Continue reading →: NOTD: Greige not beige
For today’s second post I’m bringing you a NOTD I wore recently. I’m still loving the sand style or liquid sand type nail polishes. So when I was in Germany and checked out local drugstore DM, it was a no brainer to pick one of these up. I found this…

Continue reading →: Chanel Vitalumière Aqua foundation
Time for another foundation review! My quest for the ultimate foundation continues, though a little less fervently than before. And if it hadn’t been for the fact that I could pick this up at a 30% discount, I doubt I’d have picked it up at all. For some time a…

Welcome to the second installment of Foodie Tuesday and today I’m showing you how I make iced tea from scratch. This is a non-fizzy, non-sweetened version based on green tea with some lemon and mint added for extra flavor. It is my favorite summer drink and was a hit with…

Moving on the 30 day make up challenge ladder. It’s a slow and steady process, but trust me I haven’t forgotten about this challenge. I hadn’t set out to complete this challenge in 30 days anyway, and so I feel that as long as I complete it in the end…

Continue reading →: Combined book review #3
Time for a round up of some books that I’ve been reading this year up to this point. It may not seem like much, but in between I did read the full 6 book Mortal Instruments series, and I left out a few books that I didn’t really have much…

In my end of August empty products post, I showed you I had run out of my beloved Organics Ginzing moisturizer. When I was in Germany a few months ago, I had to pay a visit to DM to see what they were stocking not only make up wise, but…

Summer has left us it seems at times, but officially it’s still summer of course. For another 9 days to be exact. And in a way this is a bit of a transitional lookbook anyway. With tights, a blazer or a sweater all these floral dresses instantly become perfect for…

Continue reading →: Nail polish storage
Over the years I’ve used several ways for storing my make up and nail polish. As I’ve been upgrading my living space with some new furniture, I’ve also been rearranging my beauty storage. Deciding how I wanted to store my nail polish was easy. The Ikea Helmer drawer set is…

Music has helped me get through plenty of bad moments and by now I have quite the playlist of songs that I can put on whenever I’m feeling out of sorts. Whether I’m feeling sad, tired, stressed or am simply in the mood for some music that makes me feel…

Continue reading →: Sephora.com wishlist
It should be no secret anymore that Sephora.com expanded the number of countries they ship to. And even though they do not ship all the products to the Netherlands, it still makes for some interesting browsing as they stock many brands aren’t available over here. I found plenty of things…

Continue reading →: Perfect breakfast recipes
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but also the easiest one to skip or forget. Whether it is because you’re busy or just not that hungry, breakfast can also be a bit uninspiring. But it doesn’t have to be! Breakfast foods can be much more than a…

Continue reading →: Essence Hello Autumn LE
Previews of the new Essence limited edition had me immediately interested and eager to check it out. From the overall color scheme (neutrals!) to the design of some of the products, I was curious to see what budget brand Essence would come up with for their limited fall collection. And…

Continue reading →: Old fashioned profanities
The English language is a funny thing. It has been around for centuries and since language is an ever changing thing, adapting itself to the custom of the times, the English spoken today is not the same as it was 50, 100 or 200 years ago. Pronunication may change, words…
