The 100-Day Meno Master Plan
Quickly reach your ideal weight during menopause
During menopause, many women feel like they’re losing control over their bodies. Existing eating habits no longer work, and the weight seems to pile on effortlessly. This happened to presenter, former model, and photographer Paulien Huizinga as well. Together with nutrition expert Nanneke Schreurs, she developed a practical plan based on nutrition and exercise that you can implement yourself.
The 100-Day Meno Master Plan is a toolbox filled with strategies for women who want to take action against menopause weight gain. But it’s not just about losing weight - it’s about gaining more energy, improving your mood, and reducing menopause symptoms.
Paulien Huizinga is a Dutch television presenter and former Miss Universe Netherlands. Nanneke Schreurs is a nutrition expert specializing in healthy eating and lifestyle.

Tasty & Important: Cholesterol
5 steps and 50 dishes towards a better cholesterol balance
"High cholesterol." Sooner or later, many people come into contact with this silent killer. It usually involves an imbalanced cholesterol level: too much bad cholesterol compared to the good (yes, that exists too). Certain eating habits can help with this, potentially saving you from a lot of trouble. The right food can even repair some of the damage your body has previously sustained. And if you can incorporate that food into delicious dishes, then such an approach is not a chore, but a pleasure!
Sisters Annemieke Jansen and Janine Jansen are fervent advocates of the Mediterranean diet and have already written several books about this topic. Together, they show that a healthy diet can be tasty as well as feasible. Annemieke is a cardiologist. Janine works as a graphic designer, recipe maker, food stylist and photographer.

With clear step-by-step instructions and colourful photos and illustrations, you can crochet them all and create your own little street at home, or mix and match these elements to design your dream house.
The houses are approximately 20 cm tall and can stand on their own.

I Feel What I Feel Healing words for difficult moments
In the chaos of everyday life, we rarely pause to reflect on what’s happening inside us. We keep moving forward, to the next appointment, the next obstacle, the next checkbox on our to-do list. We prefer to turn away from what feels difficult, sad, or uncomfortable. But the more we suppress our feelings, the greater the backlash will be.
I Feel What I Feel extends a hand to guide you toward self-acceptance. Filled with beautiful poems to read and reread, and illustrations that leave you in awe, this book is designed to be read cover to cover or opened randomly in the middle. It’s a book to cherish and a perfect gift

Creative Writing
52 insights and exercises to train your writing skills
With this book in hand, every aspiring writer will feel inspired to fill pages with words (or, of course, type furiously in a Word document). Along the way, you’ll discover and develop your own writing style. Not only will you gain insights into creative processes, but you’ll also learn more about various writing techniques and skills.
A few (writing) aspects covered include:
• How do you create a compelling narrative style?
• How do you develop a character in depth?
• How do you decide which style to use?
• How do you ask for feedback and edit effectively?
• How is writing connected to film, music, and painting?
Forget traditional writing lessons and dive into a creative space where old ways of thinking make room for fresh perspectives. You’ll learn that courage, the willingness to fail, writing discipline, and consistency are far more important than innate talent. Creativity, after all, needs to be unleashed, not taught.
