As I mentioned in a previous post, I participated in the 100 things summer challenge, organized by Jelle and a few other bloggers. The idea was to get rid of 100 things during summer. And I have to say, I did quite well!

If you want to easily succeed these kinds of projects: move out/in! It's perfect.

In total I got rid of 211 things, I gave away 118 and sold 72 items. (Well, not yet, they're still in boxes, ready to be given away to the thrift store & ready to be sold in a closet/yard sale or flea market!) The other stuff was thrown away because it was broken or expired. Most of the things I'm going to sell is clothing. But I'm kind of an awful hoarder. I also threw out SO much paper and fabric scraps.
I bought/received as a gift 16 items over these past two months.

That makes a total of 195 things less!

I'm pretty proud of myself and think I'm going to keep going in Autumn, Winter and Spring. Maybe 100 things less is a bit too much, but I'll at least think about my consumption a lot more.

Have you participated as well? And if you did: how do you feel now? Do you feel sort of liberated of all this stuff as well? There was so much that I didn't really need of which I'm so happy that I just threw it out :)

Rust in mijn hoofd. Heerlijk.

P.S. I'm currently on a holiday, so this is a planned post. I will not be answerring any comments or e-mails until I'm back (around September 8)

Talk to you soon!

Today I'm here with a little reminder for you guys: tomorrow is September 1st, which means the September Photo Challenge will start!

If you haven't decided yet if you want to participate or not, now is your chance. If you're afraid you won't finish: don't be! Every participater will inspire and remind you that you have to take your 1 picture a day. (Of course you don't have to, but since this is a part of my Project 365, it is an obligation to me ;-) ) You can enter here.

Here you can see the themes once again. Don't forget to have fun and I'll talk to you soon



- as soon as I'm back from Turkey, that is. The bf and I booked our trip yesterday(!) Since that's very last minute, I don't have that many posts planned in for you, but I do have some! I'll be back somewhere around September 8th, with many photos that will make you super jealous and hopefully I'll have a bit of a tan (but I doubt it) 

Anyway, I won't be answerring any letters or e-mails for a week. Total and utter offline relaxation, yes please.

Ever since I saw this DIY on Mangelmoes, I was sold. I knew I hád to try this out as well.

So I did exactly what she stated and ta-dah:


Unfortunately I have to do the dishes every day, and since washi tape isn't that sturdy, it began peeling off because of the hot water. Too bad, but still a superfun DIY for when you're bored of your plain nails! Thank you for the inspiration, Hanne!
Talk to you soon!
