia Belorusets

We are currently running a campaign to raise money for Ukrain. The money will go to the 11 organisations behind the Giro555 appeal to supply accommodation, medical care and clean water to people fleeing the war. Yet we still feel like we are unable to act fully effectively.

De Zure Bom's Kerststol recipe

As these last weeks of 2021 are again spent in lockdown, we focus on the things close to us: friends, family and, of course, food! We all know that baking bread was and probably still is a big 'lockdown-trend', but have you tried making your own Christmas 'kerststol'?

Stop plant-based censorship!

“Would you like your coffee with cow milk or oat milk?“ It’s a question you often hear nowadays in coffee shops. It is almost a given that everyone, at both our Flagship store and our head office, prefers a plant-based alternative to cow milk. We love some creamy oat milk in our coffee in the morning, but a great deal could change for these beloved products in the near future…

You want a Christmas card!? Here’s your Christmas card!

You want a Christmas card!? Here’s your Christmas card!

You might have noticed that here at SUSAN BIJL we are pretty pretty pretty big fans of the 90’s Sitcom Seinfeld. If you haven’t heard of Seinfeld, it’s hard to really describe the hilarious series in words. It originated from an idea by comedians Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld to make ‘a show about nothing’ and aired from 1989 until 1998 on NBC.

Two generations: one goal

About Endlessness: Sad and sweet

One of the things we probably missed most during the lock-down was going to the movies. In our fast-paced city life, it’s nice to sit in the dark with a complete focus on a story. It’s our little escape, and Netflix or other home options couldn’t offer the same experience....

White Homework

We want to take our responsibility in educating ourselves and our followers about anti-racism. We are white, and we know many of our followers are too. Although we believe very few people want to be racist, we know that racial dynamics are complex and deeply rooted in our western society.

Dutch tv shows that we enjoy

As the dust settles of the first wave of COVID-19, societies slowly crawl back out of quarantine. However, for the time to come, we will probably spend more time at home than in pre-corona times, as many of us will be forced to reduce their holiday plans to staycations. These are the Dutch television shows that bring colour to life between four walls.
