Hello! Ik heb de 25 vragen tag al een aantal keer voorbij zien komen op verschillende blogs en het leek me wel leuk om de tag over te nemen! Ik heb namelijk al zo lang geen tag meer gedaan! Zo komen jullie ook meer te weten over mij. De 25 vragen houdt in dat je 25 vragen beantwoordt over jezelf. So let's get started! :-)

Hoe laat stond je vanmorgen op?
Rond 09:00 uur. (Het is zondag vandaag)

Wanneer heb je voor het laatst gedoucht?
Twee uurtjes geleden, dus in de ochtend gelijk! Normaal douche ik altijd 's avonds want in de ochtend moet ik anders vroeger opstaan en ik ben totaal geen ochtendmens haha.

Heb je huisdieren?
Nee, helaas! Ik wil zo graag een Shiba hondje.

Hoeveel broers/zussen heb je?
Ik heb één zusje van 15 jaar! Ze heeft ook een blog :-)

Noem drie dingen die dicht bij je liggen?
Mijn iPhone, studieboek en geurkaars.

Hoe is het weer op dit moment?
Het zonnetje schijnt, met lichte bewolking dus ik ben blij!

Wat is de laatste film die je hebt gezien?
12 years a slave! Wow, wat een heftige maar super goede film was dat zeg. Zeker een aanrader!

Waar doe je boodschappen?
Ik doe altijd boodschappen bij verschillende winkels. Maar als ik zou moeten kiezen, de AH.

Heb je ooit medicijnen gebruikt om eerder in slaap te vallen?
Nee en ik zal het ook nooit doen. Er is vast een reden waarom je niet in slaap kan vallen (stress o.i.d.) en ik vind dat je dat niet op kunt lossen door medicijnen te gebruiken. Daarnaast ben ik ook niet zo'n persoon die snel medicijnen neemt. Pas als het echt moet!


Rijd je auto?
Jep! Ik heb sinds half januari mijn rij-examen in 1x gehaald! Ik rijd alleen niet zo vaak auto omdat de auto bijna nooit beschikbaar is..

Wanneer heb je voor het laatst gehuild?
Tijdens de film 12 years a slave! Ik huil best snel bij films en series haha!

Ik heb besloten om vanaf vandaag elke week een Instadiary te laten zien, aangezien niet iedereen Instagram heeft en/of mij volgt. Het lijkt me leuk om per week te laten zien wat ik de afgelopen week heb gedaan! Bij deze dus de eerste Instadiary van week 11! Ik heb deze week niet erg veel gedaan, ben naar school geweest en heb genoten van het heerlijk lente weertje. Ik merk trouwens wel dat ik (heel) veel food foto's maak haha! Hopelijk hebben jullie ook een leuke week gehad :-)

Als je mij nog niet volgt op Instagram, je kunt me volgen op CindyNgn!

Liefs, Cindy

Hallo lieve lezers! Gister is de voorjaarsvakantie voor het Noorden begonnen. Ik moet helaas de hele dag leren, want ik heb woensdag een herkansing van Bedrijfsadministratie en -economie. Ik had die tentamen niet gemaakt, omdat ik toen mijn rij-examen had! Gelukkig ben ik wel in één keer geslaagd, anders zou het wel heel erg zonde zijn geweest! Dus ja, ik heb vandaag eigenlijk niets anders gedaan dan leren. In mijn leerpauzes heb ik even een paar foto's gemaakt, want ik wilde een 'five favorites'-blogpost maken, dus bij deze! In deze blogpost laat ik zien wat momenteel mijn vijf favoriete dingen zijn.

1. Nescafé Hazelnut Latte. Dit is echt god-de-lijk! Ik houd eigenlijk van bijna alle soorten koffie, maar koffie in combinatie met hazelnoot is heel lekker. Ik neem dit ook soms mee in mijn koffiebeker voor in de trein. Jullie moeten de hazelnut latte echt een keertje proberen! :-)


2. Snoepstaafjes. Ohhh, dit is mijn guilty pleasure op dit moment. Volgens mij is echt chemische troep maar I don't care, het is zóóó lekker! Als ik dit eet, doet het me echt denken aan vroeger. Ik zag dit liggen bij de Big Bazar voor maar 1 euro, dus ik had het gelijk meegenomen.


3. H&M Selected Double Sided Brush. Je zag hem misschien al voorbij komen in mijn Antwerpen shoplog. Ik heb deze kwast gekocht in de H&M in Antwerpen, dus ik weet niet of ze het ook in Nederland verkopen (ik heb ze namelijk nog niet gezien). Deze kwast gebruik ik sindsdien elke dag. Het is echt een heel fijne kwast! Ik gebruik hem vooral om oogschaduw aan te brengen in mijn outer v en crease.


4. Batiste Droogshampoo Medium Brown. Ik ben echt verslaafd aan droogshampoo. Het geeft veel volume aan je haar en het laat je haar lekker ruiken! Deze Medium Brown versie was overal uitverkocht, maar na vele drogisterijen te hebben bezocht, heb ik er eentje kunnen bemachtigen. Ik ben heel erg tevreden met deze droogshampoo!
5. Nike Roshe Run. De schoen waar zowat ie-der-een momenteel in loopt. Dat weerhoudt mij er niet van om ze niet te kopen! Ik vind ze zo mooi en ze lopen heerlijk, alsof je op wolken loopt. Nooit meer pijnlijke voetjes! Ik heb deze besteld op Asos. Je kunt op de link klikken, dan kom je automatisch op de pagina.

Wat zijn momenteel jullie vijf favoriete dingen?

Liefs, Cindy

Een hele tijd geleden stond het boek "One line a day" hoog op mijn verlanglijstje. Het is een dagboekje waarin je elke dag een kort tekstje schrijft. Dat doe je dan voor vijf jaar lang. Laatst bracht ik het op bij een vriendin en zij raadde me juist aan om het boek "Q&A a day" te kopen! "Q&A a day" is ook een soort van dagboek waarbij je elke dag, vijf jaar lang, een vraag beantwoord. Het lijkt me heel leuk om elk jaar terug te lezen wat je op dié dag hebt beantwoord. Het boek bevat ontzettend leuke vragen. Een paar dagen geleden heb ik dit boek besteld bij bol.com voor 13,99 en tot nu toe houd ik het elke dag bij. Het was namelijk een vraagteken of ik wel elke dag iets schreef in dat boekje haha! Inhoudelijk gezien is het dus echt een enorm leuk boek maar oh, ik ben verliefd op de kaft en vormgeving van dit boek. Het boek is best klein, maar dat maakt het juist zo schattig! De vormgeving heeft een vintage tintje. Daarnaast maakt het goud aan de zijkant van het boek het helemaal af. Leuke tip dus voor Sinterklaas of kerst! :-)

Liefs, Cindy

Hello dear readers! I am still alive haha! Summer has gone to an end and school's starting again. I had the time of my life in Barcelona and Ibiza. Those are definitely two places what I really want to visit again. I have worked a lot this summer holiday and now after a year of having a full-time job, I'm going back to school! Yay. I am a student again! I have really missed school. I have said that many times to my friends and many people agree, it's much more fun to be a student.. You will get the chance to meet new people and get new opportunities. I study 'Commerciële Economie' (Marketing Management) at Hogeschool van Amsterdam. For my introduction, I went to the Ardennes in Belgium with school for three days. My first week was really fun and I am excited for the rest to come. So bring it on! :)

P.S: I am still doubting about blogging more. I have really missed it the last few weeks.. I will try to write more blogposts!

With love, Cindy

Good morning to all of you! Wow, November was the last time I have wrote a blogpost.. Shame on me. I just haven't got any time to write something. I've been very busy lately. A lot has happened as well. I became 18, my blog exists three years, I quit school and I'm working parttime(almost full sometimes..) at the largest garden centre of Holland which I really like and it gave me so much opportunities! I have learned so much and I'm still learning. One year ago I planned to study and just enjoy the big city, Amsterdam. The study I have done is Media, Information and Communication. Great study and atmosphere but it was too much focussed on media (obviously..) so I decided to stop. In September this year I'm going to study Commercial Economics in Amsterdam because I'm really interested in marketing and sales. I can't wait to go back to school because I have really missed it. It sounds maybe a bit geeky but from everyone I have heard from, who also has quitted school, after a few weeks you will miss young and normal people around you and you just want to focus on your career and future.. So I wouldn't recommend you to quit school because you want to work unless you have no choice. Luckily, everything has worked out for me and I do not regret any of this. I also have the time now to get my drivers licence! So you see, you can not plan everything.

Ok, it has been a while ago when I went to Portugal for 8 days but I wanted to make a blogpost of it because I have a lot to tell you guys. I don't know why people would read this but okay. If you've never travelled alone with your friend then read my experience and advices haha!


I went to Albufeira with a good friend of mine. A few days before we got to go, we received a message saying that we have to flight at 04:00 in the morning/night, whatever. Worst flight time ever! Oh and by the way, we went with this youth travel agency, Beachmasters. We found out that we had to flight with Corendon, a Turkish flight agency and that we had to be at the airport three hours before the flight. Finally, we were there two hours before the actual flight. At first, we didn't know where to go and by that I mean, the Corendon check-in and find the right gate. Eventually, we found it and we went to get some coffee (and tea) at Starbucks and we sat there untill we got to go. After the second check-in, we had to wait more.. When we finally were in the plane, we discovered that we didn't sat next to each other! So guys, don't forget to ask at the check-in desk if you could sit together with your friend. When we sat in the plane, I was to lazy to stand up and use the restroom but my advice is, if you need to use the restroom, GO! Because when I needed to use the restroom, the stewardess came from both sides with food and drinks so I had to wait (luckily for me I sat right in the MIDDLE of the plane.. NOT!). After 20 minutes, the stewardess went back to there place and I thought I could go now. Suddenly, the pilot said the we had some turbulence and that we have to sit and wait untill that small light with the belt on it turned off.. Gosh, the worst minutes of my life. I thought I died.


After 3 hours we arrived in Faro, the largest airport in Portugal which is 40 minutes away from Albufeira. Our plane was the first plane that arrived at the airport that day (06:00 am). When we stepped out of the plane, there was a bus waiting for us which took us to the airport where we could pick up our luggage. After waiting and waiting, I thought my luggage was lost but after 20 minutes, I saw my luggage, yay! Okay, after that we were like, so.. what now? We decided to follow everyone and at the exit we had to look for someone with a Beachmasters sign but my contacts were not at its best because of the long night and my friend didn't have her glasses on so we looked like zombies while looking for the sign haha! I was like, I think I see there something blue.. And luckily, it was the right guy. Now comes the best part, we had to drag our luggage outside to a yellow bus which was pretty far away. I had a stupid, old luggage which hadn't a handle. I tried to roll that frickin' thing but it didn't want to move straight! So frustating!! My second advice is, buy a trolley. When we almost were at the bus, my friend suddenly said, we could also use a cart.. Then we decided to go back (including my stupid no-handle luggage) and put our luggage on the cart haha. A couple minutes later, we almost sat in the bus (with other Beachmasters people) and suddenly we heard it was the wrong bus! But eventually we sat in the right bus which took us to our apartment Vilanova Resort in the new-town Albufeira.


Wow, poofy playsuit haha!
When we were at our lobby I discovered one of my four mini wheels of my luggage was gone.. That's why it didn't want to move straight. The way to our apartment was also an adventure haha. The stones were like the ones in Amsterdam, small little stones with large space in between.. A nightmare for me because I had to drag my three-wheel-luggage over it while the 35 celsius sun was hitting on me haha. Suddenly, a Portugese guy helped me out who I am very thankful for!

Anyways, our apartment looked great! It was really big because we booked a four-person apartment. After that we went to the lobby where we had to gather for the Beachmasters welcome meeting. They told us about what you could do in Albufeira with Beachmasters. We decided to go for the normal party package and Beachmasters card for €50,-. We got a schedule of the week and after that, we went to the beach which was pretty far walking (and heavy!). We had to go down the hill which was okay, but a little slippery because Portugese people clean their sidewalk/doorstep.. Weird right? The beach, Praia da Oura was wonderful! The rocks looked phenomenal! We chosed a place to lay down and in all of the sudden, a guy with long jeans (it was over 35 celsius on the beach) came to us, asking if we wanted to buy sunglasses.. Uhh.. I already had sunglasses on haha. After 5 minutes, another guy asked us if we wanted to buy sunglasses and we pretended that we were asleep but then we found out that we had to pay to lay on the beds on the beach. That was pretty embarrasing but funny though. We decided to leave and check-out the Strip. It's a famous street which is named after the Strip in Las Vegas because of the big neon light boards at night. During day time you can't see much of it but at night it looks amazing!


The first night we went to a lounge bar which looked very Greek, very beautiful. There were live performances and we had some delicious cocktails. After that we went to check out the Strip which was so much fun!! I don't know if you have this anywhere else but you get free shots at every club/bar. There were also lots of English people in Albufeira who celebrated their bachelor party, which was really fun to watch because one time, we saw this group and everybody was dressed up like a superhero! The second night we went to old-town Albufeira with the Beachmasters and GoFun people. Every bar looked like the ones in new town Albufeira but in old-town you have more Dutch bars. The third night we went to the Dutch night which was in a Dutch bar, obviously. In the beginning they gave me a weird plastic bag, I thought it for when you needed to throw up haha but it was to protect your phone and camera against water if you'd go to see the dolphins the next day. I didn't like the Dutch music much but it was very nice because you got two drinks if you order one. The fourth night was the Cocktail Flirt party in the Slam Café which was also a fun night. The fifth night was actually the bar-hopping night at the Strip but we already went there every night so we decided to go to the beach, talked with some weird people haha and went back to the Strip. I'll spare you the rest of the week and details!

Another thing that we noticed was that we didn't had an air conditioning!! We thought we had one, but when my friend turned it on, there came a horrible musty smell and warm air out of it. After three days (don't ask me why) we went to the reception and asked what it was and the lady said it was a HEATER! Why the hell do you need a heater in Albufeira?! Only the new apartments have an AC so we got three fans. Secondly, we noticed that the door of the bathroom didn't close well and I saw it was because there was a hinge missing. We went to the reception, saying that we haven't broke it and so on. The lady said it was okay and she's going to send someone to fix it. But two days later we found a bill/letter on our table with €100,- on it so we thought it was a mistake or something. The day before we went back to Holland, we got a note saying we have to go to the reception. Finally there, we heard we had to pay €50,- for that stupid hinge which we didn't even break! After a big discussion, we paid €25,-..


Oh well, that didn't ruin our great and sunny holiday!! We have had a great time and Portugal is a beautiful country. The next time no apartment for me because we were both to lazy to cook haha. The way back home went quite smooth, except for the whole luggage problem. Hoped you enjoyed reading it because it's a lot. Oh and I didn't bring my SLR with me because I was scared that it would be stolen so I'm very sorry for the blurry pictures. Perhaps I should do a vlog or something the next time!

What I have learned:
1. Check your apartment before everything.
2. If you need to use the restroom, GO!
3. Buy a trolley.
4. Portugese man shave their legs.
5. Portugese police men feel like machos.
6. Most Portugese food is coming out of a tin.
7. In Portugal you have to throw your toilet paper in a trashcan. (Gross!)
8. Portugese people clean their part of sidewalk every morning.
9. Bring enough cash with you because nobody uses a money card in Albufeira.
10. You get free shots.

I was checking out some blogs and I bumped into this tag and I immediately thought I should do one too. So here it is! It's very simple, just look for (some) pictures on sites like Weheartit, Pinterest or Tumblr which are tagged with 'Before I die' and place them on your blog :-) Obviously, you pick the ones which are relevant and thus what you would like to do before you die. You can see that I really would want to travel around the world and visit places haha!


Please feel free to do this tag as well and leave a link of the blogpost behind in the comments :D

Hi everyone! Long time no see.. I haven't blogged in about a month so I thought it was time for an update. The last few months was all about school. I'm in my last year of HAVO and also had my final exams. I'm luckily to say that I PASSED! I'm graduated yay! So now I'm working my ass off because I have a three month holiday. But don't worry, I'm also going to relax. In about a week I'm going to Albufeira which is in Portugal. I haven't been in Portugal before so I'm really excited. I'm going with a good friend of mine so I can't wait to lay there on the beach and of course, partying haha!
I ordered some items for my holiday. As you can see, I really love aztec! I think it's great for this summer, can't wait to wear it :-). The neon top and aztec playsuit are from New Look, the shorts and golden sandals from H&M FAA, the cropped top with bare shoulders and camel bag from Forever 21. I still need some new bikinis and dresses but I going to Amsterdam this Friday so I hope I will find some nice ones. This is my little wishlist for this summer. I was a bit late with ordering stuff for the holiday so I hope that it won't be sold out as I come back from Portugal. The shorts with crochet details is from Topshop. The grey shorts with destroyed details is from Miss Selfridges. The oversized retro sunglasses, cute bikini with ruffles and ankle boots are from Asos. I can't wait to wear those boots with some nice shorts and bare tanned legs! Lastly, the neon necklace is from Zara. I also want some high low dresses and skirts (coral and beige/mauve) so if you know where you can buy it, please tell me!
