I’ve been a bit quiet here (with posts) so to make I’ve been a bit quiet here (with posts) so to make it up, a really cool announcement: 🌱 The world’s first plastic-free sports sock is here and I’ve put them to the test! If you’ve been here for a while, you know movement, sustainability and feeling good in your own body are recurring themes in my life. So when @boldwill told me they’d finally cracked something the sportswear world has been trying (and failing) to do for decades, I was instantly curious. A sock with stretch… without plastic? No nylon, no elastane, no hidden blends? Turns out: yes. After three years of development and more than fifty prototypes, Boldwill and Forebel launched the first truly plastic-free sports sock, made from GOTS-certified organic cotton and natural rubber, produced in a highly experienced factory in Turkey. I’ve been wearing Boldwill for years, for everything from boxing and yoga to hiking, barre, pilates and ballet. The clothes last, they feel good and they keep up with my very mixed training routine. So yes, the bar was high. And the socks? They’re excellent. Exactly what I want from sportswear: simple, comfortable and better for the planet. Another reason I love this launch: every purchase supports SockbySock, a Dutch NGO tackling overproduction in the textile industry and donating rescued socks to charities. So you’re not just buying a pair, you’re backing two Dutch organisations working towards a cleaner, fairer system. And because I know many of you love a little treat: Use NINAROSA10 for 10% off the entire Boldwill collection, including the new socks. Perfect for yourself, or as a gift for someone who will inevitably promise to “start training again in January”. I’ve already gifted a pair to my brother and yes… he’s fully converted. 🧦 Order your socks (or their other favourites) via Boldwill and let me know what you think! PS this shoot was SO much fun! #Boldwill #SustainableSportswear #PlasticFree #Activewear #Ad #PlasticFreeFashion #SportswearReinvented #NetherlandsBrand
‼ Calling all Dutchies to donate for all the natur ‼ Calling all Dutchies to donate for all the natural disasters happening in Sri Lanka. Find the open Tikkie in my bio. The storm and resulting disasters have caused: 🪦 479 deaths, most in Kandy 😢 350 people remain missing 😔 Over 1.6 million people have been affected 🏚️ Nearly 189,000 have been relocated to 1,347 safety centres (According to the Disaster Management Centre (DMC), as of 4 December) My accommodation has a cash collection point that goes directly to the people and the organisations helping them. Please consider a small donations, anything can help! It feels strange to be here in the sunny south of Sri Lanka, wondering what bikini to wear, while there is so much going on just a few hours up north from here. I want to do something. If you want to see the horrible flooding houses etc. you can go look them up. I prefered to share an image that highlights the contrast. I think the worst thing I (and other tourists) can do is to leave the country and not spend any money. I was going to go to Ella and Kandy tomorrow but with the expected rain, I have decided to stay in the safe coast for a bit longer. I will keep partially my accommodation reservations to decrease the financial suffering. But I can’t do it alone. Donate anything you can miss via the link in bio. Even if it’s €1,-. If all my followers would donate just €1,- that’d be €1.750,- and that can go a long way in delivering: 🍞 Essential food supplies for displaced families 💧 Clean water and sanitary, to prevent diseases ⛑️ Emergency medical aid for the injured and vulnerable 🏠 Temporary shelter and relief kits for those who lost everything Find link in bio! Many thanks x #prayforsrilanka
Last week, a poem at the end of a yoga session was Last week, a poem at the end of a yoga session was meant to bring peace. Instead, it got me thinking—hard. The themes of resting, scoping responsibility, overwhelm, and focus have been a hot topic of discussion recently - with friends, myself (love this), and in a healing last week. “By loving myself and taking time to rest I contribute positively to the world” Is the goal for 2025 that I set. For context: I’m on a 3.5-month workation in Latin America—working mornings, exploring afternoons & weekends. I just started a new 16h/week project, alongside freelancing and business mentorship. And while digital nomadism isn’t new to me, a few crucial factors have changed: time difference is now not in my favour (when I start at 6am, I am already 3 hours behind), I have a real home base with boyfriend + house, and I am doing 3 countries with several destinations, instead of the usual temporary home base (moving every week or less, instead of every 2 months) This was supposed to be a time of doing less. Instead, I’ve never been busier. And truthfully? I love everything I do—work, projects, adventure, sports, social life, creative pursuits. I thrive on productivity and being praised for it. But… I feel rushed. There’s no room for error. A bad night’s sleep or getting sick? My ambitious to-do list suffers, and I feel awful. 💭 What if I could feel the same joy… while doing half the activities?
💭 What if I embraced routine instead of chasing constant newness?
💭 What if I let things happen, instead of planning every moment? For the next months, my focus is clear:
✨ Doing less.
✨ Letting things unfold.
✨ Prioritising what truly matters.
✨ Resting—whatever that means for me.
✨ Simply being a human. Who’s with me?
It took me a close to burnout to realise: I am on It took me a close to burnout to realise: I am only responsible for me and what I can do. Of course I care a looooottt about the planet and my loved ones, as well as about people and animals in general. Don’t get me wrong. But recently, it felt like such a heavy weight to carry. Why wasn’t everyone playing their part in making this a peaceful and green planet? Getting the most out of their life, so they can serve people, animals, and generally the planet? It made me upset, to worry about things that were not in my power at all. My good intentions and motivation started to be replaced by sourness and anger. I became more and more judgemental and mostly sad. Today, I have decided to make a switch. While I still passionately help others and take a leader role everywhere I go, I will no longer feel responsible for other peoples actions, how they behave, what they do and not do. The last thing this planet needs is for passionate people with good intentions get a burnout or lose their faith. So I take my responsibility here to set my boundaries. Because there is a lot to work on, that is actually right within my responsibility. I am also not perfect at all in a sustainable and socially responsible way. Time to focus on that!
🌱 I think Boldwill (new name for “Iron Roots”) is 🌱 I think Boldwill (new name for “Iron Roots”) is gonna conquer the world of (sustainable) sports wear - and they’re well on their way to do so. Did you know they’ll be the first company IN THE WORLD to produce socks without any plastic? 😱🧦 In the world!!! I’ve seen and felt them and I can tell you: we are in for a treat! Active wear that’s good for humans and the planet is useful in SO many ways, I think it’s an essential. 🤾🏽‍♀️ I wear it on my hikes here in Peru 🇵🇪, but also just during city tours, or whenever I am on a long bus ride. Back home, it’s my go to outfit for all the Urban sports Club workouts I do - Pilates, yoga, boxing, etc. 🤸🏽‍♀️ Some reasons why I just love this brand: 💚 It’s a The Hague based brand, runned by two super passionate entrepreneurs that are intrinsically motivated to make this world a better place 💚 I’ve been wearing their clothes for years and they’re still in perfect shape 💚 They approach sustainability holistic. So not just staying away from plastic as much as possible, but creating timeless pieces that are easy to combine, so you won’t need as many 💚 They spend a lottttt of time developing their products and launch slowly. Quality not quantity 💚 When they had legal issues with their old name, they decided to take the opportunity to innovate the brand as a whole, instead of giving up 💚 There’s so much attention to detail, for example, they’re using a little custom developed nature inspired scent on the clothes when they ship them 💚 Last but not least: The clothes are just so comfy and high quality So don’t waste any time and go order yours with NINAROSA10 💕 #Boldwill #Activewear #SustainableClothing #Sponsorship
