Blog Challenge Day 18: What’s in my make up bag?
I don’t have a make up bag. I do have make up though. I only use a make up bag when I’m traveling. Other than that, I have it all neatly stored in my room, because too much make up to fit into a make up bag. So I assemble a make up bag, whenever…

Blog Challenge Day 17: What I wore yesterday
I can’t really say anything interesting about this, because yesterday I decided to just throw on some clothes. It was one of those: f$%& it! It’s vacation and I’m not going to bother with looking cute days. I have those from time to time. Especially on weekends and when I’m on a break from work.…

Blog Challenge Day 16: Last thing(s) you bought
For this one, I’ve decided to make a little video again: a shopping haul vid. I thought it would be easier to do this, then to take pics of all of the stuff I bought. It’s my first video, so be nice, lolz. The lighting is horrible! Any ideas on how to fix that? My…

Blog Challenge Day 15: Songs that match my mood
Today marks my 15th consecutive day of blogging, which means after today I’m half way through with the challenge. And what better way then to share with you the songs I like to play when I’m in certain moods. I’m pretty tired after a full day of shopping (it’s a sport), so I’m gonna keep…

Blog Challenge Day 14: my favorite vacation
As long as I know I get to go somewhere, and then especially to the USA, I already know I’m gonna love it. Going to new places and exploring them, is another thing I love doing. To mark my transition from student to hard-working woman in 2008, I decided to go on a trip of…

Blog Challenge Day 13: Favorite cake recipe
I love to cook and bake. Whenever I tell people I’ll be trying a new cake recipe for my b-day, they’re usually already excited. I have even made cakes/ muffins/ brownies for friend’s b-days, my mom’s b-day, or just whenever I feel like it. It’s something I thoroughly enjoy and it excites me when my…

Blog Challenge Day 12: A picture of the town I live in
I live in Leiden. A city in the Netherlands, about 30 minutes away from Amsterdam. It’s got lots of history, as many Dutch towns do, and plenty of buildings date back to the 17th century. The most affluent century of the Netherlands. During this time, rich merchants would buy stately homes on the shores of…

Blog Challenge Day 10: Favorite painter
I don’t know all that much about art, but I do like going to museums from time to time. All I know is what I like, or what I don’t like. I usually have no clue about the rest. So what I know is, through trial and error, that I mostly like art from the…

Blog Challenge Day 9: The importance of education
How important is education? If you know me, you’d know I work as a teacher and have just enrolled myself in another Master’s program at university. Answering this question is therefore easy for me: yes, I think education is very important. For one, because if education wasn’t around I would be out of work. Secondly,…

Blog Challenge Day 8: Favorite Quote
This topic doesn’t require a very long post. I could just give you the quote and let that be that. However, I have a little back story to where I found it and what it means to me. To sing images, like a luminous fish does in the dark depths of the ocean, not with…

Blog Challenge Day 7: My Day in Detail
Since today it’s Sunday and Sunday’s are always pretty uneventful, as I’m lazy as hell. Therefore, I will instead give a description of a week day as that’s usually when I’m busy busy busy. My work & school schedules change constantly. As of this week, my schedule changes as my classes at uni are canceled…

Blog Challenge Day 5: What’s in my bag?
Can you still call this a purse? I think it’s a bit too big for that, so I’ll just call it a bag. I know some of you would like to know what I have in my bag. Well, here it is! I only just got home and had to unpack my bag anyways, so…

Blog Challenge Day 4: My favorite movie
I actually already wrote about my favorite movie a little while ago, when I wrote a post about Into the Wild. In light of the challenge, I think it is only fair, however, that I do write a completely new post on another movie that really touched me. This movie would be Remember Me starring…

Blog Challenge Day 3: A recent photo & an old one
Well what can I say… I thought it would be interesting to see what you all have to say in response to this post. The title of this post is pretty self-explanatory. Below you can find a picture from July on the left, the most recent one I have that’s decent and on the right,…

How to shop till you drop – On a budget
Some of you may be aware of the fact that I shop. A lot. I know I do. Apart from having the money for it (finally), I also tend to seek out deals, go to cheaper stores and buy most of my stuff on sale. I used to be a student who had to make…

Pink Ribbon & Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Today is the first Monday in October and this morning (at 7 AM, mind you) I had a quite brilliant idea. As you may know, October is breast cancer awareness month and every year stores are packed with Pink Ribbon items. Now I find it a little silly to be buying bracelets, necklaces, nail polishes…

Hayfever & Immunotherapy
During the past couple of years I’ve developed a rather bad case of hayfever. Bad in the sense of: your sinuses get blocked, your airways get infected to the point where you develop asthma and when it gets really bad you actually get physically sick. Other than that it’s the usual symptoms: sneezing, dry &…
