Weih weih, my beloved camera broke down while I was in Curaçao. A new body costs a lot of money, so for now it'll just be iPhone pics I'm afraid… Let's take a look at what my second week looked like!

009 - 09/02 - beloved
after a looooooong flight, finally home and cuddling with the cats & bf


010 - 10/02 - me-time
jetlag. cute socks + flannel pj + cats + cuddles on the couch = perfect me-time


011 - 11/02 - hidden
technically, this isn't a picture i made that day. i felt horrible because my lips were sunburnt (= twice the size they normally are!) and it hurt so much. so here's a photo of me hiding my (awful & sore-looking) lips.



How did you do on week 2?

I hope everyone is doing well. Talk to you soon!

Recycle, recycle, recycle. Today I want to share with you this super easy & fast DIY that takes literally 10 minutes to do and instantly makes your earring collection pop.

So join in on the fun and make your own unique stud earring holder!


Things you'll need:

» piece of styrofoam (tiny leftovers from packaging will do)
» piece of fabric big enough to cover your styrofoam
» (fabric) scissors
» pins
» stud earrings (duh)


Let's get started!


1. Put your styrofoam onto your fabric and cut out a square piece of fabric, leaving 5-10cm at the sides. Optional, but not necessary: cut off the corners of your fabric (that way you don't have to pin through that many layers)


2. Lay your fabric right side up and put your styrofoam on top. Start tucking in the sides and pin them.


3. Poke in your stud earrings. & You're done! Now you can place/hang your brand new earring holder some place nice, et voilà.

4. I like mine the way it is, but you could also attach your fabric holder to a photo frame, like Eline did here.

See, wasn't this the easiest DIY ever?

Pssst!!! Don't use regular crafting glue (instead of pins) on styrofoam, since it will melt the styrofoam. (I learned from experience) Pins will really do the job just fine.

Do you have a nice way to show your jewelry?
Talk to you later!

I participated in Fab's Secret Penpal Scavenger Hunt again this year.

Today I want to share with you what I received from the lovely Andreia from Filateliaa. You can also check her out on instagram.

I decided to try out something I've never done before: make a little film! It turned out quite blurry and suuuuper unprofessional, but I'm still learning guys. Anyway, I received the most lovely gifts and feel blessed for having such an amazing secret penpal. Thank you so much Andreia.

ps. Excuse the cat paws from time to time. They were a bit curious as well!



Take care! Talk to you soon!
