Once in a blue moon

Well could I break my intention to blog more regularly any faster hahah :) Shame on me! But since it's that time of the year again soon: and by that time I mean EXAMS ARE COMING UP at my university I plan to blog in my studybreaks instead of spending hours on instagram reading comments on subjects like did Chiara Ferragni and her gorgeous boyfriend break up I did not just say that I'm worried about that. So therefore, the title of this post applies to my blogging this year and I thought it was quite appropriate.

Enjoy these pictures; they're all about the blue clothes how original of me

These Balenciaga's are on my wishlisht since a long time! But I wear out shoes so fast that I think it's a waste of money to buy ballerinas this expensive, if I pay a lot for shoes I prefer it to be heels (that I can't wear so often and thus I can wear them longer thus they are more worth the money - of course this does not apply for my Chanel ballerinas, I would buy them again in an instant but then again they are so pretty I don't take them out for a walk that often). 

ps can you believe she had a kid? On the first row with the good-looking gene I imagine... 

Can I please have her outfit? And her legs....

Summer here we come!

Soooooo they say that this weekend is going to be like summer here in Europe. I CAN'T WAIT to put on my new bikini and work on my tan for the first time this year (September was the last time the world could admire me with some naked skin, it has been cold like I was living in Greenland - and that's so not the case.
Let me tell you a bit of my plans to make this a fit and healthy start of summer:

1. I have a confession to make. I became one of those fitness obsessed people who are afraid of too many carbs and sugar. Maybe I was too busy obsessing over my eating patterns instead of putting my energy in this blog? LOL it's not that bad (yet). I always have been a really sports-loved person, I mean I run 3 times a week, love to swim, play tennis, golf, sail, ski, dance and spend my days in summer sailing (which is quite laborious actually) but I never looked into getting much muscles or having a body that's completely well-trained. But I  suffered from heavy lower back pain since August (I'm only 22) and my dad (who - to my luck - is a radiologist) decided to look into it. It appeared that I have arthrosis in my back, which is quite unusual for someone my age (normally it starts when you're in menopause, and if you're lucky you will never get it). There is really not much you can do about it (and I don't feel like having surgery or some drastic measures) - the only thing you can do to make the pain more bearable is making sure you have a really good core, train your muscles and make sure you're not overweight. I was not at all overweight and I already had muscles since I sport so often, but I really became interested with my body and how to take good care of it. It's not fun when you can't stand on your feet in the evening after a whole day of walking around because your back kills you - and I am really opposed to much medication.
So this is how it happened, and I started to eat really healthy and leave sugar for what it is (of course I crack sometimes and eat a whole bag of candy/chips/other great things there are on this planet) but the important thing is I'm working at it. And after a while I felt so much fitter with less sugar - not that it helps for my back but hey it's great feeling healthy! So to make a long story short (I'm sure I will write some more posts about this) I am determined to make it my most healthy/fit summer ever. That I'm losing some weight is a nice bonus of course.

2. My tan. I am blonde, with blue eyes, so you can already guess what kind of skin I have. I become really tanned (I'm lucky for being blonde) but the steps to getting tanned often involve getting really burned at first (in May and June). I never was really concerned about that, but I now have this crazy fear of skin cancer so I'm determined to not let that happen again. The problem is I like myself so much more being tanned I always say "whatever, get red one time and then you will get tanned so much faster" BUT NOT THIS YEAR!!!! I always use sunscreen when on holiday, but never when I'm tanning in my garden. So this year I will start with a SPF30 and see where it takes me - I'm kind of hoping that I will get some tan by the end of September with this hahaha :)

 I never went to a sunbed, I think it's so groce and so bad for you. I went one time but I was so disgusted by the smell I ran away as fast as I could. However quasi all of my friends go to the solarium and they are all ridiculously tanned while I look like the Abominable Snowman - and that doesn't bother me in wintertime, I just don't put on revealing clothes and bronze my face with make-up. I know this sounds really superficial but I hate it on pictures: my arms are always a completely other colour than my face, and I look so pale next to my girlfriends.

So what I'm going to do next is to look for a really great selftanner - do you have some suggestions? I already tried the ones by Sisley, Louis Widmer and Biotherm but I find them all really smelly and I don't really like them. Help!

3. My summer garderobe. I have already shopped a ridicilously amount of clothes for this new season but I have a slight shopping problem - the kind of problem where you always buy twice what you already have twice in your closet and thus you have to buy more stuff that is different and something new. I went already out of my comfort zone by buying multiple printed shirts (I am more of the plain navy blue and white ones - I am quite classique in my style) and I'm really on the lookout for a cute printed skirt and some bejeweled sandals and... (will do a post about this later - I say NETAPORTER haha). I am so eager to dust off (well, that's in a figurative way of speaking of course) my summer clothes and make some fun and new combinations!!

So here are some of my 'problems' for summer, this post is already ridiculously long and I don't want to bore you so I'm sure there will be a continuation!!
Let's get ready for a fit and fabulous summer! Are you in?

ps ok I had this fear I might have a huge writers block after all those months but no problem so far!!! :D hahha

                                                     

Where to start?

I really want to pick up the blogging on a regular basis again, but I have to admit it's quite hard to get back in the routine again (I tried several times). I can already tell this posts is going to be full of nothing with some really good pictures in the end :)

But let me tell you how my break went.

I didn't have the intention to stop my blog, on the contrary I was fully enjoying it. But then you don't make a post for 2 weeks, and 2 weeks becomes a month and before you know it you have forgotten about your blog - and when you think about it you say "I should start writing again", but then you try and you stare at your screen and nothing interesting comes out (not that this is interesting now, but hey at least I'm writing). I looked at some old posts a few times but I didn't feel like starting to write again, how crazy that may sound for a girl who doesn't love anything more than to make other people laughing/amuse them by writing.

Anyway, I really want to give it another try. My life is really busy with university, a boyfriend and a lot of social activities but I really do love blogging!!! And I'm determined to give it a shot!
Hope you come back to reading my blog again, and of course you should have missed my fantastic posts :) 

Have you ever taken a break from blogging? And for how long?

ps summer is FINALLY coming this weekend (or so the weather dude tells me on the radio) so you can expect some beach related posts - as for you who follow me for some time will know: my favourite kind of posts!!

I'm back baby

Took a little break from blogging because BELIEVE IT OR NOT but I had no time to blog in the past half year. And I know this may sound crazy to you but it's just the simple truth. I didn't want to just publish some pictures every other day without much text, because the main thing I love about blogging is writing something - the pictures are just put there to make you happy, I mean who is reading all the ramblings I'm writing LOL.
Soooooo.......
Let's have another go at some Life Is Royalty times! Glad to be back :) :)
