Continue reading →: The Body Shop Honey Bronzer
I’m a fair skinned gal. To the point where most foundations are too dark for me and wearing bronzer, instead of bronzing or sculpting my face, makes my make up look muddy and yuck. Bronzers are my on and off product. I can go months without using it and then…

Crop tops: you love em or hate em, but whoever wears them certainly makes a fashion statement. Personally I like wearing them from time to time, though never to work. I am not a fan of the ‘bare-it-all-Britney-in-the-90s” type crop top. What I do like to do is pair one…

Continue reading →: Tuned up Thursday: Songs of the Week #5
So much music, so little time! Because of my vacation earlier this summer, I wasn’t able to keep up with all the new music bits that had been coming out. So during summer break I did just that: get my hands on more new things, sort through my indie playlists…

Continue reading →: L’Oreal EverRiche nutrition & lightness shampoo & conditioner
I’m on a haircare roll this week. First the Lush hair mask review on Saturday and now a shampoo & conditioner review. These are by L’Oreal and are from their EverRiche line which boasts to contain no sulfates and be nourishing at the same time. I have the nourishing variety…

Continue reading →: Why dance is important to me
One thing I’m still working on in my journey to making a full recovery from my burn out earlier this year, is my fitness level. Being burned out leaves you incapacitated most of the time and thus regular workouts aren’t something you’re willing to waste your energy on. However, no…

Funny thing when a 30-year-old is aware of back to school huh? Well, this 30-year-old is a teacher and back to school is as apt for me as it is to many people reading this. And thus I thought I’d do my take on a back to school make up…

A person’s gotta eat! And that’s just what I did over the past 6 weeks or so since I did my last What I Eat blog post. I went on vacation in between, so I didn’t do much cooking and I didn’t take pictures of all of the meals I…

Continue reading →: Lush Fluff Eaze jasmine & henna hair mask
Just like about anything on my body (skin, nails, lips, feet, you name it) my hair is dry. It’s also very brittle. A nourishing shampoo and conditioner can do a lot for me, but sometimes my hair just need that bit of extra. Especially in summer, when my hair is…

As a continuation of last week’s Summer Lookbook post, I will be showing you 10 of my favorite summer dresses. These dresses are especially must haves when temperatures rise and all you want is the easiest, breeziest outfit possible. I just realized these aren’t the most colorful dresses I own,…

Remember that I like an array of different music? Well today’s post will proof just that. From a golden oldie, to elektro house, commercial dance, singer songwriter and one of the best tracks from one of the best albums ever made, this post showcases a neat division of the type…

Continue reading →: High end dark & neutral colored lipsticks
My favorite high end make up item to shop? Lipstick. Luxurious packaging, stunning colors and usually much better staying power: high end lipsticks allow you to buy that piece of the unreachable without breaking the bank. Especially when you go to Ici Paris XL when they do their infamous 40%…

Continue reading →: Plastic Free Tuesday
Do you know what day is today? It’s Plastic Free Tuesday! When my college friend Annemieke asked me to participate in a worldwide movement to create awareness for the amount of plastic in the world and hopefully minimize the impact of plastic to our environment, I didn’t hesitate and said…

Catrice is doing it again: changing its make up line that is. Twice a year the German make up brand renews its line and updates older products. When I was in Germany last month, I found a display at the German drugstore with some of the new products featured in…

Continue reading →: Summer time tag
A little while ago, Dutch beautyblogger Serena from Beautylab.nl made up this Summer Time tag. I thought it would be fun to fill out. I translated the questions to English for the purpose of this blog. Feel free to fill it out as well if you want. Enjoy your Sunday!…

Continue reading →: Marc Jacobs Style Eye-Con The Starlet
Buying luxury make up items is something I only do occasionally. Vacation time usually is the opportune moment of choice for any make up splurges. Being that I was a) in Paris on my most recent trip and b) Paris = Sephora, the situation couldn’t be more ideal. I had…
