Tired, leave me alone...

Instead of talking, I will show you what's going down chez moi tonight ;-)

Buttery popcorn, Spanish wine and nail painting

You might have noticed that I am posting much less recently. It's all because I am so super busy at work that I have no strength left to write, or do anything else, really

Hope you're being more productive. All I have planned for tonight is painting my nails ;-)

Eating strawberries & writing blogposts

You know how yesterday I told you how unbearably disgusting the weather is? Well, it cleared up eventually, and we got to go to the Ardennes. Some people (not me ;) call this place 'the Belgian mountains'. In order to find this funny, you have to realize how small & flat Belgium is ;)

the Ardennes are in fact small hills, but hey, who cares... At least you get to see something different than same old Brussels.

Dinant area, temporarily sunny

Since it was a day off, we decided to drive out of town to see if the famous strawberries are anywhere to be found. And yes, they were!

You have to understand how deliciously sweet the strawberries of Wepion are!!!

They are sold in those cute little strawberries stands
You want some, don't you ;)
How often do you see the real strawberries? The perfect ones, and the less perfect ones alike? Sooooo rare in Belgium
After we ate some strawberries (no, of course we didn't wash them!!!) we decided to go a bit deeper in the Ardennes land, up until Dinant. Yours truly did all the driving! In style, too ;)

As you can see from the pictures, the weather was already being a bit moody. We had a quick lunch there and decided to head back home to avoid the unstoppable rain...

Have a great Sunday!

Rainy day in Brussels

It's one of those days in Brussels AGAIN...

You wake up, look outside only to see that whatever is going on in there looks more like mid November rather than mid May.

Sad but hey, this is the way weather works in Belgium.

We were going to go for a nice ride somewhere to the Ardennes. Guess that's not going to happen...

Hope that you get to enjoy the good weather for the both of us;)

Some activity on my end

I mentioned a few times that I am getting married in October. Since every bride wants to be the most beautiful bride in the world, I am no exception.

In order to achieve it, I decided to work my butt off and I have been doing so for the past four months. I figured, that if I tried simple interval training, not only will I become stronger but also healthier & high on endorphins ;)

I won't lie, there are days when I don't feel like doing much. I try to push through them... Motivation is the key. That's where Pinterest comes in handy.

I see myself walking down the isle and want to have the most beautiful memories from our special day. I dream about it & I know if it can be dreamed, it can be done ;)
How true! You need to know where you are at this very moment! Only then you can choose where you're going next...
The one below always makes me laugh & really motivates me to get off the couch to go running.
Never undermine what you're doing! Think big and appreciate your body for letting you reach so far;) I do ;)
When in doubt, I remind myself of when I was 9 kilograms heavier and 9 kilograms more miserable... It works like a charm ;)

Xoxo

Love this! Check it out!

Good music doesn't have to come from America! Fact! ;-)

This piece below is something I discovered recently and I simply can't get over how amazingly beautiful it is. Everything, starting with the video, lyrics and the overall message speaks volumes!

Why can't there be more songs like that?! KT Tunstall is a Scottish artist and even thought I haven't heard aout her before, I'm pretty sure I will be listening to her from now on.

 

" I’m looking to the sky

And I’ll be listening to the stars

And maybe thinking of you

And wondering where you are

Do you know what you’ve done for me

You made my branches grow

Now they can play with the wind

And they can carry the snow "

Do you like it? What's the song you're enjoying lately?

I don't know about you but I get zits...

I have always, always, ALWAYS had great skin! No acne, hormonal blemishes, nothing. NADA

until recently that is...

I have been searching the internet high and low for some advice on how to avoid having occasional break outs. Nothing life changing, until I found this

Do you always break out in the same places? According to my Chinese medicine doctor, Dr. Wang Zheng Hu, the location of acne spots on your face can give you an indication of their underlying cause.

Your skin often reflects your internal health, so by analyzing where you get pimples and "mapping" where acne pops up on your face, you can understand what's causing your acne and prevent the zits from forming!

Do you think it is a fake? It sounds so convincing to me...
