The past ten years have been a hot mess. Getting two degrees, our first appartment, my first job, moving 40km away from home, our first house, a burnout, a dog, a break-up, a tinder account, a new appartment and a fresh start all while travelling from pillar to post, maintaining a social life, get enough sleep, pay my bills and remember to make dinner before 10PM. Adulting is weird. Still not sure how I get to be unsupervised all the time. Or how I am staying alive. Soooo ready for those dirty thirties, baby. Bring it. ๐ŸŽ‚๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸŽ‰

10 reasons why I will never become a beauty blogger

After my post about why I don’t wear make-up, and my recent co-operation with Demak’Up I received a few questions about beauty blogging and why I don’t do it more often. So I devised a short list of 10 reasons why I should leave beauty blogging to the pro’s and want to stick to my trusted style-niche!

  • I don’t have a clue what I’m doing.
  • “Soooo… bronzer and blush are not substitutes? You use them together?”
  • I never knew your face could be divided into so many zones
  • It took us a total of 3 hours to get my make-up done, take product shots and make portraits. Outfit shooting takes me usually 15 minutes to prepare, 10 minutes to walk to a location and another 10 minutes to shoot.
  • …and I haven’t even spoken about the editing!
  • Getting ย the light to fall on your face just right to avoid shadows is a tough job!
  • I am way to conscious about my skin to let the camera come so close to it. Too. Much. Detail.
  • I have very wrinkly eyelids. Is that weird?
  • IllemasquWHAT? And do I really have “sexplosion” on my face?
  • The only fall out I know is Fall Out Boy. I like their latest album, by the way.
If you, like me, could use a little help with make-up and want to learn the meanings of words like “crease” I suggest you stop by my girls Inez, Natasja, Elien and Natalieย and their blogs for all the tips and tricks you need!

    Hahaha, love this! I could never be a beauty blogger either! While I like make up and trying new products here and there, I mostly like sticking to tried and true products and make up styles. It takes me 10 minutes to get ready in the morning. It’s crazy how it takes some girls a half hour or an hour to get ready! Yikes!

    haha umm are you serious? I thought you used either blush or bronzer too! Are you supposed to use them together? I have no idea how that would work…..

    Makeup confuses me too! I have foundation, powder, blush and mascara and lipstick. But skip those most days to just wear BB cream and lip balm. Easier! ๐Ÿ™‚

2021... What. A. Year. A break-up in spring. My 2021... What. A. Year. 

A break-up in spring. My life in boxes in summer. Moving into my appartement and returning to my job full time after two years in fall. My first dates in winter. All while living between lockdowns and vaccinations. Four stormy seasons finally coming to an end.

Starting 2022 completely clueless, but with nothing but curiosity and a craving to find out where life will take me in the next 365 days. 

2022, LET'S DO THIS. ๐Ÿ™Œ
