I'm a Proud Ladybug

Meet my ladybug shirt. This is one of the few clothing items that makes me feel good, without having to conform to society’s norms of the beautiful sexy woman. Don’t get me wrong, I like wearing pretty dresses and high heels, but there is something special about wearing a button down shirt, smart shoes and plain black pants and stil being able to rock your strut.

May & June Favorites 2016 | VIDEO

It’s monthly favorites time! Since I have been going through finals and therefore I was living like a hermet in my room, I found it hard to get together my favorites. I just hadn’t been doing a whole lot of fun stuff. However, every so often, I did put myself through some retail therapy and I found some gems along the way.

Ruffle Rumble

This tomboy is making her way into girlines with this spring-summer trend: ruffles! I used to avoid ruffles like there was no tomorrow. An expression of disgust would adorn my face every time my mom would try to get me to put on a frilly ruffle-y dress. What can I say? I just have always liked a simpler minimal look. However, now ruffles are back - and I am actually picking out my own clothes - I seem to have found a piece of clothing combining my minimal style and my secret love for some ruffles here and there

New Season, New Eyeshadow stick | Essence Review

It’s a well-known fact that I’m a sucker for a good cream eyeshadow, preferably in stick form. I’m just not a morning person. So I can’t be bothered with putting a lot of time into my makeup on the early mornings. In February, I reviewed the Rimmel Magnifeyes eyeshadow stick, and I still love that one, but I lately I have been loving a more minimal and simple look and the Rimmel one is quite full on. So, I decided to branch out and try the new Essence 2-in-1 eyeshadow & liner sticks.

70s Minimalism | Try-on haul

After winter that did not seem to end, it was time for a big spring clean-up. I reorganized my wardrobe and threw out any fall/winter item I didn’t get to wearing this past season. As I went through my clothes I noticed some key pieces missing as well as some well-loved pieces falling apart. It was high time for some replacements and a few new bits. There is definitely a 70s minimalist vibe to this one. Enjoy.

No Makeup Sunday

After a week of foundations, blushes and bronzers, a day without makeup can do wonders to your skin. To make sure my skin gets to recover from a week of makeup, I have at least one makeup free day every week. I tend to have one on Sundays. On those, I usually stay in, relax and catch up on some work for school. It’s the perfect day for me and my skin to take a breather.

What I Got For My 21st Birthday

On Saturday, April 2nd, I turned twenty-one. To celebrate, my family and friends gave me some amazing gifts. From makeup, to skincare, to jewelry, to books and movie tickets. They spoiled me rotten. I’m so grateful to have these lovely people in my life. Here are some of the things they got me.

Fixing Brow Wax??! | EYEBROW ROUTINE

My brow routine has been pretty steady ever since Cara Delevigne rocked her luscious brows and the phrase ‘on fleek’ became a thing. Since a week or two ago, however, a have been trying a little something new. I picked up a styling brow wax. After trying it for a while, I do get what they were getting at, but it does has some down sides. Anyways, let’s tackle those cons when we get there and start the routine. 

I cut and donated my hair!

I went short! Well… shoulder length. I cut about 20-25 centimeters of my hair and donated the whole bunch to charity. I’m so happy with the result!

Happy International Women's Day!

Here is a picture of me dreaming of a world where equal pay, tax free tampons and pads and all that jazz are a thing. 

Base Makeup | Foundation Routine

I have talked about lipsticks, nail polishes, eyeshadows, eyeliners and mascara’s. It’s probably about time I say a little something about the base of all of that. I know, it’s way more fun to experiment with different colors and you can’t really do that with base products. However, when you don’t have your base products figured out, the rest of your makeup won’t be able to fully be it’s fabulous self. So, let’s get those moisturizers, primers, foundations and blushers out and get started!
