Back to the 80's: blue eyemake up

Well how do we wear this cool make up trend nowadays? If you don't want to go overboard with the pop of blue on your eyes, just stick with a blue eyeliner. Blue is one of the only colors that looks great with any eyecolor, skintone or hair color, so trying out a blue eyeliner could really be fun for everyone! Instead of a liner along the lashline, you can also apply a blue eye pencil on the waterline of your lower lashline for a more subtle look.

Or are you a bit more of dare devil? Go for a blue mascara on the top and bottom lashes! This will definitely turn those eyes into eyecatchers! You can keep the rest of the look simple with a nude lip, of go for the ultimate 80's look with a hot pink lipstick. How funky!

Wanna keep  it a little more plain? Instead of going for blue mascara or eyeliner, go for a hint of blue in your eyemakeup. A blue smokey eye is the perfect look for a night out.

Genius tip to stop craving sugar

You know you've got a sugar craving when your mind goes "I need chocolate RIGHT now"... Or a donut, or an entire bag of marshmallows. At that moment your body is just craving that quick boost of energy that simple carbohydrates give you instantly. But that peak will soon be over and you'll feel less energetic, so your body will start craving sugar again. It can be really hard to break that circle, but just our luck, super model Adriana Lima shared her tip to avoid sugar cravings! 

No, it is not a certain kind of pill, detox tea or anything else what many celebrities have been promoting on Instagram lately. It's an all natural product that we all have in our kitchen: honey! Yes, starting your day with  a cup of tea or coffee with a little bit of honey in it will directly stabilize your blood sugar levals, according to the super model. Adriana personally goes for a drop of honey in her cappucino, but feel free to add a little natural sweetness to any kind of coffee or tea.

So there you have it. Another well known tip from many celebrities (queen B Beyonce does this too) is drinking hot water with lemon and honey, which not only does the trick as well, but lemon is also a great detoxer. But if you prefer coffee over hot water in the morning, you know what you need to add; a little honey, Honey.

Ways to rock the bell-sleeve trend

Wear it with jeans
Jeans pretty go with everything, especially with a top that already draws attention with those big sleeves! Take a  look at how perfectly Vanessa Jackman wore that bell-sleeved top.

Blogger Paola Alberdi also knows exactly how to wear that lace bell-sleeved top: with black jeans and a cute purse. Of course, with maching round sunnies for that 70's vibe.



Ton-sur-ton
Again, the bell-sleeve top is pretty out there on it's own, so keeping the rest of the look plain will do your outfit good. Ton-sur-ton, or just a one-color outfit, looks great with these pretty big sleeves. Blogger Blair Edie definitely works it in a blush toned ensamble.



Stylist Rachel Zoe also knows how to best style the bell-sleeve trend of couse.. By keeping the rest of the look simple. That pop of pink is enough to turn heads on the red carpet.



The bell-sleeve dress
Another way of rocking the bell-sleeve trend is wearing a bell-sleeve trend and pair it with another eyechathing item, like knee high boots or a great bag to finish the look. Or both, like Molly Rustas did here.



Black and white
A white bell-sleeved blouse goes best with...? Yes, black trousers! The classic black and white combination is always a good one. Kate Bosworth looks chic in this look, but the lace fabric make this outfit a bit more playful. Nice job, Kate!

You definitely don't have to go big or go home if it's up to actress Kerry Washington. She wore a rather small bell-sleeved black and white polka dot dress and looked stunning in it!

Only THIS natural product will repair your hair

Coconut oil it is! an all natural product that most of us probably already have in our kitchen. This oil is high in saturated fat which means the molecules are small enough to actually penetrate into the hair shaft. Coconut oil penetrates the hair shaft at 50-75% while for example, olive oil, only penetrates it at 25%. Let's skip the rest of the science part, but research has shown that no other oil gets absorbed by the hair like coconut oil does. 

Many women spend a lot of money on all kinds of luxury oils, Argan oils and Marrocan oils to repair our hair and make it smooth and shiny. These oils sometimes contain coconut oil, but also other oils like almond oil... That last one does not do much for your hair, in fact, it will make your hair greasy and heavy. The best thing is to buy 100% pure coconut fat, which becomes oil when it warms up in the palm of your hand. All you have to do is apply the oil to your hair and let it absorb for as long as possible before rinsing it out. It makes your hair feel thicker and so much smoother from the outside as well as stronger on the inside.

Now you know the only truly effective oil for smoother, shinier and silkier hair!

NEW | RAY-BAN SUNGLASSES FROM SUNGLASSESSHOP

Hi all! I am sorry for the long time no see. Been super busy with internship last week, which is all very exciting though :) I've been so busy that I have totally missed all the packages that arrived for me last week, haha. Luckily my parents pointed out the stack of packages for me, including one I was looking out for a lot! You know what I am really obsessed about? Ray-Ban sunglasses. I've had my green Aviators for a while now and I thought it was time for a new pair of Ray-Bans.. Keep on reading to find out which ones I got!

I really like the Wayfarer shape, so after scrolling through the major collection on Sunglassesshop, I picked out these Tortoise sunglasses. They're black / brown-ish so they go with basically any look, which I think is very important! The glasses are pretty dark, which I love, since light glasses are cute, but I do want actualy protection from the sun. 

It's been very clouded in Holland the last couple of days, but today the sun in shining, woohoo! I have to go to work (only 2 more times after today!) so I'm gonna rock my new shades on my way to work;)

Have a great weekend everybody!

Velvet items to fall in love with

The trend colors for fall are pretty deep, rich colors...Think about deep red, army green and navy blue. Diggin' it, but what about the most popular material this fall and winter? Definitely velvet! Velvet is a fabric that has literally got a 90's feel to it. Wear velvet and it'll make you feel sexy, smooth (literally) and luxurious. Perhaps even a little mysterious. These are velvet items to totally fall in love with!

Velvet ankle boots
YAS, velvet ankle boots are many fashionista's latest obsession. Not only are these two examples below totally on trend color wise, also the block heel has made a comeback. 

Velvet clothes
Yes, you guessed it! Of all velvety things, velvet clothes cannot miss out on this list. Kim Kardashian and her sisters Kendall and Kylie definitely love this trend. Kim wore her velvet maxi dress with snakeskin boots, while Kendall went for a teeny tiny black velvet top. But Black Velvet doesn't have to be the standard... Just look at Kylie, rocking that baby blue oversized jacket.

Velvet phone cases
Velvet whát?! That's right: phone cases! Forget marble phone cases, those are so 3 months ago. Even though you were already inseperable from your phone, it will become like glued to your hand with a smooth,velvety phone case like these from Aliexpress.

Velvet nails

After caviar nails, surely velvet nails had to become a thing! Nailpolish brand Ciaté is known for the craziest nail products to turn your manicure into something special, so make sure to look for this brand when giving velvet nails a try!

Velvet chokers
Again a trend that Kim Kardashian started: the velvet choker. No more statement necklaces or major bling around our necks. This season, the velvet choker is your best friend. Not neccessarily in black, because ASOS has got a cute one in pink too...Dare to be different!

As we get older, we all go through different stages in life... Perhaps you've come to the conclusion that you're in the middle of your quarter life crisis? Read all about the signs here. Or perhaps you just feel way more (or less!) mature than you used to a few years ago. Growing up or growing older; they can both be pretty challenging times of you life. But there are also good things about them: the great life lessons you learn along the way! Read all about them below.

1. You're responsible for your own happiness
Nobody can live your life for you. It's up to you to make the most out of it and be responsible for your own happiness! Isn't that an insanely powerfull thing to realize? YOU are in charge. Don't like the way things are going with your work, your friends or your life? You can make the change for yourself.

2. You'll make goals instead of excuses
It was always so easy to make up excuses for not doing things or not feeling responsible when we were younger, right? Excuses aren't going to get you anywhere;which you will realise as you get older. Sometimes you just gotta do things and set goals to achieve them. You always learn from the goals you accomplish.

3. You'll get over your fears
Fear is totally normal. Though, as we get older, we must let go of our fears to move up the ladder and sometimes learn things the hard way. Life is full of dificult decisions, but as we grow older (and sometimes a litte more sensible, hah!) we have less trouble facing our fears which allows us to accomplish greater things.

4. Your health is important
Remember your teenage years when you could easily go out every weekend, drink everything you want and feel totally fine the next Monday? Big change if you'd repeat a weekend like your teenage years, you'll end up feeling exhausted, sick and so-not okay to go to work. That's when you realize that after a certain age (this can be different for everyone) the choices you make about what you do in your weekends or how much or little you sleep will affect your health. #Not17anymore.

5. True friends are few. Value them.
You may have many friends when you are young but once you grow up and everyone goes their own way, that number will go down and only the true ones will remain. So cherish them. Those friends will be the friends you'll have for life.

Do you recognize the things above? And are there more things in life you have learned as you got older? Share your thoughts in the comments :)
