The man who forgets to be thankful has fallen asleep in life

Heyyy guys,

Everyday I say to myself that I should clean up my room, so I can take some pics of it. But the mess only gets 

worse everyday. I'm so lazy! I'm REALLY gonna tidy it up today and do the laundry and the dishes and clean the bathroom and go to the gym. Only thing I'm really sure of doing is going to the gym, since that's the only thing I enjoy doing. 

But the relief and joy that I get after cleaning all of this mess up, will surely make my day better as well. Maybe I should hang up some sort of to-do-list on my door, or my laptop even. That way I can't possibly forget. 

Yes.

That's what I'll do.

Enjoy your day!

Love,

Loes

 Hello!

It has been a busy, but fulfilling week for me. The new semester started at university and I moved to my new room. And last Friday I went to a make-up workshop with a few friends and it was so much fun! The make-up artist showed how to do the make-up on our own faces, on one eye. We had to do the other eye ourselves, which led to screams like 'OMG, what have I done?' and 'HELP!'. In the end it all turned out good and we all had a separate photo-shoot and some pictures of us all together. This week I will show those pictures of course. And pictures of my new room as well! I really love it, I think it's the prettiest room I've ever had :)

But first, what I looked like today:

 And the boyfriend ;)

Upside down Eric!

Have a nice week!

Love,

Hello :)

I tried to find the English definition of  'hospiteren', but the word doesn't seem to exist... My brother (who's back to the USA now) told me that in America it's not a big deal to get a house as a student. When we tells his colleagues that I found room in Utrecht, they're all 'okay, so?', while here in Holland we're almost congratulating each other on having our own place. So I guess 'hospiteren' doesn't even exist over there! 

For the non-Dutch readers, I'll try to explain what it is. When a student needs a room, he'll look for one on the internet and leave a message on an advertisement. He might be invited to come over and meet the roommates (that's what 'hospiteren' is), but average amount of people that get invited is about 20. So even when he gets invited, he's only got a chance of 1/20 of actually getting the room. 

Tonight I've got two of those 'hospiteer'-nights. Please wish me luck. I really really want a new room, otherwise I'll have to move back into my parents' house!

(these are my new shorts btw! :)

Love,

Loes
