Happy July

Happy Monday and happy July! I want to share the fact that I'm part-taking in a blogger challenge set up by a fellow Yu di Korsou (Curaçao native), a girl I used to be in class with. She blogs about society and anything unconventional. She is creative, witty and not afraid to share her point of view. Check out her blog Antiyano mi ta "here" 
The purpose of the challenge is to get your creative juices flowing, to build a flow in your posts and to newtwork with other bloggers. Expect some guest posts from other participating bloggers from Curaçao including a poet, photographer, food bloggers and fellow fashion bloggers. 
Embrace July and your summer break!
On another note... I'm currently planning a short trip to Paris! 
*Excited to share my Paris adventures*
Au revoir, à tout à l'heure

Packing Tips; Summer Get-Away




I am well on my way and I cannot wait! 2 ten hour flights, 2 layovers and 12 timezones away.
If you happen to go on a little weekend get away, I leave you with some summer packing tips!
Aloha!

Staycation....


Okay, don't you sometime feel like you just need to go on a vacation?! I was at that point that, you want to feel new adventures, get out of your everyday routine and just relax! 
But since most of us can't actually get away every weekend, here are some tips to have a wonderful staycation.
One thing I'm obsessed with lately is my Korres Shower Gel and Body Butter. They have absolutely wonderful scents, it actually reminds me of a tropical escape in a bottle (so wake up to that!). Korres is inspired by Greek Goddesses and was created by a Greek homeopathic pharmacist. Korres is natural and organic all plant and herb based. The ones I'm using now are Fig and Guava, but I cannot wait for them to finish to go get myself the coconut milk scent! In Amsterdam you can get them at Cosmania. 
When Stayationing at home, you want to be comfortable and you may spoil yourself a bit! Everybody deserves it, I think....
Get yourself an exotic plant or flower arrangement (plants make me happy, Dork!), My guilty pleasure is the latest fashion magazine, put on something on the record player and flip through like there is no tomorrow. Sip on herb infused water, it's so refreshing, especially in the summer heath. I like mint & ginger, or basil, but you can also throw in some sliced fruit, yum!
Spoil yourself with an at home mani! Soack your hand in luke-warm water (add some lavender or rose petals to the water), srucb your hands, and give them a color coat that reminds you of vacation!

And Last, make yourself an awesome breakfast omelette. They serve omelets at the cool hotel breakfast bars;), so invent your own deliciousness. I like my omelette fluffy, topped with avocado and salsa rosada (one part ketchup, one part mayonnaise, a splash of whiskey and oregano spices)
Et Voila! Happy Staycation!

Travel Journal; London

A week has come and gone, just like last weekends trip to London. A few snapshots to give a taste of what London has to offer. First day taking the touristy stroll past the Jubilee Gardens, The London Eye and the famous Big Ben. Day 2 was spent roaming vintage shops and markets like Brick Lane Market and Sunday Up Market. Scoring some good thrifts, some awesome locally designed and made products and some delicious international dishes.  
Day 3. Walking around Kensington area and a visit to the V&A Museum. One of the many wonderful things of London is that most museums are free of charge, which I think is amazing. The price of learning about different cultures, history and many other interesting exhibitions that museums offer, should be priceless I find.

Day 4. Taking in all the awesome and crazy fashion statements at Summer Set Housewhere London Fashion Week is hosted.

Cadaqués, Spain in Snapshots

Cadaqués is a tiny town on the North-East of spain. Home to Famous artist Salvador Dali who lived and worked in his house, as displayed as he had left it after he died. As you drive in, from a zig-zag road through the mountins (the only way in-and-out of town), you notice all houses and buildings are white, with primarily blue, or deep red or green windows and doors. The delicious Spanish foods like; Jamon Ibérico, Manchego cheese and Pan con Tomate. The weather is great, views are beautiful an the peope are friendly.
You should definitely stop by one time!
Benvinguts a Cadaqués!! My weekend in snapshots in Spain.
