How to work out in style at the gym

Some of you might know that I started working out again. Yes girls, I just signed a 1-year gym contract. Sitting at the office every day is so bad for the health and you can easily get a fat tummy because of that. Therefore I push myself to go to the gym at least twice a week. Working out at the gym is a great way to ensure you get that perfectly toned Summer body as well. However, there’s one thing many women struggle with when it comes to preparing for their workout: What shall I wear? Staying stylish while you’re working out is not always easy. Find stylish gym clothes is just one part of the problem. You also need to make sure it's comfortable. Here are a few tips to stay stylish and feel good while you work out.

Five Ways to Wear Maxi Dresses

Oh my I can't wait until it's a bit hotter here in The Netherlands. Don't get me wrong, I like to wear knitted clothing during the cold days, but I also like to wear dresses and tops during the hot days. Maxi dresses are a Summer style staple and with a good reason - it's flattering, comfortable and versatile, the maxi is a dress that will earn its keep in your wardrobe. I'm quite petite so it can be hard to wear one, since my legs aren't that long lol, but a pair of high heels would pull the trick ^^. Here are five ways to wear the maxi this Summer:

4 Summer Holiday Destinations in Europe

Making the most of your precious time off is important. Most of us work hard throughout the year, so when its time for that week or two in the sun, you need to make sure you get it right. My last trip to a hot country was in 2013 and I would love to go on a holiday this year again.

Effective Body Care for Winter

It's still extremely cold outside while it's February already, can you believe it? Winter still holds a firm grip over most of Europe and forces us to dress in thick jackets and generally layer up. As we try to protect our body from the cold in order not to fall ill we also need to take precautions to protect our skin and to give it the chance to regenerate.

What Do You Do in Your Spare Time?

I always think it's weird when people say "I'm bored or it's boring", since there are so many things that you can do. You can clean your house, watch a movie, read an interesting book, hang out with friends or take some pictures outside. It all depends on your interests and if you are willing to do it or not. Especially if you have internet at home, you can never get bored, you can write or read some blogs, read articles, watch videos on youtube or even play games like poker or go to bingo websites such as Big Brother Bingo.

Y'll know what I'm doing in my spare time right? I work a lot so I don't have much spare time except for the weekends. I usually go out with friends watch a movie or have a bite outside. When I'm not outside, I'm at home watching drama series, watch Youtube videos, read some blogs or do some blogging. I also check my social media platforms often, such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram - it's so addictive!

Anyways, my question to you is: 

What do you girls do in your spare time :) ?

Asian Beauty Products from Beautycarousel.com

I recently received a package from Beautycarousel.com, you might recognize this website since I've mentioned it before in my reviews about the Cure Natural Aqua gel. Beautycarousel.com was set-up to provide easy access to many innovative beauty products from Japan. Numerous best-selling and innovative cosmetics and skincare products from Japan could not make their way to the local stores due to multiple business conditions, but Beautycarousel is one of the few companies who will bring it to your doorstep!

Review: Dolly Eye - Rosy Rosa Pink Lenses from Uniqso

In this blogpost I'm going to review the Dolly Eye - Rosy Rosa Pink circle lenses. I recieved these lenses from Uniqso.com a month ago. Yes I know, I'm a bit late with this review >.<" but I finally had the time to write a blogpost about it :).

Review: Dr. van der Hoog Handsome Hand cream

These few weeks I've been trying out Dr. van der Hoog products, which is a Dutch skincare brand. Check out my previous review about their day cream! Today I'm going to review their Handsome repair hand cream (Handsome Herstellende Handcrème). I've never reviewed a hand cream before, so this is going to be my first review of it!

Review: Dr. van der Hoog Fresh Expression Day cream

People who are living in The Netherlands must have heard about this brand: Dr. van der Hoog. I've been using products of this brand for a long time, especially their face masks. It's really my favorite Dutch skincare brand that there is. They recently changed their whole line including the packaging. Dr. van der Hoog offer products for normal-combined skin, dry-dehydrated skin, sensitive skin, oily skin, mature skin and also products for people who are starting to get wrinkles. If you don't know which skin type you have, you can do this test to figure it out: Skintype analysis.

In this blogpost I'm going to review a product of their new line: the Fresh Expression day cream with SPF 15 (Fresh Expression Verstevigende dagcrème SPF 15). Their Fresh Expression line, is for people who is starting to get wrinkles. These products will improve the elasticity of your skin and will keep it young because of the manilkara leaf extract which is included.

Review: Retractable brush from Bornprettystore.com

Review: GEO Tri-Color Gray from Lensvillage.com

A few weeks ago, I received a pair of lenses from Lensvillage.com for review purposes. Today I'm going to review the GEO Tri-color gray lenses.

I reviewed the Geo Tri-color blue a while back: see blogpost.

It came with a cute purple case to store the circle lenses. I love it that most of the websites will give a cute case with your purchase. However, I personally prefer the simple cases which are a bit transparent, so that I'm able to see which circle lenses are inside. It's confusing if you have a lot of circle lenses at home with the same cases >.<".
