Update + moving! + shout out Brussels!

Hello my dears.

Quick little update.

The reason why I've been kinda absent on my blog is because atm I am so busy!

I am busy moving to Brussels (Yes I've found an appartment,pictures soon!) and going to French class everyday.

Right now I'm still living in Antwerp and take the train everyday back and forth to Brussels.The reason why is because eventhough when I came back from Paris my appartment was ready...it didn't work out and the owner of the building wanted to sell the newly renovated builing.

After a few weeks of freaking out,searching for new appartments the owner of the first appartment I wanted told me that he wasn't selling the building and that I could rent the appartment.

So atm  I'm getting everything ready like water,gass,electricity,internet,furniture,ect... since this is a real appartment and not a student house.I've signed a contract for 3 years.

Does this mean I'll be living in Brussels for 3 years? NO.

After my french classes (I passed my first level friday YAY,only 10000 more to go urgh) I'm leaving for another country to work with a company and learn the language for a year or maybe longer.After that I'm going to Turkey for a few months to polish my turkish.It's just nice to have a home when I come back and I can go search for a new appartment or maybe a place to buy.Cause the appartment I have now is in the middle of Brussels and in one of the biggest and busiest streets...and I don't like cities that much.

Normally I will be living  in my appartment 24/7 end of this month or the start of next month.

Am I excited? I don't really know.

Living alone doesn't scare me at all since I've been doing everything myself for the past 21 years.Deciding my own things and solving my own problems.

I've been alone A LOT at home too since my mom goes to Turkey every year.

And I don't mean a short vacation,she stays there longer than 2 months sometimes,just hanging out.

I live being alone in my house.

I'm not really that excited cause I've never really liked Brussels.I've never felt safe in that city and never thought it was pretty.But honestly I don't even know Brussels.I have no idea where the shopping streets are,where the main streets are,what there is to do in Brussels/what to see.

I did however have thesame thing with Paris but Paris was so much fun cause my class became great friends and we did everything together and helped eachother out.

With this school however I have a new class every 3 weeks and my first class...well...we're not that great of friends.Everybody just minds their own business and we just don't socialize.I tried to but..Nowp,it's just not working out at all. FYI I'm a really social person and I love a good convo.

So this is a shout out to everyone who lives in Brussels or nearby (or just know the city pretty well) and want to help me get to know the city! I don't know if there are people from Brussels reading my blog but I've got nothing to lose right?

btw,I tried the Kardashian hair! Felt kinda weird so I'm back at sidebangs now.
(For enyone who plays minecraft...you'll recognize the tool I'm holding =D )

Urban Forest look 'Boho chique'

Hello my darlings!

I'm back in Antwerp yay! But not for long cause I'm moving to Brussels really soon.Gonna go see my appartment tomorrow and also do a test at my new school to see what kind of level I have when it comes to French.

While I've been doing absolutely nothing this weekend and having a huge cultureshock moving back from Paris to Antwerp.It's like everything is moving in slowmotion and just not moving forward.Thankgod I'll be back in a fastfast routine in April again.Cause honestly I'm bored to death right now.

I thought of doing an 'urban forest' kind of look.I have no idea how to call this look.

But I was inspired by the 'Boho chique' look parisiens have in Paris wich they call Boho themselves.

All the coloours I used are from Urban decay book of shadows (the first one) and I put some fake eyelashes on the bottom.

I know the last 2 pictures look VERY photoshopped when it comes to colours but this is the only way I was able to show you guys the RIGHT green colours so i know my skin looks ill in those pictures.

Paris Paris! Packing too early!

Bonjour my darlings!

I thought I'd make a blogpost about my room here in Paris with my Hostfamily since I'm leaving Friday.So today was a sort of 'packing-day' cause I know myself...

I HATE packing and it takes me ages to pack so I thought I'd do it a bit early to get through the worst part.Although I've said this a billion times already in my other posts,I'll tell you guys once more:

Yes,I was supposed to stay here in Paris for 6 months.

Yes,I am leaving after 1 month.

Why?

School and hostfamily were payed for 1 month only to check how things were going.School is great and the family too but while I was here I had to look for my own appartment.

Where did it go wrong? 

It's just impossible to find a decent appartment in such a short time that's around €1000.

So me and my dad decided that I move to Brussels and study French there and live there for the next few months.

Am I sad? .....A little

Will I miss it? .....Don't know

Anyway,here's my already a bit empty room.Trust me,I cleaned up a little!

You like my leapard print blacket? 
Brought it all the way from my room to Paris,just for a little Gee-flair I suppose.
Gee-flair...sounds so wrong hah!

It's pretty decent but the floors crack like a motherf*****
Every step I make is like an earthquake throughout the whole appartment so there's even a rule not to walk around a lot after 11 for the downstairs neighbours sake.
Can't wait to go back to Antwerp friday.I missed my friends so much!

Paris Paris! Another week in Paris. (Pic heavy blog)

Oh Paris Paris!

I've been so busy! Finally have some time to update a little.This is my last week in Paris.Leaving friday and after that day going on a huge mission to find a nice appartment in Brussels.It's like a never ending journey to get ready for my future.From Paris to Brussels.I'm gonna be happy when I can speak french so I can have a break...oh no wait,I'm moving to another country in november.

Told you,never ending journey.

Anyway I've been on some free tours with friends.So I thought to take my camera with me and take some pictures.Din't buy any products or anything because I didn't go shopping.Only for some expensive chocolates haha.They were heavenly though.

Well I hope you guys enjoyed a bit of Paris through these pictures.
I'm sad to be leaving.But plans change.
The thing is,I never really liked Brussels,cause I never felt safe there.But it's probably my imagination.Getting to know a new city is a HUGE step for me since I don't really like changes.But this last month I've done so many different things, I'm pretty much very proud of myself.
So next friday I'm off to my next adventure!Wish me luck guys,I'm gonna need it! Brussels,here I come.

Anyone else gonna move to a completely different city?

Paris Paris! Naked palette 1+2 (Sephora haul)

Bonjour my lovelies!

Well I've been in Paris for 2 weeks now and I love(d) this place so so much.But right now I'm a bit depressed cause my newest Iphone 4S has been stolen in a subway station.I just had the phone for 1 month so I'm really sad about that.I bought an old phone here wich I can't even remember how to use but it will do for now.

In other news:I'm probably not staying for 6 months. Right now I'm staying with a host family but that's only been payed for 1 month,same with my school to learn French.Unfortunatly finding an appartment in Paris that is decent is just impossible.I found 4 appartments and every time I want to make an appointment to look at the appartments they get snatched right infront of my nose by renters who dont even want to see the app and rent them online.FML.

Now you're probably thinking: Gee? Why u no rent appartment online like the others?

Well,renting a furnished appartment with wifi,kitchen and bathroom close to Paris Central is between €1000 -€1500/ month wich is just way too expensive for a small little studio.(Trust me they are small,it's Paris) and I want to be sure it's a good appartment before I pay the amount of a Balenciaga bag every month.(This does not include money for food and going out/shopping)

So me and dad decided that I come back to Belgium and get a good unfurnished livable appartment with around 3 rooms in Brussels and study french there instead of abnormaly expensive Paris. (The stolen phone thing triggered my dad I guess,he's scared to death now and calls me everyday.)So actally that appartment will be my new home.So I won't be going back home to mom (only the first few months).After learning French I will be going to another country anyway.

Now that that's cleared I went shopping like a mad woman just to calm my nerves cause my phone got stolen.Guess where I went.That's right: SEPHORA BABY!

 Best foundation I used! except for a clinique one but couldn't find my colour on belgium.

 I always use the Urban decay clear eyeshadow primer potion and thought I'd buy the pigmented one for once.Didn't like it,it creased like a mother****** so went back and got the clear one.


So because we don't have urban decay in Belgium and I love urban decay,I went a little crazy and bought both naked palettes.I LOVE THEM.I gotta say though,if you have one of the 2 palettes,thats enough too cause the colours are pretty similar.I got both cause I was so flippin' excited i finally got my hands on naked palettes!

 You also get a small little lip plump gloss with the naked palette 2.Wich I love! It cools down and plumps the lip.

I love the Make Up Forever HD foundation!


That's about it for now,gonna start studying French.This monday leveling up from complete beginner to um not so complete beginner?
It's funny cause I understand French pretty well,I'm just horrible at speaking French haha.
