Hi guys!
I'd like to invite you to my new blog! That sounds a bit strange, since you are on my blog now, but please let me explain. I really wanted to start blogging more often, but Blogger.com didn't really work for me anymore. So unfortunately, I won't be posting on this site anymore. I have created a new blog, the link is right here!
I do want to keep the blog posts on here, for myself, because some of them mean a lot to me. That's why I'm not going to delete this blog, because I'm sure I'll regret it later. I still think it's very special that so many people saw my post about Alopecia and it means the world to me! I don't want these things to be erased.
So if you'd like to go on this new journey with me, check out my new blog. I've got many things planned and it really feels like a fresh new start. I can't wait!
I want to say thank you, to all the people who ever took a look at my blog, it really means a lot to me. I hope I'll see you all on my new website!
Love, Elisa

Hi guys!
Hi guys!
I'm so sorry I haven't blogged for such a long time, but I just wanted to enjoy my holiday and have the best summer ever (which I had!), but now I'm back. I was just enjoying one of my Sunday pamper nights and suddenly I got inspiration to write a blog post. Oh and I'm writing this on my new laptop, it feels good!
Change has never been a friend of mine. I just like to keep things the way they are, without too much fuss. Maybe that's why I always seem to cry on New year's eve, or why I had a mental breakdown after finishing the last episode of Gossip Girl, because now I had to find another tv series to watch. Change is scary, because it means that something new will come instead. In most cases, that 'new thing' is something you've never experienced before and I think that's where I go wrong. I like to be in control of everything, it's just a part of me. And since I can't control the big change that's coming in my life very soon, my anxiety has been awful lately.
Remember when I graduated from secondary school 3 months ago? Man, I can't believe how excited I was, because I didn't have to go back to my old school ever again. I would start a complete new life somewhere else, how cool! Now summer is almost over and that new life is starting soon. Actually, it's starting tomorrow. I wish I was as excited as 3 months ago, but unfortunately, I'm not. I'd rather go back to my old school where I spent 5 amazing years of my life with my best friends.
Obviously, that's not possible. Tomorrow morning at 9.30 AM, I will appear at my new school in my new clothes with my new backpack. I will make new friends and see new places. I will learn new things and make new memories. It seems like the scariest thing ever right now, but I'm sure I'll love it. Once I'm in control of my new life, I will enjoy it. I just have to have a little faith in myself.
Love, Elisa

I did it
Hi guys!
You may or may not believe it, but I did it.After 5 years of spending my time on subjects like geography, maths and history, I did it. After 5 years of 'relationships' with boys who hadn't even hit puberty yet, crying from laughter with my best friends in class and making silly jokes about the teachers, I did it. I graduated from high school and I still can't believe it myself.
I finished my exams on May 29th and I was convinced that I failed. I felt like everything was so difficult, even though I revised A LOT. It sucked, because I have a great fear of failure and this didn't make things easier for me. I had already accepted the fact that I would have to stay in high school for one more year. I would make new friends, go on all the field trips again and cycle the same route every single day, again..
But then, a miracle happened. On June 11th, I got the phone call. I was incredibly nervous as you can imagine! We were all sitting around the telephone waiting for THE call. When I heard that my best friend Maaike had graduated, I started to cry and from then on, I cried several times. When the phone rang, I picked it up with trembling hands. Then, the unexpected happened. My teacher said that I had passed all my exams and that I had graduated. I started crying and it took me a while until I finally stopped haha! I finished another phase in my life and it feels so surreal.
Of course my parents then hurried to the shop and they got me cake, balloons and presents. Some family members and friends came over and it was one of the best days in my life. Luckily, almost all of my friends have graduated and I'm so proud of everyone! The whole week has been crazy and I feel so blessed.
High school hasn't always been easy for me but I'm definitely going to miss it. I'm so grateful for all the memories and friends I have now and I wouldn't know what to do without them. I'm going to nursery school after the summer and I'm so excited to do something that interests me. I'm also really excited for a new start. I can now blog and make videos without people judging me, because who cares at such a big school? I can finally be myself now and it feels soooo good!
To everyone who have graduated as well, congratulations, I'm so proud of you!
Love, Elisa
PS. I hope this post explains why there wasn't a blog post on Wednesday. I hope you understand that everything was a bit hectic!

THANK YOU
Hi guys!
I usually don't post on a Tuesday but I really feel the need to write something right now. Today I made the decision to finally put something about my Alopecia on Facebook. At first, I was so scared because I didn't want it to look like I'm seeking for attention, but the bald patch got bigger, and I didn't want to have any secrets anymore. I've had some real struggles with covering the patch last week and it really started to bother me. I didn't want it to look like I'm keeping a secret, I just wanted to be honest with my friends and family. Soooo I put it up on Facebook.
As soon as I pushed the 'send' button, likes and comments started flowing in my inbox. The number of views on my blog got higher and higher. My phone was about to crash when I decided to go out for a bike ride. Everything was very overwhelming and I didn't really know what to do, because I felt so grateful. When I came back, I had 1000+ views, something that I never dared to dream of.
I feel a little bit calmer now but all the supportive comments are still coming in. When this post goes online, I think I have over 2000 views on my blog and I can't believe it. I'm so glad that people know about the disease now, something that is really important. People who kept it a secret for years and years, sent me messages that they think it's amazing that someone actually writes and talks about it. For me, It's not a big deal. Okay, I was really nervous about putting it up on Facebook but I don't mind talking about it with people. It's a part of me now and that is completely fine.
I realized that this is what I want to do. Write and inspire. I'm determined to do whatever it takes to make this dream come true. I want to be a succesful Youtuber and blogger and nothing's going to stop me now. I'm even more motivated than I was before and it's amazing to know that there are actually people who read this. This is insane and I feel so blessed.
A big thank you to everyone who liked my post. Thank you to everyone who left a comment behind. To the people who shared it, thank you. But mostly, I want to thank every single person who made the effort to press the link and read it. THANK YOU! You are an amazing human being <3
There will be a regular post tomorrow but I just had to get this off my chest. I'll try to sleep tonight but it will be hard because the adrenaline is rushing through my body.

5 Musthaves for my holiday
Hi guys!
Right now, I am packing the last bits and pieces for my holiday and I thought I would share some stuff with you, that I can't go without! I am leaving this afternoon and I am so excited. I'm off to a bungalow park together with 7 friends and we are very lucky with the weather, thank god! I picked 5 items and I'm going to show them to you right now.
Bikini bag
Right now, I am packing the last bits and pieces for my holiday and I thought I would share some stuff with you, that I can't go without! I am leaving this afternoon and I am so excited. I'm off to a bungalow park together with 7 friends and we are very lucky with the weather, thank god! I picked 5 items and I'm going to show them to you right now.
Bikini bag
This little bag is a great way to store your swimming costumes, especially when they're wet after swimming. It doesn't take up much space so you can just throw it in any suitcase. It looks so cute with all the little anchors! My mum got me this from Primark last year so I don't know how expensive it was, but I'm pretty sure many shops still sell it.
Travel sized perfume
This little bottle of perfume is great for travelling! Mine is from Chanel, and I carry it with me everywhere I go. It's quite an investment, but it was worth every single penny! You get a total of 3 refills, which is actually cheaper than when you buy the fullsize bottle. The scent is so good and it's my all time favourite perfume.
Lush products
When you're on a holiday, you want to relax uh? I always use bathbombs, bubble bars and other amazing Lush products when I want to relax. So ofcourse I had to take this one with me on my holiday! This is ´Dorothy´, a cute little bubble bar. We have a bath in our bungalow so I will use this very soon I think! I´ve had this one before and it gives the best bubbles ever.
Antibacterial hand sanitizer
Germs are everywhere and you don´t want to get sick whilst being on a holiday. That´s why I always take a hand sanitizer with me. This one´s from Soap & Glory and I love it! I bought this last summer and as you can see, it's not empty yet. We don't have Soap & Glory stuff in the Netherlands, so I'm going to buy like 5 of these when I'm in England next month. It smells amazing and my hands feel really clean after using this.
Make-up wipes
When I was packing my suitcase, I realized that I didn't have any room left for my cleanser, so I needed something else. That's when I decided to take these facial cleansing wipes. They have argan oil in them, which makes sure that your skin doesn't dry out. It smells really yummy, like sweet oranges. These wipes are perfect for when you don't want to take all your skincare products, but still want to cleanse your face everyday. I got these from Primark and they were only €1,-
These are my 5 musthaves. I really have to hurry now because we're leaving very soon, but before I finish this blog post, I would like to share my latest Youtube video with you. You can watch it here so please check it out and let me know what you think of it. Oh and don't forget to like and susbscribe ofcourse!
What are your holiday musthaves?
Love, Elisa

Summer goals
Hi guys!
My exams are finally over which means that my summer break has started! Even if I'm not graduated, I'm off for 3 months and I am so excited. I have many things planned for the coming weeks and I am going to take you with me on my adventure. I thought I'd make a list of all the things I want to do this summer and share it you with guys, so let's get started!
Concerts & festivals
Summer is the perfect time for concerts and festivals. I can already see myself dancing in front of a big stage, with many other people while the sun is setting. Everyone's feeling relaxed and there for great music and an amazing atmosphere. I also have 2 concerts planned at the moment, in fact I am seeing Ariana Grande tomorrow! Next week I'll be going to Miranda Sings' concert and I can't wait to see her in real life for the first time.
Books
Last summer I watched as many films as possible and this summer I want to read as much as possible. When I was younger, there was not a single book in the library left that I didn't read because I loved it so much. I didn't have time for this at all while being in school but now I'm off, I really want to start reading again. It's a shame really, I have so many unread books in my book case.. If you have any recommendations please let me know!
Out of the country
I have booked 3 trips for this summer. My friends and I have hired a bungalow somewhere in the Netherlands which we're going to for 8 days. There are restaurants, swimming pools and many other things to do. In July, my best friend and I will be going to England for 10 days. I am so excited for this because I haven't seen my family for a year. England is basically my second home. I can't wait to show my friend all the amazing shops, pubs and beautiful sights there, I'm sure she's going to love it! I am also going to Prague, Czech Republic's capital city, together with my parents and my brother. We have never visited that part of Europe before so that's going to be really exciting as well!
Write
I have bought this travel journal from HEMA last week and I'm so glad I did. In case you were wondering, yes that is rose gold and it's such a pretty little book to write in! I want to write everything down this summer, so I can look back on this in a few years.
Be healthy
When I was in school, I never had time to prepare healthy food or do my workouts, but there are no excuses anymore now! I really want a healthier lifestyle, so why not start today? I want to try and make banana bread, recipes that include avocado and more healthy stuff. Let me know if there's anything that I really have to try!
Blog and Youtube
Last but not least, my blog and Youtube. I just uploaded my very first Youtube video and I'm quite nervous about the reactions, but I really enjoyed doing it and I'm definitely going to carry on with it. You can check it out here: INTRODUCTION + GET TO KNOW ME TAG Please let me know what you think of it, I want to know!!
What are your plans for this summer?
Love, Elisa
Ps. There will be a blog post every Wednesday and a Youtube video every Saturday, so stay tuned!

Alopecia, my story
Hi guys!
So today I´d like to tell you something that I have been dealing with a few weeks now. Before I start, I´d just like to say that I´m not seeking for attention or anything like that, but I would just like to share my story and maybe help other girls who suffer from this disease as well.
3 weeks ago, I got diagnosed with Alopecia Areata.This is an autoimmune disease that has to do with the hair. I´ll try to give you the best description, so you guys will understand it! Basically, when you get a cold, your body notices it as something bad that it has to fight against, so it´ll go away. My body sees my own hair as the ´bad thing´ that has to go away, so it starts fighting against it which leads to hair loss.
I noticed a bald spot on the top of my head a month ago and I thought stress was the cause and that it would grow back in a few days. My mom however, didn´t trust it and she sent me to my GP.That´s when I got diagnosed. The doctor felt very sorry for me and treated me like I was really sick, but I didn´t feel it like that. I don´t feel sick and I can do everything I want, except for the fact that I have less hair than before.
Weeks have past now and I don´t really know how to feel about it. I got into contact with some girls on Tumblr and that helps me a lot. It scares me though. I might get more bald spots.My hair might never grow back again. I might be bald in 6 months time. It sucks that I don´t know what will happen in the future.
What I do know, is that bald girls are beautiful. I saw some of them on Tumblr and these girls are my role models. I´d die for their make up skills and they can change their hairstyle and colour every single day! If/when I get bald, I want to be like them.
Please leave a comment behind if you have any questions!
Love, Elisa

I'm back + Polagram photo wall
Hi guys!
I'm finally back! I have been very busy with school since I'm in my last year of secondary school but I'm back and ready to roll. I have finals now but I'm almost done and then I break up for 3 months! A few days ago, I realized that if I wanted to blog and make Youtube videos, this would be the right time to make a start. I have been procastinating just because I was scared of people's reactions but I decided that I'm just going to do it. I have so many ideas in my head and you will hear more of me very soon!
There is something that I had to share with you...
A while ago, my mom ordered a poster with all her favourite pictures from her Instagram and Facebook. The result was amazing and I decided to check the site out. With Polagram you can use your own photos to make posters, phone cases, photobooks, calendars and many other things. I went for the giftbox, a small box with 36 photos in Polaroid style. They came very fast and I absolutely loved it! I'm all about making memories and what not, so this is the perfect solution for all the special photos that deserve more than a place on your Facebook page.
I've been wanting to make this for ages but never got the opportunity to print my photos, so this was the perfect moment! I bought some wooden pegs and twine from the local shop, which wasn't expensive at all. I'm not much of a DIY kinda person, but this was so easy to make and it took me literally 15 minutes. I think it turned out really nice and the pictures make me really happy!

If you're looking for a good site/app to print your photos on, I would recommend Polagram. The quality is really good, you have many options and it's easy to use. I only paid €15,90 which I think is really good for 36 high quality photos. I will definitely purchase something again very soon!

One photograph a day: week 1
Hi guys!
I'm so sorry I haven't posted anything last week, I have been very busy with school because my test week is coming soon. I'll try and schedule some posts for next week!
Nonetheless, I came across this app where you make one picture, every day of the year. I absolutely LOVED this idea, but I wanted to do something else, instead of uploading my pictures on this random app. So every Sunday, I'll be posting 7 pictures, of the things I did that week.I am super excited to share my life with you guys!
Monday 5/1: the holidays came to an end and I had to go back to school again.. Fortunately, I had some extra time to do my makeup, straighten my hair and pick out some nice clothes.
Tuesday 6/1: I noticed that there was a huge sale going at the shoe shop in town, so after school I just had to go and check it out. I found these Uggs and I just had to buy them! They are definitely not the prettiest shoes, but you can just put them on with everything and they are just too comfy. These are the classic minis, in the color Chestnut. Oh and I'm a size 2, so they were very cheap. How I love buying things in the children's section!
Wednesday 7/1: I had school from 9.30 am 'til 4.30 pm, and then I had to work for 3 more hours. I was exhausted, so I was really happy to see my bed.
Thursday 8/1: This picture was taken after class at the theatre school. I really missed it during the holidays so I was happy to be back! We had a very tough dancing lesson, and my muscles still hurt, ouch.
Friday 9/1: Thank god it's Friday! I took this picture before I had to work at Jamin, which is a little sweets shop in town. I love working there, my co-workers are awesome and hey, who wouldn't mind being surrounded by candy all day long? I'm not complaining!
Saturday 10/1: Yay, party time! I had an amazing night with my friends. We all needed some relaxation before the test week starts, so we just chilled, drank wine and listened to music.
Sunday 11/1: Although I feel a little hungover, there's still a lot of homework to do. I'm already procastinating by writing this blog post, so I'd better get on with it.
I hope you enjoyed this post, I really liked doing it and I'm excited to do this again next week!
What were your highlights of last week?
Love, Elisa

A dream came true
Hi guys!
there's just a little story that I would like to share with you.
When I was a very little girl, I always looked at this photo in our living room. On this photo, there were two people sitting next to each other. My parents told me that these people were my grandparents. Unfortunately, my granddad passed away a few years before I was born, but my nan was still there. She lived in Australia, in the bush-bush, as we used to call it. Nana Roo, (Roo from kangaroo, because that's what they have in Australia, right?!) a mysterious woman whom I had never met.
When I got older, I started to realize that if we didn't hurry, it might be too late and that there would be a chance that I would never meet my own grandmother. I wrote letters to this tv-show called 'All you need is love', a program where they bring loved ones together with Christmas. Every single year, I had to watch this on Christmas eve, with tears streaming down my face, because they didn't pick my letter, again.
On Friday 2 January 2015, I finally met my Nana Roo for the first time in my life and it was magical. My dad saw his mother again after 18 years, isn't that crazy? I can finally show her my friends, my theatre school, my school, my room and the person who I am now. I can't wait to hear about all the things she likes to talk about, like her dog or her knitting. I feel like the luckiest person on earth,to be able to spend 2 weeks with the mysterious woman on the ppohoto. A dream came true .
What's your biggest dream?
Love, Elisa
P.S. I will post some photos later this week, haven't got the chance to make some nice ones!

My parents told me that these people were my grandparents. Unfortunately, my granddad passed away a few years before I was born, but my nan was still there. She lived in Australia, in the bush-bush, as we used to call it. Nana Roo, (Roo from kangaroo, because that's what they have in Australia, right?!) a mysterious woman whom I had never met.
When I got older, I started to realize that if we didn't hurry, it might be too late and that there would be a chance that I would never meet my own grandmother. I wrote letters to this tv-show called 'All you need is love', a program where they bring loved ones together with Christmas. Every single year, I had to watch this on Christmas eve, with tears streaming down my face, because they didn't pick my letter, again.
On Friday 2 January 2015, I finally met my Nana Roo for the first time in my life and it was magical. My dad saw his mother again after 18 years, isn't that crazy? I can finally show her my friends, my theatre school, my school, my room and the person who I am now. I can't wait to hear about all the things she likes to talk about, like her dog or her knitting. I feel like the luckiest person on earth,to be able to spend 2 weeks with the mysterious woman on the ppohoto. A dream came true .
What's your biggest dream?
Love, Elisa
P.S. I will post some photos later this week, haven't got the chance to make some nice ones!
