Pile Of Books

Hi guys,

As you might know, or not, I love to read books. Unfortunately since I've been studying the amount of books I read in a year have decreased fast. When I was still in highschool/college (which in the Netherlands is from 12 untill you're 18 years old), I read about 8-10 books a year. Nowadays I'm lucky if I finish 4 books a year. But that aside I thought I'd give you all a little peak in my bookcollection. Keep in mind though that I'm still at my parents house so I unfortunately can't show how I store them normally. I also read a lot of Dutch books but I'll only conclude some books here that I know are available in English

Hunger Games Triology by Suzanne Collins 

Fifty Shades Triology by EL James (number I is missing because it's somewhere in a box waiting for my new house)

Harry Potter series by RK Rowling (Hardcovered dutch versions though)

The World According To Garp by John Irving (Dutch version)

In Lucia's Eyes by Arthur Japin
Unfortunately this book was missing, either it's in a box somewhere waiting for me to move or one of my sisters is reading it! I must admit though that this is my all time favorite book.

F*ck I'm In My Twenties by Emma Koenig (got it for my birthday and actually like it)

Those are a few of my most beloved books. Especially In Lucia's Eyes, I think I've read that book about five times already. I still need to finish Fifty Shades Freed though, I'm stuck at chapter one haha.

What do you suggest I should read? I've already got my eyes on the Divergent Triology, the Twilight Series and all the Mortal Instruments books. I'm curious to know what you like to read!

Love,
Renée

Newest Of Jackets

Meet my new love, my winter coat!
It's a Zara coat and it's soooo fluffy and warm and I love it!

I'm sorry for the bad quality of light but it has been pouring rain all day so I had to take the pictures inside and my camera just doesn't want to focus correctly. It has been strange eversince I got it back so I apologize for that.
Have you found your perfect warm winter coat?

What's In My Bag; One Night Away

Well goodday to you all!
How are you doing?
Today I'm going to give you guys a little sneak peak in my bag, and it's not just that. This is a What I Pack for just one night away edition. I'm off to Antwerp for a night with the boy and I might do a lot of shopping and sight seeing. This means however that I can't take a big bag full of stuff with me so I'm keeping it to a minimum. I'll show you what I've packed and what I'm planning on wearing during the trainjourney and stuff.

For cleaning my face I've got some cottonpads, my Garnier Essentials Cleanser/Tonic, my Nivea Cleansing Whipes Aqua Effect. I use Oral-B #D White Glamour as a toothpaste and my Dove deodorant.

For make-up I packed, my lashcurler, Catrice Cosmetics Prime and Fine, Rimmel's Glameyes liquid liner in black, my NYC kohl liner in 001, L'Oréal's Mega Volume Collagene 24h mascara in Black Smoke, Cacharel's Catch Me tryout perfume and some Rub Rub Rub from Lush.

My make-up Hello Kitty bag, toothbrush, daycreme from L'Oréal the Triple Active Daycreme and my sunnys from lipton icetea. 

My clothes for fridays, simple highwaisted red/purple jeans, a river island cropped shirt, a Bershka blouse and a scarf.

For Saturday I thought of something comfortable yet a little bit nice. Same jeans, cropped sweater from H&M and a scarf.

Sorry for the quality of the pictures guys, but since I'm still between exams I wasn't able to take these before it went dark. Hope you still liked it! I'm not taking that much stuff because I'm only taking a tiny backpack with me since we will be taking this everywhere with us on Saturdays and it's only for one night.
If you have any tips on where to go in Antwerp please let us know, because the boy doesn't want to spend the whole of Saturday going crazy in shops, unfortunately haha!

Love,
Renée

What I Eat

Hellooo guys,

Today is a first, yet again, for me.
Since I'm trying to eat a little bit more healthy, even though I've got my girlproblems right now, and thought I'd share my tips and stuff with you guys. I parted this post in Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Snacks. Unfortunately since I live at home for the time being I can't make my own dinner which kind of sucks. I love my mom's and the boy's mom's food but it's nice to choose what you want to eat yourself.

Breakfast

For breakfast I normally have a slice of brown bread with chocolate of fruit sprinkles on top. With that I'll have two crackers of some kind with either cheese and meat or jam. I'll sometimes eat yogurt with muesli or something like that but usually my breakfast looks somewhat like the picture.

Together with my jummy breakfast I´ll always, unless I need to be at school at 9am, have a cup of tea with milk. I love Earl Grey, Lady Grey and Green Tea. It's my way of waking up since I really don't like coffee. I had a little bit more time this day so when I do have a little chilled out breakfast I'll also have a glass of juice.

I do need to sometimes make myself eat all of my breakfast but however I feel like when you eat a good and nutricious breakfast you'll have a less craving for food the rest of the day. 

Lunch

Since I was at home studying all day I had more time to lunch. Normally on a regular school day I'll just have the Sultana cookies or a bar of some sort and one or two pieces of fruit. However when I have more time to lunch I'll usually make some yogurt or salad or something jummy like that. 

This is my nice Blond dessertbowl. I had some pear and cinnamon yogurt with some chunky muesli on top. Because I do want to spoil myself sometimes, and it was that time of month, I had some milkchocolate on top. 

For lunch on a schoolday I'd go pretty light but most of the time I come back just before dinner. However if I'm back long before dinner I'd make myself a cracker or something tiny.

Dinner

I cheated a little because I forgot to take a picture on the same day as the others so I took a picture yesterday when the boy and I went for sushi. I ♥ sushi nomnomnom

Normally I'd make myself dinner when I was living on my own. However since I now live with my parents I'll have to keep up with their schedule on eating. I do eat either pasta, rice or potatoes with some vegetables and something vegetarian. I'm not a vegan but I rather eat something vegetarian or fish than eating meat.

Snacks
For snacks I usually eat a piece of fruit. I'm not that much of a snacker. However if I do take a snack I make sure it's pretty healthy. So I'd take some fruit, make a smoothy, eat a cracker with something, make a little salad or take a healthy cookie option such as the new Sultana Coconut! I love me some coconut nom!!
But I'm a girl, so I love a piece of chocolate, usually milk, or nice cookies every now and then. And that's healthy too!

I hope you liked this and I'd love to know all the things you like or love to eat and what you do to eat a little bit healthy, and ofcourse what you eat when you do cheat a little!
So what do you eat to keep yourself healthy, or cheat a little?

Love,
Renée
