Feel-good Thursday: I love Dove!

Haaaaappy thursday everyone!

Are you having a good day? Enjoying the new year, and sticking to your new years resolutions? I've had some minor failures but also some great successes already! If you've read my last post you know that I decided to cook more often and healthier, but then life happened haha. I had so many fun things to do this week, and a lot of these things involved going out for dinner with friends... I love going out for dinner with friends but that did mean that I only cooked dinner once this week... whoops!

On the other hand, I managed to go for a 40 minute run already twice this week! Such an achievement! I can already notice the effect it has on my energy levels and the way I feel in general, I can really recommend you to go out for a little walk or a run if you're feeling down!

On top of that I started getting back some grades from the exams I had before christmas, and I found out that I finished one course with an 8,5/10. Considering that it is almost impossible to get a 10/10 in the Netherlands (that's similar to an A+) this is exceptionally good, I'm sooooo happy, you can't imagine!

But there is something else that is getting me excited at the moment, and I've got two great hints for you: the first is the title of this post and the second are these pictures:



I found the best conditioner/mask for my hair, and you already know what brand I'm going to talk about. I LOVE DOVE! I wouldn't want to say I have particularly 'difficult' hair, but if I want it to look the way I want it I have to spend about half an hour drying and styling it. But then came Dove and their miracle called: 'Hair Therapy - Nutritive solutions - Nourishing oil care' and I'm convinced this is the One for me.

Dove conditioner + treatment

 It does not weigh my hair down, but it does smooth down my hair and make it seriously shiny. I used it as a replacement for my normal conditioner, before this one I was using the Dove Intense Repair conditioner but I didn't feel that was doing it for me. My hair is also not that damaged, I have never colored my hair and I only use a blowdryer and sometimes a straightener on my hair and when I do I use a heat protectant. I do have a lot of hair and it's very thick as well and it tends to get dry so I always have to use a lot of product in my hair to get it soft and silky. I usually don't like wear it super straight but slightly wavy (that is how my hair naturally is anyway), but without a great conditioner I need to straighten my hair to make it super soft... Well, those days are over! So if you have a bit thicker hair and you like to use products like Moroccan Oil or any other type of Argan Oil I can really recommend this product, it will save you time, money and it won't weigh your hair down at all!

I hope you're also having a great week, please let me know whether you'd like to read more posts like this one, I've got some more products that I love and I would like to share with you :).

Lots of love,

Beautiful Wednesdays: current beauty favorite

Hey guys, I hope you're having a beautiful wednesday!

It is a wonderful autumn day here in Utrecht, the sun is shining, it is not too windy and the sunlight makes all the yellow leaves on the trees look golden.

I decided to start a little series on my blog called 'Beautiful Wednesdays', you can already read quite a bit about recipes here, but I also enjoy buying and using new (or old) beauty favorites. That is why I've decided to upload a little review of my favorite beauty product every week!

This week it's a nail-polish. I've already confessed my love for the L'Oreal nail-polishes, but my love has only grown bigger since the last time I talked to you about them. As you might have read it was my birthday last sunday and once I'm 'past my birthday' christmas always feels so much closer! Is it too soon? Maybe. Do I care? Not really, because I found the perfect christmassy nail-polish:

The L'Oreal nailpolish #836 Scarlet Tinsel
Oh my, isn't that pretty? It's a nice fuchsia-pink-glitter and the glitters are really small. You need a couple of layers to cover your nail with glitter if you don't use a colored base-coat. I was afraid that would take too long so I painted my nails with Rimmel's 'lycra pro professional finish' in 402 in Urban Purple (which is not a purple but a fuchsia as well) first before I added a layer of the L'Oreal glitter. I've only just bought it so I'm not sure whether it will chip easily or not, but I will let you know next week!

This was really an impulse buy by the way, I travel to Amsterdam a couple of times a week by train to go to university and there is a little drugstore in the train-station. Every time I have to wait more than 5 minutes before I can board my train I end up going into the drugstore. I was only in for 3 minutes today and I still managed to buy something haha... Ah well, it got me in the Christmas mood!

What about you? Are you looking forward to the holidays, or do you think it's too soon? And what color nail-polish is your favorite at the moment?

love,
