Bedankt Sinterklaas!

Last Saturday I celebrated Sinterklaas with my family. We bought each other presents and we had a great night eating & talking together and unpacking our presents. This is what I got:

1. A hair turban to put my hair in when I've washed it. I haven't tried it yet, but it must be really nice for keeping all of my hair together to dry. 

2. Three nail polishes inside off a christmas ball you can hang in a christmas tree. It contains a red, silver and gold glitter nail polish. 

3. A clutch! I really wanted a new clutch and now I've gotten a really nice one from Sinterklaas! 

I'm not totally sure, but I think my presents are from the Primark. I'm happy with the things I got from Sinterklaas. What did you guys get?

Creative evening - DIY

I have a see-through IPhone case. And tonight I made some new backgrounds/covers to go in there. This is a perfect way for me to: 1. not spend that much money on every iPhone cover I like, 2. getting creative every once in a while and 3. being able to change the "cover" of my iPhone, since I like to change a lot. I think it's awsome and it's very easy to do, so you can do it as well! You just need a see-through cover, some ideas and some paper. You can design it yourself, but offcourse you can also look up a picture you like on the internet. 

Tonight I made these:

Any questions about this nice DIY? Just ask me!

Wandering the streets

Málaga!!

So, in a couple of hours I'm flying back to Málaga!! Me and my boyfriend have been together for one year and he's taking me to Málaga as a surprise. I didn't expected anything at all, so I was really surprised when I saw my bed with rose petals on there in a heart shape and two envelopes next to the heart. In the first evelope was a loving letter and in the second envelope I found the travel documents and the plane tickets! I can't wait to be back in Málaga. I'm going to show my boyfriend everything, I'll be his personal tourguide! I selected some nice pictures from beautifull Málaga for you to enjoy!

Andrélon intensive nightconditioner

Last week I tried this nightconditioner from Andrélon. I saw it at the Action and I took it home with me. I just love the packaging of this conditioner. I think the purple looks really nice. So, I tried this last week and I'm very pleased. You can apply the conditioner on wet or dry hair and you should put it in approximately 30 minutes before you go to sleep, so your hair has dried when you are going to sleep. I tried it on dry hair, went to sleep around 30 minutes later and washed my hair the next morning. The conditioner smells really nice and I think it works really good. My hair needed this. And the nice thing is, my hair smelled like roses for the next days too and it's not that expensive at all!

The heat

Today I bought this lovely perfume. Heat from Beyoncé. This Limited Edition bottle contains 100 ml and I bought it for only €19 at Kruidvat!

No milk | week 4

This was my last week and I'm happy it's over now. Yes, I survived! :) It's too bad it didn't made me feel any better, but I'm happy I can finally eat everything I want again! I must confess, it was pretty difficult. On the other hand it was interesting as well to experience how life would be if you are lactose intolerant.  Because I didn't notice any difference after these four weeks I decided to make a foodjournal. It looks like this:

In here I'm writing down everything I eat and drink and when I go to the toilet. I hope to get something out of this, but it's a nice way too, to write everything down an to be counscious about your food. 

Maybe it's a good idea for you too? 

Favorite products of the moment

1. Schwarzkopf shampoo Cream & Oil

A shampoo for hair with split-ends with Argan Oil and Vanilla blossem. Comes in a bottle from 400 ml. I really like the smell of this shampoo and it makes my hair feel soft and nice.

It restores and conditions the hair to the core:

- Build damaged hair and reduces hair breakage

- Seals the hair fibers and repairs split ends

- For more resistance, flexibility and gloss

2. Niveau bodylotion for under the shower

You just put this on like a showercream. It's really quick in use and makes your skin really soft. I love it!

3. Gosh minérale eye shadow

I'm not really an eye shadow person, but I really like these ones from Gosh. They give a subtle look.

001 mat (primer)

008 violet

007 light blue

003 brown

4. Garnier hydrating day & night cream

The suvstance feels smooth and it's not difficult to apply on your face. It feels good on the skin and I like the smell. It makes my face feel really fresh.

5. Prodent White Now Toothpaste

You just need a little bit toothpaste and it tastes really fresh.

Reunion - Amsterdam

Yesterday I went to Amsterdam to meet my friends I know from the time I lived in Málaga, Spain. A Japanese friend was here for a few days, so she wanted to meet with all of her Dutch friends. It was really nice to meet them all again! We showed her some nice and funny places in Amsterdam (like the canals, Dam square and the red light district) and we let her taste a few tipical Dutch products (Dutch Herring with onions, cheese, Heineken and 'bitterballen'). She liked everything! She also gave us something to taste from her own country: green Japanese KitKat. Unfortunately I couldn't taste the KitKat yet, because it probably contains lactose, but I will try next week when my lactose-free period is finally over! It looks like this: 

It was a really nice day and we had lots of fun in Amsterdam. It felt like old times again and we should meet more often!

MUSIC

No milk | week 3

I found lactose-free milk. It's from Campina and it tastes just like normal milk! It tried the right one on the picture. It's available in most supermarkets. 

Just take a look here if you want to know more about their lactose-free products and selling points.

It's been a long time...

I was doing groceries and as I was walking through the store I sudenly saw my favorite drink from my time in Málaga, Spain: tinto de verano! It's a really nice fresh red wine, which comes from the southern parts of Spain. There are two different versions. I love the one with lemon, but the original one tastes good as well. I am sooo excited, because now I can buy it in a store that's pretty close to me! :) If you're lucky to be living close to me, you should definitly go to the Albert Heijn in Wielwijk Dordrecht (admiraalsplein). If not, you can look here for more locations.

No milk | week 2

So I survived the second week too! It's just a little bit sad that I don't notice any difference so far. But the fact that I can't eat/drink lactose makes me creative with food and that's a good thing. I've turned 21 last friday and it was a challenge not to eat lots of delicious foods. But I looked for little party snacks that were lactose-free, so I could eat nice things as well. 

No milk | week 1

It's been a week now and I must say it's pretty damn hard. Not being able to eat lots of things I love. For example: yesterday I was craving for a Kinder Bueno, because they are sooo delicious, but I shouldn't eat them. I wanted that Kinder Bueno so bad, but I resisted the temptation.

Also, I ate lots of cheese. But I shouldn't eat my beloved "jong belegen" cheese anymore... that makes me a little bit sad, because that's also soo delicious. I'm glad I CAN eat old Amsterdammer (also a cheese, but older so it's okay), so I don't have to live without any cheese at all. 

There are special product available for people with lactose intolerance. All the products from Alpro for instance. This week I was getting used to the flavour of Alpro products,which is a bit different than normal yoghurt/milk/etc. I've tried 1) mild&creamy strawberry 2) mild&creamy vanilla and 3) blauwe bosbes yoghurtvariatie (blueberry yoghurtvariation). 

1) mild&creamy strawberry

I had to get used to the taste, but now I think it's a good substitute for yoghurt with strawberry taste.  

2) mild&creamy vanilla

Good substitute for yoghurt with vanilla taste. I used it with some Cruesli (from Quacker) and it tasted really good.  

3) blauwe bosbes yoghurtvariatie (blueberry yoghurtvariation)

Although the color is really purple, it tasted super! From all these 3 products, this is my favorite!

So, I survived this week. Let's see if I will make it through the next one. 

Louboutin nails

Last week I tried the Louboutin nails. I saw them somewhere and I thought it looked pretty cool.

And so it came that I tried them for myself last week. I have one important tip for you: make sure your nails are long enough so that you can see the redness easily. Also, use a bright red color, so it will pop out. (I used color riche 404 scarlet vamp from L'Oréal and I think this one was to0 dark ).

No milk

4 weeks without milk

I went to the doctor monday to tell him about my stomach aches. He told me that I might have lactose intolerance and that I should try not to eat or drink any lactose for 4 weeks to see if I'm lactose intolerant. So that means no milk, no cheese for this cheeselover, no icecream and lots of "no more's" for me. I'm a little bit sad about that, because there are so many delicious things with lactose or milk as an ingredient. It had just been a couple of days now, but now I see. It must be pretty hard if you're lactose intolerant. I'm looking at this as a challenge and a way to experience how it is to be lactose-intolerant. Wish me luck! And if you have any (food)tips, please let me know!
