Mini Quilt
Besides Make-up and tattoos, another love of mine are textiles!

Cheesecake
Friday it was so boring at work I was searching the web for recipes since i like to bake. My colleague and I ware emailing about ice cream (she sits almost next to me but email is fun!) and i had bought ben and jerry strawberry cheescake icecream so i wanted to make cheesecake.
The best cheesecake I have ever eaten was the one at the othersidecafe in Boston (they have a lot of nice food and its a cool hangout)
But hey I can bake.
So I started, I have never done it before so a challenge it was.
The entire kitchen was a mess.
and stupid as i was I decided to make my own variation with white chocolade.
It turned out well but.. it was sooo sweet, because the recipe i had did not involve chocolate so it was dubble so sweet cause i used the same amount of sugar.
The only one who loved it was my mum.

Help me with my taxes
Oh god, I'm a girl who push things aside, I do it tomorrow and when it is tomorrow i do it again tomorrow. I know if i do it today its finished and im rid of it but noo i set things aside.
Also with my taxes. Me and my mum would do it last week but we didnt, dunno the reason prob something silly. So now my father did his and my mums and I still have to do it.
Don't know in other countries but here in the nethes you have to do it before april first. so in my case before wednesday. today is the only day I have the time and I have never done it before!!

MAC Haul and Eva bday
Mondays is my day off from work so i have a nice 3 day weekend, and it happend to be my dear friend Eva's birthday
so i decided to take the train instead the car so i can drink some wine. I also took the train an hour early because I wanted to go to the mac counter to buy some make-up. In the neths there are only 4 mac stores/counter al spread out over the country and im a mac fanatic. so offcourse i bought to much. its so expensive but soooo nice.
I bought a white eyepensil 2 eye shadows, a beautiful nude lipstick and a concealer brush
I expected to have a real heavy bag after paying cause the price was so high offcourse but no light as a feather haha.
I cant wait to go to the pro stores (amsterdam and antwerp) to get a pallet. the eyeshadows in the pallet are 11,50 each and normal eyeshadows are 15 euro!
after my haul i went to the restaurant where i met eva and 14 of her friend (some also friends of mine)
and it was a lovely evening, after that we went with a small group to the irish pud cause that happened to be the only bar open on a mondaynight.
lame as i am had to get the train back so i took the 11:23 pm back and was home at 12:05pm. next day (2day) waking up was brutal.
I'm only 24 years old but sometimes i feel like an old lady

Foreign Food
lately I have been craving for food that just doesn't exist here in the neths.
Last year I have lives for 6 months in the usa as a foreign exchange student and it was the best!
Although I'm so happy to be back in the neths I still miss some stuff and especially some food
I have spend the last 2 hours online searching for webshops who sells american and british food.
Not only they don't have the things I want (risk bits) but other stuff is sooo damn expensive like nature valley oats and honey bars I crave for them but they sell them for 90 euro cent a piece! a piece! unbelievable, also mountain dew my favorite frizzy drink they only sell them at subway and cost 2 euro's a can!
And since I visited my dear friends in Scotland UK I can't get the though of scones and crumpets out of my head. I have tried to make scones myself and they turned out hard like rocks (my dad still ate them)
Now I'm making crumpets for the first time and I hope they turn out yummie.
update they were indeed quite yummie
Welcome
Hi folks
Just happened to be a really nice saturday afternoon at 5:35 pm and I'm bored.
So what do bored people do?
They start a blog because boring people has such fabulous lives they wanna blog about!
No but seriously starting a blog is quite fun.
I used to have a blog of my exchange programm in Boston wich was called violainboston.blogspot.com and its nice to see it back.
Also my no 1 reader and my only reader enjoyed it she said.
Since I'm such a basketcase (my friends calles it quirky) and my head full of stuff a blog is a nice way to express myself (god this sounds arty)
Anyway welcome and enjoy!
