Fog

Yesterday there was tons of fog the whole day. I was at my parents and really wanted to go outside and take some pictures, but had some family obligations. Fortunately, I got out just in time to take a few pictures in the forest. Ah, how I love fog, it always makes pretty pictures! It reminded me of last year, around the same time as now (actually, it was also almost the same date, with only 3 days in between!) where it was really foggy as well and I took really nice pictures. So I hopped on my bike and rode to the forest! Here are some pictures of yesterday. And yeah, lots of selfies again, sorry.

My hair has been fading a lot lately, it looks awful! I’m dying it right now with henna, so that’s why I’m probably making this post: out of boredom, haha! I also might going to make a henna post soon! You know, a ‘how to’ post..

And last but definitely not least: meet my future husband! I know, he’s very attractive. Also a bit quiet, but I like that, so much easier!

Some random stuff

-Today my new lens arrived, the picture above is taken with it! I love it so much, it’s so amazing. I love how sharp and crisp it is and aah, the bokeh! How I love bokeh! It’s a Sigma 30mm 1.4 and it’s wonderful. Most of the time I used a (canon) 50mm 1.8, but because my DSLR has a cropfactor, the 50mm became more like 80mm (or whatever), so that’s really annoying. This one is specially designed for DSLRs with a cropfactor, it’s such a relief! Now I never have to lean back and all that jazz, plus it’s 1.4 instead of 1.8! Total win/win situation ;) This weekend I’m going to my parents to celebrate my mother’s & brother’s birthday AND my graduation, so I’ll be sure to take a lot of pictures then! Lately I’ve been only taking selfportraits and after a while it gets boring to only post selfportraits.. But alas, this post is all about selfportraits.. AGAIN. I’m sorry! It’s the only thing I have to do everyday, for my 365 days project. I swear I’m not a huge narcissist haha!
- Today I found a library book back by accident! I had lost it 2 months ago and was expecting a bill for a new book every second.. so I ran to the library and handed it in. I only had to pay 3 euro! When I got home today after work I found the bill on my doormat: 20 euro! So glad I’ve found it, just saved myself 17 euro ;) I know, that was random and uninteresting haha.
- I’m thinking about making a ‘to do’ post about henna soon. I need to redo my hair and people always ask me tons of questions about it, so I might as well make a post about it that everybody can read.. and that I always can link to when someone asks me a question about it! I know there’s tons of information about it already, but it will ofcourse include pictures and useful tips, you know? :)
- How can I make this blog more ‘popular’ or better known? HOW? Tips are very much welcome ;) I’d love to get more comments :(

This picture is kinda odd but I really like it. Anyway, I won this beautiful necklace at a contest held by one of my internetfriends, Bianca! Be sure to check her Etsy shop, she has lots of lovely things.

This is yesterday’s picture of my 365 project, I only photoshopped the colours! Somehow I really like it, although it annoys me that my face isn’t sharp, but whatever! There was glitter EVERYWHERE. When I brushed my hair today, there was still glitter coming out! Even my MacBook has glitter on it, it’s ridiculous.

The mess afterwards :P

And the last one: a really, really old one which I still love. Yes, that’s me and yes I have really really long black hair. I have to admit that those were extensions though, but compared to my hair now, it was still very long! I took this picture about.. 3 years ago. Time goes fast!

P.S. I know, I use to many !!! in my posts, I just can’t help it.
P.P.S. Yes, my English isn’t perfect, it’s not my native language. PLEASE BEAR WITH ME YOU GUYS! :P

Hairspiration!

I should be posting more here, but I don’t really know which direction I want to go with this blog. I think I’ll just make it a bit of a mash up, with lots of eyecandy (that’s always a must, I promise!)
Anyway, lately I haven’t been doing anything useful, besides working at Subway (yes, besides an illustrator/artist, I’m now also a ‘sandwich artist’! I kid you not, my contract actually says that!). I’ve been busy with my 365 days project, which is going well! You can follow my project on my Flickr! I have no inspiration for today though… mmm..
Further than that I’ve been doing.. well.. nothing actually. I’m enjoying my free time while watching my favourite tv shows like Ugly Betty & Gossip Girl! I think I’m getting bored of this very soon! I want to open an Etsy store soon, still have to figure out what to sell! I think prints of my pictures and illustrations. I’m also getting ill, I feel so shitty the past few days! Everything hurts, my head feels like it’s going to explode! So, I’m just going to sit in bed with a cup of honey tea and watch my favourite tv shows after this post :)

I haven’t taken much pictures yet and since I don’t want to post too much pictures of myself, here are some of my hairspiration pictures! I desperately want to grow my hair out so I have a folder called “hairspiration”, here are few pictures out of it!
I have no idea where these pictures are from, besides the first, which is the ever so lovely Elin! If one of these is your picture and want me to remove it/credit you, please tell me! :)

braids <3 <3 <3

(Is this Twiggy? She looks like it :P)

And this is me:

Yup, I have a LONG way to go! Sigh :(

Also, for my graduation my parents are giving me the Sigma 30mm 1.4 eeeeeeh! It’s hopefully arriving tomorrow, so psyched :D I can’t believe my parents are giving me such an expensive gift!! I almost feel guilty :x And spoiled, definitely!

Here is a screencap of the movie “Bright Star”, which I really want to see. It looks so, soo, sooo pretty! I love the cinematography <3
