Shoplog (Primark and Claire's)

Heyyy, today I went shopping with two friends, to celebrate that our testweek was over. We went to Rotterdam, but we got lost because of all the different names of the metros. When we finally got there, we first went to the Primark. I bought a few things there:

A black bag, because I needed a new handbag. My old one has cuts in it, so I think this is a good replacement. 

I also bought this neon/dark pink crop top (I know it looks red here, but it is pink). It's a little too cold now to wear it in the Netherlands, but I think the lace sleeves are cute and I couldn't let it lay there...

The last thing I bought from the Primark was this denim skater skirt. I was looking for a black leather one for a few months now, but it was one sale for €3, so I had to buy it. 

We also went to a jewelry store called the Claire's. As you can see in almost every 'looks of the week' post, I don't wear a lot of jewelry (I almost never wear jewelry). Most things don't feel nice on my skin or they make a lot of noise. But in my previous shoplog I showed you the leopard printed bow headband. It looked nice and didn't irritate me, so I wanted to buy a few more in different colors. I bought two different types:

This pink bow headband (picture taken in the Claire's). It's made of a satin-like fabric and has a silver metal thing as the centre of the bow. The color I wear the most is probably pink, so I thought a pink headband would match good. 

I also bought a dark blue bow headband with a flower pattern. Dark blue combines well with almost everything I have, and it was on sale for €2 and it is cute and I needed it... (I sound like a shopping addict here, but I'm not.)

This was it for today. Tomorrow I'm going to the open house day of an art school, so maybe I'll post some pictures of my portfolio. 

I hope you like it :D

Stopmotion and one year anniversary

Heyy, I've noticed I missed the one year anniversary of this blog. On January 8, it existed on year. I didn't do anything special, I wanted to, but I didn't had any time because of a school project. We had to make a stopmotion, and we decided to draw every picture. We've worked on it for 9 weeks and I'm very proud of the end result. We made a stopmotion on Miley Cyrus' song Wrecking Ball and I wanted to show it here. It is on my school youtube channel.

Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGAcfqvuufU

I hope you like it and up to the next year :D

Shoplog (Primark and other shops)

Heyy, yesterday and today I went shopping (sort of). Yesterday I went to the movies with my best friend, but we had some time left before the movie, so we went to the Primark. I totally love the Primark! I didn't buy much though, because I didn't brought extra money with me, only the money for the movie and some extra. I bought a t-shirt and a sweatshirt. Here they are:




The first one is a grey striped t-shirt with a panda and says FREE HUGS, the second a sweatshirt with tiny pandas. I totally love and adore pandas, my sweet sixteen cake was a cake with 3 Tare Pandas stacked ontop of eachother. Officially they are pajamas, but I think you can also wear them as regular. The t-shirt maybe not to school, but on a free day or to dancing lessons... Today I wore the sweatshirt and it looked nice.

Today me, two friends and a mother went to a town on the other side of the county (Zwolle), because there was an old church with a bookshop in it (and we are obsessed with books). We went to a church for our Art/culture lessons, because we have to do 6 cultural activities, and we thought, why not combine that with shopping in a new town. In the bookshop I bought the book Divergent:

One of my friends had already read it and recommended it to me, and since the movie is coming in March, I want to read the book first (so I can fantasize about it).

We then saw the Claires (a jewelry shop), so we went there imediately. I didn't buy jewelry, but I did buy some hair accesories. A hairband with a bow, and a bow hairclip:




The hairband is black with a white bow with neon colored leopard print, the hairclip is a suede white bow with studds. As you can probably see in my 'look of the week/day' posts, I don't do much with my hair, but I want to change that. More acesories, braids, ponytails, ect.

The last thing I bought are to notebooks at the H&M:

At a portfolio consultation at an art academy, they gave me the advise to buy a notebook without lines, and draw, scribble, write and scetch every idea in that. The only thing about these notebooks is that the insides are colored. One has pink pages, the other purple.

This was my shoplog for 2 and 3 January. I hope you liked it :D

25 question TAG

1. Do you have any pets?
Yes, I have one dog and 4 cats :) (I'm not going to post pictures because I already did that once, in my '50 random facts about me' post I think)

2. Name 3 things that are physically close to you.
My laptop (duh, I’m typing this), my beanie (which is next to me on the couch) and this thing you need in Mathematic to make perfect circles (I don’t know how it is called in English and neither does the Google translator)

This thing, if you know what it is in English, would you please tell me in the comments...

3. What's the weather like right now?
The weather at 12:11 PM on January 2 is cloudy, the temperature is around 7 degrees Celsius.

4. Do you drive? If so have you crashed?
No I don’t drive, because I’m only 16. I’m also not planning on taking driving lessons next year, because I don’t need a car to go to places. To my school is 10 minutes cycling or 30 minutes walking (but I don’t walk to school), we have stores and snack bars close to home, and if I want shopping, I take the bus or my mother/father drives.

9:30 AM

6. When was the last time you showered?
Yesterday evening

7. What was the last movie you saw?
CATCHING FIRE!!!


8. What does your last text message say?
My best friend sent me: “Should I order some tickets?” because we are going to the movie.

9. What's your ringtone?
I don’t know, I think it’s just some “ping” sound…

10. Have you ever been to a different country?
Yes, multiple times. I’ve been to Spain (vacation when I was 6 or so), Indonesia (vacation when I was 10), Belgium (school camp 8th grade and vacation last summer), France (school camp 9th grade) and I’m going to Germany with 10th grade school camp.

12. Where do you buy your groceries?
Well, since I’m 16 and live with my parents, I don’t buy groceries :)

13. Have you ever taken medication to help you fall asleep faster?
Yes, I take them every night actually. At night, I get all good/creative ideas while I have to sleep, so to help me I take medication, because otherwise I would be drawing every night until 3:00 AM

14. How many siblings do you have?
I have one sister, she is 14 (since December)

15. Do you have a desktop computer or a laptop?
I have a laptop, which is already 4 or 5 years old. It has a 15,4’’ wide display, so it’s pretty big, and it’s heavy, so I can’t take it to school.

I will be turning 17 (my lucky number) :)

17. Do you wear contacts or glasses?
Nope, I don’t wear contacts or glasses and I don’t need them.

No. In second grade I had blond highlights (but that is a LONG time ago) and last year, I had pink dip dye for one day (I used dye that you can wash out because I didn’t know how it would look). But other than that, I’ve never colored my hear.

I don't know if you can see it, but I had pink dip dye here...

19. Tell me something you are planning to do today.
Going to the movie with my best friend :)

20. When was the last time you cried?
December 18th, because I had a huge stress moment about my Christmas party dress and the preparations for the sleep over after party.

21. What is your perfect pizza topping?
When I eat pizza, I make it myself. I put ketchup on it instead of tomato sauce and I also use minced meat with specific spices. I never order normal pizza or eat pizza in a restaurant, because I don’t like melted cheese.

22. Which do you prefer hamburgers or cheeseburgers?
Hamburger, because I’m not a fan of cheese.

23. Have you ever had an all-nighter?
Yes, at school :)
Our school is called ‘Wolfert Lyceum’, so we had a ‘Night of Wolfert’, which means you can spend the night at school playing games and dancing and having fun at night. I remember that we were playing brainteasers at 2:00 AM with our chemistry teacher. Playing brainteasers at 2:00 AM is really fun :D

24. What is your eye color?
Brown…

25. Can you taste the difference between Pepsi and Coke?
Yes I can. I don’t drink Coke or Pepsi often (I prefer ‘Fanta’), but I can taste the difference.

This was it. I hope you liked it :D

NEW YEAR!!!

Heyy, it's 2014 :D

In this post I'm going to talk about my new year intentions, and a new thing for this blog.

My new year intentions are:
• Lose more weight
I think this is probably on every girls list. I'm already working on it, so I want to keep doing it in 2014.

• Keep high marks
This school year, my marks are very good, much better than the previous schoolyear. I'm doing the 10th grade again and on a lower "level" (in the Netherlands we have multiple levels in schools), but I want my grades to be as good as they were last half year.

• Keep in contact with my friends
I want to keep in contact with friends I don't see everyday. Last year I sometimes forgot that, but I don't want to loose them, so I have to make sure to keep in contact with them.

• Make better a planning for homework, social life and friends combined
In my planning, I sometimes forget to plan in nice things as hanging with friends. Or I make a planning for my blog, and I get stressed because I don't have time to post things. In 2014, I want to make better plannings.

• Be happier with myself
In 2014, I also want to be happier with myself. Last year, I got in a huge depression, and I want to prevent that this year.






Also, I'm planning on doing a Monthly question TAG every month, about the things I did, my favorite stuff, things I bought, ect. So I will begin today with the Monthly question TAG of December 2013:

1. Nicest thing that happened
One of my favorite things of this month was the Christmas party my school gave. It was so awesome!


Some photos of me and some friends at the party

2. Something you’re proud of
I got a 10 for mathematics. First it was a 9.7, but the teacher made a mistake, so it was a 10. I had promised that when I get a 10 for math, I would bring some treat, so I made cupcakes :)

The cupcakes I made for my class


The special Mathematics cupcake I made for my teacher :)

3. One crazy fact about you
I can spell the word ‘Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia’ super fast.

4. Biggest obsession of the month
Catching Fire/Josh Hutcherson <3 (he doesn’t know it, but I’m gonna marry him)

5. Movies you saw
Catching Fire (I’ve already seen it 3 times) and Big Time Movie (it was on Christmas Eve, my sister and I were home alone and we don’t really like those Christmas movies and this was the only other thing that evening).

6. Books you read
Catching Fire… I know there isn’t much diversity in my answers this month, but in the beginning of January, I’m going to a books store with a friend whose obsessed with a lot of book series, so I’ll have read much more next month.

7. Drawings you made
I've already posted the drawings I made in another post, but since that post, I made another drawing.

This is Finnick from Catching Fire...

8. Favorite music
A lot of Rascal Flatts songs, but also the song ‘shattered’ by Trading Yesterday (non-MTT version). I found it in a Hunger Games fanvideo on youtube and since then, I’ve been sort of obsessed by it. It’s kind of very sad, but also perfect for a lot of things.

9. Played any games?
Yes, I’ve played Panem Run (temple run in Catching Fire version), Ruzzle (a game were you have to form words), and wedding dash (a game were you have to make sure the weddings are perfect, ect.)

10. Fashion you bought
I haven’t bought much clothing lately, but I have the blue dress I wore to the Christmas school party (and my sister’s birthday). I hope that I will have new clothes next month, because it is winter, but I don’t have much warm clothes. In the Netherlands, the winter sort of hasn’t started yet (normally in December it is freezing and snowing, now it’s usually above 5C and the sun is shining), but I think in January/February it will freeze and be cold and snow…


11. Other stuff you bought
Except for food, I haven’t bought anything last month. It’s not that I’m saving my money, it’s that I don’t really need anything right now.

12. Something new you learned
I learned that I can’t shrink shrinky dink charms without my mother’s help :)

I hope you liked it :D

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!

New shrinky dink jewelry

Heyy, it's almost 2014!! I had some ideas for new shrinky dink charms, so I drew them a few days ago and yesterday I wanted to shrink them, but I failed completely... some curled and wouldn't flatten, some wouldn't shrink at all and just started bubbling... but luckily my mother came and helped me, so now they are flat :)

This was before I tried to shrunk them:


And this is after my mother helped me:


Some I turned into a necklace or ring, so I will show a close up of them:


A puzzle piece charm with a Hunger Games quote: "You love me. Real or not real?" "Real" ~ Peeta & Katniss
This is one of my favorite quotes from the book series, it's so cute <3
Another Hunger Games charm. Made the quote myself: "Don't keep calm cuz Finnick Odair is in his underwear"
In the book 'Mockingjay' there is a small scene where Finnick is in his underwear, so that's why I made this...


A triangle with a Criminal Minds quote: "Yes I'm a genius." ~ Spencer Reid
In the first criminal minds episode ever, there was a scene where someone asked Spencer Reid if he was a genius or something, and he answered: "I don't believe that intelligence can be accuratly quantified, but I do have an IQ of 187, and eidetic memory and can read 20.000 words per minute." He gets a weird look, so he then said: "Yes, I'm a genius." And I love that scene, I have the whole quote memorised...


'I loaf Peeta' ring. I wanted to make some rings, and this just came up to my mind.


This scene in the movie ASDFGHJKL!!! "Want a sugarcube?" ~ Finnick <3
"I'm more than just a piece in their games." Hunger Games quote said by Peeta...


JHutch <3 short for Josh Hutcherson. The piece is only a little to big...
This was like a huge fail... I wanted to make rings from the shrinky dink paper,but it wouldn't work. The thing with 'always' started rolling up and wouldn't roll out again, the other was a little better, but still not good (it was to big and the ends went up)

I also made two hello kitty's but they are too tiny to do anything with


This was it for today! I hope you like it :D

Catching Fire TAG *contains spoilers*

Heyyy, today I got a Catching Fire TAG, because Catching Fire is the most awesome movie you'll ever see.

*It can contain spoilers if you haven't seen the movie yet, and it could contain spoilers for Mockingjay (both the book and the movies)*

1. How fast did you read Catching Fire?
I’ve read the Dutch version in a few hours, the English version took me a little longer. I’m a fast reader, and this book was so awesome, I couldn’t stop reading. I read the Dutch version on my vacation in Turkey, and in 4 days I’ve read both Catching Fire and Mockingjay twice.

2. What district would you be from?
I would like to be from district 4 or 8. District 4, because I like the beach and warm weather (and Finnick ;p). District 8, because it is the textile district, which means making clothing. I know district 8 is poor, but still. Or maybe I could be from district 1, because if I were reaped for the Games, someone (hopefully) would volunteer for me :)

3. What scene were you most looking forward to see in the movie?
The roof scene (with didn’t make it to the movie), Finnick giving Peeta CPR, the sugar cube scene (we seriously brought sugar cubes to the theatre, and during this scene, I almost choked on a sugar cube ;p), Finnick and Katniss scaring Peeta awake in the arena (didn’t make it into the movie), the beach scene and every Everlark kiss <3 (and every scene with Finnick)

4. Which of the clock tics would freak you out most?
Probably everything. From 12 to 1 o’clock is thunder, and I have some sort of phobia for thunder. From 2 to 3 is the poisoned fog (and who wouldn’t found that scary). From 3 to 4 the terrifying monkeys. From 4 to 5 the jabberjays with screams of your loved ones. From 6 to 7 the ‘beast’ (you don’t know what it is, you only know it would tear you into pieces). From 11 to 12 the insects who could easily eat your skin of your bones. The only things that wouldn’t scare me, are the blood rain (1 to 2 o’clock) and the flood (10 to 11 o’clock).


5. The saddest death?
Mags’ and Brutus’ deaths. Mags’ death because it tears Finnick apart and because she volunteered for Annie and then sacrificed herself for Peeta and Brutus’ death because it is the first person to be killed by Peeta. Peeta had never killed anyone, and now he kills Brutus (you can’t see this in the movie, but it is told in the Mockingjay book). It’s not really a sad death, but it is sad that Peeta kills someone. In the first movie he said he would only kill someone when it was “necessary”, but he killed Brutus out of anger because Brutus killed Chaff. On the other hand, I’m kind of proud that his first kill was a Career :)


6. Which weapon would you want?
I would want a trident, because they are awesome, but I know I probably couldn’t handle one, so probably a knife or a sword. (Or I could go for camouflage like Peeta, and be a stone until everyone is dead… because that is something I can do)


7. What would be your token?
Probably like a necklace or my iPod or something. I can’t imagine being forced into somewhere with only one thing from home. I probably couldn’t chose one item, because I’m emotionally attached to a lot of things.

8. Favorite character?
Katniss, Peeta, Finnick and Johanna! Katniss is such a strong character, and Jennifer Lawrence did such an amazing job portraying her. Peeta is so cute and hot at the same time (I love Josh Hutcherson). Finnick is just awesome (see question 12), and Johanna is so cool. I loved the elevator scene, her interview with Caesar and her behavior in the arena was so badass.

Katniss Everdeen


Peeta Mellark


Finnick Odair


Johanna Mason

9. Favorite ships in Catching Fire?
Everlark (Peeta + Katniss) and Peenick (Peeta + Finnick). I ship them so hard. I also ship Joshifer (Josh and Jennifer) and Jam Hutcherflin (Josh Hutcherson and Sam Claflin).

Everlark <3 (I know this is not a real Catching Fire pic, but I love it)
Jam Hutcherflin <3 10. Favorite Katniss outfit? Her wedding dress. It was such a beautiful dress, I thought it should have stayed that way and not change into the mockingjay dress.

11. Favorite Peeta moment?
The beach scene. He was so cute there <3 and his genius interview with Caesar =) Oh and the scene in the train on their way to district 11

12. What did you think of Finnick?
FINNICK IS SUCH AN AMAZING CHARACTER!! Not only his looks, but also his personality. In Mockingjay (the book), you get to see more of his true personality and I think he is very beautiful on the inside too. And Sam Claflin is very handsome <3



I hope you liked it :D

What did you think of Catching Fire? Let me know in the comments

Firsts TAG

Heyy, I have another TAG for you. It is called the ´firsts´ TAG, it´s about the first time you did a certain thing, like having a pet... I hope you like it :)

1. First word
I don’t know, probably ‘mama’ or ‘papa’.

2. First best friend
My first best friend is the daughter of a friend of my mother. Since birth, we were put together. We went to school together from first till sixth grade. We went to different Middle schools. We aren’t best friend anymore, and we don’t see each other very often.

3. First pet
When I was born, my parents already had pets. We had a dog, ‘Luke’ and two cats, ‘Tim’ and ‘Jim’. My parents had to bring the dog away, because he bit me when I was one year old. The cats both died when I was twelve. My first pet was a hamster, ‘piepie’.


4. First fear
This is a really stupid fear. My grandparents had itchy fabric carpeting. I could already walk, but when I got there, I crawled on my knees and elbows. I don’t know if it was a fear or not, but I know I didn’t like how it felt. And I think soon after that came a phobia of spiders, which I still have.

5. First mentor
I got my first mentor in seventh grade. She was the art & design teacher. I think I was one of the few people who liked her, but I think it has something to do with the fact I like art and I didn’t cause any trouble, so I had nothing to be afraid of. My grades were very good, I didn’t get bullied and I was nice to the other students and teachers. All the mentors I’ve had, were female. I like that, because I think the female mentors at my school are more serious, so if you have a problem, they will help you.

6. First message you got today
My first message is an email from my spencer reid youtube account. Someone posted an reaction on my channel, that she likes my Spencer/JJ videos.

7. First car
I’m 16, so I don’t have a car yet. But I have some ideas of how my first car should look like. I want a big car, because my parents have one and I am used to it. I also want it to be neon pink, like super bright, but I think (and hope) I will change my mind when it comes to the point of buying one.

(Like this, but more neon)

8. First phone
It was a pink Samsung lady phone. I got it when my mother got a new phone, because it used to be hers. I got it in 6th grade to the beginning of the 8th grade. Then I got another phone my mother had used. The phone I own now is the first that wasn’t used by my parents. I have a Samsung galaxy ace now, but soon I get my father’s iPhone 4.

9. First date
I don’t know if I ever have been on a “real” date. I’ve had a boyfriend for 2 years and 11 months, but that was from October 2006 to September 2009. I was 9 years old when he became my boyfriend, so it wasn’t very serious. So I guess I have never been on a date…

10. First boyfriend
My first boyfriend was a boy from my class. He is the boyfriend I mentioned in the previous question. My best friend and I were sitting on the swings at the playground and she asked me which boys from our class I liked. I mentioned his name and that’s when we saw him across the street. My best friend asked him if he liked me and he said yes. That night, I wrote him a letter and asked if he wanted to be my boyfriend (I was 9). After school, we met at the toilets (romantic ;p) and it turned out he had wrote a letter for me too. We exchanged letters and then he was my boyfriend. But I think he was more a male best friend for me than a boyfriend. We went to the same Middle school, but we were in different classes. He broke up at 7th grade school camp with half of the 7th graders around.

11. First love
My first “real” love (since my first boyfriend was more like a best friend) was a boy from 7th grade. We were sort of best friends. I almost always fall in love with my male best friends.

12. First youtube video
On my first youtube channel, it was a mash-up that 9 people have seen… On my Spencer Reid channel, it was a Spencer Reid fanvideo on the song starships. I posted it 13 months ago. The first video on my Fashionistar channel is the mash-up E.T.’s DNA a few month ago.

13. First person you subscribed to
I think it was Troye Sivan or COCO Chanou. Troye Sivan is a male youtuber with funny videos, COCO Chanou is a girl who post DIY videos, fashion videos, and kawaii stuff.

14. First big spending
I have never had a big spending. It’s not that I spend my money the minute I get it. I save it, but I don’t know for what. I guess for when I need something.

15. First job
I also have never had a job. I get €5 every week from my parents. In the holiday, I did my best friend’s paper round for two week, so I got money for that. I sell jewelry, and sometimes drawings.


16. First time out of the country
I don’t know my exact age, but I was very young when we went to Spain for the first time. My grandmother used to live there, so we went on vacation to it every summer. When she moved to Indonesia, we went on vacation to Indonesia. Now she lives in the Netherlands, so we stay here.

I hope you like it :D
