Yoga Socks!

Yoga Rocks!

Especially when I use these Yoga Socks. As you probably know I'm a big yoga fan. I especially love vinyasa yoga. It's a very intensive form of yoga in which you are in a flow of moving but find strength in your breathing. It is as intensive that I start sweating which makes things quite slippery on my yoga mat. To avoid all this, i recently started using these yoga socks. They are similar to what little kids use for support. Not only does it help me from sliding off my yoga mat but it also helps me spread my toes for a better grounded feeling (which is the essence of yoga)

This is a post i already prepared in september but i never managed to finish it. I was able to do a yoga session next to the canal nearby. Look at the amazing view. So calming... Don't you miss summer?

 

After a yoga session, I like spraying my body with pure Argan Oil. Then I lie down Savanasa (Relaxation flat on your back) for a few minutes which helps my body to soak up the oil.

Baby skin afterwards, girls and boys! So perfect for cold winter days when your skin gets dry..

 

Autumn outfit

 

What a lovely start of september it has been. The best weather ever! Since this weekend you can feel that autumn is coming. I can even see that the trees are secretly giving up on summer. It's a period of change with a positive outlook to the future. I'm so ready for it!

 

 

I'm wearing a lovely jumpsuit from ASOS. For colder moments I wear this great new Caroline Biss jacket. It's a sporty and very comfortable but stylish outfit which you can fix up with some nice jewelry.

Nail pearls

It's such fun to experiment with nalpolish colors! Every beginning of summer don't we all buy the craziest colors? Just because it makes us smile! And this while we probably have enough nailpolish to be painting our nails day in day out for the rest of our lives. Oh well... isn't it lovely to be a woman?

 

Next to playing with colors you can also play with textures. Great example and supereasy to apply are nail pearls. You can find them in one color (on the picture i got the color 'it rains money' which is a shiny gold/silver) or you can aplly nail pearls in different colors (on the picture it's called 'candy buffet'). It is a playful extra. Fun to do and it adds a cute detail.

 

I know thes has been a trend since more than half a year or so. But it's not about when the trend is there but whether you like it. And right  now I really felt like trying!

 

I got the left set for myself and the right set is a little gift for my friend.

 

 

First I like to start with cleaning my nails properly. Then I apply a nail care pen. It nourishes the nails. I also use a nail hardener as a base.

 

 

Then I apply a first layer of nailpolish. I chose the color 'sparkling water lily' as a base. After applying the second layer of nailpolish you sprinkle the pearls over your nail. Fun to do, really! Make sure you put something underneath otherwise your floor will sparkle...

 

 

 

To finish it off I use a few express dry drops. It not only dries your nails much faster (which is much needed when you want to change your nailpolish quite often) but it also  fixates it a little.

 

Hope you enjoy applying the nail pearls as well!

Love.

Shoes with a story

 

 

 

I love second hand shopping! It is wonderful to encounter old objects which belonged to somebody else. They each have their history and stories behind them. I always make up stories where the things I find might come from. 

 

 

A few days ago, I got these ethnic shoes in a second hand store. They look as if they've hardly been worn. I love the beading on them. They are a bit quirky but can look really fun with black skinny jeans and a crisp-white blouse.

 

I imagine them coming from a  positive dark-skinned mother who loves cooking a lot. Therefore she's in her kitchen for hours and hours to make big portions of unbelievably delicious food. No idea why I get this association. Hopefully they are like a Cinderella shoe giving me the talent to cook wonderful food for hours as well?

 

Love.
