Beauty : products I use daily



I use the cleanser , tonic and cream of the 'Pure Nature' collection with lavender smell of Oriflame.
I really like these products. They smell good and are very nice to use.


After the cleanser and tonic and before the cream I use th energizing serumgel of HEMA.
I really enjoy using this one because the substance is how serum is supposed to be and this Dutch brand (Hema is a warehouse in Netherlands) is very affordable.

This eye-make up remove is from Yves Rocher and works just fine and is good to use.
No funny smell or whatever.

Song: Aan de Amsterdamse grachten- To the Amsterdam canals


Version 'Prinsengrachtconcert' by Eva Maria Westbroek
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taXWgfehXsE

Original song by Wim Sonneveld

Music/Lyrics by Peter Shott (Pieter W. Goemans)

Aan de Amsterdamse grachten
Heb ik heel mijn hart voor altijd verpand
Amsterdam vult mijn gedachten
Als de mooiste stad in ons land

Al die Amsterdamse mensen
Al die lichtjes 's avonds laat op het plein
Niemand kan zich beter wensen
Dan een Amsterdammer te zijn.

Er staat een huis op de gracht in oud Amsterdam
Waar ik als meisje/jochie van acht bij grootmoeder kwam
Nu zit er een vreemde meneer in het kamertje voor
En ook die heerlijke zolder werd tot kantoor.

Alleen de bomen dromen hoog boven 't verkeer
En over 't water gaat er een bootje net als weleer

To the Amsterdam canals
I lost all of my heart forever
Amsterdam fills my thoughts
As the most beautiful city of our country

All those Amsterdam people
All those lights late at night at the square
Nobody can wish better
Than to be an "Amsterdammer"

There is a house along a canal in old Amsterdam
Where I came to my grandmother as a little girl/boy of eight
Now there's a strange gentleman in the little room at the front
And also the glorious attic became an office

Only the trees are still dreaming, high above the traffic
And a little boat is floating on the water, just like in old times

Product review Tobi Steam wand

The Tobi Steam wand


Today I received the Tobi Steam wand. It's steam cleaner for clothes and furniture.
It's not that it works perfectly but maybe I also need to find the best way to use it. I am not dissatisfied though. Not at all. He wasn't very expensive, € 50. It does work a bit.

Overall, I am glad with this steamer, but I am going to save for a better one.

Fashion review Shape Briefs Tummy & Hip Shaping H&M

 
 
Today I have worn this Shape Briefs Tummy & Hip Shaping of H&M

Before

 
After
 
As you can see in the before and after pictures it does show a slight difference regarding the belly area. It’s not flat but you don’t have a bump anymore.
So at that point I am satisfied already.
Regarding wearing comfort I am very satisfied, it fits perfectly and it doesn’t’ hurt or isn’t too tight. At first you have to get used to the fact that something covers your belly which results in you tightening your belly, which is good. But after a while you get used to the feeling something covers your belly because it fits like a second skin.
 
I also do like the price of €9,95, it’s not expensive and it’s worth it.
Overall I am very pleased with this one!
I am very curious if you have any experience with this one or if you have brand which has good body control shapers.

Today it was very warm in the Netherlands, well, partly it was and some parts had less good weather.
Even though it was not sunny it was warm enough to wear a dress. Unfortunately the weather will be bad from tomorrow on! Hopefully the sun will beat his beams through the rain quite soon again!



Last years picture to show the dress completely, I also wore the same shoes today.
At this picture I still had a thick cheeck because of the wisdom tooth operation.
