The Streek GR Kust had been on my must-hike list for a while and I'm so glad I finally went and did it!

Infamous for its high rise buildings and concrete boardwalks, this trail will show you that there is in fact a very different side to the Belgian coast too. The trail alternates between beach, dunes and woodland, making for a varied view along the way. Don't forget to circle back to the boardwalk sometimes for a much deserved waffle or ice cream! 😉

Ps: the trail is 103km in total. I stopped earlier to meet my friends in Knokke.

Bad Hair

Dry, frizzy, split ends and no real “do”. Oh boy, oh boy. I seriously need to get to the hairdresses ASAP! I can always feel when it’s time for a new cut. I’m not sure what to do with my bangs though… They are pretty long at the moment. I’ve had them sideways for years and I was thinking about trying something totally different this time. But I am SO scared! Do you guys have any ideas? What sort of bangs do you think would look good on me?

Wearing: GAP jeans and tee || Zara vest || gifted ring || H&M shoes and belt

These are the new GAP jeans and striped tee I bought in Lille last week. Someone commented that it is totally legit to buy a striped tee in France (eventhough you already have 4)  and I couldn’t agree more! Talking about trips, I’m going to Germany for the weekend! I have no idea where exactly we’re going nor what there is to see but my mom said something about a river valley, little towns and an old fortress, so it sounds good to me! This is what I love about living in Europe. There are so many different and pretty places to discover and you only have to drive for “a few” hours. On top of my bucketlist is a roadtrip in the USA… . We always want what we can’t have afford, don’t we?

I’ll see you guys after the weekend!

Happy March!

xo Nikki

    You are so cute. I love your fun hair, you should think about going for no-bangs. And a fun bobbed hair cut. But I'm sure whatever you choose will look lovely on you.

    Hello there!
    I'm not sure you should get bangs or cut your hair at all (long red hair is too pretty!), but if your hair is getting dry and frizzy, try to use a deep-conditioning mask. The L'Oréal line in Europe offers excellent ones at good price. And use a wave-enhancing product to let it become wavy rather than frizzy/straight (it's ugly when it happens after you straighten your hair).
    Hope this helps! And I LOVE your outfit, but you need to show us more of your pretty face!
    Love,
    s

    And I'm also having an outburst of split ends, it drives me crazy! I need to try out a product for it, but I'm not sure what works…
    Hmm, not sure what you could try except for blunt bangs. Have you seen that trend? I've done it the past two summers and they've turned out really well. Just know it will make you look reaaally younger unless you're wearing makeup. Haha

    I can tell you that since using Moroccan Oil my hair is WAY less frizzy and dry and I can go a few months longer without going to the salon. It's amazing stuff.
