It was a wild week for Nicky. On Sunday she was in bed at half past one after a weekend in London and at half past eight she was expected back at school. London From school she took the train to Amsterdam for a casting and a new hair color (yes!) and tonight she’s off to the capital again after school. “I’ve fallen so in love with that city, I want to go there all the time.”

 Just a bit about that weekend with Yfke. I want to know everything about it, of course.

“It was so cozy, Yfke really feels like a friend. She showed me her closet and told me what I should wear to a casting. We also cooked together and she gave me tips on how to eat best because it’s not very easy to get the desired sizes.”

 What was the best tip?

“That you should eat 10% less every day. You have to train yourself in that. You can manage with less food. And if you really like something, you can take a bite. But just a bite, nothing more. It’s also wise to have a healthy energy bar with you so you always have a responsible snack when you get hungry.”

 And further, and further, and further?

“Yfke is so nice and she lives so beautifully. She has a glass elevator in her house and a swimming pool in the basement. They all laughed at me for using the elevator for everything but hey, we don’t have that at home. In the evening we sang in a karaoke bar and on Sunday we did a shoot and Yfke could advise and train me but luckily she thought I was already doing quite well.”

 When does this weekend start for you?

“I’m still at school now but later I’ll take the train to Amsterdam, Daan. He guided us all during the recordings of Holland’s Next Topmodel and has really become a good friend. We’re going to have dinner together. Will I drink something alcoholic then? No, really not. I want to do this so well and I feel so much better. So it will be a glass of water, a cup of green tea, and a nice salad.”

 So on Saturday you won’t be hungover in your bed?

“Definitely not. I’m going to train with Dennis, the personal trainer from Touché Models. We’re going to walk through the Amsterdamse Bos, stretch, plank. We usually plank 3 times for two minutes. Very tough indeed but I won’t let that show. After that we’re going grocery shopping and cooking so I also learn how to prepare healthy things for myself.”

 Do you train only on the weekend?

“I do stretch exercises every day and I also do that planking. After dinner I always walk for an hour. The dog is so happy, he’s never been walked this much, haha.” en dat planken doe ik dan ook. Na het eten wandel ik altijd een uur. De hond is dolblij, die is nog nooit zoveel uitgelaten, haha.”

 How do you keep your mind a bit calm?

“By planning well and writing everything down. And my mother has now become my manager so she takes care of the finances, which is really nice because then I don’t have to worry about that.”

 With all that traveling you obviously have all the time to read.

“Yes, I enjoy that in the train. I really often check Vogue, Marie Claire, and the amayzine app. In the meantime, I listen to DJ Dyna and Top 40 music.”

 Just a moment, do you have a rest day on Sunday?

“No, haha. I’m going to a youth event in The Hague. There I will give catwalk lessons and people can take pictures with me. I don’t know exactly what the day will bring but I find it all incredibly fun.”

And then we have some news…

“I’m going to keep a blog for you. Nicky’s Life. Starting next weekend every Saturday on amayzine.com.”
