August birchbox unboxing (and first youtube video!)

So, for my august birchbox I decided to do something different… Seeing as I missed the july one and honestly don’t know when I’ll get around to post about that one, I decided to go ahead and start with the august box and unbox it in a video (which I really enjoyed making) as my official youtube cherry-popping video! This is actually…

Hair-experiment: the undercut

As the title suggest, I couldn’t help myself. After scanning Pinterest for some hairspiration, I was completely mesmerised by the undercut. But since my boyfriend had just recovered from the grey hair-shock (sorry babes!), I thought I’d better wait a couple of months. Of course, I didn’t. Some weeks had passed when a friend of ours showed up with exactly my wished hairdo! I loved it and almost…

My life lately (personal update)

Some of you might be wondering where the hell I went the past weeks. Well, suffice it to say my life has been one big rollercoaster and yes, sometimes even a classroom example of what goes around comes around, topped off with some ‘it all works out in the end’. These past two months I have been through some of the worst and best states of my life and this has made me see everything in…

Going grey...!

Every single social media platform is simply filled with this one trend that immediately caught my eye.. It’s so special, so edgy and yet so soft to the face. To top it off, I had never seen this done before, and in today’s day and age, that really is something! so naturally, being the pushover that I am, I had to partake. (more…)

Things tattooed people don't want to hear

Things tattooed people don’t want to hear

Tattoo’s have been a part of human culture since at least the neolithic times (that’s the stone age, people). Every culture around the world has a form of tattooing and traditions around it. Whether it’s used to emphasise your identity or to join the customs of your culture, every culture does it. Even so, this is a subject that still sparks a lot of controversy in the Western world. I myself…

Birchbox #2

So there I was, studying in the middle of the heatwave that has struck Belgium with a really bad attitude, when all of the sudden, the doorbell rings… and a true saviour asks for my signature so he can deliver my june Birchbox! As you can see, I didn’t even have time to properly open the box! This one was all about COLOURS. Hence the name: Splash. And what do you know, they chose an orange bag to…

Charlie the Scottish Deerhound puppy

Charlie the Scottish Deerhound puppy

Last week, I got to go along on a trip to a nest of Deerhounds and I met the most recent addition to the family. I also got to know a new breed of dog: big, hulking, shaggy beauties with hearts of gold! Let me tell you all about them, the puppy charlie and the lovely people that breed Scottish deerhounds in Nederweert, Holland. Maldaros started up a few years ago, when Marlies and Jo got their…

I’m smoke-free! (e-cigarette review)

I’m not proud of it, but I’m a smoker. It’s still quite the controversial subject and I’m the first one to admit everybody has a point about it. Therefore, I decided to quit and I’m proud to (tentatively) say that I have been smoke free for a week now, all thanks to my new e-cigarette. It truly is a blessing, so if you’re thinking about kicking the habit, keep on reading! Why quit now? I have…

BIRCHBOX #1

Finally, my first birchbox arrived! I simply had to share in this trend because I love the idea of getting to try out new products every month for a low price. When I heard that birchbox started to ship to Belgium, how could I not loan my boyfriend’s visa? prepare yourselves for a monthly post about birchbox, starting NOW! The box itself is adorable and my plan is to begin storing my make up in…

Primark haul, part one

The other day I decided that a trip to Primark would be the perfect way to release some of the study-tension. Little did I know that the trip there would be so horrific! I went with my mom and I was driving. Neither of us thought about the fact that my phone was at 20% and let’s just say the two of us combined wouldn’t be able to find a mountain if it was directed by huge flashing arrows, let…

Why everybody should love greyhounds

Ever since I was a little girl I have been in love with greyhounds and their ‘cousins’ so naturally, when I met my boyfriend, it wasn’t long until my love (/obsession, still in debate about that one) for greys came up. That’s when he casually mentioned he owned a whippet. WHAAAAT? Now, a year later, we have an unspoken agreement that when I arrive at his house I say hello to the dog (Bas) first…

Croatian roadtrip, OCD style

Me and the ball and chains are planning a roadtrip over the Croatian coast in September and like I said in an earlier post, I’m not going to plan every detail like I usually do. Nevertheless, I wanted to share my new and improved, slightly less neurotic, travel schedule! (note: my boyfriend was pretty nervous when I told him I was letting go of the reins, probably because he knows he is going to…

Not a fashionista

Is it just me, or is everyone a fashion guru? I see these pictures of perfectly timed ‘unexpected photos’ featuring ‘street style’ girls in skyhigh plateaus and perfectly fitted boyfriend jeans with a delightful crop-top they probably made themselves. Lattés seem to be appropriate (sometimes mandatory) in the picture, as is a perfect size zero. After 3 hours of binge-watching on pinterest (yes, I…

Lifesaving acne-fighting skincare routine

I already stated in a previous post that my sin was in pretty bad shape. I broke out every day and even the most powerful crèmes and pills didn’t do much good. I almost gave up until I came in contact with these two products in december:

find of the year

They saved my skin, and I must say the outbreaks are down to one every week. Which in my case means HOLY HELL I HAVE CLEAR SKIN! I use the louis…

Girls and jealousy

Are you a girl? Do you know other girls? Well, then, chances are you have experienced this in some form or shape. Us girls are often quite mean about (and to) other girls. Not mean in the aggressive way, but in the way worse passive aggressive manner. This goes from not inviting another girl to their party to gossiping to completely wanting to shun another girl. Why do we do this?

In my personal…

Short hair, don't care?

Sooo this week I decided to go for it. I went to the hairdressers and got a whole new hairdo! I always want something different and people that know me already don’t act surprised when I change my hair drastically. It just comes with the package when you hang out with me :) Nonetheless, I wanted to share my new look with you guys!

I am so excited about this colour and cut, I can’t begin to…
