The first shooting days for Sneekweek have begun and some dangerous scenes were immediately filmed. Are you following along with Carolien's busy week?
Every morning I try to start my day as well as possible with a glass of lukewarm water with lemon, a hearty breakfast of coconut yogurt with granola, and a freshly squeezed juice. I just haven't found the perfect cup to take such a juice on-the-go yet. So if I have to leave the house at unholy times (6:15 AM!), like this morning, I quickly grab a cold pressed veggie juice from V-Bomb. My favorite is the one with beets. Tip: I keep the bottles in the freezer so the juices are as fresh as possible.
Today is the day: the very first shooting day for the film Sneekweek! When we heard that we had to sail on the first shooting day itself, a small wave of panic washed over me. So we quickly had some lessons in ’hanging on the trapeze’ in the past few days. Day 1 went excellently, also thanks to the lovely weather. But day 2 literally went down the drain when we faced one downpour after another. Everything for the film people, everything for the film.
Still a whole year to go, but I have already found my bridal hairstyle! During this photoshoot, the makeup artist tied my hair up and this was the result: the perfect mix between classy and playful. Now I have 376 days to learn this hairdo for the big day...
Summer hasn't even fully started yet and I'm already looking forward to all the winter collections. Believe me, I naturally prefer a nice sunny day over those cold, rainy days... But my fashion heart starts racing at the sight of all those luxurious fabrics like wool, leather, and silk. The Dutch brand First of August uses the finest alpaca wool for its coats. Its collections consist of beautiful, ‘clean’ designs that remind me of my favorite Scandinavian designs. This white suit is already reserved for a premiere next week: with a bit of luck, there will be a cold breeze and I can already wear that wool coat!
People, pay attention! This is the most dangerous new lunch spot in Amsterdam: Coffee & Coconuts. They have two pages full of fresh juices, healthy sandwiches, and homemade granolas. Sounds super responsible, right? Until you get to the dessert pages... We were too weak and succumbed to both the chocolate chip cookie, the lemon coconut cake, and the banana cake...
