NewXshop pink dress

Hey everyone,

I hope you're having a great week so far. It seems like I find blogging more and more fun. That's a good thing because a a few months ago I really didn't have motivation or inspiration at all to blog. Everybody has their own ups and downs. Now that I have inspiration enough I want to share a fashion item that I'm very excited about! If you want to know what it is read further now! Enjoy!

NewXshop is an online marketplace where people from all over the world can connect with each other. Both on and offline to sell and buy unique products. NewXshop aims to offer their costumers a variety of the latest trendy and fashionable clothing, jewelry, accessories and more. They provide you daily with the latest runway fashion from the height streets of London, to Paris, Tokyo and New York at an affordable price. 

For this season I wanted to choose a fashion item that was a little bit more out of my comfort zone. I usually don't wear a lot of dresses, but now I wanted to choose a cute dress and actually start wearing it. I choose a pink long sleeve a line dress. It looks very cute and is easy to combine with a pair of cute flats, a necklace and a lipstick. This pink dress adds a little bit of color into my closet, which it really needed. Fall clothes do not have to be all dark colors, pink can be also a happy and bright fall color. The dress has cute little buttons on the left shoulder and a shoulder strap on de right side which makes the dress even better. You can also add a bow to it to adjust the dress to your figure. 

Overall I'm very happy with my new dress. Pink is one of my favorite colors and this dress is definitely a must have for every girly girl.

Rosegal crochet mermaid blanket

Hey everyone,

I hope you've had a great week so far! It's has been quite a busy week for me but now that's it's weekend it's time to start blogging again. Today I would love to share my Rosegal purchase and stay tuned for the next few items next week!

Rosegal is an online fashion store, started by a group of friends who all shared the same passion for fashion. They see the vintage style as unique and a way to create endless possibilities, it's a timeless fashion statement. Also the transformative modern style with a touch of urban energy can be found as well. By offering these two different sorts of styles, they aim to capture the hearts of their costumers. Their goal is simple: to share their love of the best fashion with each of you. On Rosegal you can find trendy and affordable clothes from vintage to modern styles. 

I'm very excited to finally share an item I've wanted to have for so long. I came home and couldn't wait to open my Rosegal package. From the few items I received, the first one that I'll share today is a crochet multicolored mermaid blanket. I've seen it so many times on tumblr and Instagram of people sharing their pictures with their cute and cozy blankets. That made me put a mermaid blanket on top of my wishlist. On Rosegal they had many different sizes and different textures and knits. I decided to choose a colorful blanket in pink with red and all sorts of colors combined. It's perfect as it's fall now and it's getting colder and darker and you can just snuggle up in your mermaid blanket. Not to forget it also looks very cute! It's warm, comfortable and easy to take with you. 

Thank you so much for reading today's post! I hope you enjoyed it. Make sure to follow me on Facebook, Instagram and don't forget to like this post.

Reasons to love fall

Hey everyone,

It officially my favorite season of the year, fall! The time to make your wardrobe fall proof and to get ready for chilly nights, bonfires and not to forget Halloween. For some cool autumn blog post ideas ideas you can check my recent post here. Every season is unique in it's own way. If you want to know a few reasons to love fall you're in the right place!

Chilly nights and shorter days

During fall the days get shorter and nights get colder. This is the perfect time to buy that cozy blanket and turn on your Netflix and binge watch some of your favorite tv shows during the weekend. 

Making your room fall-ready

Fall is just another good excuse to buy some cute fall accessories for in your dorm room. From cute fairy lights, to to cute pillows or candles. Anything will make your room cozier and will be fall proof.

Halloween

While I'm not a very big fan of Halloween it's still very fun to decorate your house for Halloween. October is the month of the pumpkin season. While you can decorate your house with them, there are so many more things you can do with pumpkins, like making a pumpkin soup or do funny activities with friends like carving pumpkins. They are eatable and cute!

Nature

We often get so caught up in our busy world that we forget how beautiful nature is. During fall the trees and flowers just have so many beautiful dark colors. When I was younger I would always go with my family for a long walk in the woods and collecting all sorts of colorful leaves. 

Sweater weather

As the weather gets colder, warm sweaters are definitely are must have for your wardrobe. Sweaters are just very comfortable and yet another 

reason to go on a shopping spree to the mall. The transition from summer to fall clothes is fun because it's a start of a new season with new fashion trends and styles to try out.

Thank you so much for reading today's post about the reasons to love fall. (All pictures from WEHEARTIT)

What is your favorite season of the year?

Guest post: Nutritious Matcha Oatmeal recipe

Hey everyone,

Today I have a guest post from Callum Mandine. He's the founder of Matcha Ocha He's from Australia and is passionate about yoga and healthy living. Currently living abroad after adopting the digital nomad lifestyle, you can find him anywhere where's it's warm and where you can surf. I hope you enjoy the recipe! 

Nutritious Matcha Oatmeal

A warm bowl of oatmeal (porridge) is one of the best ways to start your day with a filling breakfast. Oatmeal is wonderful when the weather is cold, but it is just as satisfying on warm days when topped with frozen fruit.

This simple recipe is a favourite among the health conscious. It contains Organic Green Tea Matcha Powder. Regular oatmeal is transformed into super oatmeal. Topping it with fresh, frozen, or dried fruit; seeds; or nuts makes it even more nutritious.

Oats are high in fibre and quite filling. The hunger pangs and the feelings of starvation take a longer time to occur. It is highly recommended to cook oatmeal on the stove rather than in the microwave. Cooking time is only four minutes. It can be prepared without feeling rushed.

Matcha Oatmeal recipe

Adding a pinch of salt to the oatmeal brings out the flavor. When making breakfast for others than yourself, and unsure about their sweetness preference, do not add a sweetener when cooking. Serve it in an unsweetened fashion. The sweetness of oatmeal can easily be controlled by adding honey or syrups like maple or date syrup. Dried dates are an excellent sweetener to add to oatmeal.

Organic Green Tea Matcha Powder is made only from the highest colour quality tea, which is a brilliant green. It has a smooth taste that is slightly bitter. Quality organic green tea is ideal for daily consumption. Those who are not tea drinking individuals or who wish some added benefits can use the green tea powder in breakfast and snack recipes. The oils in the tea are the source of its delicious aroma and flavor. Polyphenols, phytonutrients, and enzymes contained in the tea each have different health attributes.

Matcha powder has anti-aging power from which both women and men can reap the benefits. It aids in the prevention of heart diseases and cancer. Matcha powder naturally boosts the system and is great when feeling tired. Using it in oatmeal packs the breakfast with fibre, antioxidants, and vitamins.

Ingredients (4 servings):

-       1 tsp Matcha Green Tea Powder

-       1 1/2 cup oatmeal

-       1 cup rice milk (or any other plant-based milk)

-       pinch of pink himalayan salt

Topping ideas:

-       walnuts, cashews, peanuts

-       chia seeds, flax seeds

-       dried cranberries, sultanas, dried dates

-       coconut flakes

-       fresh fruit, frozen fruit

-       maple syrup, date syrup, honey

Instructions:

1.     Place milk, oats, Organic Green Tea Matcha Powder and salt into a saucepan and let it simmer, but stir the whole time. In few minutes it will get thicker, that’s when it goes off the heat. Serve plain and let family/friends/kids to top their own plate. It’s fun! Enjoy!

Shopping Haul series #4: Zaful bracelet

Hey everyone,

In today's post I would love to share my new Zaful bracelet. If you haven't seen my previous post about my Zaful blouse than you can still read it here. For every girl jewelry is very important. With jewelry you can express you personality and take your outfit from cute to unique. The brand where my bracelet is from is as you can read by the title Zaful. It's a online webshop with unique clothes for women that like items that are trendy and affordable. The brand has besides clothes many jewelry pieces to choose from and I picked this bracelet. 

I wanted to choose something with a meaning behind it because I didn't have a jewelry piece with a quote in my collection. I love that it's blue and with the white braided leather strap it looks very cute. The word believe for me stands for always believing in yourself and in your dreams, because only then you'll be successful in life. It's perfect for daily wear and it's easy to combine with other pieces too. It also has a leaf and an infinity sign on the bracelet, so it really has a lot of meanings. 

Thank you so much for reading! What do you think of this bracelet?

Shopping haul series #3: Zaful blouse

Hey everyone,

Zaful is an online store that sells fashion for all women who like trendy and affordable fashion. All the designs are match the latest trends of the season and are fashionable and unique at once. In my previous post I showed you my Zaful minimal necklace and in today's post I would love to share you my Zaful blouse. Let's get right to it! 

Everybody has their own personal style. Your style is a way of showing people without speaking who you are. How you dress often matches with your personality and also the colors you wear. Sometimes on a rainy and cold day I feel like wearing dark colors. ;) In the last few months I've noticed that my style is changing a little bit. As you are older styles change and you don't like that sweater anymore you like a few years ago. And change is good, because if you always stayed the same it would be boring. I would describe my style as classic and preppy but lately I started to also like clothes that are more outgoing. 

I choose this Zaful blue blouse which looks very cute! I love the sleeves and the little ruffles at the bottom of them. I already wore this top many times because it's very easy to wear and blue is also a color that can be easily combined and looks great on a pair of denim jeans. It's perfect for fall and as the morning get chillier I love to combine it with a denim jacket. 

I hope you enjoyed reading my post! What do you think of my blouse? 

Have a lovely day,

Shopping haul series #2: Zaful minimal necklace

Hey everyone,

It's finally weekend again! It has been a beauty but rewarding week. Today was the day I got my first official paycheck since my first summer job. Actually seeing you get paid to being there for the older people when they need you the most is really nice. My previous post was about my Zaful palm tree bikini and now I'm continuing my shopping haul series with a post about my Zaful minimal necklace.  Grab a cup of tea and let's get started! 

If you didn't already know Zaful is a line store that sells affordable and trendy fashion for women. They have everything, from bikinis to dresses and all the designed are influenced by the newest trends. As to almost every girl jewelry is very important and some pieces can have a really big meaning. My mother gave me a ring that my grandmother also wore it's really special to actually wear it almost three generations later. Jewelry can also be a great accessory for your outfit and take it to the next level. For me, minimal necklaces are my favorite jewelry items. They are classic, minimalistic and easy to wear on a daily basis. Jewelry does not always have to be big and bold but can also be small and still make a statement. 

The Zaful necklace I choose is a layered one with a small triangle, blue tiny pearls and a rectangle bar on the bottom. This necklace is a great addition to my jewelry collection. It's really cute because it's easy to wear and looks great in combination with a leather jacket and a pair of skinny jeans. I also love the necklace is gold and because it's layered it's looks  effortless.

Thank you so much for reading today's post! Do you like minimal necklaces? 

Have a lovely day,
