2023 Non-Bookish favorites
I didn’t just read and use makeup in 2023. I also listened to music and watched movies & TV series. So here are my favorites.

Let’s Go to the Movies tag
I don’t talk about movies often, but I saw my friend Erica Conger doing this tag and I figured I could do it too.

2022 Media Favorites
Apart from makeup, I thought I could also do a roundup of my favorite media I consumed all years.

What I Watched & New Youtube Channel
Let’s do a bit of an update, because I haven’t been blogging much these past few weeks. So before I am going to update you on some of the movies and series I have been watching lately, I am first going to update you on the blog and my youtube channel.

What I Watch: Downton Abbey
What rock have I been hiding under? I feel like I am the last person to have watched this ITV period drama. After watching one period drama at the start of October, I ended up digging straight into another after I came back from New York. With Downton Abbey having 6 series of roughly 10…

What I Watch: Peaky Blinders
Welcome to my new obsession: Peaky Blinders. This BBC/ Netflix period drama has really drawn me in and I ended up binging all seasons in the span of 2 weekends. The series is dark, violent and has a banger of a soundtrack. Set in 1920s Birmingham, the story revolves around the rise and near fall…

TV series I watched
It was summer break which means I finally had the time to be watching some TV series again. As part of Free for all Friday, I thought I could also give an update of movies/ tv series I watched in the previous month. Because I definitely love bingewatching a tv series and with a heatwave…

TV series I watched
I already mentioned I got my Netflix game on this summer break and where I watched quite a few movies, I did the same for TV series. I watched a few Netflix smash hits that I hadn’t gotten round to yet, but I also watched some brand spanking new series. Here’s what I watched and…

Movies I’ve watched
My summer vacation just wrapped up and during vacations I love to read books and watch movies and TV series mostly. I hadn’t really had time for it in the months leading up to the summer vacation, so I had some catching up to do. Today I’d like to talk to you about some movies…

Recent TV Series
Time to update you on what I’ve been watching. Apart from my usual intake of beauty videos on Youtube, I’ve also been watching some TV series again. And before I delve head first into House of Cards (yay 5th season!), I thought I’d talk you through some of the series I’ve been watching. And this…

What I watch on Netflix
For the past year or so I’ve had a subscription to Netflix. I found myself watching more and more TV series and fewer movies and signing up was a natural next step. So these past months I’ve been watching loads of Netflix series. Some of those original series, some are not. Here’s what I’ve been…

Youtubers of the moment
Every year I seem to discover a few new Youtube channels that I enjoy watching. I also unsubscribe from a few every year and it’s just that I like to keep things fresh and new. When a channel becomes too samey, I tend to become disinterested and then I know: it’s time for something new.…

Remember when… or: blog post memories
This blog has been around for more than 5 years. It will be 6 come next September. Six years of almost always daily blogging, which means there are a lot of blog posts to come by on this space. I thought it would be fun to take a peek back in time and show you…

Lookbook: Spring trends in my wardrobe
With a new season comes new trends. And I found out that I already own quite a lot of the spring fashion trends. Like I did last year, I figured it would be fun what the current spring trends are and how I would wear them. Where last year, I just took some pictures of…

Words that have gone out of style
The best part about language is that it changes all the time. The words you say today, will not be the same as tomorrow’s. This cycle of new utterances has caused language to evolve over time. From big changes such as The Great Vowel Shift, which caused all vowels in English to pretty much change,…

Words that changed meaning
One of my favorite things in the world? Not make up, not food, not dresses: it’s language. For as long as I can remember I have been fascinated with language. From how it shapes our understanding of the world to how it is such an inherently unique human feature, to how we learn it, to…

Netflix series I want to watch
I finally got myself a Netflix subscription. Yes, I know, I am way late to the party. But better late then never, no? I waded through some of their selections, but there is so much that sounds good that I don’t even know where to start. I already made my way through Narcos and I…

Movies I’ve seen #5
Good morning (well almost afternoon here), but this blog post was delayed for a good reason. I went to see a movie last night and wanted to include it in this blog post. Since I don’t do these very often, I didn’t want to have it sitting around, waiting until the cows come home. Which…

5 Youtubers I’ve started watching
Before summer I was watching more Youtube beauty videos than is healthy for one person. I mainly watched declutter videos and through that process I found some youtubers that I have started watching on a regular basis. Since I decided to no longer subscribe to any Youtube channels, I now rely on what pops up…

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 again. I stayed true to…

Movies I’ve seen #4
Movie time! I went and watched some movies, but not lately. The past year I haven’t watched many movies at all, but I managed to squeeze in a few and I took notes as I went along. So in today’s post I’ll say a bit about the 7 movies that I’ve watched since June. The…

Favorite make up tutorials
I stopped watching TV years ago. Instead, I’ve found myself more online, reading books or watching television series. However, one of my favorite past times is watching youtube videos. Some of my favorite videos are well executed make up tutorials and I thought it would be nice to share with you some of my favorite…

Current favorite youtubers
It’s winter which means it’s the ultimate time to cozy up on your couch with a blanket and some tea. But what to watch? I stopped watching television more than 5 years ago. I still watch the odd movie and TV series (but only in bulk during the weekend or vacations). On a more day…

Favorite dance movies
With dance being a huge part of my life, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I’m fond of watching dance movies to lift my spirits. Apart from the dancing, the stories are paper thin. Mostly they are the best type of feel good movie out there. If you like watching beautiful people fall in…

Movies I’ve seen #3
Staying home with a borderline burn out has its perks. 1) I get to sleep in. 2) I get to make up the pace of my day. And 3.) I can watch tv series and movies to my heart’s content. I’ve been going with TV series mostly as my concentration lasts roughly one hour after…

My favorite Christmas movies
It’s almost Christmas which means it’s time to cuddle up, get cozy, eat food and watch movies. I’ve been having myself a downright Christmas movie marathon this past weekend and there’s a few favorites that I simply have to watch. Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without it. 1.) National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation This is…

Blogs I Follow #2
Another 6 blogs that I check on a regular basis. Like last time, there are a few big blogs, some smaller, personal blogs and most concern beauty & fashion. 1. Livelifegorgeous Run by besties Willemijn & Martine this blog is a must read if you like their chatterbox style videos and reviews about slightly different…

Blogs I Follow #1
I don’t just blog myself, I also follow a few. I am currently following 12 blogs via bloglovin’. That’s not a whole lot, but I find that following many more is simply not feasible to keep track of. There’s a hand full that I check on a semi-regular basis when I see a post on…

Movies I’ve seen #2
If there is one thing I did during my summer break it was watching movies. I simply scoured the top 250 of IMDB at the beginning of summer and decided to bite down into some classics and highscorers as well as some more current movies I hadn’t seen yet. Today I´m presenting the 5 movies…

Current favorite youtubers
One of my favorite things to do on a lazy Sunday afternoon is watching Youtube videos. I am subscribed to quite a few channels and I thought I’d share a few new ones I started following in recent months. Lately, I have found myself with little time to watch videos when they are uploaded and…
