July is coming

Hello beautifuls!

I hope you enjoyed the first warm days. Well I did! Next to studying for my last exams 5vwo I have been shooting, drinking tea, dancing on 909 festival, having a good and healthy meal. And since some time I’m drinking coffee (never thought I would really like it), well it all happened at a fashionshow, you always need to wait a whole day from 8.30 in the morning to 4.00 in the afternoon for the first show, that’s a modellife. So to stay awake, it’s a good helper.

Look at the picture in white coat carefully, I needed to laugh! 

July is comingggg ! Well, that means : a lot of fashion. Most of the fashion/artschools as KABK in The Hague, WDKA in Rotterdam, Artez in Arnhem, AMFI in Amsterdam and more have already had a big fashionshow where their students show on what they have been working this year. That means: you work a whole year on a collection and you show it in max 5 minutes, well some people would say you’re a stupid cow, all the work for showing such a short time, but it’s a period of so many emotions and a big progress you go through!

It was my first time for the WDKA! I walked for Sara Eijkelboom, she made a colorful and on Japanese inspired graduation collection. Such a sweet and talented girl.

I was walking for Anna Mala at the KABK for the second time. This time the shoes did fit great! Last year Anna made them herself, but it was almost impossible to walk on them.

But it’s been already half a year ago : Amsterdam Fashionweek. So the 6th of July, it’s fashiontime again. I can’t wait! The 12th of July SIS by Spijkers & Spijkers is opening. You can see the fashionshows livestream again I guess, but this year you can buy tickets too I saw on Twitter. In july I was invited to take a look at the shows from: Claes Iversen, Gsus and Erwin Oudshoorn. Really amazing! To watch the schedule go to: http://www.amsterdamfashionweek.com/en

Start now!

Hi Guys,

Did you enjoy the rainy weeks in the Netherlands!? I don’t think you did, but at least I enjoyed the beautiful air and the birds twittering around. 

This blog is about Chris Powell, sports, perseverance and goals. 

Running in the rain isn’t really a fun thing to do, but I would if I could get a hot shower afterwards. And a friend told me that standing in the shower with a cup filled with hot chocolate is really delicious/amazing. I didn’t try yet, because I still have a knee injury, now for four weeks, but I’m definitely gonna try some time. I really want to get back on my workout scheme soon. I was doing Insanity Workout for two weeks, but I’m gonna start all over again with amazing Shaun T, loving his workouts!

Anyways I want to talk about Chris Powell, such an inspiring person I think. If you have seen Obese USA you will definitely know him. The first thing I mentioned was his smile, he is so happy by seeing people change their lifes. He smiles constantly, which is a sign of optimism and really a boost for the participants I think. Such a beautiful quality. He is not only helping them loose weight, but also changing their manner of living and helping them to know who they really are and wanna be. He gets/lets you face the facts.

Some of his quotes/tips @ABCnews:

“I know you’ve heard this before but take one thing that you are willing to change in your life, whether it’s moving for five minutes or drinking water, take one promise that you can fulfill, and keep that promise to yourself over and over and over. And then take on another small change,”

“A squat jack is a great total body movement, and easy to combine with other exercises.”  

“Jumping rope is back. It was a thing a few decades ago and now it’s back, which is great. It’s endurance, stamina, and it’s a total body exercise. It’s not just the legs, but it’s balance and the shoulders,”

“Choose More, Lose More for Life” is published by Hyperion.

"I believe that everyone has the right to live a happy and healthy life."

Not only Chris is working out, but his whole family is fanatic. He calls his wife (Heidi Powell also a fitness trainer) the bulldog, because she is even more driven.

If you want and believe, you will. Starting tomorrow is reaching your goal a day later than planned. So start now ;D

Well I'm gonna enjoy the sun these days! 

LOVE
