The Wonderful World of Fifi Lapin

hey :)
I wanted to review this cute little fashion book today. So, it’s about a “fashion bunny”; Fifi Lapin. Well, it’s not about her, actually. It’s written by her. Not really, of course. But the real author is unknown. You might know Fifi Lapin from “her” blog: www.fifi-lapin.blogspot.com. But about the book: it’s a cute book with style tips from Fifi Lapin. There are a few chapters; one for every day.

This is the beginning of the chapter “Thursday - Fashion Forward”.

There are also a few pages like this in the book; some quick style tips with cute drawings (again). But though it’s mostly about fashion, there is also a recipe for carrot cupcakes, a tutorial on how to make your own face mask,
something about colorful makeup, tips on how to pose for the camera and more :)
This is about fashion, but I just wanted to mention that there are also some interviews with designers like Anna Sui in it :)

This page is cute, isn’t it?

Let’s get on to my opinion about the book!
I think I made it clear that I think it’s very very cute. I also love the idea of a “stylish bunny”. A fashion bunny doesn’t make any sense, but what I like about it is that it’s not so standard. It’s a creative and original idea. I also love the idea of a chapter a day. And that it’s not only about fashion; that there are recipes (for example) inside too.

To my opinion it’s just a cute (I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned “cute” so many times in one blogpost :)) inspirational book, which is nice to have. It is a little expensive though: $14,95.

hi guys :)
I’m personally having a very busy time at the moment, and because I think a lot of you guys are having a busy time too, with Christmas and everything, I wanted to do a post about “relaxation”. That word sounds weird, I know. I just mean taking some time for yourself to let it all out. “Let it go!”, like Elsa would say.

You don’t need much time to just let go of your worries and relax. I’ll give you some ways to relax, even if you’ve only got 5 minutes.

5 minutes of spare time
- You can’t let your worries and “things to do” go if you don’t write them down. So, write down everything that’s on your mind, and don’t think about them in these five minutes.
- Listen to music. With headphones or earbuds, because only then you can fully focus on the music. Let the lyrics of your favorite song be all you think about.
- You can also sit in full silence, close your eyes, and try not to think at all. Make sure you don’t move! Have your full attention by your breath. Maybe it’s easier if you imagine being Buddha :)

10 minutes of spare time
- Take a shower, and feel how the water takes every worry away from you. At least, that’s what it’s supposed to do :)

30 minutes of spare time
- Draw or read. You can do that in 5/10 minutes too, but then it’s a bit frustrating that you have to get back to work so soon, and you can’t even finish your drawing or the chapter of the book you’re reading. And I’m pretty sure you can in 30 minutes :)
- Watch a TV-series with episodes of 20 minutes. I recommend New Girl and Modern Family :)

60 minutes of spare time
- For me, the ultimate relax-thing to do is to watch Gossip Girl. Even better when you’re wearing sweatpants and an XL sweater.
- Bake cookies or something. The smell of homemade cookies makes everyone happy right? :)

Okay, so that was it for this blogpost! hope you liked it :)

no-sugar challenge!

First of all: I’m so sorry I only posted once last week! It was Sunday evening, and already late, so my parents sent me to bed before I could write every post I wanted to write :(
Anyways, I’m gonna make it up to you guys: today I’ll post two posts (the ones that should’ve been published yesterday) and I’ll also post three posts at the end of this week. Okay, actually that’s just what you’d usually get.. I’ll try to post one extra, but I’m sure if I’m going to manage to do that…

Now let’s go on to what this post actually is about: the no-sugar challenge! I did (and finished!) the no-sugar challenge. In this challenge you’re not allowed to eat any refined sugars for a week. It’s very healthy and I was also just curious how it’d be without them. Well, I can tell you; it’s hard! I really noticed how much refined sugars you usually eat.
A few examples:
- when I get home, I usually eat a cookie and drink tea, or something like that. During the challenge, I ate a banana (or an apple, or a mandarin or whatever :)).
- I usually have bread for breakfast, but in some kinds of bread there’s sugar. So I ate yoghurt. The bread I eat, though, is sugar free. I read that on the Internet a few days after I started.
- That week, we went on a school trip (twice!). In the bus, everyone was eating candy. And I was just sitting there with my oats… :(

So, it was hard, but I succeeded!
I even kind of “enjoyed” the challenge. Not really, it was horrible, but it was fun trying to find sweet replacements on the Internet. If you’re Dutch, and going to try this challenge, you should really check out this blog: www.blijzondersuiker.nl

Let me know if you’re going to try the challenge!

Hey!
I know I have to explain why I didn’t write a blogpost all week. So here’s
my very very short explanation: I had a test week, so I had to learn a lot of boring stuff like why a car is able to drive and about the cells of an animal and stuff like that. Also a lot of French words. I really hate school.
But, there is an upside! Because it’s the summer holiday (yes!!) I can buy and pimp my school stuff for next year. So, I did (see the picture above). And I wanted to give you guys some inspiration for how to pimp your school stuff for next year, that’s why I decided to write a blogpost about it :)
So, here’s how I did it:
1. I spent a long time behind my computer (well, actually it’s my parents’ computer, but yeah I don’t care) searching for the coolest pics on We Heart It.
2. I all put them into a document on Pages and then printed it.
3. Then I pasted them to my agenda and other school stuff. I used some glue and also some cute tape.

Doesn’t it look cool? I was really happy with the result :)
Hope you also like it, let me know!

By the way; I am really sorry about the bad quality of the pictures… 

Today I’ll give you 5 study-tips.
1. Always leave your phone on silent! You don’t want to lose your concentration because of an iMessage.
2. Make a deal with yourself: if you’ve done your homework, or your studying, you’ll allow yourself to eat an extra cookie or whatever.
3. Study alone. Studying with a friend may seem nice, which it is, but you won’t be able to work very hard, because your friend will probably distract you, even if she doesn’t want to.
4. Drink lots of water. I heard it’ll improve your concentration.
5. Write down the things you don’t get, or the words you can’t remember. You can look at it again after like (half an) hour, it’ll help sometimes.

Good luck!
