To my surprise, Cassy from Baubles & Knots, added me to her list of blogs she thinks deserve a bit more attention. And I couldn’t be more grateful. It was a very pleasant surprise to see her comment pop up in my About section to let me know she had…

Continue reading →: Rimmel BB Cream Radiance in Very Light
Flawless skin is one aspect that make up can bring you, so I am forever looking for the perfect base products. A few years ago, BB creams were all the rage. Boasting skincare benefits as well as coverage, they quickly became a bestselling product and last year Rimmel expanded their…

Continue reading →: Week in outfits #2
Lately I have found that making lookbooks are too time consuming, yet I still want to show you what I wear from time to time. That is why I decided to take pictures of every single outfit I wore throughout one single week. It’s been a while since I last…

As I’ve decided to reach a goal of 50 books read by the end of the year, I also decided to change up how often I do these book review posts. Instead of doing them every 5 books, I’ve decided to do them every month. So this month I will…

Continue reading →: How to find a skincare routine that works
It took me ages to find a skincare routine that was doable as well as good for my skin. For the longest time I used absolutely nothing. The reason why? I didn’t feel my skin needed it and whenever I tried something it led to rashes, break outs and other…

Continue reading →: Weekly groceries
It’s been a while since I showed my weekly groceries. I showed it twice before, both of which were in 2014 (here & here). I pretty much buy roughly the same foods still, but it has changed a little bit since then. In 2013, I decided to go wheat free…

Continue reading →: Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick
As far as cult & coveted beauty products go, I think Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks are high on many make up lovers’ wishlists. They were on mine at least! I just never knew which shade to get as they are all so pretty but also so expensive. I didn’t want…

Sunday, funday and the day on which I sometimes like to write a more personal blog. Even though I post daily, blogging is not my day job. It’s just a hobby that I thoroughly enjoy. In ‘real life’ I’m an English teacher, teaching communication skills to Dutch college students. It’s…

Continue reading →: My Sephora.com wishlist
Do I need any more make up? Of course I don’t, but I love trying out new things. And since I found some new favorites in the US last summer, I have been filling and then emptying my shopping basket on Sephora.com several times already. I have noticed I keep…

Continue reading →: Music of the Moment (January 2016)
The final Thursday of the month is here, which means it’s time for me to share some music favorites with you once more. And it’s been a while since I last did this. I didn’t have time for this type of post in December as the holidays got in the…

Today I am bringing you another 3-in-1 review. This time of some high end lipstick that I acquired in the past year and a half. When I buy high end products, they are usually the odd bits and ends here and there, which means that I have tons of potential…

Continue reading →: Recipe: Chorizo, Rice & Beans
Call it my version of a paella type dish, or just call it a nutritious power house: whatever you may call this, it is a tasty little dish that you can throw together in under 30 minutes that is packed with flavor, tons of goodness and a little bit of…

Continue reading →: Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing lotion
With my sensitive skin, it’s been quite difficult to find skincare that works for me. So when I find something that works, I hang on to it for dear life. You can imagine my disappointment when I ran out of one of the first moisturizer that ever truly worked for…

With technology playing such a huge role in our lives, it is difficult to sometimes not stare at a screen. Keeping a blog in your spare time, like I do, isn’t a very good example of how to unplug. However, there are many things I like to do that keeps…
