Clip en Go: Klaar Voor De Zomer Met Een Nieuwe Haar Look!

Hoi allemaal! 

Ik hoop dat je ook aan het genieten bent van het mooie weer?! Ik ben net terug van een weekendje Rome en ben alweer mijn volgende trip naar Rome aan het plannen. Rome is een van mijn favoriete steden, ik ben er ook opgegroeid en het heeft toch iets speciaals. Naast het bezoeken van musea heb ik natuurlijk ook veel geshopt en erg veel pizza en pasta gegeten. Ik zal gauw een blog post plaatsen waarin ik al mijn kleding met jullie deel. Vandaag wil ik heel graag iets delen over clip in hair extensions. Misschien heb je er wel al eens over gehoord en je kunt er echt alle kanten mee op. Lees gauw verder hoe jij snel en makkelijk een nieuwe look voor de zomer creëert! 

Op OxYExtensions.nl vindt je allerlei soorten haaraccesoires en natuurlijke hairextensions. De webshop heeft een erg goede service en de producten zijn altijd van goede kwaliteit. OxYExtensions biedt producten aan voor een betaalbare prijs zodat iedereen er op zijn best uit kan zien. Wat ook erg leuk is, is dat de webshop een gratis kleuren match service aanbiedt. Zo kun je nooit de mist in gaan en ben je vrijwel verzekerd van de perfecte kleurencombinatie voor jou haar. 

Wat zijn Clip in hair extensions? 

Eigenlijk zoals de naam het al zegt zijn clip in hairextensions een manier om langer en voller haar te krijgen. Het zijn stroken met haar die je bevestigt aan je eigen haar met clipjes. Het is een DIY en het doet geen pijn en beschadigt je haar ook niet. Heb je altijd al gedroomd van lang haar dan zijn deze extensions een makkelijke en supersnelle manier om dat mogelijk te maken. Clip in hairextensions zijn in heel veel verschillende kleuren, maten en materialen. De extensions op OxYExtensions.nl zijn allemaal gemaakt van 100% echt haar. Persoonlijk vind ik dit ook iets mooier omdat het er dan iets echter uitziet dan wanneer je synthetische extensions gebruikt. Het voordeel van echt haar is dat je het ook zelf nog kunt kleuren en krullen. Ik heb zelf wel eens iets gehoord over clip in hair extensions maar ik heb me er nooit echt in verdiept. Ik heb best wel fijn haar en voor een feestje zou ik zeker een keertje de extensions willen uitproberen. Hieronder zie je links iemand zonder extensions en rechts met extensions. Het haar heeft net iets meer volume en ziet er heel mooi uit voor bijvoorbeeld een verjaardag of op een feestje. 

Clip in extensions donker kastanje bruin

Als je donkerbruin haar hebt zoals ik dan is deze kleur extensions perfect voor een natuurlijke en volle look. Je kunt kiezen uit twee soorten maten extensions, 38 cm en 50 cm als je iets langer haar wil. Als je het leuk vindt kun je zelfs een kapsel creëren met highlights door een andere tint te kiezen dan je eigen haarkleur. Deze extensions geven je haar een natuurlijke glans en meer volume. 

Heel erg bedankt voor het lezen van mijn blog! Ik hoop dat je nu een beetje inspiratie hebt opgedaan voor een nieuwe haarlook voor deze zomer. Misschien wil jij nu ook wel clip in hair extensions uitproberen, klik hier om jou extensions uit te kiezen.

Wat vind jij van clip in hair extensions?

Make Time For Your Skin With Garnier Skincare Products

Hey everyone,

From the end of May untill beginning of June Garnier drew attention to the importance of cleaning your face. Taking good care of my skin has always been very important for me. Sinds I was around ten years old my mom learned me to create a skincare routine that suited my skin as a teenager. Now years later I can't thank her enough. There are still many girls and women out there that don't wash their face before going to bed. Waking up with a full face of make-up from a party or even just leaving mascara on is bad. 

I didn't wash my face for a week and this is what happend

I was curious to see what would happen if I stopped washing my face everyday. My skin is quite oily around the t-zone and the rest is I think normal to combination skin. On the first I didn't notice any differences, but I did put a lot of sun cream because I spent a day at the beach. Usually when I come from the beach I was my face with a cleansing product but now I only washed it with warm water. The next day I woke up and my skin was even oilier especially around my nose. I also started to get a few small breakouts on my forehead and around my mouth. On this day I also applied sunscreen and my daily moisturizer. My skin felt like I layered to much creams on top of each other and it didn't feel very good. Basically the next few days until the end of the week were the same, I started getting small breakouts and my skin felt bumpy and did not look so good. After this week I realized how important cleaning your skin is. 

NO MAKEUP NO FILTER, JUST BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT TO EMBRACE WHO YOU ARE AND HOW YOU LOOK ;) #schoongezicht

Why you should clean your face

But why should you take the effort to clean your face? Most women and girls fear aging. The sun damages your skin more than you think and the results are visible years later. Wrinkles start to appear earlier, skin gets dryer and too much sun can in some cases lead to skin cancer. Cleaning your face is just like protecting yourself from the sun. Your skin ages everyday, aging is just a thing we can't avoid. When washing your face before going to bed you help keeping your skin looking young longer. During your sleep your skin uses oxygen to repair and when you have a layer of makeup on it blocks the oxygen. Another reason to clean your skin daily is because you help prevent it from getting dehydrated. Hydrating your skin is the key to avoiding fine lines and waking up with a fresh skin the next morning. Other things you avoid by taking good care of your skin are acne, large pores and irritated skin. 

Garnier SkinActive Hydra Bomb

This moisturizer is perfect if you are in need of some extra hydration. It's a cream you can use daily with spf 10 and with a light texture. A big plus is that because of the light texture I often wear the cream as a primer, a basis for my makeup. My skin is quite oily and I was a bit afraid that the cream would make my skin even oilier. But that is luckily not the case! You feel immediately that your skin is fresh and hydrated. I do want to say that this cream contains ingredients like alchohol, perfume and silicons that you can better avoid if you have a very sensitive skin. 

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Gel Wash
This is a newer product from Garner and comes in two versions, a gel with a green cap for sensitive skin and one in pink for a normal to combination skin. The product is comparable to a face wash, the gel removes all the dirt and makeup from your face. It's also very practical because it comes in a pump so you never use too much of the gel at once and it's more hygienic. I've used it a couple of times but I didn't notice any differences to my skin. My skin did become soft afterwards but that didn't last very long. I can't say it's a great product but the gel is also not very bad. If you like an affordable and easy to use face wash than it's a good compromise. 

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water I like this product a lot better in comparison to the cleansing gel wash. The cleansing water is very mild and soft for your skin because there is no perfume, dyes and parabens. The product does what is promises and removes makeup pretty good. Personally I like to remove waterproof makeup with a cleansing oil, but when you're lazy this cleansing water is also very good. I also have a bottle in pink in a smaller size. 

I kind of expected the products to do more for my skin, especially from the gel wash. Garnier uses quite a few ingredients that are aggressive for your skin and you have to watch out for if you have a very sensitive skin. This ingredients can also do the opposite of hydrating and can dehydrate your skin. I'm still going to use the Garnier skincare products for sure but in combination with other natural skincare products. Brands that look carefully at what ingredients they put in a cream or gel. A fifty dollar cream doesn't always have to be better than a 10 dollar one at the local drugstore. I'm definitely not an expert but there are many experts online that write about what ingredients you have to avoid and which not to choose a good product. Some good skincare brands I like are La Roche-Posay, Jetske Ultee, Dermalogica and Jurlique. 

Thank you very much for reading today's post! I hope you enjoyed it!

Unique Gift Idea: Engraved Wooden Watch

Hey everyone,

It's almost June can you believe that!? After all the exams and stressful weeks I can now see the summer holiday has officially started. I'm really looking forward to starting a new chapter in my life, going to university, meeting new people and see what the future holds. Summer holiday also means more blogging! For today I would love to show you something very cool. Want to know what I'm talking about, read further now!

Creative Use of Technology is a creative company run by three people. Their different backgrounds of architecture and city building introduced them to 3D printing. All the unique qualities combined made the perfect team with endless possibilities that the technologies could bring. From this point on the company was born in 2012, a creative company that lets the customer be creative as well. On their webshop you can find all things wooden, you name it they have it. From wooden lamps, to necklace, to watches and even wooden phone cases. 

I was lucky enough to receive a wooden handcrafted watch. I choose a brown leather strap, but there are also watches completely from wood or in colors like blue and black and all 100% natural. The wooden watches are made from bamboo and come in two different sizes, 43 mm and 36 mm. Both watch sizes are for men and women. The part that really made the watch special to me was that I engraved it. It's custom made and you can choose your own font, size and can even add a cute heart of other symbols you would like to have added. There are so many possibilities and fun quotes to add to the watch. After searching on Google and Tumblr I came across the quote: 'It's Time To Shine.' It's the perfect quote and I really like it. Sometimes it can be challenging to find a gift for someone that's different. A wooden watch is a great gift for your friend, yourself or your loved one to make them feel extra special. It's an affordable and unique gift you'll love for sure! 

I absolutely love my new watch and I'm happy I discovered this company! I never thought I would like a wooden watch but this company showed me the opposite. Ithe watch is really light, and easy to wear and I'll never be late again! Because wood is a very natural shade you can wear your watch with almost every outfit. With the right accessoires you can transform your outfit from your look from casual to glam for a night out. I would love to add more wooden items to my collection. Next on top of my wishlist is a wooden phone case from Creative Use of Technology! 

I hope you enjoyed reading today's post! For an original and special gift you're at the right place. Don't forget to visit the webshop of Creative Use of Technology for many more wooden decorations and ideas!

Summer Hurry Up Please!

Hey everyone,

Summer is my favorite season of the year. Bonfires, sand between my toes, warm weather and not to forget wearing cute summer outfits are all things that make summer the best time of the year. You can never be too early to start shopping for some summer outfits and in my recent post I showed you all my Zara must haves. If you haven't seen it yet you can check it out here. Brands that I really like right now are the fast forward and budget friendly brands. Especially Zara has a great collection and variety of items that you can always find something different and unique. 

Recently I discovered a new brand called Costes. I can't remember anymore how I found out about it, but I think while on a trip somewhere in Holland and saw a shop from Costes.  It's a Dutch fashion brand but are currently expanding and are soon opening a new store in Antwerp. You can find anything from sandals, to date night outfits to jewelry. 

In July I'm going on a family trip to Sardinia in Italy and of course going on vacation means going in style. A bikini is definitely a must have for every beach lover just like me. It's quite difficult too find one that fits good and is right for your body type as well. Most times when you're not looking to buy something you find something. I was looking on the webshop of Costes and came across a very cute pineapple bikini. The bright yellow is perfect for summer and the pattern makes me think of somewhere tropical. Bright colors are really in this summer and with a tan the bikini will look even better! I was in doubt wether to buy the top and bottom both in a small it luckily I bought the bottom in a medium. It fits quite small so I think I could even fit into a large, I just don't need to eat to much pizza haha. Last year I can remember I bought my bikini at Sam Friday, it's a lingerie brand just like Gilly Hicks and the bikini was in grey and light blue. Although I love those shades too, I wanted to try something new and bright this year. 

Thank you very much for reading today's post! I can't wait for summer to arrive and hope you are excited as well!

Wardrobe Essential: Good Shoes Take You To Good Places

Hey everyone,

I can't believe it's already May, time really flies! As summer is just around the corner it's the perfect time to start shopping. FSJ shoes is an online shop that sells shoes for everybody. From bright colored sandals to glamorous and hot heels, no doubt there will be a perfect pair for you. FSJ want to make every woman feel empowered by what they wear. Their goal is also to create trendy shoes but also at an affordable price. When you shop at FSJ you are sure every pair is unique and made with love!

HEELS ARE A GIRLS BEST FRIEND

In every girl's closet heels are definitely the number one must have. They make your legs longer and they add that extra sparkle to your outfit. Whether you're going on a date, to a festival or going to a family brunch heels are a basic. You have them in so many different patterns and heights that it can be difficult to pick a pair. It's only been a year since I've started wearing heels. I've always been the type of girl who chooses comfort over cute and now that's starting to change a bit as I get older. My style has also changed from very classic and comfy to a bit more outgoing and not being afraid of adding that pop of color to an outfit. Heels can do just that and luckily FSJ is there to help you a few steps further. They have every type of heels, leopard print heels, hot heels and not to forget stiletto heels. My favorite pair has to be these cute coral red strappy tassles sandals. The color is bright and colorful just want your outfit needs during summer. They are called sandals but they can also bee seen as high heels. To stay in the coral tones for summer, this next pair of heels are very cute too. They are open toe stiletto heels in chole pink. I really like the thin straps and the t-strap makes your legs look longer too which is a big plus. 

SANDALS FOR SUMMER 

Time flies and before you know it you'll be heading of to the beach in your cute summer outfit. As summer is just around the corner sandals can't be forgotten. For the beach sandals are perfect to keep you cool. Lately I'm really into the scrappy sandals or the gladiator look kind of shoes that you can tie up. FSJ shoes has a lot of trendy sandals that you can wear not only to the beach, but also in combination with a pair of skinny jeans for a casual look. Even for a date night sandals are a must have and give you a summery look. The first pair that I really like are the black open toe strappy sandals. They are comfortable and easy to wear when you're on vacation and look cute with almost any summer outfit. The next pair remind me of Minnie Mouse and are so cute as well! They are black and white polka dot sandals and the big bow really stands out. With these sandals the rest of your outfit can be simple and classic. 

Thank you very much for reading today's post! I hope you have a little bit of inspiration now to find your perfect pair of shoes for summer!

Shopping catalogues are very popular right now. If you don't really know what catalogue shopping is, I'll tell you a little bit more about it. Catalogue shopping is that products from one retailer are grouped together and you can buy a lot of different products just from the comfort of your own home.

Catalogues247 is the perfect site to go for a big online shopping spree and find all the items you need. From fashion to electronics to homeware there is something for everyone.

Magnesium Olie: De oplossing tegen rusteloze benen, spierpijn en meer!

Hallo allemaal!

Wat gaat de tijd toch snel zeg! Ik kan bijna niet geloven dat het nu alweer mei is. Het is gelukkig vrijdag, en dat betekent weekend!! Ik hoop dat het zonnetje lekker gaat schijnen en het aanvoelt als echt warm lenteweer. Vandaag wil ik super graag een iets delen waar ik heel enthousiast over ben. Het gaat namelijk over magnesiumolie dat steeds bekender aan het worden is. Lees gauw verder wat de vele voordelen zijn en mijn persoonlijke ervaring! 

Elk mens heeft ongeveer 400 milligram aan magnesium nodig. Als je veel producten eet met veel suiker of koolzuurhoudende frisdranken drinkt dan heeft je lichaam extra magnesium nodig. Ook tijdens stressvolle periodes kan je lichaam meer behoefte hebben aan magnesium. Alleen met een perfect dieet kun je de ideale hoeveelheid uit je eten halen. Maar in de praktijk heeft je lichaam toch extra magnesium nodig, omdat maar heel weinig mensen een perfect dieet volgt. 

Hoe werkt het? 

Al heel lang haal ik bij de drogist de Tuinen magnesiumpilletjes die ik dan voordat ik ga slapen inneem, of vlak na het avondeten. Ik had er eigenlijk nooit bij stilgestaan dat er naast pilletjes ook andere oplossingen waren, zoals de magnesium spray. Iets waar ik vooral snel last van heb is rusteloze benen, vooral in stressvolle periodes wordt dat gevoel erger. Vaak slaap ik dan ook slechter en neem ik een magnsiumpilletje in, soms twee of drie dat ligt aan hoe erg het is. 

Wat zijn eigenlijk de voordelen van magnesiumolie? 

Er zijn heel veel voordelen die magnesiumolie hebben voor je lichaam. 

-De olie zorgt ervoor dat je spieren ontspannen. Dit vindt ik eigenlijk het allerbelangrijkste punt omdat dit mijn meest voorkomende klacht is en eigenlijk ook de reden is om magnesium te gebruiken. 

-Mensen met vermoeidheidsklachten hebben vaak last van een magnesiumtekort. Mangnesium is heel belangrijk voor je stofwisseling en Permsal olie kan je meer energie geven. 

-Ook kan het als een anti-stress middel gebruikt worden. Als je gestresst bent dan zijn kunnen je spieren gespannen zijn. Permsal is een volledig natuurlijk product en dit mineraal ontspant je lichaam. Juist wanneer je gestresst bent heeft je lichaam de dubbele hoeveelheid magnesium nodig. Er zijn ook andere soorten olies, zoals een sportolie en een olie voor in bad. 

Ik heb de magnesiumolie voor ongeveer twee weken uitgeprobeerd en ben super blij dat het werkt! De eerste paar dagen was het een beetje wennen want ik nam altijd magnesiumpilletjes en ik was bang dat het misschien niet even goed werkte. Maar eigenlijk werkt het nog beter. De eerste keer dat je de olie in aanraking komt met je uit kan het wat geïrriteerd aanvoelen, deze reactie is normaal en gaat snel weg. Na een paar keer spuiten voelde ik dat mijn rusteloze benen minder werden en ik sliep ook beter dan normaal. Ook na het sporten vind ik het fijn om de olie op mijn spieren te spuiten en versoepeld echt je spieren. 

Vergeet niet om ook een kijkje te nemen op Magnesiumonline, waar je heel veel soorten magnesium kunt vinden. Van scrubs tot kristallen tot gel er zit vast iets bij voor jou! Heel erg bedankt voor het lezen! 
Heb jij de magnesiumolie al uitgeprobeerd?

Liefs,
Isabella ❤

Movies You Should Watch For The Best Girls Night In

Hey everyone,

When I'm tired after a long and busy day, watching a movie is my favorite thing to do. It's a good way to forget everything around you for a minute and live in another world. My absolute all time favorite movie has to be Beauty and the Beast which released this year and got amazing reviews. Emma Watson plays Belle really well and it's almost like a musical with all the songs. Also la la land was really cool too! Read further for some fun movies you can watch to have the best girls night in!

Choosing a movie can be difficult because there are just endless options you can choose from. To help you a little bit there is a site called whichmovienext.com where you can find many movies divided by genre, year, storyline or even by actor. It's now very easy to pick a category and choose from the movies you selected. On whichmovienext there is a movie for everybody, from chick flicks, to horror movies you can watch with the entire family. I think most girls including me love watching romantic movies and you can find great ones on their site. Another really cool thing is that when you click on a movie from a certain category you will see similar movies that you may want to watch as well. In one click you get a lot of movies to add to your list! 

Movies For a Girls Night In

Safe Heaven - This movie was very fun to watch and I can really recommend it if you love romance but also a little bit of drama and scary moments. It's about a young woman named Katie who visits North Carolina and starts a relationship with Alex and with her neighbor Jo. 

Me Before You - I've heard so many good things about this movie. I did hear the soundtrack and it was really beautiful!  The story revolves about a girl from a small town who develops an unique bond with a paralyzed man which she also takes care of. A fun fact: Emilia Clarke plays the girl in this movie but she also got offered to play Anastasia Steel in Fifthy Shades of Grey but turned it down. 

The Ugly Truth - Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler played the roles very well. If you want some romance and want to laugh at the funny moments with your friends than this movies is perfect to watch. It all starts with a morning show producer who wants to prove his theories on relationships on a correspondent. This leads to something special between the two and is the start of many funny moments coming ahead. 

I hope you enjoyed reading today's post and want to start watching some movies now too! These are just a few examples of the many movies there are on the site. Head over to whichmovienext.com now for more fun movies to make your Girl's Night In complete!
