When I was little, I loved writing stories. One of those stories decorates the cupboard in our hallway ever since I can remember. I thought I’d share that brilliant little story with you today (translated from Dutch). A little disclaimer is needed though: I don’t actually have anything against firemen, I think they’re great. I… Continue reading The foolish firemen
When I was in high school, one of my friends always had this little notebook with her. She wrote in it all the time. I was intrigued by it and asked her what she used it for. She told me it was her little happiness notebook. She filled it with all her favourite quotes, lyrics… Continue reading My little book of happy things
We live in a strange world. With this strange world come strange facts (among loads of other things but let’s focus). The internet is full of lists with these facts and I love reading them. So why not make a list myself with some of my favourites and share them with you in the hope… Continue reading 8 strange facts
2016 was a straaange year for me. Not only because of all the strange and not very good things happening in the world (euphemism, I know), but personally too. I had to be much more honest with myself than I’ve ever had to be before. However hard honesty can be, in the end it’s often… Continue reading 5 things I have learned in 2016

The… Continue reading Book Depository haul

They’ll exercise more, they’ll eat healthier, work harder (or less) at school or work etc. I used to say these things to myself to. I… Continue reading Hello 2017
I’ve always been an admirer of Tchaikovsky ballets. Perhaps it’s due to my obsession with the barbie adaptations when I was young, or it’s merely because they’re just brilliant. However, I never actually went to see one of the performances. When I heard there was going to be a rendition of the Swan Lake in… Continue reading First time: going to the ballet
Happy Christmas everyone!! I hope you’re having a nice day. I’ve had to go to the emergency dentist for a small emergency (they have like 10 Christmas trees!!) but overall it’s been a nice day. However, it’s not a Christmas day without a good old Christmas film. I have not seen every Christmas themed film… Continue reading My favourite Christmas films
I’m a big lover of everything Christmas. December is my favourite time of the year. My friend and I decided to make it even more fun by doing a yearly gift exchange. And what is a gift exchange without some nice gift sacks?! Since I couldn’t find any in the store where I live, I… Continue reading DIY: Christmas gift sack
I love reading. Every time I get my hands on some extra money, I go to a book- or webshop to spend it on some books on my to-read list. Thus, the list of the books I love the most fluctuates a lot (and oncoming month it’ll probably change again since I have a lot… Continue reading My fluctuating list of favourite books (top 5)
