Brechje

I am Brechje. I live in Amsterdam with Jason and our son Henry. During my pregnancy in 2019, I rediscovered my creativity.

I love working and creating something from scratch. I love both the process of creating something as well as the enjoyment to use my homemade products.

My creativity

My creativity is expressed in sewing and making my own skincare and haircare products. On this blog, I will mainly share my journey and joy in making my own skincare and haircare products. There will be small sewing projects, but only ones that add to my skincare routine. Like these reusable facial rounds.

Making my own skincare

I started making my own skincare in 2020, I am still learning a lot and it is a steep learning curve. What really excites me is that in addition to my creativity, it also tickles my scientific side. I want to learn more about ingredients, the chemistry behind formulating skincare and how to make your own skincare in a healthy and safe way.

This blog is a way for me to document my journey and to store all the information and formulations in one place. And I hope it helps you as well.

Simple moments of happiness

The name of the blog “Simple Moments of Happiness”, refers to the enjoyment of creating something new by hand and the joy I feel when I am able to use my own homemade products. It’s about the small things in life that make you smile.
