For when you have no idea but are renovating a kitchen

Hallelujah, the hairdressers and beauty salons can open again. Of course, I had already cut my bangs not too long ago, successfully completed a home dye job, and shaved my lower legs last week because I was really growing a coat, but I immediately called for a pedicure because I don't dare to start that myself. Oh, finally I dare to look at my feet again. Perhaps delightfully superficial, but we certainly need that from time to time in these times.

‘The last bits weigh the heaviest’ unfortunately holds completely true… Otis starts crying every morning when we drop dad off at the construction site, Jon has chronic muscle pain, and I panic a few times a day from the calls about schedules that are not being met. But it’s starting to look more and more like a house. By the end of the week, everything will be plastered, the underfloor heating is in, and the painters have already started on the ceilings downstairs. It remains a race against the clock, but I can't wait to show you pictures of the result.

‘Start using good anti-aging cream in your thirties and you’ll look forty when you’re fifty!’ This is a slogan that I jump at. I received a beautiful test package from Medik8 and after four weeks my fine lines are less visible. A combination of two types of vitamin A hydrates and nourishes your skin intensively. And the nice thing is that the day cream contains a factor 30, so you are immediately protected from the sun in the morning. I will definitely keep applying it and I'm curious how old they will guess I am when I turn fifty, haha.

I have been a proud ambassador for Longines for two years now, and every season I drool at the sight of the new collection. My Dolce Vita remains a favorite and the fun part is that you can ‘upgrade’ it every season with new colors of leather straps. This white leather strap with crocodile print fits perfectly with this changeable weather: on winter days I immediately crave snow and hot chocolate, and on spring days I want to combine white and nude outfits with my strap. Now that they have a webshop, you definitely don’t have to wait until the stores open again.
