My Spring To-Do List!

We've had two sunny, above zero degrees celcius days in a row! Hooray! It instantly put me in an even better mood and motivates me to do things. So I hereby present you...

My spring to-do-list:

Things I want to do: start doing yoga, eat lots of fruit, buy/grow spring flowers, find the perfect spring tea, go out for drinks and/or ice cream and hang out outside, swing on a swing, go for walks (preferably hand in hand :) ), start running again, practice pin-up style hair updo's for the opcoming hot weather, clean out my bookmarks/back-up computer/etc.

My wishlist: a cute off the shoulder dress, hair flowers, a (pink) camera, lipstick and a nice new perfume that's perfect for warmer weather (any recommendations?)

Clothes/accessories I can't wait to dig out of my closet again: my light leopard print coat, high waisted jean shorts, magenta ballet flats, pink heart shaped sunnies, my hot pink Hello Kitty Loungefly purse, knee high socks (without tights underneath, finally!) 

Books I want to read: The Art of the Teese by Dita von Teese and anything else that is easy to read. Do you know any books I MUST read?

Some things I want to cook: lots of quinoa salad, homemade pizza with lots of fresh toppings (peppers, arugula, tomatoes nomnomnom), Orange Creamsicle French Toast 

On my to-bake list for this spring are: oatmeal lemon creme bars (probably will make these for easter! They're a big hit every time I make them), strawberry cheesecake, Coca-Cola Cupcakes with Salted Peanut Butter Frosting 

What I'll drink: lemon/mint/cucumber water, floral green tea, fresh mint tea, Blogilates Detox water for Craving Control and Beautiful Skin & iced green tea!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Now pleasepleaseplease don't let there be any more snow...

Let Them Eat Cake.

***Right now I have only one big question: 'Why didn't I watch Marie Antoinette before!?'. Long lacy dresses, gorgeous shoes, stunning interiors and candy colored deliciousness! I was in awe the entire film. I had seen tons of pictures floating around on the internet of it, but never got around to watching it up until now...

I now want to continue decorating my room with florals and pink, own lots of frilly gorgeous skirts and dresses, try on lots of pretty shoes and have a French pattiserie right around the corner.

***And gone is the amazing weather. Hello windy coldness. I'm glad I enjoyed it as much as I could while it lasted. Especially working in the garden has been so much fun. So many pretty flowers I especially love these my mum got. They're called bleeding-hearts (or in Dutch 'broken hearts')  and I mean.. look at them! They're in the shape of a heart and pink. Too pretty.

Gotta love all the other plants too though!

What are you doing on my flower you dirty fly?

And our blossom... A couple of days ago I looked outside and suddenly exclaimed: 'Omg mom we've got so much blossom in our front yard!'

Those pink blossomed trees though... I'm a sucker for pink blossomed trees. Blossomblossomblossom.

AND yesterday was my cousin's birthday and I finished her painting right on time!

In the end I was more proud of my gift wrapping skills than the actual painting..

The weather here decided to skip all the spring bullshit and just go straight on to mid-summer weather. It's insane. Only three days ago I had to wear a hoodie + warm jacket, next thing I know I'm out rollerblading in my shorts and tank top. Great days to bring out the soap bubbles, make colorful paper chains, homemade raspberry slushies and as I already mentioned: rollerblading!

  My precious little cousin <3 I'm working on a painting of her right now for her birthday! It'll have lots of rainbow colors, glitter  and cuteness n.n

Talking about art and cuteness.. Here's a little sneak peek of the personal project I'm still working on. I lost interest in it for a bit but now I've jumped back into it!

And today I got myself this sweetiepie, or actually pinkie pie!

Eeeek so cute ^_^ I am so tempted to buy the other ones as well.. I've never really been into the 'old' My Little Pony. I always thought their voices were annoying and they looked a little.. dumb. But I'm absolutely loving the MLP Friendship is Magic series.

I also got myself a new book: Water for Elephants, I've been reading so much about it lately and apparently it's been made into a movie and I still had a book gift certificate lying around so.

I'm also in bad need for a new lay-out which I will probably start working on next week. Or if the weather gets bad again. Hope you all have some good weather too!

For those of you who don't know: I live on an island with more sheep than people. So. It's not spring to me until I see cute little lambs jumping around everywhere! I went to watch them past Saturday and came across this poor little thing. At first I thought he was dead and just left there, but then it woke up but it obviously didn't know where it's mommy was. Luckily the sheep farmers drove by only a couple of minutes later. Yup these are the exciting adventures I have out here.

And lookie! I got some actual decent looking lavender streaks in my hair. It looked horrible at first but after adding a bit of magenta it was alright. I officially won't use Manic Panic dye ever again, it's simply not working for me at all.

I got five compliments on it today though. That's more than I've gotten in the past few months so I must've done something right!

I've finished reading Dark Places btw. Holy hell I couldn't put it down the last few chapters. I loved it so much...
