Outfit

Today was a rainy day
So I waited for a dry moment, went out and took these pictures.

(Fake) leather legging, white top under a jeans blouse, Aztec-print shoes, a black floral scarf and a few jewels. I call it streetstyle, photographed around the woods.

 A few trees had to be hacked because otherwise the trees wouldn't have enough space to grow, they said.

From the Sacha store, you can find them here.

Do you like my outfit?

See you soon!

Marrakesh

In school they organize a trip for all the pupils in their pre-final year, that trip was last week and I was lucky enough to go to Marrakesh!

Bye Holland, Hello Morocco. 

 

Djemaa el Fna by night! I loved the atmosphere there!

During our four hour trip towards Ouarzazate we saw this tiny "shop", I thought it looked incredibly cute. Check out the line stone pigs!

 Film studios at Ouarzazate!

 Objects used in several films.

So this is what they call a film studio. Impressive, huh?

 And this is as well called a film studio. Yeah, a lot of nothing.
(The building you can see in the back is the castle used in Game of Thrones.)

Kasbah Aït Benhaddou, this village is placed on the World Heritage Site.
Only five families live here because the renovations took too much time for most people.
The view from this Kasbah (= village with four towers) was amazing!

 HEY IT'S A CAMEL! (Actually it's a dromedary, but camel sounds better.)

 Whoop whoop let's go riding this sweet camel!

While visiting a palace I spotted this pillar. These details are so tiny, must have been a hell of a job to do.

Spices souks, beautifully exposed, don't you think?

Can you feel the chaos?

My name written in Arab (read from right to left) in henna!

And another beautiful henna drawing on my hand.

The souvenirs I brought from the trip!

(Moroccan paper, tajine cups, bracelets, scarfs, a few Dirham coins, key hanger typical Arabic shoes and Arabic Orangina and Fanta.)

It's been a week to remember!

See you soon!

Birthday

Back in 1997, at the first day of February a miracle happened....

I WAS BORN!

Well, actually it was just a stormy day and I came to the world crying, of course. (As all babies do.)

But that day is now more than seventeen years ago, and I would like to tell you about my 17th birthday.

The day started with me and a friend biking in the drizzle towards the train station to head to the Erasmus university in Rotterdam. 

No, that's not right.

My day started at midnight, I had been looking for cake recipes in cooking books after I got back from work (dish-washing at a restaurant). I was very tired caused by the fact that I had had eleven exams at school that past week. But at midnight my mother congratulated me and we drank a liqueur (Ssshhh, I am actually not old enough). Very good begin of a long day.

So my friend and I travelled to Rotterdam and visited several informing colleges. I liked the Erasmus University very much! It's decorated with art and a lot buildings are new.

We came home at five o'clock and baked this delicious chocolate-fudge-pie, which we ate in the evening when some other very sweet friends came over to celebrate my birthday. 

As said they came, gave sweet presents (a lot chocolate!) and we watched Frozen (Disney). What a fun movie!

They know what I love

I have had a really good birthday and I am very grateful that I have this sweet, lovely friends by my side.

See you soon!

Faves.

I want to share some of my favorite make-up products with you, yay!

The mascara I favor is ILLEGAL LENGTH fibre extensions from Maybelline.

The brush is very fine, makes your eyelashes really long and separated. I like long, thin lashes (which make your eyes look wide) more than voluminous lashes, if you prefer volume this one isn't ideal for you.

The mascara is very elegant in its packing and as well on your lashes: simple and elegant.
May cost a bit more than the "home products" of stores you can find, but €15,99 is not that much either.
It's a disadvantage that it's not waterproof, so when it's raining really hard you can better pick another mascara or seal it with a special waterproof-er.

This lip balm is truly amazing, The little red tin is sold by Ici Paris in this, strawberry, version and a green, pink, and blue version.

It makes your lips soft, smooth and it gives them a bit more red tan combined with a slight glow, purrrrfect for a easy but well-cared for look.
Oh and a plus: it's totally animal test-free!

This body butter is so amazing, really, I would like to have all body butters from The Body Shop, but mango is lovely. (I am only a bit thrifty with it because I don't want it to run empty, so I only apply it on places where I smell it often, as my arms.)

I love to pamper myself with this Bodybutter. <3

See you soon!
