Happy New Year + Big News!

Happy New Year everyone! We're finally in 2016 and 2016 has some great opportunities for me. I'm decided to start with fulltime blogging. I'm still a psychology student, but I'm doing that parttime. That's why I have enough time for my blog and that is why I made the decision to start blogging fulltime.

Last year I was struggling with finding time for my blog. I couldn't find time because of the parttime job I had next to my study. Sometimes I had to stop blogging. And I hated that. The last couple of months I started to think what I really wanted with my life and of course with  my blog. I wanted to bring my blog to the next level, but I didn't know how. And where did I needed to find time for that. Eventually I decided that if I wanted to be 100% committed to my blog, that I needed to take all the time that I had and started working on my blog. That was the moment I decided that I wanted to blog fulltime. And that fulltime blogging starting right now. Here in 2016!

I'm so exited for this and I can't wait to see what will happen with my blog if I put all the effort and time on it. This is my resolutions for 2016 and I have another big plan for my blog. Or next to my blog, I need to say. I am going to start a webshop for accessories. This webshop wil launch in february and will be on his own, but still connected to my blog. From now on I will update you about the webshop every week.

A lot of big news and a lot of excited new things. I hope that 2016 will bring you a lot of happiness, love and great opportunities.

Walking in a Winter Spring

Top: Forever21 / Sweater: Seventh Sister / Trousers: H&M / Shoes: H&M / Earrings: Forever21 / Bag: Mango

I've seen a lot of pictures from other bloggers with snow. Well, here in the Netherlands it's warm. We have spring weather. It's to warm for your coat. Strange thing. No snow this year with Christmas. We didn't had that last year either. But the years before that we had a lot of snow. I love snow! It's gives me a magical feeling to see that everything is white and that the waters are frozen, so we can go iceskating. I miss that kind of winters.

The Holiday Season + Update

Christmas is almost here and I thought it would be a great idea to give you guys a little bit of an update. It's been a while, but I have some great news. Last couple of weeks I have going through a lot of researches in the hospital, but I heard some great news last thursday: I am healthy! I'm so happy. I can leave the last couple of years behind me now and really start my life. For who is following my blog for a long time, they know I got diagnosed with fibromyalgia two years ago. Fortunately, I do not have that. My body was going under a lot of stress and that caused some health problems in my body. I'm finally better now.

This year I'm going to spend Christmas with my family. In the Netherlands we have two Christmas Day's.
Christmas Day 1: we are going to my family and celebrate Christmas with my sister, brother and parents.
Christmas Day 2: my boyfriend is a fireman, so he needs to work. I celebrate that day with a good friend of my.
Christmas Day 3: this year we introduce a third Christmas day and on that day we are going to my parents in law.

I never grew up with Christmas. I'm celebrating Christmas since I am 21. I grew up in a faith that do not celebrate Christmas or any other kind of holiday celebration. But my parents always tried to make the best of it. We didn't had a Christmas tree or presents, but we spent that two days with family and ate a lot. Actually the same what we are doing now.
But I always knew that when I leave that religion, the first thing I wanted to have was a Christmas Tree. So, I did. I wish I could have a Christmas tree all year around. But then it wouldn't be special anymore.

I wish all of you Merry Christmas!

RECIPE: GLUTENFREE M&M's Cookies

Something totally different then fashion, but it's a lifestyle blog. So, it's was time for a recipe. Last year I found out that I have celiac disease. In other words: I have a gluten allergy. I always loved to bake, but after I got diagnosed, I stopped with baking. Because baking glutenfree is totally something different. In May I started to bake a cake for my birthday. It was my first glutenfree baking experience and I loved it. My father is a baker and he was overwhelmed by my cake. I did something good, I think. So, I starting baking again.

Yesterday the daughter of a friend of my came over and she wanted to make cookies. We decided to make this delicious M&M's cookies.  Here is the recipe:

• 300 gr M&M's
• 200 gr glutenfree flour. I used the Schär Mix-c
• 100 gr Caster Sugar
• 75 gr Sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon Fiberhusk
• 1 egg
• 85 gr butter

Mix the dry ingredients together and add the butter and egg as last. Mix this all and knead this all to a dough. Heat the oven at 180 celcius. Take a baking tray and use baking paper at the bottom. Make small balls from the dough and lay them on the baking tray. Put the tray in the oven and bake the cookies for 18/20 minutes.

Enjoy your cookies!
