Instalife

I'm using Instagram for a while now but lately I'm having much more fun with it! It's such a nice way to capture nice little moments in life. It's like a visual diary & when you look back you think about those nice moments again! I would like to share some pictures I shot at home these past few weeks. If you like, you can follow me on Instagram here. I wish you all an awesome week!

April & May Pop-up Shop

Yesterday I went to Alkmaar to visit the April & May Pop-up Shop! It was a lovely sunny day and it was the first time in Alkmaar for me, what a great place! The April & May shop was the icing on the cake... It is such a strong concept & these girls really have a unique sense of style. It was great to see these beautiful products in real life. I had a fun day together with my man and we will definitely visit Alkmaar more often! Let's hope there will be an actual April & May shop one day...

A Little Stool Make Over

I had this old little stool for a while but I never really knew what to do with it! Last week I bought a piece of fabric at Ikea and I instantly knew what to do with the stool! I love the pattern on this Ikea fabric and luckily I had some fabric left to make a pillow case out of it as well. It really brightens up my bedroom! I hope you're having a great weekend... In Holland the sun is finally here so let's enjoy this lovely day!

Detox

As I told you earlier, I'm having a "detox" week which ended yesterday. It is a pretty simple treatment I think anyone can do! If you're curious, here's what to do:


Drink 1 Liter of cloudy apple juice for 5 days, one liter each day. You can just continue eating like you always do. At day 6 you'll start with a breakfast of non fat yoghurt & fruit. For lunch you can have some vegetables with rice. From 2 pm, you'll stay sober. You can have tea or water as much as you like. 



At 4 pm you'll make a drink of 400 ml of water, the juice of one lemon & 60 grams of Epsom
salts (in Dutch: Bitterzout of Engelszout) and you put it in the fridge. Drink 100 ml at 6 pm & then at 8 pm. After each drink you'll take a glass of water. At 10 pm, make a drink out of 100 ml of olive oil & the juice of one grapefruit and drink up! Lay down for 20 minutes with a hot water bottle for your belly & then go to sleep. 


In the morning, at 7 am you'll take 100 ml of the first drink & again at 8 am. Now you're done and at 10 am you can start eating (fruits etc). This treatment is especially good for cleaning your gall bladder. My advice is to stay home when you're at the end of the detox treatment, you can get a little sick. But this is only for one day so personally I could live with that. Off course this is just one of many ways to detox your body but this was the first one for me so I wanted to let you know how I did it! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Mini DIY

A while ago I bought this pink vest at the thrift shop. It's not really my style but I love the colour & texture so I made a little pillow case out of it! The poster was a gift in the latest Flow issue (love this magazine!!). The chair I got from a sweet friend... Thanks Ineke! I hope you are having a good & relaxing weekend? I had a girls night out which I'm still recovering from ;) This week I will start with a detox treatment which I tell you more about later. Nothing serious though, just trying to be healthy (aren't we all)!

A Happy Home

When we first moved into this home I was in a little bit of a hurry getting everything finished. I picked out some nice wallpaper & was pretty happy with the improvement of some of the rooms (from all kinds of strange colours to a lot of white!). But you know the drill... Once you start blogging & pinning you'll probably want to change it al over again! The same goes for me and a few weeks ago I decided it was time to give our guest room a little make over! I removed the wallpaper, added even more white and made some new pillow covers with the blankets my mom collected for me. I love the combination of the white & the bright colours... I think this room is ready for a sleep-over!
