My little shopping haul


I went to town today and bought these lovely things! On this photo you can find:

  • an Oxford Office notebook. When people tell you that there's no difference in paper, believe me there is. I love this line of notebooks!
  • Sephora Waterproof eye makeup remover. I have tried a lot of different make removers, but this one is really good. It cleans the eye perfectly, you don't get a rash (I am very sensitive with my skin) and since it's specially made for waterproof makeup, you can remove everything.
  • Sephora's double duty exfoliator and mask. I like to rise my skin and this one is a mask AND scrub in one! Save and buy ladies.
  • Sephora's soothing cleaning milk. I don't like makeup remover that has oil in it because it makes your skin really mushy so this one is without oil and perfume, which is great for my sensitive skin and it smells really good.
  • Since school is starting soon, I needed new maps where I can put my papers in and these have roses on them! I didn't have to think twice. There's no brand on it, but I bought them at a department store in my town called V&D.
  • Little stickers so I can organise my papers and maps.
  • A pink lego USB stick! I am totally in love with this one. I mean it's pink, it's lego and it's useful - what more do you need?!
  • And last but not least little sticky notes with panda's riding origami birds (no joke). I have a little obsession with sticky notes so I had to have these ones. Sticky notes are always useful. I also bought these at the V&D.


This is my last week of freedom before I start school next week so I think I'm gonna enjoy this one. It took me a while to get over my breakdown of two weeks ago, but I'm slowly recovering and ready for the next semester. Also, my 21st birthday is next week! I'm going to through a big party so be ready for lots and lots of nice pictures.

Life's Update


This month is going to be a quiet one. Why? Because I don't have to go to school until the 28th of January. Which leaves me a whole month of doing almost nothing. And that's why I have decided to read a lot of books, see of lot of films and go on a few day trips. I have created a Good Reads account to manage all my reading, I'll link you to it when I know how it works. The books that I want to read this month are: Son of Dust by Arnaldur Indriðason, Amsterdam by Ian McEwan, Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, The Gaudi Key by Esteban Martin & Andreu Carranza, The Absolutist by John Boyne and The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafron. Most of these books are quite thick but luckily I am a fast reader so this will be my month's goal! I hope I'll get there. I've already started on the Gaudi Key and it pretty damn good so I'm excited! These are all books recommended by my father since I do not have any money to buy new books. He likes thrillers and drama's (which is usually not my forte) but these books look interesting enough so we'll see.

This months trips to the cinema will be for Pitch Perfect and Les Miserable. I am very excited to see both films since I've already heard so much about them. Luckily my grand parents gave me lots of cinema coupons so I don't have to spend a lot of money.

Other things I'm excited about:

  • The Amsterdam Lights Festival. I am going there tomorrow and I very excited to see my beloved Amsterdam again.
  • Making Sunday Roast. I am going to make Yorkshire Puddings from scratch this Sunday and I hope it'll work!
  • This beautiful website. The pictures in this website are so peaceful and I just stare at them all day long.
  • This necklace. I want it!
  • This would make a beautiful birthday dress. I also love the length!
