Keep it classy, never trashy, just a lil' nasty

Hi lovelies, 

I promised this one... Let's talk about what I did the other day. It was a jampacked day and I loved every minute of it. I started by getting dressed for a lunch with my parents. You saw the result of that earlier. My parents celebrated the fact that they got married for the church 21 years ago. Considering that I also needed to eat I was invited. 

 We went to a restaurant in just outside the city 'altermezzo'. It's pretty fancy and I had never been there. 
I started off with an aperol spritz.
 I ate guinea fowl (well google that's the strangest translation for a fancy chicken i've ever seen) but it was delicious.
 This was my dad's dish but it looked so pretty I had to take a picture, My mom ate the same thing as myself.
 When at the badroom of a fancy place I always feel the need to take selfies, I don't know why.
Afterwards I went to my girlfriends place where we took outfit of the day pictures and hang around for a bit (wich actually means took a nap of more than an hour, shht)
Hanging around also stands for cuddling moustie.
You can hold the fatzo like a little baby. Excuse my butt nearly showing but the picture was to precious so let's ignore the lower half.
Afterwards Hanne came to pick us and Aida up and we drove to their soccer practice. I watched how they trained and tried to study a bit. 
After the warm-up Aida already felt like taking a nap
 After training they decided to go out, We went to the Ritz. At thursdays it's your cheapest option, they charge no entrancefees and only one euro for a beer because it's student night. I ended up wearing the same thing all day because I wasn't prepared for all of this but somehow it worked. Never too formal of too casual.








Well this was an extremely long post but it was a great day
Goodbyeee

I like my money right where I can see it... hanging in my closet

Hi lovelies, 

An outfit of the day post again. Praise the lord! I wore this outfit all day for multiple occasions. I'll post about my day later but I had plenty things to do and this outfit worked great for all of them. Let's start, shall we?


 I wore a pink lace skirt with a grey neon-spotted loose fit tshirt tucked into it. I combined it with a black cardigan an black heels. Everything except the heels are from H&M. I kept my make-up simple with just a bit of bronzer, mascara and the maybeline colour tattoo in on and on bronze. I also curled my hair and kept it in place with a bit of sea salt spray and hairspray.


When I decide to make outfit posts in my girlfriends yard it's inevitable that her cat tags along. She hears people, sees cameras and poses happily. 

Anais loved this one so i'm using it for this post, just for her. We were goofing around and even her cat looks at me  thinking 'You are one crazy human, aren't you?'

Nails of the day #5 - Urban Turquoise

Hi lovelies,

It's time for another nail post. This time I used the Maybelline colorshow in Urban Turquoise with the essence quick dry topcoat. It's a lovely color what kind of makes me think of the smurfs. It takes a 1 coat if you want color but 2 coats if you want it flawless. You definately need a basecoat underneed this. I painted them once before without a basecoat and the result was absolutely horrible. My nails turned bluegrey from the color for 2 days. I don't own a basecoat so I used my topcoat as a basecoat. The shade Urban Turquoise retails for 3.99€

The result without a basecoat

Nowadays people know the price of anything and the value of nothing

Hi lovelies,

I am putting up a quick extra post. I was cuddling with Cocopuff and made some webcam-pictures and I just wanted to share.



I chose this titel because it's actually spot on, I bought my munchie a year and a half ago in January. Believe it or not the animals were on sale. How you can put a price on a life and a soul is beyond me in the first place but he was worth 6 euros to the store. He was sitting all cute in there and I could not for the life of me leave him there and I would have paid more for him because to me it was not just another thing to buy in the sales. I bought a creature with it's own little mind and ways. You can teach him things and he will love you if you treat him the way a life and soul should be treated. He reacts to his name, he looks at me when I leave the room, he jumps on my hand when I open his little circushome. He is the best thing I ever did bought and I value him a lot more than those 6 euros.
Ghiii, I love that little monster so much

No matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself

Hi lovelies, 

Today I planned another what's-on-my-eyes-post. 
I didn't use all that much considering I was just going to work and I had to be up by 6AM. The time and effort I'm willing to put in using make-up is pretty minimal at that moment in the day. I'd rather sleep a little longer.
I ended up using 2 products wich is more than enough to look just a little more awake and to make it seem like you did the effort.
I used a bright blue eyeliner by catrice. It's a longlasting one and was pretty cheap. To top it off I used a mascara by maybeline. The lash stiletto volume wich does a great job. My lashes are long and pretty curvy. I bought this a while ago at action wich is a store where you can get things really cheap but I believe it are the items that didn't get sold in other countrys meaning it's older. I am really not sure about that but it's the impression I get. Anyways a maybeline mascara for 2.5 euros? Well great I'll take you home. The volume express ones retail for 14 euros wich is quite the difference, no wonder I was excited with this one. I used it for a couple of months now and it still hasn't dried out wich is a big plus.
 I'm putting in a close-up from the mascara brush because let's be honest, that's the most important part of a mascara. It's curvy but it's still easy to handle. The brush is not a plastic one wich I like but this one is quite rough, the bristles aren't all that soft but you get used to it when you use it a couple of times.

Review - Rexona Maximum Protection Sensitive Dry

Hi lovelies,

It's finally there, the moment I have found the courage to write my own review. It might seem like a boring subject but I'm reviewing a deodorant. More specificly the Rexona maximum protection sensitive dry deodorant for excessive transpiration. This deodorant is extra-ordinary. It blew my mind really. I've tried many deodorant over the years, but none did the job as well as I hoped. I always thought I smelled a hint of stinkieness and it drove me crazy because I was afraid other people smelled that too. It made me feel really uncomfortable and insecure. When my previous deodorant ran out I decided to try this one. It is meant for people who sweat excessively and I don't sweat extremely much but still. But it does the trick, no hint of stinkieness anymore, no wet spots under my arms on the fabric of my clothes,...


It's a cream deodorant wich you can best use after you wash in the evening because your body would pick it up better because your sweat glands are less active at night. You can use it again in the morning if you think that's necessary. I personally just use it after I wash myself in the morning and that's enough for me. The only negative side to this deodorant is that when you dress right afterwards it can give white streaks on your clothing and if you don't rub it out well if leaves a white residu under your arms but if you use it with care it works perfect. Besides that is a small price to pay for smelling absolutely devine. I use the purple one wich compliments my natural scent according to my girlfriend.


This line has a couple of scents:
- Pink : confidence
- Purple : sensitive
- Blue : clean
- Green : everyday fresh

The price varies over scents but is between 7 and 8 euros.

I recommand this highly and hope this review was helpfull for you, thoughts can be left at the comments.

My universe will never be the same

Hi lovelies,

Between workdays I had a meetup with my lovely girlfriend. We went for ice-cream because it is still very hot in europe, we wandered around town, and had some food before I went back for an evening shift at the senior centre. After dinner we gave our oldies also an ice-cream. It looked so adorable that I took pictures. I hope they don't mind I share it on here.

 Whenever we meet-up after a couple days apart we have so much fun. We realise all over again how much me miss each other, and we're made for each other ^^ Sounds cheesy but it's true.

Stay close to anything that makes you glad you're alive

Hi lovelies, 

I wasn't feeling all to well so I decided to go outside and sit a bit, when I got bored I wandered around and went flower-hunting, aka looking for flowers and photographing them. I put them into collages because it would be a bit to much otherwise.

What I bought - Dour edition

Hi lovelies,

As I went to DOUR festival my shopping urges struck me again. Before you enter the festivalmeadow there is a road full of stalls where you can buy stuff, it's like a market. You can buy everything you need there, such as sunscreen, rainboots, clothes, even things you need for smoking. I'm going to show you everything I bought there besides food and drinks. I forgot to include something my girlfriend bought in the pictures. It was a vibrant coralyorange gel that you can use to paint yourself with and the color will show up in the blacklights and sun on the festival. You can see the result of that when I upload my DOUR picture post. Let's start.
The collection
Let's start with these little gems. These are color sprays to spray in your hair. I choose a bright blue and purple with glitter. When you wash your hair they wash right out so it isn't permanent wich makes it handy for special occasions. I used them both when it was hot at the festival and the colour did come off with sweating on my 'decolletage'. My above-boob-area (yes that's a word) was blue or glittery. I love then anyway. They cost 12 euros together.
I bought the bow at a piercing stall and it costs me 3 euros. Its a gorgeous mint green but I wore it already at DOUR wich makes it a bit more dirty thanks to the dust. The hairband with the red roses cost me 5 euros and it looks amazing. I love it. The cap I didn't buy but won at the Nikon stand where you could participate in a challenge and if you succeeded you got the cap. Our challenge was to put 10 clothespins on your face in less then a minute.
I bought this shirt for 15 euros and I adore it. I had been looking for a shirt like this for ages and something always stopped it but when I saw it in this gorgeous colour I had to have it. It stood out to me unless like the white or black ones. I'm very very happy with it.

Well that's everything. I hope you all liked seeing what I bought.

Goodbyeee

True love has no expiration date



Hi lovelies,

I made an eyeshadow look with a palette I got from my mother a long time ago. I'm talking about the chanel 'les 4 ombres' palette in shade 08 vanites. It's a purple toned palette. It comes with little brushes but I used a fluffy blending brush. 


I used the light purple on the bottom left corner over the entire lid. I swooped the color next to it from the middle to the outside corner. I used the left top color on the outer bit and the crease and the right top color in the inside corner and under the brow. I used a lashes to kill mascara from catrice.


I really like it but eventhough it's a purple look it doesn't come off purple in these pictures.

Nails of the day #4 - That's what I mint!

Hi lovelies,

As you may or may not know, I'm working at a senior centre during the summer for some extra pocket money. A job in nursing means your nails must me clean and you're not allowed to wear nailpolish or gel nails or anything like that. Whilst my fingernails must be clean I can only paint my toenails. So people this means nails-of-the-day-posts with pictures of my feet. Deal with it. I'm actually glad I'm doing this, as an early teenager I absolutely hated my feet and we're getting over that this instant. BAM. I used the lightblue color That's what I mint! from essence and the essence quick dry topcoat. Doesn't it look pretty?






 Goodbyeee lovelies, have a great day
