Spiders T_T

I can't sleep. I'm too scared. A few days ago, I saw a spider in my room, but it was too high so I couldn't reach it, and I thought, I'll just let it live. But just now, I wanted to read a book on my bed, and when I lay down and grabbed my book, it almost crawled on my hands. So I kind of threw the book on my bed, but the spider is gone now, and I can't find it anywhere. So it must be SOMEWHERE on my bed T_T

I haven't posted anything the last days. My life has been a bit meh. I'll make a post about my nails tomorrow, I have changed them a lot recently, and I've got acrylic nails now (done them myself! I'm so proud :3)

I'm so tired... I really want to sleep. I think I'll just try, wish me luck :S

Nails Of The Day: French manicure

Hello :)

I'm feeling better today n_n And I did my nails, because I got tired of my caviar nails. This is how they look:

I had only 10 rhinestones left, otherwise I would have used more. I still like how my nails look though.

Have a nice day <3

Blegh

I'm not feeling well today. Blegh. I went to an amusement park yesterday, and I was exhausted when I got back. I have a headache, a runny nose and I'm tired :(

I don't really feel like blogging today. Sorry guise :(

30 day challenge - day 8

So I'm going to do a challenge for the next 30 days. I thought it would be a nice way to write something everyday and let you know more about me. The challenge for today is: a moment.

This is a long time ago :| I really thought I was going to succeed in this challenge, but no. Well, I'll just pick it up from where I left I guess n_n

I haven't really had noteworthy moments the past months, so I'm going to talk about a moment in (I think it was) October 2011.

At that time, I was in college for around 2 months. I don't remember what day it was. I was sitting on the bus on my way home. It was really quiet, which I liked, because I hate it when buses are full and busy. I looked out the window, and the sun shined on my face. I was doing good at university, I made friends, loved the classes and had no problems whatsoever. And suddenly, I felt really happy. I know that it sounds weird. I had been happy before (most of the time, not always of course), but I suddenly realized that I truly was happy. I had goose bumps all over my arms. I felt like crying, but I didn't, because I wasn't completely alone :') And when I got home... I had to do my homework, help with cooking and clean my room, and the feeling was completely gone :')

Have you ever had moments like this one?

Have a nice evening <3

Shopping prohibition

Hi :)

I wanted to let you know that from now on, I'm on a shopping prohibition. It's going to be really hard for me, but I want to try.

There's a few reasons I want to do this. Firstly, it is because I want to save money. The last year or so, I have spent more money on clothes and make-up than I wanted to. Whenever I see something cool, I get that feeling of 'I have to buy it now, otherwise it will be gone, and I won't find something similar ever again'. I know it is bullshit, but that's just how I feel when I'm shopping >_<

I also want to do this because I think it will make me conscious of all the clothes I already have, and make me appreciate them more. I hope it will make me more creative as well and make me come up with more outfits with everything I already have.

And lastly, and this is the most important reason, I want to do this as an extra reason to lose weight. You do not know this yet, but I am overweight. I haven't told you because I don't want this blog to become like an 'overweight fashion blog', even though I have respect for those bloggers and I love visiting them. I want this blog to be about other things as well, without the label 'overweight'. I never really wear the clothes that I like. I keep on buying clothes that either fit me, but I don't feel comfortable in so I never wear them, or clothes that I don't even fit in, with the excuse of 'but I'm going to lose weight, so I will be able to wear it then'. Meanwhile, those clothes have been in my closet for at least a year. I hope that this shopping prohibition will make me want to lose weight even more.

I'm a bit nervous (I'm a bit of a shopaholic), but I have found out that whenever I see nice clothes or jewelry, instead of buying it, I can put it in my stylebook, and it really helps me.

Have you ever been on a shopping prohibition? What was it like?

Wish me luck n_n

Want: wedge sneakers

Hi :)

I've got another pair of shoes that I really want (you can read about all the other shoes I want here). You either love them or hate them: wedge sneakers.

It all started with the shoes by Isabel Marant. They've got a hidden wedge in them, so when you're wearing them, you'll be a few centimeters longer. When I first saw them, I fell in love. But I'm not willing to spend €449 on shoes.

The shoes by Isabel Marant

Luckily, a lot of brands have also got wedge sneakers by now, for a lot less money. I've found some nice ones:

1 from eBay (seller itemtrend) $57,99; 2 From march23 but I don't know how much they cost. They're opening a webshop soon; 3 From ASOS $78,28; 4 From march23 via Little Soho €199

Do you like wedge sneakers?

Have a nice day <3

True!

Just found this picture, and I think it's so true n_n

Have a nice day <3

Nails Of The Day: Caviar nails

I'm back! I didn't really feel like writing the last few days, but now I feel guilty :( So I'll try to post more frequently, I promise!

Caviar nails by Ciaté

Caviar beads on my own nails

Today, I received a package from eBay with caviar beads :) Caviar beads are originally by Ciaté, I believe, but I bought 2 really cheap packages for like $3. I think they look awesome, but the first time I tried them on, everything fell off again within 5 minutes >_< So here are some tips:

• Use a little bowl or something underneath your nails, otherwise you'll have a big mess afterwards
• Do one nail at a time, to prevent the nail polish from drying
• Use a matching nail polish, and put on a thick layer in order to let the beads stick better. If the layer is too thin, it will dry quickly and the beads will fall off again very easily
• After you sprinkled the beads all over, pat them into the nail polish. I used a plastic spoon for this, as it didn't work out with my fingers. The beads kept on sticking to them
• Don't put a top coat on your complete nail, this will ruin the effect of the beads and make it look funny. I only applied a little strip of top coat to the borders of my nails

What do you think of caviar nails? Are you going to try them?

Sorry!

Bye <3

30 day challenge - day 7

So I'm going to do a challenge for the next 30 days. I thought it would be a nice way to write something everyday and let you know more about me. The challenge for today is: Your best friend.

I think I have a best friend. Her name is Nadia, and we met during introduction week of university. When I say 'I think I have a best friend', I mean that I'm not really sure. I don't really talk about stuff like this with friends, and I don't easily say that I love someone.

So I'm just assuming that she is my best friend. By the way, she knows I have a blog, but I haven't shown her yet, so if she ever reads this, then: Hi Nadia ^^ Are we best friends?

Anyway, we get along very well. We are very similar (not our looks, but how we think, and our opinions, and just our personalities). It's a bit scary sometimes, but funny too.

I've never had a friend like that. It's really nice to have someone who completely understands you, and I can talk with her about everything. And I'm always giggly when I'm with her.

Do you have a best friend?

Teeez! Review

When I went into town a couple of days ago, I found a lipstick from a brand I've never tried before. So I thought, let's try it out!

It is a lipstick by the brand Teeez Cosmetics, from the collection 'City Trip', which is inspired by Gossip Girl. It has been around for a while, but I never really thought about buying something. But I love the packaging, and I just couldn't resist...

The lipstick itself is longer than normal ones, and thinner as well. In combination with the slanted end, it is really easy to apply.

I bought the color 'Centre Ville', which is a very summery peachy pink color. It is really pigmented, and stays on very long. It will not survive a meal, but nothing comes off when you have a drink.

I'm not really fond of the texture though. It is dry, so if you have dry lips yourself (you know, with all those pieces of dead skin - what is the English word for that?), it will really show.

This lipstick costs €5.99 and is available at most drugstores in Holland (I believe not at Kruidvat, but I'm not sure). If you want to know where you can buy Teeez outside of Holland, check teeez.eu.

Advantages

• Nice packaging
• Easy to apply
• Pigmented
• Stays on long
• Cheap
• Can be bought at most drugstores in the Netherlands

Disadvantages

• Texture is dry

I'm really happy with this lipstick, in the future, I will definitely buy some more colors.

30 day challenge - day 6

So I'm going to do a challenge for the next 30 days. I thought it would be a nice way to write something everyday and let you know more about me. The challenge for today is: Your day.

First, I just want to tell you that my days don't look like this normally, I was really lazy today...
I woke up at about 11 am, and then I ate breakfast and took a shower. I watched some TV, and then my grandparents visited us. It is my nieces birthday today, so we had some cake ^^

I listened to some music (some EXO and SHINee <3), and before I knew it, it was already evening... We ordered some Thai food (yummy), and I wrote this post. It was a pretty boring day today.

Tonight, I'm going to post a review of a Teeez lipstick, but first I'm going to watch Notting Hill.

Have a nice evening <3
