Current loves: lots of ♥♥!

Hi everyone! How has your Valentine's day been? Mine was everything I could've asked for :) I never got to spend it with someone special before, so I wanted to go 'all out' for once! It involved making a cake and valentine's day cards in secret, getting beautiful pink & purple flowers with starbursts and chocolate + deep dish pizza, chicken & watching the first Harry Potter movie. Omnomnom!

Other little things making me happy...

♥ waffles with canadian maple syrup ♥

♥ My new wallpaper ♥

♥ Cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2! I think it was even better than the first one. ♥

♥ Practising to paint with watercolours ♥

♥ Zorro the cat sleeping with us every night (after some jealousy issues) ♥

& Rolo ice cream ♥ long morning cuddles ♥ MTV's The Challenge ♥ endless Pinterest browsing

Hope you're having a great week so far c:

Cats can say hi.

Hello lovelies! I'm still in Canada and it's still cold and snowy. Right now I'm sitting here with a showercap on my head waiting for my hairdye to be done :) Live has been pretty 'slow' lately, which makes sense since I'm basically re-starting my life! I'm already pretty used to everything, but I still feel like everything is settling and we've got plenty of things to take care of before things can start picking up again. I still freak out every once in a while when I start thinking about everything that could go wrong. What if I still got to go back home in the end? What if things aren't as simple and easy as we think they are? etc. etc. Things aren't so slow that I have a lot of time to worry about all that though. So far everything is going great! Here are some random shots of the past few days...

I've been using my mini instax polaroid camera a lot since I got here so we had a bunch of polaroids just lying around. I decided to do something with them and made this cute heart on our wall!

My latest obsession: gel manicures! It lasts for up to 3 weeks (even longer if they didn't grow out) and makes your nails super strong. It's the greatest thing ever. I never got my nails done 'professionally' before, but yesterday I went for a second time and now I'm officially hooked haha

I do try to keep up with drawing/painting/being creative even though I'm not in school right now. Sucks that so many of my supplies are still at home in Rotterdam.. just got to start hoarding here n.n

Zorro the cat loves to help me

Skype is my (and probably everyone else's) hero when it comes to long distance calls! I love skyping with my family back home every once in a while and see their faces :) and my mom enjoys taking pictures of me when we do lol. The cat here even got to say hi to my own cat thousands of miles away!

And obviously, this is a shot from today. My favorite part of dyeing my hair is definitely mixing the colors. It's like a mix of art and cooking! I always want to eat it.. somebody make edible hair dye please..

Now it's time to get this dye out of my hair and watch new Regular Show and Shameless episodes. Hope you're having a wonderful week so far!

First Polaroid! Aaaah! ♥

OMG you guys! Isn't it awesome? Eeehh! Okay, so I probably shouldn't be so excited about such a generic photograph but honestly, this camera makes everything look a hundred times more awesome. 

I was super duper nervous taking my very first photograph with my new Instax mini 7S (at first only the dummy polaroid thing came out, so I had to be nervous all over again) but now I just want to instax mini everything in sight. If only film for it wasn't so expensive... Maybe I'll just make it a weekly thing, if I can contain myself that is...
