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!

Pastel blue, light blue, baby blue, allemaal benamingen voor dezelfde kleur. Ik houd er in elk geval van! Nu de lente in zicht lijkt te komen (ein-de-lijk..), zie je steeds vaker lichte, pastel kleuren voorbijkomen. Met name blauw tinten vind ik erg mooi. De kleur is goed te combineren met mooie witte ripped jeans of juist met een stoere leren broek. Ik hoop binnenkort een leuk jasje of ketting te kunnen scoren in een mooi blauwe pastelkleur. En ooohh, ik ben echt verliefd op het blauwe Zara-jasje op de een na laatste foto.. Hij is echt perfect. Me wants! Wat vinden jullie van pastel blauw? ❤

Liefs, Cindy

Yesterday I was bored and hungry so I looked up on the internet for some cookies which was easy to make. I have made the most delicious cookies ever!! I made some M&M cookies, yummy! It's very simple to make and it only takes a few minutes. I think everyone has these ingredients at home so if you want some delicous M&M cookies.. It was so yummy that I forgot to make pictures of it haha! Here is what I have used:

The ingredients for 20/25 cookies:

175 grams of self-rising flour
125 grams of unsalted butter
100 grams of (dark) brown caster sugar
1 egg
50 grams of M&M's (or what you prefer)

1. Set your oven on 180 Celsius degrees. Make sure the unsalted butter is on room temperature. You can also melt it a little in the microwave. Mix the (melted) butter, brown sugar and the egg together untill it's smoothly mixed.

2. Pour the flour little by little in the bowl with your mixture of butter, sugar and the egg. You can use your hands if you want. I used a wooden spatula. I noticed my mixture was a little 'soft' and sticky so I have poured a little more flour to it.

3. If you have mixed it together and well, then you have to make little balls. Put them on your baking sheet. Take a big spoon and press on the balls to make them nice flat and round. Press your M&M's in it and it's ready for the oven!

4. Now comes the worst part. You have to wait 20 minutes :( but then you can enjoy your delicous homemade M&M cookies! Good luck! :D

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

The Hunger Games is an amazing book trilogy which I have read in 4 days. I know. When I like something, I become obsessed with it so I have to read on. After reading the books, I recommended it to all my friends but they seem not very enthousatic about it, but I don't blame them because I was once one of them. At first I thought it was like Twilight or Harry Potter and I have had an other picture in mind when I read the synopsis (I didn't like the idea of futurism). But The Hunger Games is much more than that! It's about sacrificing, love, friendship, betrayal, power, justice, war..

The Hunger Games is an event which is organized once a year by the Capitol. The Capitol is a place where people live in wealth while the Districts live in poverty. Like I have said, it's a story which takes place in the future, in North-America to be exactly. North-America is now Panem. A land which is separated in twelve Districts. Each district has its own 'thing'. Like coal, luxury goods or electricity. Each year one girl and one boy from every District must participate the Hunger Games. On the Reaping day, all the girls and boys have to stand in front of the Justice Hall. That's the moment where someone from the Capitol picks a name out of each bowl. The principal is Katniss, a 16 years old girl from District 12 (the poorest District). She lives with her sister Primrose and her mother near the forest where she illegal hunts for her family. Her father died in a mine so she has to take care of her sister and mother. When Prims name drops at the Reaping, Katniss steps forward to volunteer as tribute. From then, the adventure has begun. Katniss discovers how cruel the Capitol is but she discovers other (great) things as well.

I RECOMMEND this book to you all!! I have to learn to stop prejudice something because mostly it turns out great (like Vampire Diaries..). There is also a movie made from the first book which premieres on 21 March in the theatres in the Netherlands. I'm so excited!! I have high expectations as well haha. But I have no doubt that it will be a bad movie because the trailer of the movie and soundtrack list looks great! Birdy, Taylor Swift, The Civil Wars, The Secret Sisters and much more has written a song for the movie. Oh, when you have read the books, you should definitely listen to this song from Taylor Swift and the Civil Wars. It's called Safe & Sound. It decribes the book in a nutshell and you can place the song in various scenes in the first book.

What are your thoughts? Have you read the trilogy as well?
