Travel Thursday – Sardinia
Welcome on board, this Thursday you are flying with Beauty Suitcase Air to Sardinia, Italy’s biggest island. Sardinia is known for its blue beaches, authentic Italian (Sardinian) food and tiny historical towns. The high light of my trip to Sardinia this past summer was eating risotto in a local restaurant/canteen in a tiny mountain village made by an Italian cook that could have easily been my grandpa. Or ‘nonno’ as the Italians say. Click ‘Read more’ to start the engines!n
These days it seems like Western girls all try to make their eyebrows look like those of Cara Delevingne. The thicker, the bushier, the darker, the better. In Japan however brow trends are going a whole different direction, you could even say the opposite one, what is called ‘pastel’, ‘light’ or ‘soft’ brows are what’s hot there at the moment. Girls die, trim and even completely shave of their eyebrows in order to achieve the, in their eyes, perfect shape. 
Quite a dramatic change from my previous diary post title. That’s right, no more partying in the USA, I’m back in school *unfortunately*. Lately I’ve found myself not enjoying journalism school as much as I used to. The class is fun, the teachers are great and the subject is Magazines, which is something I’m very fond of, but for some reason I’m just not having it. I just feel that, thanks to my freelance work, I know the ins and outs of journalism. Luckily my Korean friend Eunjin is here in The Netherlands (for a year!) and cheered me up with some Korean makeup goodies. Also this week my boyfriend Chris and I made a delicious dinner and I had my first hot cacao of this fall. Will you look at me at my picture diary of the past week? 
How amazing does this eye shadow palette from Wet ‘n Wild by Fergie looks? But you know what’s even better? It only costs five bucks! That’s only € 3,70 euro. I swatched the Dutchess Lounge palette for you all and created an eye look with some of the colors. While doing so I ran into a big surprise! Click to read more. 
Two days ago the world marked twelve years since 9/11. Reading all the news articles reminded me again of how much hate there is in this world. Seeing what the victims had to go through that day is heartbreaking. Me and Chris visited Margraten in the province Limburg last year. One of the most impressive American Cemeteries, were many soldiers that lost their life’s fighting for my countries freedom lay, is located here. With this post I want to honor all the victims of 9/11 and and other wars and terrors that our world has had to deal with and still is dealing with. 
Finding healthy food when on a holiday in the USA is not always easy, especially when it comes down to deserts. Today I wanted to introduce you all to one of my favorite American originated treats and must-eat when in the States: frozen yogurt. As well as give peek into my favorite ‘froyo’ store: Yo Mama. 
Our busy everyday lives in the Netherlands have started again. Going to the USA for one of our annual family visits this summer turned out to be an amazing all-American experience once again. The last week there we had another campfire, several BBQ’s, went tubing and ate Chicago deep dish pizza. Read about our first week here. Look with me at my USA holiday pictures and find out who was the biggest ‘shopaholic’ between me and my boyfriend Chris this trip! 
Jetlag. Many people get bothered by this nasty phenomena after a long-haul flight, some do more than others. My dear boyfriend Chris for example is one of those people that happily hop three time zones within one week – real story- , but others, like myself at the current moment, feel ‘sick’ for a certain period of time when switching time zones. So what can you do about a jetlag? After making many intercontinental flights, I’ve created a list with tips that – for me – help the most to prevent/lessen a jetlag. 
There are days that I don’t feel like wearing a lot of makeup. Just some concealer, mascara brows and a nude lip. The only problem was that I didn’t have any nude lip product. A while ago I stumbled upon the LIP Pen by H&M, which is technically a chubby stick dupe and decided to try it out for the blog. 
Whenever you think of South Korea you instantly think of Seoul, but there is a lot more to the country. Take for example the historical capitol of Korea Gyeongju, a must see when visiting South Korea in my opinion. During my stay abroad I visited this lovely town twice; once when I
