Everyday Curls Hair Tutorial

Everyday Curls Hair Tutorial

Hey, my loves! How are you doing today? How is your quarantine time? I am spending a lot of time focusing on me. I work out every day and try to schedule everything as much as possible. I also started bullet journaling again which made me feel really happy. These times are really scary, you never know what is coming with the virus that is taking over our world. It is the scariest thing! Please stay safe and insight, I wish you all the best ❤ Let’s move on to today’s post… I wash my hair twice per week, this works best for me and it keeps my hair very healthy. This is my step by step routine to get my blonde, curly hair: 1. First I spray in some heat protection to prevent my hair from damage. 2. The second step is to blow dry my hair with the Formawell Beauty X Kendall Jenner Ionic Gold Fusion Pro Föhn . 3. When my hair is totally dry I like to pull up half of my…

How to grow your blog successfully in 2020

How to grow your blog successfully in 2020

How to grow your blog successfully in 2020 – This morning I woke up to a message from a friend who said: ‘who reads your blog? Like seriously, do people follow you there?’ It sounds like a complete judgment and it made me feel like I had to protect my work. Standing up for myself. I have been waiting nervously for the traffic and income to increase for more than two years. Creating a blog was one big step, getting readers was a whole other challenge. This message came in hard, but it also inspired me to share my tips and tricks to grow a blog-following in 2020. ‘Blogging is overrated’ ‘The work is not worth it’ ‘It is to late to start’ ‘Nobody is going to notice’ Twitter Twitter is your best friend if you want to grow your blog! A lot of people forget about this amazing app that allows you to build up relationships with your following. Lately, I found out that there are groups of bloggers supporting each other there. Share…

5 Lessons I learned in 2019

5 Lessons I learned in 2019

Sweater – ASTR the Label I think we can all relate to the fact that 2019 flew by. Gone before I know. I thought it was about time to reflect. 2018 was a year of growth for me: I started eating vegan, exercising every day and I started to live life for myself. Which made me truly happy with who I am and who I want to be. However, 2019 trough some things on me that had a lot of influence on my stress levels. That changed my perception of life: your perception is your reality! If you see anything as something negative it will turn out that way. As a very positive person, I found this hard to deal with it. So, I am starting off 2020 with a whole other perception and approach. Here are the five TOP things I learned from 2019: Listen to yourself! Speak up if something feels terribly wrong for you.

10 New Year’s Resolutions for a healthy 2020

Hi Loves! First of all: I hope you had a wonderful Christmas time. For me, it is the best time of the year since when I was little. Second: Happy new year! I wish you all the best for 2020 and don’t forget about your resolutions. I took these pictures below in December already, when I was visiting a Christmas market with a good friend of mine. The skirt I am wearing is from My Jewellery Size down because it runs a bit big on the waist! The red scarf is from H&M and I got it in the Christmas sale. Christmas time can be very expensive but sometimes you find the right items that have been on your wish-list for a long time. So, everyone is probably talking about there new year resolutions and how they already broke it. Personally, I find it hard to stay close to my goals because there is so much going on in my life. Especially in 2019, it has been a rollercoaster. So my focus for 2020 will be…
