I moved out!

Yes, the time was there. Yesterday evening my dad drove me and my bike to Utrecht (one of the biggest citys in Holland), to my new room. I rent a room in an appartment which is owned by a 26 year old girl, which is cosy. We get along good so far! I also live 5min from Ikea, which is ideal for a decoration nerd like me (I was there today, alone - so proud- and nearly had a heart attack from not being able to decide what to take home).

I also cooked my own dinner for the first time (so proud, times 2). Wasn't the first time I cooked dinner, but it was the first time I cooked just for ME. With MY OWN GROCERIES. Which I BOUGHT. With MY MONEY. That I WORKED FOR.

You see, I need capitals to express myself, so I am proud.

I made Babi Ketjap btw. And I learned to never trust pictures of meals that you will make, when you buy the box with herbs and stuff. Its another level of photoshop I promise you. Ofcourse I made way to much food (did you really think I could finish that plate?), so the freezer is stuffed with enough Babi Ketjap to feed an entire country.

As you see my room is mostly white, which I like a LOT. But I do wish I could put some pictures up, which I think I cant. I'm totally eyeing some on Etsy. (If you don't know Etsy you don't know what happiness is)

XOXO

You see that picture under this post?

Yeah, that's Pont d'Arc, a natural formed way for the river called Ardeche. I kayak'd (how do you spell THAT?) under there.

Holiday was lovely, my boyfriend has not sent me the pictures yet but we had a lovely time. Aside from getting stung by a wasp (they are demons I tell you) and getting into a car crash (nobody got hurt, just very shaken). And I'm so proud of my strong survival guy, me and my family kayak'd (?!) 8km under Pont d'Arc, and a few days after that my boyfriend went back and did 24km!

Will update with photo's when I get them.

XOXO

Holiday

So so so busy. But now...

Holiday.

Yes, I'm leaving for 2,5 weeks to France. Say bonjour to croissants, le soleil, le vin, le pain et les hommes tres ehh.. cute. Looking forward to it! Will be a family trip with my boyfriend coming along :)

I'm not joking when I tell you there's at least one big shopper filled with books (probably around thirty books?) and around ten magazines coming along. Yeah, we're talkative. Lol.

Enjoy your vacay!

XOXO

Ps. anyone watching Tour de France? I'm OBSESSED.
Pps. I'm also very much in love with all the strong men in tiny suits, are they this handsome every year?

The crocodile

I have a new pet. It's a crocodile. So I'm dangerous.

So actually it's my first designeritem ever. I LOVE my new sunglasses, LOVE LOVE LOVE them. I feel so ready for summer.

I thought I deserved to buy myself a gift after an amazingly good schoolyear filled with lots of hard work and learning. Besides, almost all of my sunglasses are broken.

Now, I can sunbathe in style. But still beware of the crocodile, you never know..

XOXO

The floorissue

Yes, you may think: floorissue? Whuuutt did I miss?

Well, not much really. Darling boyfriend and I do not live together, nor will we for the next year. But I do love to fantasize over how lover and I will spend the days cuddling in each others arms on the couch while we watch tv/read a book/eat food etc. you know the drill.

Then ofcourse, there's this part of my female brain that has a soft spot for decorating. I didn't think I had that spot, but turns out, I located it (so much easier than that other spot -ha).

And how well boyfriend and I manage to co-excist. Only recently it has come to my attention that we cannot, I repeat, cannot. EVER. live. in. the. same. house.

You see, I have a deep DEEP love for white wooden floors. I'm not sure why, might be something to do with how clean and fresh everything looks. Especially with white walls. I actually feel butterflies looking at white floors. That's how much I dream about them in my future home.

Now darling boyfriend, who is a MAN, just for the record, he does not like white wooden floors. Oh no, he likes them BROWN wooden. And even though I do not hate brown floors, I do dislike them when they discriminate on my white floors! Boyfriend says: 'It's mental, you can't relax, the floor drives you crazy looking at it.' And I say it makes everything looks fresh and clean and light. Then he says it's 'clinical' (a word only used by men, I promise you). And then I beg for him to give in, he says no, and then I say we can't ever live together.

Story of my life.

lol. I'm way too young to care about floors, but I do.

I feel like a princess!

Because I got my nails done! I've wanted to have acrylnails for a while, but had a lot of doubts about it too..:

1) Can't wear them while I am goalkeeping
2) They look trashy on a lot of people
3) Will they look fake?

But I also wanted to finally for ONCE have long nails, since I bite. This is why I went to the salon wednesday, since my hockeyseason is now over. I asked for the most natural and shortlooking nails. And am I happy or what? I used to be ashamed of my hands and nails, now I feel like waving to random people just to show my nails, HA.

And they aren't hard to live with either. I used to have fake glue on plastic nails, but you would always feel the pressure of it on your nails whenever you would do ANYTHING. I was afraid it would be like this too, but after a few hours your body kind of realises these are your nails, and since they are glued on so well you realise there's really nothing that can happen.

I can SO recommend this to anyone if you have to money, and know a good salon. I know one, and she is pretty cheap also. But hey, that's only in my town :-)

Today is an historic date..

Because I got my drivers license!!!!!!! I passed the test the first time! I'm sooooo happy it's beyond words. Next week tuesday I'll officially be able to hit the roads!

I'm so proud of myself. I remember the times that I came home from driving lessons and cried my eyes out because I couldn't understand why I couldn't do it. Wasn't I smart enough? Turns out, with enough practice and belief in yourself anyone can do it! And now I legally can!

xoxo

Don't I look charming?
