💗OCTOBER💗 It's October which means the star

💗OCTOBER💗

It's October which means the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A super important cause for both research, awareness, and treatment of Breast Cancer, as well as an appreciation for the women affected by it✨

I love that so many (fashion) companies take the opportunity to support this cause as it is so, so important🙌🏻💖 I embrace the way companies can support a charity close to their heart 💕, to their vision, and their mission. This makes a true difference and allows the customer to participate actively.

Some of the beautiful initiatives this month🎀:
@blondamsterdamnl for @pink_ribbon_nl
@carinwesterofficial
@seavees Breast Cancer Awareness Slip-Ons
@sowcolecreations Jewelry collection
& many more

So please buy in, donate, and support any of this months’ initiatives if you can, all in favor of Breast Cancer Awareness🙌🏻

I got myself this scarf from Carin Wester for @brostcancerforbundet (Scarf for Scars collection) and I took the opportunity to show you 6 fun ways to wear this accessory - adding a little awareness for this cause to your outfit. Plus, I think pink is always a good idea💕

☕️Coffee is served // ☕️Uw koffie-juffie is er klaar voor!

I look ridiculous maybe, in this oversized vest standing in the kitchen. The things I do - serving coffee and handing out meals - may not be interesting or superior at all. But that doesn't count either.

But you know what counts? The heart-warming feeling I get from it. To welcome people in, make them feel at home. A feeling they don't experience every day. Make them feel one of us, make them feel seen. Treat them equally. Give them attention, kindness, and a smile. Listen to their story, as some of them haven't had anyone listening to them in a while✨
I do learn more about society and things that really matter in life, than what I could learn in an average week in the office🖊📈

What I look like doesn't matter to me, it is the connection and the heart-warming feeling that counts💛

Who of you can relate?

💛Mariatorget I really like the new neighborhoo

💛Mariatorget

I really like the new neighborhood where I live in! It's so vibrant, alive, diverse and open⚡️ If you haven't been to Stockholm yet: I live on the Southern Island of the city (called Södermalm) and around a square in the centre of this Southern Island.
The area is filled with cute boutique stores, small restaurants and pop-ups✨ The streets are made of colourful buildings, small parks, plants and trees. And this area has the best second hand stores in town👛 It feels way more international than other areas of the city.
I personally really enjoy to live here in this moment of time, as everything is on a walking distance, I am in the city so quickly and most of all: I feel save and at ease here🥰

Some of my favorite spots in this neighborhood:
Coffee, fika☕️: @stpaulbageri and @bageripetrus
Sightseeing and views: The Mariatorget Square itself, Mariaberget, Morteliusvagen and Skinneviksberget🏔
Restaurants🍴: @magnoliastockholm , @abowlrestaurant , @morfarginko_papparayray , @mahalosthlm , drinks at Hotel Rival and tapas at @racamaca_food
Second hand: @stockholmsstadsmission , @juditssecondhand , @rodakorset and Marialoppis *all at Hornsgatan*
Other stores: @ginatricot , @granit , @designtorget at Gotgatan, @brandstationen_store and @ohlamoon.se close by🛍

Now all I have left to do, is to transform my apartment to the prettiest & coziest place of this neighborhood. Will show you around soon, promise!

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY THAT NEWSPAPER📰💰 In one

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY THAT NEWSPAPER📰💰

In one of my Stories I recently mentioned how much I support the system behind the magazines and newspapers distributed by homeless people📰 I think it's super interesting for you to know more about this support system and therefore I like to explain this even more in-depth:

🗞The newspapers or magazines are mostly made by volunteers and non-profit organizations, distributed locally and written and inspired by Stories from the Street: Stories about neighborhoods, the people that live here etc. Whether you like what's in there or not, I truly support the economical system behind it:

🗞These magazines and newspapers are not 'given' but bought by the people that sell it. They have to buy-in on them, make a forecast of the amount they will sell and then pay in advance. Once they go out and sell, they use a margin to sell and the difference is for themselves. The great thing about this? They organize their own economy! They have to save, forecast, sell-in and sell-out📈 And save again a part of their income to do the next sell-in. This way, they learn to get their personal economies in place, learn to financially take care of themselves, take responsibility and become financially independent someday💰
🗞Buying such a magazine or a newspaper, needless of the interest you have to read it, is, in my opinion, one of the best ways to help a homeless person financially. You don't just give them money to buy food or drinks, you contribute to their financial stabilization, to their independence. To their feeling of achievement. Their feeling of being capable of managing their own economics💛🙌🏻

So if you have something to give and like to help: buy their magazines or newspaper!

Back to Office outfit📂

As we finally can go back to the office these days, I choose to go for feminine, tailored, and colorful outfit but with a Fall take on it🍂
(I work in a casual work environment)

Ideas for (office) looks this Fall:
- Soft suiting (tailored)
- The Sleeveless Blazer
- Dressed up Denim (denim combined with blazers, loafers, or heels)
- A Midi skirt and a knit
- Spencers
- Knitted dresses
- Trenchcoat

Which one would you go for🖊?

Shoes: 2nd hand ASOS via @myrorna

Volunteer-feelings🥴😜🙂🥰 Doing voluntee

Volunteer-feelings🥴😜🙂🥰

Doing volunteer work (abroad) always brings me nerves as it takes me completely out of my comfort zone, but the happiness and satisfying feeling during the activity and afterwards are always amazing! Smiling faces, thankful people, and doing it together with an amazing (new) team⚡️Love it⚡️
I feel so privileged to do this: to get to know new people, to contribute to society as a person and to get insights into worlds/lives I would most likely not get in touch within "my own bubble." Thankful💕

Do you ever feel you'd like to contribute 'something' to society? Send me a DM and we could look into ways that fit YOU personally and how you can just try it out once🙌🏻

💛NEW HOME

Welcome to my new place✨
I just moved into my new 40qm apartment (so exciting!) and it’s like a blank canvas. The basics are all there: light wooden floor, white walls, a bed, and a dining table. But everything else is there to arrange by myself and I love it. This process is so much fun. I’m on the lookout for cute items that will make this place truly mine. I look for second-hand options mostly, adding in some new things from my local favorite interior stores here at Södermalm.

Oh, I can't wait to show you more of my apartment and the decorating process - A video is coming soon📹

Any tips on where to find nice decorative things? Stores, online stores, brands and departments stores? Would love to hear them💕🙌🏻

I’m BACK🇸🇪 I’m back in Stockholm, Swede

I’m BACK🇸🇪

I’m back in Stockholm, Sweden☀️ I just moved into my new apartment at Mariatorget (more about that soon) and I’m ready to get back to my routines💕
Back to work, back to office days, working out, me-time, fika’s with friends, long walks in nature and strolling through the city and its cute stores☕️

And ofcourse: VOLUNTEERING💛 As most Swedish volunteers leave the city for the Summer, my volunteer work also temporarily stopped during these Summer months. But I'm happy to get back to it😍
I will volunteer 3 Sundays in September at the lunch service for homeless of @nygemenskap (Västberga) and I applied for a new project for Fall - I really hope I can start there in September as well and tell you more about it soon✨

Love from Stockholm💛

Snapshots of Summer at NL💛

It was so nice to be back in NL and to take time off✨

I spend a lot of time with family, with my friends, was able to hug them again, met new little friends👶🏼, went on a weekend-get-away with my mom, had dinners with my grannie🥰 , went to the beach🌾, got fully vaccinated💉, spend days in Amsterdam, lunched, brunched and dined🥂 I sewed✂️ and read a book 📕 I even celebrated my birthday with my family in advance💕

Now I'm fully re-charged for Fall🍂 Are you ready?🤎
