New Harry Potter movies?

Okay, this is big news, like giant news! I assume you have already read it somewhere but for those who haven't: J.K. Rowling announced that she is going to write her first movie series. The story will start in New York, 70 years before our hero Harry was born. That means it won't exactly be a 'Harry Potter' movie but it will be familiar.

If you are not a Harry Potter fan: I respect you, but we won't become friends.
If you are: you're probably interested in what I am about to write down.

I have been a huge Harry Potter fan for years. My dad and I used to watch at least one of the movies every sunday because we loved it so much! I think I saw every part of the series at least 20 times and I am not exaggerating. Because of this, you might understand why I was over the moon when I got wristbands for the world premiere of the very last HP movie ever in London!

What? You've been to the world premiere? Yesss. Two years ago my parents and I went on a family trip to London and like every person who visits London for the first time, we went sightseeing. And where do you go besides London Eye and BigBen? Indeed, Trafalgar Square. When we arrived there it was madness. There were people camping out and there were construction climbers everywhere. We had no clue what was going on but as soon as we walked up to the crowd it became clear. It was the Harry Potter premiere and the moment I realised that, I walked up to one of the guys who were giving out wristbands and I kind of ripped three of them out of his hands, not on purpose, but I was over excited.... 

Sooo that was it, we had wristbands which gave us entrance to the premiere the next day. I was over the moon, I just couldn't believe it!! And it was one of the best days of my life. I have always had a weakness for celebrities and of course for Harry Potter so being able to see them in reallife was overwhelming. Beside the whole HP cast (aaaah) I saw super nanny, The Wanted, Darren Criss and many many more. 

My highlight was my (almost) picture with James or Oliver Phelps, also known as Fred and George Weasley. I am a Harry Potter fan but I wouldn't call myself a potterhead so don't blame me for not knowing who is who. I was soooo close to getting a picture, I already handed my camera to a random boy next to me and I was bending towards Oliver (or James) and he was bending towards me to take the picture when............ the 'management' lady pulled him away and told him it was time to go... He did say sorry to me but I still don't understand why she wouldn't let him finish taking the picture... I do have pretty close pictures of them which you can see down below!

Well, that was my story so far. I hope you're as excited as I am for te new series and I hope you didn't fall asleep during my ramble, ciao! x

School essentials; what's in my bag?

Hii there! It's been a while since my last blogpost but that's only because I have been really busy the last couple of weeks! School started and since I am going to a new school in a whole new town it has been quite the change... Instead of my usual 5 minute trip to school,  I now have to travel over 2 hours to get there by bicycle, bus, train and foot. A-ma-zing! But it's worth it so I shouldn't complain.

Since I have to travel so much you might understand my bag is pretty packed! And because I love reading / watching 'what's in my bags' a lot, I thought I would give it a try! If you have read my previous blogpost you already know what my favourite bag is. For those who haven't, it's the CeCe bag in black and I got it from www.modemusthaves.com.

Let's start with my e-reader. I can't imagine not having something to read on the train and carrying books everyday is a little bit too heavy so this is the perfect solution! Mine is from Kobo but I think any brand will work.

Next, my deodorant from Vogue girl and my body mist spray from 'de Tuinen' which is a dutch brand. Personally I think every girl should have a deodorant in her bag but in the summer times a body mist can be very useful too. For the people who have never heard of it before: it's a water based perfume which you can spray all over your body ( I use it on my arms and in my neck) and it's really refreshing! They come in different aroma's but I love my bamboo mist the most!

Now my school supplies. I have the cutest little notebooks ever, I got them from Action, a dutch bargain shop for 1 euro each. I have a cute diary from Hema, a dutch warehouse and I have one pencil that I found somewhere in our house.

When it comes to food it varies from day to day. I am not a big fan of bread so it is muesli or rice bars most of the time. Drinks on the other hand aren't so vary. I don't like a lot of drinks so I stick to my favourite drink in the world; WATER. And when I am extremely thirsty I buy an ice cold Sprite at the train station because it's too delicious.

Last but not least, my four most essential things; my purse, my hairbrush, my headphones and my little make-up bag to fix my make-up throughout the day. My purse is from Primark, I really love the way it looks but the zipper never worked very well so it's not the best...
I don't remember where I got my hairbrush from but that's something I ALWAYS take with me because my hair is really straight so it gets fluffy very easily. I don't think my apple headphones need an explanation, do they?

And finally my little make up bag! Unfortunately I am not one of those girls whose makeup stays perfect all day so I need to touch up every now and then. For blackness under my eyes I use my colorstay concealer by Revlon. For shiny skin I use my Rimmel London Stay Matte powder and it works brilliant! I apply mine with a brush but you can use a pad if that's easier for you. My very last product is my Vaseline lipbalm with a red color in it. I love vasline lipbalms because they keep your lips moisturized and mine has a pretty gloss in it that gives a fresh look!

I'm sorry for the horrible quality, I took this picture with my phone because my camera is nowhere to be found..
