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 the best chick flicks of all time you can watch to have the best girls night in!

Best chick flicks of all time


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. 
Must watch chick flicks

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. 

Girls movie list

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. Definitely a movie to put on your girls movie list!

Musthave Alert: Samsung Galaxy S8

Hoi allemaal!

Het is gelukkig weer iets warmer dan vorige week. De lente is echt mijn favoriete seizoen, overal mooie bloemen, de zon schijnt vaker en dat is meteen een goed excuus om je kledingkast aan te vullen met nieuwe items. Naast shoppen voor leuke kleding zijn leuke gadgets en elektronica natuurlijk altijd welkom. Van polaroid camera's tot iPads eigenlijk kan je het zo gek niet bedenken tegenwoordig. Maar ik moet toch zeggen dat een merk mijn nummer een is, Samsung. Samsung heeft altijd mooie designs en een goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding. In maart werd de nieuwe Samsung Galaxy S8 uitgebracht en staat nu bovenaan op mijn verlanglijstje. Lees gauw verder waarom jij ook de Galaxy S8 moet kopen!


Het mobiel wat ik nu heb is een Samsung Galaxy s6 edge plus gold en daar ben ik heel blij mee. Het besturingssysteem vind ik fijner dan Apple en het maakt mooie foto's en video's. Natuurlijk is elk mobiel weer mooier en sneller dat nieuw op de markt gebracht wordt. De Samsung telefoon is los voor 799 euro te koop en is ook verkrijgbaar in S8+. De kleuren waar je uit kunt kiezen zijn Midnight Black, Orchid Grey en Arctic Silver. Zelf vind ik de Orchid Grey super mooi! Vanaf 28 april ligt het toestel in de winkels en online. Bij T-Mobile kun je een abonnement nemen voor 5 GB data en onbeperkt bellen in Nederland en Europa. 

COOLE  FEATURES VAN DE SAMSUNG GALAXY S8


HET SCHERM
Het scherm van de Galaxy S8 is groter en alleen aan de bovenkant zit de camera met sensoren. Het Infinity Display van 5,8 inch zorgt ervoor dat er geen zwarte balken meer onder en boven zijn wat erg fijn is. Hierdoor zit de vingerafdrukscanner niet meer aan de voorkant maar aan de achterkant en is de home knop verdwenen. De hele voorkant is scherm en dit design maakt het toestel uniek en mooi. Geen enkel mobiel heeft een scherm dat zo groot is en comfortabel in je hand is. De telefoon heeft een Super AMOLED display scherm waardoor de kleuren nog feller zijn en je video's nu nog scherper kunt kijken. 








SUPER SNEL
De nieuwe Samsung is naast de mooie kleuren en contrasten ook nog eens super snel. Dit vind ik toch wel heel belangrijk bij het uitkiezen van een smartphone. Ik heb wel eens een mobiel gehad die vanaf het begin af aan al best traag werkte en daar ga je je toch een beetje aan ergeren. Maar dat is verleden tijd met de S8 natuurlijk die geleverd wordt met de nieuwste processor en veel werkgeheugen. 

MULTITASKEN
Tegenwoordig wil iedereen zo veel mogelijk dingen doen in een korte tijd. Het nieuwe design helpt hier een handje bij. Er kunnen veel vensters tegelijk geopend worden en je kunt zelfs de grote van het venster aanpassen. Zo kun whatsappen en naar je favoriete serie kijken, op internet surfen en je boodschappenlijst maken. Meer doen en minder scrollen!



Met de nieuwe Samsung S8 zul je je nooit vervelen. Met de dual pixel camera die nu ook een autofocus heeft en een gezichtsherkenning, maak je snel super scherpe selfies. Verder heeft de smartphone zelfs een irisscanner, een bixby spraakassist voor jou vragen en reminders en is het toestel water-en stof bestendig. 

Heel erg bedankt voor het lezen! Ik hoop dat je het leuk vond en nu ook zin hebt om te gaan shoppen!
Wat vind jij van de Samsung Galaxy S8?
Liefs,
Isabella𝨂❤

Zara Shopping Haul Spring/Summer 2017

Hey everyone,

I hope everyone has had a great Easter! I've had a lovely family brunch with and went on an easter egg hunt with my two little nieces. I can't believe how cold it suddenly got here in Holland, I might have to grab my winter coat from upstairs again. Shopping is one the things that I think most girls love to do, I'm definitely one of them. This summer I'm going on vacation to Sardinia in Italy and I had absolutely no summer clothes. It was the perfect excuse to go on a shopping spree in Haarlem. Let's get right to it now!

Zara Shopping Haul Spring/Summer 2017
Zara is my favorite clothing brand at the moment. They always have a good variety of different styles and items every week. Bright pink is very popular this summer, and I really love pink so I picked this dress. It's a friend poplin dress with short sleeves. There's nothing that I don't like about it and it would be perfect to wear for a night out but also to the beach with a pair of sandals. €17,95

The next item that I got is actually my favorite. It really feels like you're wearing a pyjama but looks very cool. It's a ribbed jumpsuit in light grey marl and it's just above your ankles. On some days you maybe not feel like wearing a dress, a jumpsuit is in between and it still looks like you but effort in your look. It would look nice with a statement necklace or a bright colored tote or purse. €17,95

I love this dress so much! I've never really had a maxi dress before and this one is great for the hot and sunny days on vacation. It's a striped dress in burgundy and cream white. To make the look complete I'm going to look for a pair of platform sandals or sneakers and a bright red lip. €19,95

Flowers details are also very trendy this season. You see it everywhere, on shirts, jeans, bags and on dresses. This trend really suits Spring and makes you happy. This is a baby blue stripes dress with a v-neck and with very cute flowers on top. The dress feels very light and is also a must have for hot days. Because of all the different colored flowers it's easy to combine it with any color you want. Maybe pink necklace, or a bright yellow bracelet you can style it how you want. €29,95

I love that the colors aren't too bright and the beading on the front looks almost like a necklace which is really cool! The next bikini is also from the same brand and is the Venus Queen color block bikini in fuchsia. Since last year color block bikini are very popular. They look fun and cheerful and I have to admit that I'm starting to like them very much too now. The last but not least is the Venus Queen one piece vintage swimsuit in red stripes and with a bow.

Uncover Skincare by Jetske Ultee

Hey everyone,

Taking care of your skin is very important. Especially now that it's Spring the sun is out even brighter and you have to protect your skin. Thanks to my mom who is really a beauty guru I started trying out different kinds of skincare products. Some were brands from the local pharmacy, others were products that only consisted of natural ingredients. I have to say that the products with no harmful ingredients are the ones I love the most. 
Dr Ultee


So I started searching Google and I stumbled across this beauty brand from a Dutch dermatologist called Jetske Ultee. She has designed Uncover Skincare, skincare products that are only made from real ingredients that matter. She does research on what ingredients are actually necessary in a product. Ultee concluded that many expensive skincare products have ingredients in them that don't do anything for your skin. Creams that are more expensive don't necessarily have to be better. I was kind of surprised after reading this on her blog! There is are no miracle products to make your skin instantly better. 

Uncover Skincare by Jetske Ultee

Uncover Skincare has a 5 - step plan. The first step is cleaning your skin with the cleanser. The next thing you can do is to calm down your skin by using a toner. After using the toner, the exfoliant removes all the dead skincells and oil that are still left. Now that you're almost done you can moisturize your skin with the moisturizer and last but definitely not least apply a sunscreen before you go out to prevent your skin from aging. It's better to follow all these steps in the right order for a good result, but it's not really a problem if you only use the cleanser or the exfoliant. In my experience it still improves your skin. The products are available for any skincare type. Right now I have quite a lot of small breakouts on my forehead and around my mouth. I think it's because of hormones and my skin is also very oily on the t-zone. 

Products
Uncover Cleanser, normal to oily skin. You can use the cleanser one to twice a day. If your skin is really sensitive than it's better to only use it in the evening. In the mornings washing your head with lukewarm water. Cleaning your skin removes the besides the dirt the oil from your face. Oil causes breakouts so don't forget to clean! 
Ingredients
Aqua, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Glycerin, Sodium Lauryl Glucose Carboxylate, Lauryl Glucoside, Sodium Laureth-11 Carboxylate, PEG-150 Distearate, Laureth-7 Citrate, Sodium Chloride, Laureth-10, Methyl Gluceth-20, PEG-4 Rapeseedamide, PEG-200 Hydrogenated Glyceryl Palmate, Ethylhexylglycerin, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Caprylyl Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Tetrasodium EDTA.

Uncover Exfoliant, normal to oily skin. When your skin is used to the products you can use this exfoliant, it's like a peeling and makes your face really smooth. It's advised to only use it once or twice a week.  
Ingredients
Aqua, Glycerin, Pentylene Glycol, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Citric Acid, Salicylic Acid, Methyl Gluceth-20, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Evodia Rutaecarpa Fruit Extract, Allantoin, Sodium Hydroxide, Ethylhexylglycerin, Butylene Glycol, Disodium EDTA.

The last product that I got is the Uncover SPF 30. The cream is for both your body and face and is 250 ml. For the best coverage Jetske Ultee advices to apply every two hours. She also added niacin amide(vitamin b), this ingredient helps to protect your skin from the sun extra well. 
Ingredients
Aqua, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Dibutyl Adipate, Diisopropyl Sebacate, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Methylpropanediol, Ethylhexyl Triazone, Cetearyl Alcohol, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid, Niacinamide, Caprylyl Glycol, Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate, Lauryl Glucoside, Pentaerythrityl Distearate, Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate, Xanthan Gum, Glycerin, Sodium Hydroxide, Phenylpropanol, Tetrasodium Glutamate Diacetate, Citric Acid.

Opinion
I'm very happy that I discovered this brand because taking care of your skin is very important. From a young age my mom has always given me tips and advice from what's she has been told. I'm really grateful for that because now I can share this with you! Before I used Vichy to clean my face, but that made my skin really dry afterwards even if I applied a moisturizer. With the cleanser from Uncover Skincare my skin is not dry and feels really clean and soft. It's because she carefully picks the ingredients that work for your skin. Also the exfoliant and sun cream are really good. Choosing the perfect sunscreen for your face can be a challenge. Some are sticky and others are very thick. With this sun screen it doesn't feel like your wear it at all. It almost feels like a moisturizer and that's really a plus point! Jetske Ultee also has a beauty blog which you can visit to get more tips about what products she advices. 

Thank you very much for reading today's post! I hope you enjoyed getting to know this new brand!
