“Less is More” Make-Up

Naturally beautiful – The “less is more” makeup trend has gained a lot of popularity in recent years. Unlike heavy, heavy makeup that alters facial features and often looks unnatural, the minimalist look accentuates your natural beauty. This look focuses on flawless skin, light eyebrow accents and a subtle lipstick or lip gloss.

Another advantage of this trend is that it is easy to implement and requires less time. Using only a few products results in faster application and application. So perfect if you’re in a hurry in the morning!

Many people also prefer this look for health reasons. By avoiding heavy makeup, pores become less clogged and skin can breathe.

The ZOEVA make-up products are ideal for this. Natural, fresh colors and light textures help you to convince with healthy radiance! In this article we present you ZOEVA products, which should not be missing in your makeup bag!

Zoe Boikou in an interview: Exciting insights

In this interview we spoke with the founder of the successful beauty brand ZOEVA. The beauty brand has become an international force in recent years. We are excited about the insights that Zoe Boikou will give us into the genesis and success of ZOEVA. Look forward to an exciting conversation!

ZOEVA: meaning behind the name

FIV: Zoe is part of the name of your brand. Can you tell us the exciting story behind the name ZOEVA?

Zoe: ZOEVA is a symbiosis of two names: my name, Zoe, means “life” in Greek. Eve was the first woman in the Garden of Eden and is emblematic of femininity and feminine grace.

Aiming high with Ebay: How it all began

FIV: We heard it all started with ZOEVA on Ebay, what was the very first product you sold and is that product still available for purchase from ZOEVA today?

Zoe: My sister Barbara and I were born in Greece, but came to Germany with our family when we were very young. As sisters, we are inseparable. Our mother, a loving and strong woman, had a great impact on us and raised us to be confident, independent women. She also inspired us to live our dream, which eventually became ZOEVA.

The idea for ZOEVA was born when we realized that there were no affordable, high-quality makeup brushes on the market. We started in our own four walls, with very limited financial means at the time – but with a lot of passion. At first, we only sold on eBay, but then things progressed quickly. Now we have a portfolio of more than 300 products that we sell all over the world. My first product was a powder brush – a bestseller that we still have in our range today.

ZOEVA brushes: what makes them so special?

FIV: Many who hear ZOEVA immediately think of the incredible brushes. What makes ZOEVA’s brushes so special and different from others?

Zoe: With our products we want to encourage women to become aware of their individual beauty and live it out every day. It is our great concern to give every woman (or man) the opportunity to buy high quality products at an affordable price.

Each ZOEVA brush is a small work of art. Our brushes are created in at least 30 production steps, with unique precision craftsmanship and a great deal of attention to detail. Their high quality and shape retention make them an all-time favorite in every makeup kit.

Sourced from sustainable forests, our wooden handles are lacquered six times to make them extra durable. The brush hairs are knotted by hand. Our special pressing process ensures that the handle and brass ferrule remain permanently connected.

A look into the future: What now?

FIV: What are ZOEVA’s plans for the future, especially in terms of launching new products or expanding into new markets?

Zoe: For the next 10 years: To help as many women as possible through our various charity projects and to establish the ZOE Foundation. We also want to attract new customers worldwide with whom we share our love for makeup.

Integration of values

FIV: ZOEVA is known for its ethical and sustainable products. How do you implement these values in your company?

Zoe: One of our Brand Pillars is Affordable Luxury. For me, this is about much more than price alone. It’s about appealing to all the senses and making it possible to experience the little luxuries in everyday life. Our customers should feel the love and passion that goes into our products. About the affordable price, I just want to make these products accessible to as many people as possible.

Zoe Boikou: Her absolute must-haves

FIV: From brushes to makeup, ZOEVA has everything stylists and makeup enthusiasts love and need. What are your must-haves for a successful “less is more” make-up?

Zoe: Moisturizer, mascara and bronzer are my must-haves in my daily beauty routine. My favorite ZOEVA products are the Brow Jeanie – an eyebrow gel, the Ooh Lalash Lenght & Lift Tubing Mascara and I love the combination of my Velvet Love Lipstick with matching lip liner, which gives the lips extra contour. I even created my own signature color: a soft nude pink. Everyone who sees this color says: that’s Zoe! And of course, Suntorini Matte Bronzing Powder, for a naturally tanned, as if kissed by the Greek sun skin.

For applying my foundation, I choose the ZOEVA 104 Foundation Buffer. The soft synthetic hairs of the brush glide smoothly over the face, creating an even foundation. I accentuate and contour my cheek area with the ZOEVA 127 Blush & Contour Brush – a real multitasker from our range that perfectly places blush and bronzer thanks to its beveled shape. When it comes to eye make-up, it can be quick: I choose the ZOEVA 228 Crease Definer, which applies and blends eye shadow super easily.

Philipp’s passion: Vegan cooking

In this interview, Philipp talks to us about his passion for cooking and everything that goes with it. From a full fridge to an untidy kitchen. He tells us about his way to become a vegan. Through a harmless animal documentary he became aware that animals should not suffer for his food. Accordingly, he changed his way of life and documented this in his own book. If you also want to live vegan and don’t know how, check out his book! Learn more about Philipp here.

• Philipps YouTube
• Philipp’s Instagram

Full refrigerator and clean kitchen?

FIV: Hello dear Philipp, I’m glad that it worked out with the interview today. You are a successful food content creator and share tips with your community to become vegan step by step. Therefore, we would start directly with a question about your passion and that is that there are all kinds of different behaviors in people when it comes to cooking, baking and shopping. How does it look like for you? As a food content creator, is your fridge always full or empty?

Philipp: In fact, always very full, because I love shopping, take a lot of time, like to try things out and of course also have to make sure that everything is available for recipe shoots and the like.

Many zucchinis through spontaneous shopping

FIV: Since you have to have everything at home for recipe shoots and have to plan this somewhere, we are interested in whether you buy spontaneously or do you prefer to store?

Philipp: I like to go shopping spontaneously, which at the same time leads to the fact that the stock grows. My wife reminds me from time to time that “there are enough zucchinis” and then there are lots of dishes with zucchini over the next few days. We have built up a reassuring buffer of perishable foods such as flour, sugar and the like in the pantry.

FIV: Of course, you are in your kitchen for the most part for your content. Do people find your kitchen chaotic or clean and tidy?

Philipp: In the video, of course, always tidy, outside the filmable area mostly chaotically combined with camera & technical equipment. But every morning I clean up again, after all. Mostly.

“Everything nicely mashed together”

FIV: Now we would be interested to know if your dishes always look so perfect or does something go wrong sometimes?

Philipp: I definitely put more effort into styling when filming. In private, everything is thrown onto a plate and the best thing is to mix it all up. It looks nothing like Instagram, but it tastes good!

Signature food: yeast flakes

FIV: You know, everyone has their quirks or crazy things they do in the kitchen. Do you have any quirks that are particularly evident in cooking or baking?

Philipp: Due to ADHD, I sometimes forget essential things, such as putting quinoa in the quinoa pan. Otherwise, I have to put yeast flakes in everything, that’s my signature food, because they make everything cheesier.

Philipp’s way into veganism

FIV: On your social media channels you also run a vegan food blog, so we would like to know from you how long you have been living vegan, where it comes from and how long you have been interested in cooking, maybe it was already a topic in your childhood?

Philipp: My main platforms are definitely Instagram and YouTube, where you can find all my recipes and food tests. I became vegan a good 5 years ago and before that I was vegetarian for a while. An actually totally harmless TV documentary gave the impetus because it mentioned that pigs feel fear on the last way to the butcher. The sentence stuck and since then I didn’t want another living being to feel fear because of my food. Regarding cooking: I moved to Cologne right after graduating high school at 17 and was then on my own. I then realized that it gives me great pleasure to recreate my mother’s recipes or to experiment on my own. And so I became my own cook, and I still am within my family.

Knowledge sharing blog: Vegan is easy

FIV: Besides social media, what motivated you to start a blog as well?

Philipp: I love to share my knowledge and at that time I had no idea at all what works how vegan. Spoiler: It’s much easier than I thought. You just have to know how. And it’s exactly this “how” that I try to answer every day with my content.

FIV: Blogs are for the most part very personal, but they are also public and accessible to everyone. How private is your blog?

Philipp: My content all has a private personal touch, on Instagram you can also see how I live and a bit of everyday life with my wife, who is also a content creator.

Book: “I never wanted to be vegan”.

FIV: Besides everything you do, you’ve also written and published a book. For those who don’t know your book yet, what is it about?

Philipp: My book is called “I never wanted to be vegan” and I write about why vegetables became my meat anyway. I’m very proud of it, because it was mega accepted and also became a Spiegel bestseller directly in the first month. Basically it is a simple guide for all people who want to eat less or no more animals, based on the experiences of me, who consumed very, very much and very gladly meat and Co. Peppered with a lot of humor and without a raised forefinger.

FIV: How did it come about that you wanted to write a book? Was there or is there a particular goal that you wanted to achieve with your book?

Philipp: I studied journalism and love writing very much. After all these years, I noticed that there are numerous questions from the community that are very similar. In addition, I noticed that there is not yet such a kind of book with humor and my own experience report and exactly that would have helped me a lot at the time to get started myself. In my “5 Phases of Veganization” model, I also show how the veganization process normally goes, including challenges and solutions. My goal is very clear: I want to encourage more people to eat less and / or no animals, because it is no longer necessary in 2022 and not only saves a lot of suffering, but can also have a positive impact on the climate and the environment.

Philipp behind the camera

FIV: You and your wife show a part of your life on social media. Are there limits to what belongs on the Internet and what doesn’t?

Philipp: I belong on the Internet with what I do for myself and fabricate, that gives me joy. We keep our child out of the Internet 99.9% of the time, as well as neighbors, immediate surroundings and all people who don’t want to be seen.

FIV: Last but not least, we’d be interested to know, if you could rewind time, what would you change about your life (and maybe your channel)?

Philipp: It may sound stupid, but I’m here today precisely because I’ve had this experience in the past. And looking backwards too much leads to neck pain, so: Full speed ahead!

FIV: We thank you for your time and the great interview and wish you all the best on your way!

Women: Summer & winter for women

Stella McCartney’s collections especially for women are presented in the form of a fashion show. Her love of animals can also be seen to some extent in her fashion shows. For example, for the winter 2020 fashion show, her models shared the catwalk with giant animal figures. By doing this, the designer wanted to show that animals are part of every fashion show and collection, only in the case of her collection, they weren’t used to make handbags or anything like that.

Summer: fashion show in Norfolk, England

This fashion show took place at Houghton Hall in Norfolk, England. The models walk through a beautiful garden, between an avenue of trees, and along stunning sculptures. As a result, all the elements that were important to Stella McCartney for this collection are also present in the location of the fashion show: Nature and Art.

Winter: Fashion show

The music playing in the background is a bit reminiscent of the good old disco days and perfectly matches the models’ energetic walks. The glamorous and glitzy collection is inspired by the dazzling nightlife.” It was a collection born out of a desire to feel alive and bold,” says Stella McCartney. You immediately get the urge to finally get into the nightlife as well.

Commercials: Adidas, Kids & Unisex Fashion

In addition to a collection for women, Stella McCartney also regularly designs collections for children under the name “Stella Kids”, and also has its own line of unisex clothing, “Stella Shared”. She also collaborates with the sports brand “Adidas” since 2004. You can watch the latest commercials for “Stella Kids”, “Stella Shared”, and “Adidas by Stella” here.

Children’s clothing: Stella Kids

Laughing and in a good mood, the children show themselves wearing the latest collection called “A Journey to Space”. Fittingly, the children make alien and astronaut-like masks. An extraterrestrial collection that makes you dream of a journey into space.

Collaboration: Adidas by Stella

The “STELLASHINE” collection is all about shimmery, metallic colors: copper and silver. By using these cool and modern colors, Stella McCartney made sure that you can wear the clothes not only in the gym but also on the street. The fact that you simply cut a good figure in the clothes, whether jogging or skating, is demonstrated by the models in the commercial:

Collaboration: Stella McCartney Shared x Yoshitomo Nara

Together with Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara, Stella McCartney has designed a unisex collection that reflects the spirit of a youth revolution. Slogans like “We are the Punks” or “Change the history” adorn the garments. While the message behind the collection is serious, the soft pink tones and sweet drawings by Yoshitomo Nara give it a lightness. The commercial for the collection features model, and daughter of actor Jude Law, Iris Law together with her boyfriend Jyrrel Roberts. Here, too, there is a certain lightness, because the two laugh a lot, kiss, and just have fun in front of the camera.

Sustainability: eco-friendly fashion

Designer Stella McCartney always pays attention to animals and the environment when designing her collections, which is why she specializes in designing vegan and sustainable fashion. Stella McCartney’s environmental awareness and love of animals was practically laid in her cradle, because her parents Paul and Linda McCartney are known for their vegetarian lifestyle.

Innovation in fashion: vegan leather

Model Paris Jackson presents the revolutionary collection “MYLO”, which consists of completely vegan, mushroom-derived leather. In the commercial, she draws attention to how many animals are killed every year in the name of the fashion industry. And the number is frighteningly high.

Shoes of the future: The Loop Sneaker

The “Loop Shoe” is super stylish and simply ingenious. The sole is not glued to the shoe as usual, but only attached to it with clips / clips. This means that you can recycle and reuse the shoe and the sole separately, which is of course good for the environment. This running shoe is a game changer! Check out the technology of tomorrow in this video!

Interview: Stella McCartney about fashion

In this interview, Stella McCartney answers questions about her parents Paul and Linda McCartney and why sustainability is so important to her. Even though it’s not always easy to be an environmentally conscious designer, it’s important to her to have a positive impact. After all, the fashion industry itself is very polluting, Stella McCartney explains. She also talks about what it was like when talk show host Oprah Winfrey visited one of her fashion shows.

Stella McCartney: Fashion with intent – shoes, coats, bags & co.

Already at the age of thirteen, the young girl designed her first jacket. At sixteen she achieved an internship at the renowned fashion house Christian Lacroix. This was followed by the study of fashion design at Central Saint Martins College, which was also attended by designers such as Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood.

Her graduation in 1995 was crowned by a show that was not far from a professional fashion show of the long-established designers. Through her contacts in the world of fashion and being part of high society, insane opportunities opened up for McCartney. Her graduation collection was presented by model friends such as Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss. Musical accompaniment was provided by her father, Paul McCartney, with a song composed especially for the show.

Stella McCartney at Chloé : High tea meets cafe au lait

As early as 1997, the young designer was able to take the position of creative director at Chloé, which she held until 2001. But all beginnings are difficult, especially when you follow in the footsteps of the maestro Karl Lagerfeld and so the designer reaped heavy criticism at the beginning.

She was often accused of having any relevance in the fashion world only because of her famous name. However, her collections for Chloé proved the opposite. The feminine spirit for which the fashion house is known, the designer was able to reinterpret very well and proved great flair in playing with fabrics.

Especially in a time when the Erotic Chic look became big, such a feminine influenced house like Chloé does not have the easiest time. But Stella McCartney still managed to combine elegance and eroticism cleverly.

Founding of her own label: Stella McCartney is born – and vegetarian!

Stella McCartney’s time at Chloé came to an end in 2001, and that same year the talented fashion designer launched her own fashion label with the help of Kering, a luxury group that also owns Gucci, Saint Laurent and Balenciaga.

The new label had it all, because Miss McCartney had a plan. She herself had been a vegetarian by conviction since early childhood, but fashion without animal materials was often ostracized as cheap. Stella made it her goal to introduce animal-friendly alternatives to the luxury fashion world.

She succeeded in this endeavour because not only did she help to increase the fashion industry’s acceptance of leather and fur alternatives, she was an absolute pioneer for a market that grew more and more in the following years, gaining new followers and thus new customers.

Fashion shows: Catwalk with vegan fashion and “fake” leather

Of course, Stella McCartney was no stranger to the fashion world when she launched her first collection and was intimately familiar with Fashion Week in Paris. But to see your own name in the background and to have the creative freedom of your own label, which can then be taken directly to the catwalks of Paris without a stopover, is a completely different feeling. Here we present a few of the vegetarian collections individually.

Fashion show video spring/summer 2002: The 2000s are waiting

Elegant and feminine-sporty, that’s the best way to describe the creations of the collection. If you take a look at the pieces today, you immediately know you’re in the early 2000s: bright colors, mini tennis skirts and low-slung pants like you’d see on any Disney child star. Paired with less youthful, plunging necklines. Young and fresh, but still sexy. This is how many get their money’s worth.

Fashion show video spring/summer 2010: a new fashion decade begins

Wedge heels, peplums, strappy sandals, high waistbands, culottes and cropped pants: looking at the label’s fashion shows, it feels like every trend of the style era is represented somehow. Like a crystal ball that foresees the future of the fashion world and gives it right to us. This is what makes good fashion designers, that they are able to see what the buyers might find interesting.

Fashion Show Video Autumn/Winter 2020/21: New Fashion Trends?

If Stella McCartney’s sense of what will be fashionable at the beginning of the decade is as excellent as it has been in the past, then we can expect to see a lot of wide clothes in oversized looks. Skinny jeans can be relegated to the back of the wardrobe, because now wide legs are the order of the day, preferably in a set of matching top and bottom.

We don’t have to worry about colour blocking or anything like that, because monochrome is the new black. Otherwise we can look forward to big check patterns and still super fluffy teddy coats.

Fashion by Stella McCartney: Jackets, Cardigans & Co. without wool, leather or fur

From the career, to the overview of the past decades, now finally to the great products that the label offers, sometimes in cooperation with other brands. The designs should not only look good, but give the wearer self-confidence and femininity on the way.

Jackets: Oversize and faux fur

A vegetarian fashion label naturally has at least one faux fur coat on offer. But that’s not the end of it. Wool coats, teddy coats and loop coats can all be found in the label’s range. This will definitely put you in the middle of the fashion pack. All this without animal suffering. Compared to other brands, you don’t have to dig deep into your pocket for a piece from Stella McCartney either: Jackets and coats start at under €1000.

• Wool coat Erika
• Fur Free Fur Coat Adrienne
• Loop Jacket

Cardigans: cosy knitwear without sheep’s wool

The comfortable jackets are great all year round! In winter to make the outfit a little warmer and in summer for the balmy summer evenings on the terrace, in the park or even on the beach. As soon as the sun has disappeared, it gets a little cooler and a pleasant cardigan can remedy the situation. Especially for children the label offers colourful clothes.

• Oversized wool cardigan (ladies)
• Colourful cardigan (children)
• Lurex cardigan

Pants: silk, knit, cotton and more

Denim is, and perhaps forever will be, the everyday pants favorite. Except for sweatpants, of course. But fabric trousers are becoming more and more popular for work and also for going out. Stella McCartney’s range offers you bright trousers in fine fabrics that simply look good.

• Couture trousers Louise
• Silk trousers Lauryn
• Lightweight cashmere pants
• Compact knit pants

Adidas x Stella McCartney: Luxury sportswear like jackets, shorts and shoes

The sportswear industry has a big problem: functional clothing is made of plastics. These plastics take decades to centuries to disappear from the earth’s surface. But at the same time, this helps increase the durability and tear resistance of the garments.

Adidas and Stella McCartney have made it their joint mission to make sportswear a little more sustainable. This goal is achieved by making the fashionable pieces out of plastic that has been recycled in an elaborate process.

The collection includes:

• Sports pants
• Parkas
• Hoodies
• Sports bras
• West
• Shirts and much more…

Accessories: Must-have bags and shoes & pleasant perfumes

As with many great fashion labels, the product Stella McCartney is known for is a bag. The Falabella bag to be exact. But of course, that’s not the only premium accessory available from the brand. From bags to eyewear to fragrances, the choice is huge, so we’ve put together a small selection of favourites for you.

Bags and purses: Falabella Bag, Everyday Accessories and Extras for Evening Wear

In 2010, nine years after the label presented its collections for the first time, it landed an absolute bestseller that remains a must-have to this day: the Falabella Bag. The iconic bag is constantly reinterpreted in the collections, which allows it to manifest its cult status. Apart from that, you can also get other stylish bags and purses from the brand:

• Hobo bag
• Doctor Bag
• Crossbody bag
• Backpacks
• Dead

Shoes: fancy sneakers and boots made of vegan leather

From chic to comfortable to fancy: no matter what kind of shoe you’re looking for, Stella McCartney has a great shoe selection that caters to almost every taste. Of course, always in fashion and in tune with the times.

• Falabella Shoes
• Zipit Shoes
• Ankle boots with block heel
• Emilie shoes

Glasses: cool sunglasses, geometric or cat-eye

Your outfit is perfect, your eyeliner on fleek, there’s just one problem: the sun is burning your eyes and you don’t know what to do. Of course you could put on your sunglasses, but that would cause a few problems: You’d have to look in your bag for the sunglasses buried deep down, no one would be able to see your well-done eye makeup, and your old sunglasses don’t really go with your outfit either.

Stella McCartney remedies the situation with fashionable sunglasses:

• Monogram BCA Square Sunglasses
• Black Aviator Sunglasses
• Cate-Eye Sunglasses

Perfume: English rose gardens in the bottle

What does London smell like, or the Queen’s rose garden, or the endless expanses of the English countryside? There is probably no 100% answer to this question, but Stella McCartney definitely makes you think with her fragrances. So if you choose to wear the scent, you’re inspiring others to dream. Of fields of flowers and big dreams. The perfumes not only bring joy, but also wants to give the wearer confidence and strength.

All of this still with the idea of sustainability in mind. So just try one of the fragrances:

• Stella
• Stella Peony
• POP
• POP Bluebell

The 6 ultimate cooking tips for campers

Camping food is surprisingly delicious. Luckily, people don’t have to live on packaged sausages alone when they’re in the great outdoors. As long as you follow these six tips, we promise that it’s still possible to make a great meal on your next camping trip.

1. preparations in advance

You’ll save an incredible amount of time on site, and on unmotivated days, you’ll be thankful you prepared everything in advance. It’s hard enough to chop onions in a real kitchen, let alone with a dull knife on a rickety picnic table. Just do like the butchers at Whole Foods and prep your ingredients, or better yet, your entire meals, in advance. Take rib-sticking stews and hearty chilis in storage-friendly Ziplocs or stackable deli containers, and when the sun goes down, all you have to do is heat them up.

2. keep it simple – the strength lies in simplicity

Keep meals as simple as you can. As much as we like to show off our 5 star chef skills, culinary theatrics should be left at home as soon as you pull out of the driveway. Your family won’t judge you for sticking to simple one-pot meals like braised chicken thighs, but they will judge you for making them eat trail mix for dinner after your campfire soufflé experiment goes awry.

3. do not cook every day

You don’t need to cook every day, if you look around properly you’ll have plenty on your plate. Before you head out, pack a selection of foods that are ready for immediate consumption such as cured meats and a few pieces of hard cheese. It’s important that these survive in dry conditions, outside the fridge. Add to this a bottle of wine and the gourmet party can begin!

4. minimalism

Really only bring the bare essentials. Unlike your favorite nonstick skillet, a high-sided cast iron skillet needs no coddling, making it the perfect companion for outdoor cooking. It can fry bacon in the morning, reheat pot roast in the evening, and, yes, sear hot dogs, and when you’re done, all you have to do is wipe it down. That’s why don’t try to tick off the mile-long packing list, but sort your stuff neatly in advance and you’ll save on unnecessary weight, have less to worry about and less to clean.

5. cool box – Clever & Practical

Pack the contents of your cooler smartly.
Freezing all the meats you plan to cook will keep your cooler frosty once packed, and with a little planning, they’ll be perfectly thawed by the time you’re ready to munch on them. You might also consider having them thawed in advance. For one thing, they’ll be sturdier, you won’t have to worry about packing them with raw ingredients, and they’ll only need a quick reheat at dinner. Either way, it’s never a bad idea to have a thermometer on hand just to make sure your ice chest is a fridge-worthy temperature.

6. plan B – always be prepared

Dusk is not the best time to realize you’re completely incapable of building a fire. Take the portable butane stove with you just in case, and you won’t have to eat jerky for dinner.

Whether your idea of the perfect picnic is cooking in the wilderness or sipping a summer cocktail at a sidewalk cafe, we’ve got everything you need to spend your summer in the wild. Let the outdoor entertaining begin.

The 5 best recipes – Quick cooking

When you’re camping, hiking, and backpacking, you have a lot going on. Unfortunately, gourmet food isn’t usually one of them. It can be downright impossible to pack enough food and gear to make delicious and varied meals, right? Wrong! With the right know-how, you can make amazing meals without a lot of gear or ingredients. Check out these 25 easy camping recipes that use 5 ingredients or less and you’ll never cook the same way again

1. campfire scrambled eggs

I know what you’re thinking, “everyone scrambles eggs, it’s no big deal.” But hear me out. Most scrambled eggs that people make are either lifeless, disappointing, and just plain pitiful. Especially the eggs made while camping. But if you sublimely master this recipe, cloud-like eggs will be your reward.

Ingredients

• Eggs
• Water
• Clarified butter

Preparations

Put your ingredients in a sauce pan or pot. Not a frying pan, as you’re probably used to. Preferably, leave the yolks unbroken at first. If one breaks when you crack it, that’s fine. Start away from the fire and just stir to mix the egg whites and water. Then put the pot over the fire. Once the eggs are warm, you can break up the yolks and mix the eggs together. At this point, the butter should also start to melt. When the butter melts, take the pot off the heat and keep stirring. You want to keep taking the eggs off the heat and then turning them back on. We’re looking for a slow heat that barely cooks the eggs and melts the butter, but that’s about it. Usually it will be a routine of 30 seconds over the fire, 15 seconds off. Once the butter is completely melted and scrambled, you can leave the eggs on the fire a bit longer. Keep scrambling until the eggs just come together. Your eggs won’t seem done, and they’re not. But take them off the heat anyway. The residual heat in the pan will bring your eggs to perfection. By the way, you can cook your eggs this way at home, too.

2. grilled sweet potato fries

Fries are part of the holiday, relaxed times not prepare a 5-course meal is just the desire of many parents. children are always happy about fries and the sweet potato variant is definitely a bit healthier!

Ingredients

• 2 medium sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
• 1 clove of garlic, chopped
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 package Ranch Dry Mix

Preparation

Wash the sweet potatoes and dry them. Then cut them into lengthwise strips, about 1/3 inch wide on each side, so they look like French fries. The most important thing is that they are uniform so they can cook at the same time. If you wanted to make a crispier fry and you have the time, soak the fries in water for 30 minutes and then let them drain for an hour before proceeding. If not, that’s fine, they will still be delicious.

Take all the ingredients and mix them together in a bowl. We want an even distribution of all the yummy seasonings and dry mixture. Place these fries on a piece of aluminum foil set over a sheet pan. Place the pan on a grate over an open fire or on the center rack of a grill. We want to cook the potatoes and get the outside nice and crispy. Depending on your heat, you want about ten minutes per side, flipping once.

3. muesli over the campfire

Sure, you could make granola at home before you head out to the campsite. But when you make your granola fresh and over an open fire, you give it savory properties that add flavor, aroma, and texture.

Ingredients

• 6 cups rolled oats
• 2 cups pecans or almonds
• ½ cup vegetable oil
• ½ to 1 cup maple syrup
• 1 cup dried cranberries

Preparation

Get a cast iron skillet that’s nice and hot. Add your nuts and toss them around. It’s a good idea to take the pan off the heat while you toss them around to make sure they don’t burn. Once they start to have a nice nutty smell, you can add the oatmeal. Cook them slowly over the fire until they turn brown and nutty.

Remove the pan from the heat and add the vegetable oil and maple syrup. Depending on what consistency you like, you may want more or less syrup. Toss this together and when it’s completely mixed, pour it into a bowl. Add the dried cranberries and eat it warm. You can also keep it covered and it will last for more breakfasts.

4. potato egg scramble

This healthy breakfast is an easy camping meal and a great way to start the day. It’s prepared in a skillet and served four at a time.

Ingredients

• 2 medium diced potatoes
• 8 eggs, scrambled
• 1 chopped onion
• 2 chopped peppers (your choice)
• 2 tablespoons butter

Preparations

First, put 1 tablespoon of butter in your cast iron skillet and place it over your fire. Melt it and spread it everywhere.

Second, add the potatoes, onions and peppers. I like the potatoes in chunks and the onions and peppers chopped, but it’s your choice. Cook these until the potatoes are tender and the onions and peppers are nice and cooked. It takes about 20 minutes, but it depends on your fire.

Third, add the next tablespoon of butter and, once melted, add the eggs. The eggs will fill all the spaces between the potatoes, peppers and onions. But to ensure even cooking, cover the pot with a lid or aluminum foil and let it cook until the eggs are nicely cooked, about 4 minutes.

5. fish fillet fried in beer

Beer and fish does not fit at first sight? This recipe is a real treat and is also easy to prepare!

Ingredients

• 1 pound of fish fillets, half a pound per person, for two
• 1 cup buttermilk pancake mix
• 1 cup beer
• 1 cup flour
• ¼ cup cooking oil

Preparation

The first step is to open the beer and take a sip. We want the oil to be nice and hot when we’re done cooking our fish fillets, so we should warm it up now. Good job! Take another sip of beer!

Our fish fillets need to be cleaned and dried. You could buy these fish fillets at a store, but hopefully you caught them yourself, skinned them, cleaned them, deboned them, and dried them (because I can’t do that). Anyway, take your fish fillets and dredge them in the flour. We just want an even layer of flour all over the fish. Take another sip.

Now we want to mix the pancake mix and about ¾ cup of beer together. The rest of the beer is for you. Mix it with a fork until it’s smooth. Now we want to take our floured fish fillets and dip them into the batter. Again, we want an even coating.

Add these fish fillets to the oil and cook until the outside is golden, brown and delicious. When the outside is done, the inside should be nice, moist and shiny. Only cook two at a time as the pan is too full when frying is a big no-no.

When they’re all done (and you’ve eaten the first lightly fried fish fillet, just to make sure it’s done, and then finished the beer), let them drain a bit on a paper towel. After that, you can sprinkle them with some dill, pepper, or lemon, but it’s not really necessary. They’re pretty perfect just the way they are.

Barbecue – techniques for the best meat

Grilling season is upon us, so dust off those tongs and start cleaning those grates before

Red meat – How to grill red meat

The best cuts of meat, like rib eye, strip steak or filet mignon, have the highest marbled fat content, making them tastier, more tender and rich in meaty goodness. But they’re also the most expensive. You can get more bang for your buck with less expensive cuts like hanger steak, skirt steak and sirloin steak, which are flavorful and delicious when grilled. Here’s the secret: marinating the less expensive cuts makes them more tender, flavorful, and helps them retain moisture when cooked.

Always preheat your grill. Whether you are cooking over gas or charcoal briquettes, the grill must be fully preheated before cooking. Starting the grill 10 to 20 minutes ahead of time will help ensure proper cooking temperatures, which in turn will help prevent sticking or undercooking. Buy a cheap meat thermometer. The temperature gauge will tell you with great accuracy whether the meat is rare, medium-rare, medium or well done.

The position of your meat on the grill is also important. Steaks should be cooked quickly over the hotter area of the grill to get a good char. Searing the surface of the food at a high temperature results in the formation of a caramelized crust and is crucial for flavor development! For more on grilling red meat, especially the classic, steak, check out this article.

Fish – How to grill fish

Do not be afraid of grilled fish! Many types of fish can be grilled very well. Salmon, tuna and swordfish are all excellent grilled fish. Shrimp are also perfect to cook on the grill. You can put them all right on the grill without them falling apart. But other fish that are more on the flaky side are not suitable for grilling on the grill (cod, perch, haddock, snapper, etc.). Fortunately, there is a solution. Grill baskets are widely available, affordable, and allow you to prepare all kinds of fish on the grill. They help hold the fish together while giving it all the smoky, charred goodness of cooking over the flames. They are also great for grilling whole fish.

Cooking fish is a matter of taste. Some people like salmon and tuna grilled medium-rare, others prefer their seafood well done. As with chicken and steak, a thermometer will help you determine your preferred level of cooking without cutting into the meat.

Fish is better prepared if it is placed on a hot grill surface. This will prevent it from sticking to the grill grates, and it will cook very quickly in this place.

Chicken – How to grill chicken

Boneless chicken thighs are the moistest and most delicious part of the bird, in my opinion. But the breast can be just as tasty if prepared properly. Chicken breast tends to dry out if you don’t know what you’re doing. I also like to leave the skin on the breast, which makes the bird juicier and gives it more flavor.

Marinating also contributes a lot to the taste. The best marinade for a juicy chicken is very simple:

• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh lemongrass (from 2 stems)
• 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
• 1/2 cup asian fish sauce
• 2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/2 cup sugar

Ideally, you should marinate chicken overnight, but even a 2-3 hour soak makes a big difference in flavor and texture.

Chicken is best cooked on the more medium area of the grill that is not super, super hot. This way it can be fully cooked throughout and avoid burning the outside. The chicken is cooked when the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. However, you should also use a thermometer to make sure the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.

Cleaning – How to clean your barbecue

A grill that is ready to cook must be two things: clean and hot. Always clean your grill with a suitable brush before and after cooking. After cooking, clean the grill with a brush and then “season” it with a paper towel dabbed with cooking oil.

Buy a new, stiff metal brush every few months during grilling season to keep your brush fresh and effective. Old brushes can be dangerous. If they are overused and worn, the bristles can come out and end up in the grill or food.

Steak – Must Have on the Grill

How do you grill a perfect steak? That’s quite an art, if it’s not the taste, it’s the time when you take the steak off the grill. It should not be too dry, but also well done, a real challenge! Here are 5 tips for grilling your perfect steak.

1. Early salting of the steak for more intense taste
2. Allow steak to thaw before grilling
3. Sauté to intensify the flavor
4. Cut thicker steaks in half
5. You can’t save a dry steak

Early salting of the steak for more intense taste

There is a belief that salting meat too far in advance of cooking can draw moisture out. While it’s true that salt can draw moisture out on its own, it’s also true that over the course of 20 or 30 minutes, this can actually be a good thing, as the salt begins to dissolve in the little bit of moisture that has been drawn out.

So when you drop the steak on the hot grill grate, all the sugar and protein in the moisture mixes with the salt and any other seasonings you’ve added to create a perfectly crispy crust. The taste of that delicious crust is worth any moisture you can lose.

Allow steak to thaw before grilling

The goal is to grill steaks until they are brown, with a slight charring on the surface, while making sure the inside is cooked to perfection and juicy, right? However, if the steak is too cold, it can take so long for the inside to reach that perfect juiciness that the steak overcooks and becomes gray and dry. To remedy this, let steaks sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling them. Then they cook faster to the center and stay juicier.

Sauté to intensify the flavor

One rule of thumb that separates professional chefs from many home cooks is that chefs sear their steaks longer. This is because professionals know that you can capture aromas and flavors on the surface of steaks by searing them, so they let their steaks sizzle over direct heat until the surface is dark, dark brown. Don’t think that searing “traps the juices.” That’s a myth. But searing definitely makes a steak much tastier.

Cut thicker steaks in half

High heat is the only way to grill most steaks perfectly. If you see flare-ups, that’s the only time you’d really need to move them around on the grill. Some cuts of steak are so thick that grilling them over direct heat alone would cause them to burn on the outside and not achieve the desired internal firmness. Therefore, for steaks thicker than an inch, consider the sear-and-slide approach. After searing both sides nicely over direct high heat, move the steaks to a not-so-hot part of the grill, ideally over indirect heat, and finish the grilling process there.

You can’t save a dry steak

Steaks that are grilled at high heat lose moisture. This means that the fat and juices are literally squeezed out of the meat. Over time, as we have made steaks easier to digest, this is an unfortunate reality. Perhaps the most important part of preserving that moisture when grilling a steak is to remove it from the fire before it gets too dry.

Usually you only have a minute or two to execute this. When steaks go from medium rare to medium or medium to medium, it can go fast. You need to be vigilant to catch this window. Never walk away from a steak on the grill. Be careful because it is always better to remove a steak when it is undercooked than to let it overcook because you can always put it back on the grill.

Vegetarian – Top 5 recipes for campers

Are you a vegetarian camper? If the answer is yes, then we are here to help you. We understand how difficult it is to go camping and find simple, yet tasty vegetarian recipes. That’s exactly why we’ve compiled a list of the 5 best vegetarian recipes for camping!

If you haven’t tried smoked sea salt on your grilled veggies – You’re really missing out!

1. Pasta Primavera
2. Chili lime corn on the cob
3. Grilled tofu & soba noodles
4. BBQ Baked Sweet Potatoes
5. Campfire Cake

Pasta Primavera

We’re suckers for pasta, so this was right up our alley. This is such a simple recipe and it turned out perfect in the Dutch oven. We found that using 17 coals on top and 14 on the bottom was perfect for it.

Ingredients

• 1 jar of pasta sauce
• 1 package mozzarella cheese
• 450 g any vegetables
• 1 package noodles
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Preparation

Combine pasta sauce and half of the mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese in a large bowl. Then cook the vegetables and pasta. Then mix everything together preferably in a casserole dish and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella cheese. Finally, cover with aluminum foil and bake in a Dutch oven for 25 minutes.

Chili lime corn on the cob

Corn on the cob is such a traditional food. This recipe gives it a little twist and makes it quite tasty. This recipe doesn’t need to be adapted because it’s already campsite. If you’re cooking directly over the campfire grate, be sure to wrap the corn on the cob in aluminum foil or clean the grate well.

Ingredients

• 4 peeled corn on the cob
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon grated lime zest
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Preparations

Put the corn in a bowl, cover the bowl with wax paper and put it over the fire. In the same way, put the butter in another bowl and wait for it to melt. Then stir in the chili powder, lime zest, salt and pepper and finally spread the butter mixture evenly over the cooked corn.

Grilled tofu & soba noodles

We made this dish for dinner and our family loved it! To make it as easy as possible for us at the campsite, we did a lot of the prep work ahead of time; we cooked the pasta and made the dressing. We used the campfire grill grate to grill the tofu and it turned out pretty darn tasty! Click here for the recipe.

Ingredients

• 340g dried soba noodles
• 180 ml extra virgin olive oil
• 450g extra firm tofu (drained and patted dry)
• 3 medium garlic cloves
• 3/4 teaspoon fine-grained sea salt
• 3 small/medium shallots
• 3 small Serrano peppers (chopped)
• 1 bunch (about 4 handfuls) coriander (stems trimmed)
• 1 teaspoon natural cane sugar (or brown sugar)
• 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice

Preparation

First, cook the soba noodles according to package directions, salt them generously, and then rinse them with water and oil. You can leave them in a large plastic bag in the fridge overnight until you’re ready to use them!

The dressing is a little more challenging. Crush the garlic and salt into a paste, then add in the shallots one at a time, as well as the peppers and cilantro, a handful at a time. The mixture should be fairly smooth. Add the sugar and then the lime juice, before gradually whisking in the olive oil. Taste and adjust the flavors if necessary.

Cut the tofu into slabs, carefully rub with olive oil and place on a medium-hot grill. Cook until golden brown on one side, flip and grill on the other side as well.

To assemble, sprinkle the soba noodles with a good amount of the dressing, leaving enough to drizzle generously over the tofu. Place the tofu on top of the noodles and drizzle with more dressing.

BBQ Baked Sweet Potatoes

This was another super simple yet tasty recipe. There’s just something about potatoes cooked in aluminum foil that makes them extra tasty. No prep is even needed in advance, just throw in some aluminum foil and cook.

Ingredients

• 8 medium sweet potatoes
• 4 teaspoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Greek yogurt
• 1 spring onion sliced

Preparation

Rub each potato with a little oil and salt, then wrap it in a double layer of foil.

As soon as the grill coals glow red, place the potatoes directly on them. Cook for 15 mins, turning with tongs, then cook for another 15 mins. Remove one, unwrap it and check that it is cooked through.

Peel the top of the foil off each potato, cut open and cover with a spoonful of yoghurt and a few slices of spring onion.

Campfire Cake

Not only was this recipe fun to make, but it turned out delicious! We had never heard of this type of cooking before, so it was interesting to try. Don’t worry, we saved all the oranges we cut out and ate them throughout the day. Nothing needs to be made ahead of time, so this is a pretty easy recipe for a weekend of camping.

Ingredients

• 4 oranges
• 150 g dark chocolate
• 100 g butter
• 2 eggs
• 60 g sugar
• 40 g flour

Preparation

First you have to cut a slice off the top of the orange. Then remove the flesh from the orange. Simply fill the muffin batter into the orange. Put the cap back on and wrap it in aluminium foil. Then put them in the embers, wait about 15 minutes, carefully take them out and let them cool down a bit.

Healthy nutrition with smoothies & bowls

FIV: The trend of healthy eating with smoothies and bowls for everyday is on the rise among young people. What is Wholey and how does Wholey work?

We are a young Berlin start-up offering ready-to-blend smoothies, vegan shakes and smoothie bowls. Our products are made from all-natural organic ingredients, are flash-frozen for the best vitamin and nutrient content and can be prepared at home in the blender in no time. Wholey is a healthy in-between snack and an Instagrammable Bali breakfast from your own freezer.

Vegan Bowls & Ingredients

FIV: People often talk about healthy smoothies in a variety of colors and sometimes even vegan. What are the ingredients of Wholey products?

It is important to us that all our products are made from organic and Demeter quality ingredients, as they not only have a higher content of plants’ own protective substances and therefore more nutrients, but are grown completely without chemical pollution. In addition, our fruits are picked at the highest level of ripeness – that is, enriched with the most vitamins – and then directly shock-frozen. In addition to fruits and various vegetables, such as cauliflower or zucchini, we also use selected superfoods (e.g. açaí, spirulina and maca), as well as nuts and herbs. This not only makes our products taste interesting and balanced, but also provides a wide range of important minerals and nutrients.

FIV: Your smoothies are frozen, why? And what are supercubes? And ready-to-blend smoothies?

Ready-to-blend means that our products are pre-portioned, so all you need is a little water and a blender to make our delicious smoothies and smoothie bowls. Our products are easily stored in the freezer and offer a shelf life of up to 9 months, so you can always have a healthy snack on hand without having to do a lot of shopping or fruit chopping. As mentioned earlier, our flash frozen ingredients have even more vitamins than commercially available fruit – the only thing fresher is freshly picked!

Our Supercubes are handmade in our Berlin factory and contain superfoods, coconut puree or acai puree and give the different varieties an extra taste and energy boost.

Start-Up: Wholey Concept & Experience

FIV: You are former competitive athletes who, with your experience, decided to create Wholey. How did the idea come about and how did you decide on your products? Since 2016 you have been producing smoothies and since February 2020 there are also bowls. How is the whole concept developing, how are your customers reacting to it?

The idea for our smoothies came to us because we ourselves were often faced with the problem of eating healthy and balanced with our busy schedules. Often we simply don’t have the time to stand in the kitchen for a long time and cook ahead or prepare fresh meals. Smoothies and shakes were therefore often our first choice when we were on the go or had a lot to do. However, many ready-made products on the market have a high sugar content due to the addition of juices or are heated for a long time – and therefore lack good vitamins. We wanted to do better!

In addition to our Smoothies & Shakes, since the beginning of the year there are also our Smoothies Bowls – for all those who prefer to spoon instead of drink! This was a logical extension of the range, also because we often already prepared our smoothies as bowls ourselves. Our customers especially love the super exciting Ocean Bowl with blue spirulina. You will also soon discover something new from Wholey away from the frozen food counter. Be curious.

FIV: There are now several brands on the market that produce smoothies. What makes Wholey stand out? Why should people try your products and subscribe?

Well, our products are simply tastier and better, that’s for sure. No, but compared to many other ready-made smoothies, our products really have more to offer! The fact that we only use organic fruit and vegetables alone makes us stand out from the crowd. And thanks to our variety of flavours, we have something for every taste: from the healthy green smoothie (The Real Green), to the slightly spicy variant (Ginger Ninja) or the berry variants such as Ban & Berries, to our vegan shakes such as the Choc Norris, which is particularly popular with children.

FIV: Some eat their bowl comfortably at home, others prefer to take a smoothie to go. How long does it take to prepare a smoothie and what should you bear in mind?

Depending on the blender power, our smoothies can be prepared within 45 to 90 seconds. The bowl also takes about the same amount of time. However, there are different preferences when it comes to the perfect consistency of a smoothie bowl: Some like it a little firmer and creamier, others a little more liquid. Those who prefer it more liquid should mix the bowl a little longer and also prepare it with more liquid. Everyone can be creative with the toppings. From berries to granola, nut puree and superfoods, there are no limits.

FIV: 4 reasons why you should test Wholey:

• Our bowls are the perfect start to the day!
• You get the full load of vitamins & nutrients and it tastes delicious too.
• You can’t make a smoothie any faster or easier than this.
• Our products will definitely boost your Instagram game – we promise!

Sustainability in food

FIV: The topic of sustainability is playing an important role for more and more people. How can people pay attention to this with your products?

At Wholey, we take the topic of sustainability very seriously and have recently added someone to our team who specializes in this very area and is picking apart every nook and cranny of our company. We are currently working hard on the issue and actively trying to get better and better at this. The holistic Wholey approach of a vegan diet based on organic products is already playing a big role and our packaging is also becoming more sustainable. Our bowl cartons can be disposed of directly in the waste paper bin and are completely recyclable, our insulation is made of straw and can therefore be disposed of in the organic bin, and for our smoothies we will soon switch to an even better solution.

We thank Wholey for the interview and can’t wait to test the bowls!

NA-KD: sustainable and without animal testing – new products

In view of the increasing awareness of the brand’s target group regarding sustainability and animal welfare, NA-KD advocated that NKD / BTY was developed without animal testing and with vegan ingredients. As a social first brand NA-KD uses its strong influencer relationships to bring NKD / BTY to the market. NA-KD works with 300 macro and micro influencers to create content and test the products with another 1000 influencers and customers. The goal is to have real people tell the brand story. With an ethos that focuses on individual beauty, it was important for the brand to show what this means to different people. This concept is also highlighted in the official launch campaign, which involves well-known influencers and NA-KD customers from all over Europe.

“Entering the world of cosmetics is a natural extension of our brand. This is a product area that perfectly complements our current fashion range and fits perfectly with our target group. For us, the customers are always at the centre of what we do. As one of the most watched video categories on YouTube, the cosmetics section also gives us the opportunity to further inspire, educate and entertain our customers.

Funnypilgrim , whose real name is Mira, has her birthday on 04 December. She is about 1.56 m tall.  Mira does not only share her numerous beauty tips with you, so that you have instructions how to implement your desired look, but she also shares many helpful Life Hacks which she demonstrates in front of the camera for furnishing and designing her apartment. She’s also been living vegan for several years now and likes to share her experiences, recipes and shopping tips through her social media channels and blog.

Friends & Family: Private Life of the Influencerin

The only known family member of Mira is Peaches, her four-legged roommate. Peaches is a cat and has her own instagram channel with several thousand followers, on which Mira interprets the thoughts of Peaches. If you want to see sweet and funny pictures and videos of the playful, mackerel cat, you should definitely check out her Instagram profile. Other relatives, be they father, mother or possibly existing siblings, are deliberately kept out of the public eye by Mira. The influencer is of the opinion that she otherwise grants many private insights into her life and wants to protect her boyfriend, other friends and her family from any unwanted glances. Anyone who is in the public eye whether as an influencer, musician or professional athlete is sooner or later faced with the choice of showing his followers his relationship, friends and family or not. We understand it well if you only present yourself to your followers.

Beauty & Fitness: Workouts & vegan nutrition of the Influencerin

Although Mira is not a fitness influencer, she is very sporty in her private life. In addition to bicycle trips and regular jogging, the influencer also does strength workouts at home to stay in shape and feel comfortable. Her very healthy and vitamin-rich diet is also beneficial for her top figure. Not only through her contributions on Youtube, Instagram and her blog her fans get a good insight into her healthy diet. As a vegan she is also very creative about her daily dishes. Nothing monotonous about her, she doesn’t just eat tofu, on the contrary – you hardly see more colourful and tasty food anywhere else. Her shoulder-length hair has probably been dyed blonde for many years now and we think she has found the right look for her face type. She prefers to wear her hair open with slightly wavy hair. Mira usually wears a very natural-looking make-up, but she never gives up her compact powder and lip care.
