The Furry Friend Tag

Hello everyone, I saw this tag on www.misslipgloss.nl and I loved to read it. I also love animals and especially dogs, I even think they are nicer than people. So I thought it would be fun to make this tag. Let's go!

1. What's the name of your pet?
My pet is called 'Chanel'. I know it's not so special and a lot of people give their pet that name but I think it suits my pet too.

2. What animal is it and what breed?
She's a dog, a Chihuahua. Maybe this explains why I called her 'Chanel' haha. I'm a small girl myself so I kinda needed a small dog too!

3. How long have you had your pet already?
I have her for two years now.

4. How did you get your pet gotten?
My 'stepmom' (not anymore) got her from someone, don't know thr whole story behind it but she gave Chanel to me.

5. How old is your pet?
Three years old since the 4th of July. She's not American tho!

6. What are a few crazy things about the personality of your pet?
Well she jumps like a kangaroo. When I'm not paying attention because I'm in the bathroom, she sneaks into my bedroom and sleeps on my pillow. Normally dogs sleep in the sofa when they are allowed to, my dog sleeps on the sofa.

7. What does your relationship with your pet mean for you?
A LOT. Chanel is my everything. I hate to leave her when I need to go to college. I try to take her with me as much as I can. She's spoiled, I'm aware of that but I think like “ if you have a pet be good for him/her. They also have feelings and they don't live for 30 years of more.. Just spoil them and you get so much love back.

8. What are your favorite assure unforgettable memories with your pet?
I can't really name one. I just love the little things with her. How happy she gets when she sees that my dad arrived and she can come with us. She's also very sweet she ALWAYS walks behind me wherever I go in the house. When I got home from my surgery I was scared that she would jump on me and hurt me but she stayed calm, kept me company ect..

9. What are the pet names for your pet?
“Mup”, “muppie”. These are Dutch words :)

Do you have a pet? Share it with me in the comments below.

One Direction 'Where We Are' Tour Amsterdam

The concert was on the 24th of June but my trip started earlier. It started the day before by driving to the train station. I went to my friend, from there we would leave for Amsterdam. After an hour I arrived at her trainstation there she picked me up. I was kinda starving so we went to Quick for some yummie fastfood! Then we took the bus to her place, another hour on the bus.. We relaxed a bit and watched 'This Is Us' before going to bed. We were getting nervous..

The next morning we woke up at 7am, not very tired.. WE WERE EXCITED!! We took the train to Antwerp, it was only 15 minutes. We still had more than an hour to take the train. Where we went to? Is that even a question? Starbucks ofcourse! We didn't had breakfast yet so perfect timing! We almost stepped on the wrong train but damn we were happy when we arrived in Amsterdam. We still needed to buy tickets for the metro but first, pizza! No we didnt't eat anything healthy, oops! We already saw a few fans in the station and when we asked the woman behind the information desk which metro was the best for us she also told us that her daughter was going. "Have fun girls!" She literally screamed. Also our hotel was full of fans "Also going to One Direction tonight?"

We went to the Amsterdam Arena by bus, it was only 10 minutes driving. As we stepped out we walked to the "Hot Ticket" desk to the registered. "Go to section E." We passed by all the fans who were waiting for hours already. We showed our Vip-pass and were at our seats in no-time. For real, it was so chill, no screaming of pushing. We had amazing seats and I enjoyed it so much. Zayn his highnotes can still bring me to tears *-*. If you are going to a show I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. This was the 5th time that I saw them and my third concert, I keep falling in love with them.

After the amazing concert we took the bus, which was full of fans, back to our hotel. The next day we went to Starbucks again. On our way home we got stuck in the train for 45 minutes because there was an accident between a train infront of us and a passenger. We were so stressed becaused we missed our connection but we made it in the end.

This was the second time that I met my friend Chelsea and it was so so so soooo good! Can't believe we're going back to Düsseldorf in a few days. We have standing tickets then. Let's see which memories we can make there!

You get the greatest memories while traveling.

Hospital update.

Hello everyone,

I'm typing this with one hand.Why? On the 1st of April, I've got a surgery and it's not a joke ;). At the moment I'm not allowed to move my left arm. Well, I can only move my fingers and if I try to move more, it hurts really bad. I was supposed to go home a few hour after the surgery but I felt really dizzy from the anaesthetic. I had to stay an extra night in hospital. Now I'm home and my mom and boyfriend are taking care of me. My boyfriend sat the whole day next to my bed in the hospital while mom was working in the hospital. I can't do much on my own, I need help with everything. This is day 3 and I'm already tired of it. I'll try to write other articles. I'll probably feel better in the upcoming days.

Thank you for understanding.

Valentine for singles.

It's still January but I dare to say that in two weeks you'll see the color red and a hearts everywhere in your city. Some people, mostly people with a relationship love this time of the year.  But it's not that fun for singles, seeing all the people being in love, spoiling each other. In most cases you just want to run to another planet on that day. The media concentrates on the people who are in love and not on the people who wanna be loved. I wrote this post for the single readers on here who can't call their best friend on this day.

Let's start to make Valentine wonderful!

1. Watch your favorite movie

2. Make your favorite food

3. Cuddle with your pet

4. Face mask and a long bath!

5. Read a book

I hope you'll have a lovely evening! Let me know what your plans are!

OOTD February #1

Today I'm back with an Outfit Of The Day. It's pretty cold in Belgium but you still wanna look stylish. You understand me right? :D

Let's start with my face. I kept it rather basic, I only made my eyes a bit smokey but not too dark.

I made a bun to make it more classic.

(Let me know if you want to know which products I used.)

This red pullover is from ZARA. SO SOFT AND COZY. I bought it during the sales for less than €20!!

I bought this necklace a while ago at ZARA. I love how it can make your outfit complete.

And yes also this skirt is from ZARA. Well, you can that it is my favorite shop :D. I used to be the girl with the skinny jeans, don't even think about me in a skirt! At a moment it just changed and I started to like the more 'girly' things. Finding the right skirt is really difficult for me, I'm really picky when it comes to clothes. But it was just love at first sight with this one!

I found these stocking pants somewhere in my closet by accident. It gives the outfit something extra I think.

My shoes are the "chelsea boots". Not the real ones tho! Founds these in Milan in my size 35 (2 UK)!

I hope you liked it xo

"Lately I've been waking up alone."

Can I start this article by saying "I had a SHITday." No? Yes? Anyway, I had one of those days today. I decided to leave it behind. "Head up miss!". My dad is kinda ill like the rest of Belgium. And when I'm not here he just lays on the couch, watching movies and hoping that he'll feel better the next day. And then I come in, "Dad let's go!". We took my dog with us and walked for an hour or something. Beside that another dog wanted to eat my little doggie, it was relaxing. There were these two dogs walking in the garden and their boss was working outside. When we passed their house one of the kinda big dogs started to run after my dog. I could keep him away from my dog while my dad took care of her. And then the boss came and stomped his dog. I kept my hand infront of my eyes, I couldn't believe what had happened. I had to wipe a few tears..

Please, whatever your pet does, don't hurt him/her please..

Personal challenge.

Everyone starts now to make a list with his good intentions for 2014. I started a few weeks ago already. I was talking to a guy from class. He told me he drank 3 litres of water per day. That is pretty much and certainly for me. I barely drink one litres in a day, when I told him about it he challenged me. And I wanted to prove myself, I also wanted to prove that I could drink 1.5 liters of water per day. Since that time I always had a bottle of water next to me. When When ithe bottle was empty I sent it to that boy. I've been doing good for two weeks now. I must admit that I do not succeed every day, especially when I'm not home that much. But I do my best and will certainly do in 2014. Drinking water is so healthy. It's good for your kidneys, for your skin, you lose weight from it and you feel just  a lot better!

Reading for nerds?

“Reading? Ew no! I only do that when school asks me to!”  These world could come easily out of my mouth a year ago when the teacher started to talk about the book reviews that we had to do throughout the year. To say nothing about the sermon that she started. “Reading is really important, you have to keep doing it!” I heard this so many times. Our school gave us the books that we had to read. “These won prizes, they are in the top 10!” After I had read these books with great difficulty.. No, I had read a part. Just enough, I read just enough to understand the story. But still I don't understand why they had won prizes. Weird sentences, old-fashioned and depressing. Yes, I got that feeling!

It was in January this year, it was a rainy day and I had no homework for the first time. I was going to do some shopping with mom and I went to the books section. ' Fifty shades of grey ' I pulled out a book from the rack. I had heard many good things about the book, it was a hype! I didn't want to be the grey mouse who couldn’t join the conversation when other were talking about it. That night I literally fell asleep with the book in my hands. Never happened before! I have read the first two books of Twilight and a bit of the third one but I stopped because I didn’t like it anymore. Meanwhile I'm reading the third book, ' Fifty shades freed '. The story still gets my attention. I like reading now. Yes, nice! You are seeing the things all of a sudden in a different way. It’s also relaxing!

Teenagers don’t like to read. Everyone also has the image you only read if you are quiet and don't like to be social. Thanks to the hypes, people who never read start to get curious and grab a book. Usually you come in contact with books for a book review on school because you have to do it. You want a book as small as possible and it should be finished as soon as possible. Half of young people take something out of the racks without looking. Therefore, I recommend you to search for the book that appeals to you. Look at the cover, read the back. You don’t want a boring book, right? So try to discover what genre appeals to you. You're going to see that you won’t see reading as a punishment anymore. Maybe soon you’ll read a thick book in 1,2,3!

Note down: reading is NOT for nerds.

Internet friendship.

Do you have an internet friend? Do you have many of them? How far do they live from you and is your friendship real? A lot of people ask it themself cause do you think that you can get to know someone on the internet? On TV you hear a lot of stories about boys and girls who get to know each other on the internet and meet up but then it doesn't end that good when it's on the news. But are there also nice stories about internet friendship?

Personally, I have a bit of experience with internet friendships. I got to know my first internet friend in 2010 via Twitter. We talked a bit and we started to talk more and more. She was from Denmark, I was from Belgium. When we both had an iphone we gave eachother our number and the Imessage- conversations started. Stine from Denmark knew a lot about me. She knew about my problems but I also told her the most random things that happened to me. Our parents knew about their daughter talking to someone far away from them cause we sent eachother letters and postcards. This summer I decided to visit her. I took the plane on my own. Off to Denmark, off to Stine.

In 2012 I got to know Cindy, also via Twitter. From the first day on we started texting and we didn't stop! She only lived 30 minutes away from me. We met up and it was like we knew eachother for so long! No single awkward moment! I also can tell her everything, she's always there to put a smile on my face. We went twice to London, once to Cologne and other events and concerts! I also celebrated NYE with her and more parties to come!

Since a short time I talk with Chelsea, a girl I met on Twitter. It started two days before the concert of One Direction in Belgium and since that they we didn't skip one day of talking! I tell her almost everything via text, imessage, Twitter or Facebook. I haven't met her until now but that will happen really soon!

(Do you want me to vlog my meeting with her or read a blog about it? Let me know!)

I can only say, don't be scared to meet up with internet friends. Take a (maybe) risk. But always be careful!
