🎇🥂FOMO Berlin - New Year, New Adventures, New FOMO | 6.01 - 13.01

Hey Berliners 🎄 

🎉 Happy New Year, everyone! Hope you all kicked off 2025 in style!

In true FOMO fashion, I packed it all in: hosted a small New Year’s brunch to catch up with old friends before ditching the Berlin winter, hit four Silvester events, and went straight from the last party at 6 AM to the airport. First stop? Nigeria for a quick detour to visit Grandma, and then it’s Cape Town next week! Let’s goooo! ✈️🔥

How was your New Year’s Eve? 🎇 Have you already found time for your yearly reflection and goal-setting? I’ll admit—I’m not quite done yet, either. But one thing I know for sure: every will definitely remain a part of my healthy habits in 2025. 🌱✨ What about you?

FOMO Sponsor: Healthy start into the year with every 🌱

💚 Ready to OWN 2025 with a fit, healthy, and unstoppable vibe? 🙌

Last year, I discovered every, and it’s been a total game-changer for me! Let's say, I am ready for Cape Town 😎

Working from home or juggling back-to-back meetings, it’s so easy to fall into the trap of fast food and 2-for-1 deals (guilty 🙈). But now, with 30+ insanely delicious plant-based bowls, every makes healthy eating simple and enjoyable. Packed with protein, fiber, and all the nutrients I need, these meals are ready in just 10 minutes.

And I do enjoy cooking—I just didn’t always have the time. Now, I’ve embraced what I call “speed cooking,” where I take their meals and add my own little twist. It’s quick, healthy, and still lets me get creative in the kitchen. Honestly, what more could I ask for?

Cape Town season? Activated. Healthy habits? Simplified. No need to get FOMO—get 30% OFF your first order + 15% OFF the next 3 with code EVERYFOMO. You’ll thank me later! 😘 

👉 Try out every!
