Let’s start this 50th post (yay!) with some instagram pictures:

Hey guys! Or girls. Women? I don’t know, which one do you prefer? Well, this week was pretty eventful I must say. Remember I just moved? Turns out that we have to move again! Yes, who would have thought?! The house we are living in (my father’s) has been on the market for 1,5 years, we live in it for almost two months and suddenly it’s sold. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Of course we knew this could happen, but I must say we were pretty shocked it actually happened so soon. Happy for my father of course, but nonetheless a little bit of a bummer for us. Or maybe a new challenge? Hm, I must say it has kept me awake a few nights already, although I do know we will be fine. As long as we’re together, right? (aaw, too much cheese?)

Let’s move on (ha-ha, pun intended).

Have you heard about Annemerel‘s Fit For Summer project? When she added me to the facebook group I jokingly asked her if it was a hint and I kind of dismissed the idea to actually join in, but I soon realized that this was actually the “little push” I was waiting for. Long story short: I plan to complete the Fit For Summer challenge! This week we have to do a 30 minute cardio work-out everyday for five days, so we can take the weekend off or take a rest-day in between. Totally do-able! Yesterday I started the week by biking to my mom, which with the strong wind turned out to be a tough 45 minute ride (times two, cause we had to go back as well). Today I decided to skip the work-out, because my ASS felt sore (I need more fat on my ass!!! Now let’s hope my upper-thighs will hear this and can TAKE A HINT) and my back needed some rest. Instead I watched Sex and the City and ate some american pancakes with strawberries (hey, I need some fuel as well, right?). Tomorrow I will be back in the game and probably go to the gym. Or maybe go for a run if the sun is shining… fingers crossed on that one. Anyway, I’m pretty excited about this challenge. I was missing some routine in my life and this will add some, if only a little (pathetic? me? a little bit? maybe). If you want to join in as well: here is a link to the facebook group.

(my sister)

My sister has completed a month of vlogging and I think she’s pretty good at it! Last week she wanted some new profile pictures taken (I also promised to make her “channel art”? Should look into that) and by doing so I also made my youtube debut in one of her vlogs. Curious about her vlogs? Check it out! ♥ I am realllllly excited for Sofia’s new movie The Bling Ring. Emma Watson was great in The Perks of being a Wallflower and I think she will be great in this new one. The trailer looks good! ♥ This week I’m going to have a lot of girl time. Tomorrow Nathalie will come visit me (so brave of her, coming all the way to the end of the world! lol), friday I’m shooting again with Tara (although she doesn’t know this yet, but I’ll be totally bringing my camera), saturday night I’ll be catching up with a highschool friend whom I haven’t spoken to in almost three years (it’s been waaaay too long) and Kim will also be in Holland this week, so yay! ♥ I had a good laugh about Mascha’s April Fools joke. A cheese mask? Really?! Have you fooled anyone yesterday? ♥ Have I told you I love Bill Murray? No? Well, I LOVE HIM. He’s amazing. I finally watched Steve Zissou and the Life Aquatic this week and goddd, that dance of his. I’m laughing just thinking about it (probably only funny if you’ve seen the movie). ♥ If you have a burning question for me, you can now ask it via the link in my menu on the right —-> you see? I don’t know if anyone is ever going to use it, but I thought it would be fun. ♥ What the… hahaha, this is awful. Who made this up?! ♥

And as usual, a song to close it all up:

Because Lost in Translation is always a good idea.

Have a good week everybody! Hope you are all doing well!

The title is somewhat arrogant, but I thought it was very fitting considering the circumstances today. Me, sharing my week like a real celebrity, displaying my bread of cheese like it’s some royal dish and a very big deal (look, I am eating BREAD! With CHEESE!) and with our queen abdicating the throne and all. The whole idea of a monarchy is pretty archaic (my american friends think it’s crazy… and I must admit, they have a point), but I love our royal family and find it all very fascinating.

Anyway, because I am the queen around here: here are some moments and things I want to share with you.

A PINK HOUSE! And no, it isn’t mine unfortunately, but I had to snap a picture of it when I saw it standing in the snow looking all pretty ♥ My sister came to visit me and we went out for some (window)shopping and tea. She didn’t want me to take a picture of her, but come on, would you be able to resist taking a picture of her? She’s cute, right? ;)

Kim took a spontaneous trip to the Netherlands and I got to see her, yay! ♥ I really didn’t like the movie (except for the many Volvo shots), but the soundtrack is very pleasant. I particularly like this song! It’s so… eerie? And YES, I am aware of the fact that it is the song from the sex scene… Oh well, it’s still pretty.


I took a peek out of my bedroom window and all I saw was snow.

Let me keep it short here: just a very beautiful sky. ♥ Delicious potato soup! It’s a little orange, because I used some extra carrots, but in the spirit of things, why not?! (I swear, this will be my last pun…) Does anyone want a recipe of this? The recipe is very easy and basic, but it has quickly become one of my favorite dishes over the past few months after Tara served me this soup for the first time.


My boyfriend took this picture of me in the snow and, I SWEAR: the red car – red beanie thing was a complete coincidence!


Ah, there it is! My bread with cheese! I seriously missed this when I was in Sweden. My budget wasn’t really up to par during those months, so I ate a lot of meatballs and bread with… well, other stuff. Besides: nothing tastes better than our very own dutch cheese :) ♥ Nathalie lives at nummer 63 and as you can see, I paid her a visit. We talked about our future (and about how much I miss studying!) and drank lots of tea. Good times :)

Not pictured, but also done by me and therefore important enough to be mentioned: I went to the library and rented three autobiographies, just for the fun of it. ♥ I also did some things I should’ve done ages ago (all boring administration stuff) and now I feel very accomplished. ♥ Saturday I met up with a very good friend who, due to circumstances, I hadn’t spoken to in a very long time and it was like nothing ever changed :) ♥ We’re moving next week and therefore I have done some very serious closet-cleaning. Feels good to get rid of things! ♥

(I also have this theory that I would be an AWESOME princess. But I’ll leave that for another time).

Have a nice week everyone!
