Continue reading →: Leiden hot spots
I’ve lived in Leiden for just over 13 years now, so I know my way around the city. I went there as a student, but as time progressed, my usual haunts changed up. I went from student bars and societies to bars and restaurants. For years I have been visiting…

Continue reading →: Lorac Pro 2 eye shadow palette
Highest on my US make up wishlist? Quite possibly the Lorac Pro 2 palette. I passed up on number 1 when I was in the States 3 years ago when the brand was still available at Sephora. But then I saw the Pro 2 and new I had to track…

Continue reading →: My love for… printed socks?!
I know what you’re thinking: why on earth would anyone write a blog post about socks? Well, I do. It may seem silly, but hear me out. This past year or so I have been finding my sock drawer changing. Whenever I needed some new pairs, I decided to not…

It’s spanking new music time! I FINALLY had time during my vacation to sort through my gathering of indie playlists again. I had 3 months worth of new music which had piled up during my super hectic end of the school year time, my absence due to my vacation and…

Summer is almost over, but that doesn’t mean that it’s too late to be reviewing an SPF. Some people will advise you to wear SPF on a daily basis any way to protect your skin. Now, me personally, I don’t do that. I say out of the sun as much…

Continue reading →: Recipe: Rocky Road
One of the most indulgent treats on the planet? Rocky Road! I first discovered this at Starbucks, but I figured that it should be something that is easy to make yourself. Once I had found a recipe that worked, I have made this several times, and served to my friends…

Continue reading →: Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil bronzer
Finding a good, matte bronzer when you’ve got a lighter skin tone can be quite the battle. Many of them are too dark, or if they are light enough they are super shimmery. I used to use NARS Laguna for years, but found that it only really worked on my…

Continue reading →: Favorite TV series
It’s been a while since I have watched or let alone written about TV series that I like to watch. These past few months were so hectic that I had little time to start a new one, but during my summer vacation, which ends today, I watched a few series…

Continue reading →: Make up surprises
Sometimes make up can catch you off guard. There are many products that will and can look good no matter what. There are also plenty of make up products that can look intimidating at first. It may have to do with how something is applied, or a certain color that…

Who doesn’t own a white t-shirt? For the longest time, I didn’t. I thought white made me look pasty and it was hard to find a shirt that wasn’t see through. But throughout the years I have come to appreciate white t-shirts like no other. I wear them all the…

I’m a little late to the party for today’s post, but I wasn’t able to write the blog post yesterday. I spent a good few hours upgrading my laptop to the new Windows 10 and so I wasn’t able to use my laptop for a while. And that left me…

It’s that time of year again: Catrice and Essence have changed up their range again. Even though I thought at first that there wasn’t much that I would like, I have found a few bits that I thought were worth checking out. Since I want to have ample time before I…

After all those vacation blog posts, this week, we are back on track to the regular programme. And that means it’s time for another food blog and this time I have super delicious, yet easy and quite cheap recipe for you. I have been making this for years. It was…

Continue reading →: US beauty haul: Sephora, Ulta, Target, Walgreens & CVS
***Disclaimer*** Yes, I bought more make up than I could possible need in a life time. Yes, I know I am crazy. Yes, I spent way too much money. If you’re about to leave a comment down below complaining about that: keep your thoughts to yourself. I enjoy make up…

My final part of the trip took me to Chicago. It wasn’t my first time in Chicago. I went there 10 years ago when I was on exchange in the US. At the time it was spring break, which meant it was early March and just when I was there,…
