Friday night

It's Friday night! Are you ready to sit on the couch or are you going out?

Either way, enjoy the night!

Weekend!

Hello Belles,

I hope all is well! Have you had a good (working) week? Mine was a bit boring haha. Happy to have weekend now.

Today I am going shopping. I hope to find some new shoes and perhaps I will find some nice beauty stuff and clothes as well. We will see. I will post a shop log tomorrow!


Enjoy your weekend!

Summertime!

Hello Belles,

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Maybe you haven enjoyed a nice day on  the beach or two?

My weekend was very nice. Didn't go to the beach though but very much enjoyed the good weather anyway.

Happy Friday -Smile it's Friday

Hello Belles,

It;s happy Friday!

I hope you have had a beautiful week. 

My week has been ok, a bit emotional about the MH17 crash. 

The past few days the victims has been brought back to home with dignity.

*

But I am very happy it's Friday!

 I have no particular plan for the weekend. 

Don't know what to do in the weekend?

Why not join a tourist tour through your city?

Finally, you got the time to read that book you bought 6 months ago

Give that friend you haven't spoken so long a call.

Write postcards for family members you don't see a lot. Just let them know you think about them.

Lazy Sunday morning

Lovely morning coffee date with a friend this morning. 

Wednesday interior day- Summer at the balcony

Next week will be the last part of the summer inspirations. For now some inspiration for a summer at the balcony.

Are you lucky to have a least a balcony? Don't forget to celebrate summer at the balcony.

Include it into your house. For this season it's your outer living room. Enjoy!

Personal-My Passion

Hello Belles,

I hope you have a had a nice week. Maybe you have holiday or it just started this weekend?

Myself  I will not go on holiday so I hope to blog a lot this summer! 


I really discovered my passion; Blogging. Due to time I can't always write as often as I would want to do but I definitely want to continue doing the best I can to improve myself and to keep the blog alive.

I really like the blog and youtube channel of Dulce Candy. She is doing great business with her blog on fashion and beauty. Must be good to be her :-).



What's your passion in life?

Shopping mall Aeroville

Last week I went with a friend to Paris and shopping mall Aeroville and to Beauvais in France.

The shopping mall Aeroville is amazing! It's big, there is a food corner, lot of good shops and it's clean and beautiful!

You can easily spend over half a day there, looking in the shops and eating.

The first 5 hours parking are for free and even the toilettes and parking are amazing to see.

I really would like to go there somewhere next year again. 

Wow!

Even the toilettes are amazing to see

I love the pancakes from McDonalds

Restaurant Meneer Frans-Mister Frans

We have a new hot spot in town!

Meneer Frans ( Mister Frans). A lovely hip and fresh interior, lovely food, good atmosphere.
It is situated between a few stores and also has garden where you also can enjoy the sun and good food.  Not many coffee spots have chai latte besides Starbucks so I was really thrilled to see that on the menu.

I definitely will go there more often!

My sandwich Hummus

   

I like!

Hello Belles,

Sorry for not blogging more often at the moment!

Today I would like to tell you about my new creative project.

I have started experiencing with the Iron on beads. 

At the end I would like to make objects and have a small exhibition for my friends at home.

At Facebook I have created a group for friends called 'Mully's housekeeping'. 

It's a housekeeping /food blog. I might use my Blogger blog Housekeeping and interior again in the future.

Yesterday we had shopping night in town, some stores were open till 24.00 hrs. 

It was quite busy in town because of the good weather. I only bought these pumps for work. But I really love them.

I also went to a second hand store yesterday, I will do a shoplog soon about that shopping session!

One of the first trials

This one matches nice, with my Jillz drink ;-)

I saw this one in the supermarket, It doesn't taste like the real thing at all but I do like it a cold coffee.

The shoes I bought at the Shopping nigt

Hello Belles,

I hope you are doing fine!

What did you do this week?

I had a few days off and really enjoyed the free time.

Wednesday I went to my mother for her birthday and to see her lovely new dog.

The rest of the days I did not do anything special. Today I went to Fighters fit, a training especially for maintaining your fysical condition.

This week I bought the Supertrash dress for the WK. I am not a real 'sucker for soccer' but I do like a nice dress ;-).


Are you ready for the WK?

I am ready for the WK with my Supertrash orange dress.

Hello Belles,

I hope you are well!

Did you enjoy your weekend ? Or maybe you had to work and your weekend starts tomorrow?

Yesterday I went to a make up workshop with a colleague. It was very nice although we did not learn many tips and trics. 

The fun thing was that she used Oriflame products. I am addicted Oriflame beauty member and always become greedy by seeing those brochures.

The workshop did inspire me to build up more my Oriflame business. For a while I noticed I really love beauty products and really would love to do more with this passion. 

I do have some ideas and thinking them through.

Have you ever heard of Oriflame before?

5th of May

Hello Belles,

I hope you are doing great. I have had a busy day yesterday, celebrating my birthday with the families.

Today it is an important annual day in The Netherlands.

The 5th of May, the Netherlands got their freedom back.

Every year this is celebrated with music events in different cities.
Every 5 year (so that will be next year), it is a Bank Holiday. This year for many people (like myself) it is just a regular working day.

Enjoy your day and evening!

Review Concert Racoon

As promised I will tell you about the concert the 24th of April of Racoon.

It was a wonderful live concert! The band is known to be good as life performers.
And they definitely are! I really would like to go to a next concert!
I really enjoyed it. It's quite a short review, I am not music journalist. Just a lover of different kind of music. 

To me the concert was perfect!

Dennis Huige (Guitar), Paul Bukkens (drums), Bart van der Weide (singer), Stefan de Kroon (bass guitar)

Please find below some videos from Youtube from particular concert.

Hello Belles,

how are you?

I hope you are fine.

Today was a very nice day, we bought some plants and flowers for our tiny garden.

tomorrow we will have some family over to celebrate my birthday last Wednesday.

Enjoy the weekend ! 

Fashion shopping!

Yesterday, I went to town quite early with a friend to celebrate King's day. Especially for the street markets, if you go early you will have the best buys. We did! In the morning it wasn't very busy, but at noon the party people were definitely awaken!

That was  a good time to go home, we were tired anyway from shopping from 7.00-13.00  ;-).

I am very happy with my new, 2nd hand clothes! The Karen Millen (top right) bolero was quite special. I always like that brand but it is too expensive for me, this one I got for 10 euro's.

For a while I am rediscovering the 2nd hand clothing shopping. I love it, especially when it's quite cheap (max 20 euro's) but some big brands as Chanel and Louis Vuitton are difficult to get such low prices. 

When I got home, I was pretty tired but satisfied. 

Today I cleaned my wardrobe. I will upload pictures coming week.

Thank you!

Hello Belles!

I just want to thank you for reading my blog. 

I try to post as much as possible, and now I have some kind of schedule made  I actually post more blogs.

Next to blogging I work full time, so that's why my blogs are sometimes short but I am working on becoming a better blogger day by day. 

So just THANK YOU for taking time to following and reading my blog.

Weekend files: Amsterdam

Today, My boyfriend and I went to Amsterdam. It was a big day for fashionistas! The fashion store Forever 21 was opening today😃. 

When we arrived, there was a bit of a queue. So we waited patiently to go in. 

The store had 3 floors and is quite big. 

It was already a bit messy, unfortunately.

The prices are good, average. I do feel like coming back again though. I saw many nice items and it really is affordable. 

Nice to see the body stocking is in fashion again. I also saw them at the Top shop department at the Bijenkorf. 

After visiting some shops we went for drinks at the coffee company. I had a frozen cappuccino. Lovely! 

We were fortunate with the good weather. 

It is a good Saturday so far.
