So grab a cup of your favorite beverage, cozy up, and get ready to dive deep into the wild and wonderful world of moi! Let’s get started, shall we? 🌟
10 Facts about me
1. I love Thrift shopping
When I was younger I went to the thrift store with my mother and I did not see the appeal of buying secondhand clothes at the thrift store. But that has changed in the last couple of years. There are several thrift stores where I live and I love visiting one of those stores. I usually don’t buy anything, but sometimes you can find the most incredible things. These days I love to go thrift shopping. Sometimes I find the most incredible fashion items for almost nothing and other times I find a book I really want to read. You have to be patient because you never know if you will find what you are looking for.
2. I love reading
My favorite way to end my day is by reading a book and it really doesn’t matter what kind of book. However, most of the time it is probably some romance novel because I love happy stories. But reading helps me to relax and unwind from my day. It makes me sleepy and I always fall asleep so fast. I love the feeling that a book can take you to a whole other world. I love to curl up on in a chair with a cup of tea and a good book. And I also write book reviews here on my blog
3. I love book shopping
Yes, I have mentioned that I love reading, but shopping for books is just a different experience. There is something exciting about finding new books you really want to buy and eventually read. I remember that we used to have a book event (here in the Netherlands) and it was huge! At this book event, you could buy books with lots of discounts. And it was amazing. I spent so many hours at this place and I would go home with so many books. Unfortunately, they now only sell these books online, because this event was just a fun experience. These days I can also spend a lot of time on social media and find new books I want to read.
4. I love Italian food
I always say that I was born in the wrong country because I love the Italian language, food, music, and lifestyle. Fun fact: I’ve never been to Italy, but I guess I have to change that very soon. For now, I am just enjoying their food and culture from a distance. The food is probably a lot better in Italy, but I guess I will figure that out when I actually go. But honestly, I think can eat Italian food every single day without getting tired of it.
5. I love plants/flowers
I can’t get enough of plants or flowers. Every time, I get plants or flowers for my birthday, I get so happy. Just receiving that as a gift already makes me the luckiest person in this world. They make your apartment more homey and cozier. And it is fun to watch them grow. Sometimes I get plant that are almost dead and I always bring them back to life. And in case you are wondering, my favorite flower is the Gebera Daisy. They are so pretty and they come in so many colors.
6. I love Pinterest
I think I could spend hours on Pinterest just for fun. And I always look for interior inspiration, but also outfit inspiration or Instagram photo inspiration. And when I am really hungry I look up for delicious recipes. It is so easy to make your own boards and organize everything. You can also upload your own photos and links to promote your website or product. But for me, I use it as a moldboard of the things I like and want to manifest.
7. I love Writing
When I write, I get into this flow and I feel really good. Right now, I am writing this blog post, and at the same time I am listening to a great playlist on Spotify and I am really in a good mood. Sure, I have days when I do not have any inspiration but as soon as I start writing random things the words start to flow. Right now, I just write blog posts here on my blog and an occasional caption on Instagram. But in the future, I definitely want to write other things like books.
8. I like listening to music all day long
Maybe this is because my mother used to listen to the radio all the time and I am so used to listening to music all day long, but it puts me in a really good mood. I listen to music when I am writing, or when I am just cleaning. Although, I have to say I can’t listen to music and read books at the same time. But the right kind of music can put me in a good mood immediately and somehow give me a lot of confidence too.
9. I still have a Samsung s8
Even though I am thinking about buying a new smartphone, I still have this older Samsung phone. It still works really well. I just googled that Samsung s8 came out in 2017. I thought it was a lot older because they have been launching a lot of new phones since then. When I get a new phone, I will probably still go for the Samsung phone. It never lets me down and I am pretty clumsy but the screen still has no scratches.
10. I want to travel to New York
For some reason, New York seems fascinating to me and in the last couple of years, I got the idea to travel to New York and that feeling is getting stronger. Maybe I just watch too many movies that take place in New York and maybe I will be disappointed when I am actually there, who knows? I also think it is because I grew up in a small town and the most exciting thing that happened there was the fair that came to town for 4/5 days. And I think you can never get bored in New York because there is always something you can do.
