How to style Pastels for the Ultimate Summer Look

Hi There..... Do you have too many ideas at times?

I had today..... I was in doubt which one I was gonna tell you about..... Maybe I could write about the 2 other ideas in my mind some other time..... Meanwhile you can keep guessing a bit what those 2 ideas were..... However, today is all about fashion 😃

It still is one of my favorite topics..... I have always been interested in fashion..... I wasn't very fashionable when I was young but that was not my choice 😉

We just didn't have the money for it..... My dad had an office job and my mom was a stay at home mom..... She stopped working when I was about 4 or 5, as far as I can remember, to be home for me and my 2 sisters..... It was quite common at that time 😳

There we go again..... Yes, that was ages ago..... Or let's just say half an age ago..... If you know that I am almost 57 now..... Oh my, I hate that number..... But most important is that I am young at heart..... Right 😎

I used to be jealous of those kids that had such fashionable clothes..... But who knows..... They may have been jealous that I had a stay at home mom 😁

I still remember what I bought after I got paid for my first summer job..... A pair of black jeans overall trousers..... It was actually way too big for me..... My mom and dad hated it..... But that's what everyone was wearing back then..... No, I don't have any pictures of me wearing it..... You would just make fun of me anyhow 😛

I do have another picture for you though..... About the fashion set that I made on Shoplook today 😄



SAGE GREEN CONTRAST TRIM JERSEY 

T-SHIRT DRESS



PINK ‘Iyla’ TRAINERS


FULL BLOOM LEATHER STRAP WATCH, 38mm


LATTE 2 EYESHADOW PALETTE



So tell me what you think of my fashion set..... See anything you would like..... You will see when you click on the items that I haven't chosen any expensive ones..... Not all of us make money while we sleep..... Right 😊

Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great day

How to start an Instagram account

Hi There..... Do you have an Instagram account?

I opened mine in January 2017..... Not actually knowing how to use it properly  😕

So that's why I thought that maybe it would be a good idea to share some tips with you..... You never know when you might think..... Ok..... Let's do this 😀

Or maybe you already started but you are somewhat like me..... Winging it..... And think it's high time to stop messing around 😎

Maybe some explanation of what it is could be a great idea..... You can still be thinking..... What is this thing everyone's raving about 😳


To get you started..... Instagram is a mobile app and believe it or not..... It's free..... So go on..... Go crazy..... As Charles Bukowski said 'Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.'..... Come on now..... And you can start all by following me..... A few more followers never hurt anyone haha 😇 😂

Ok back to business..... You can get the app..... On your mobile phone only of course.....from the App Store, Google Play ore Window's Marketplace 😊

Are you ready to start and play now..... But first, think hard about that name of yours..... It will turn out to be more important than you know..... Maybe you already have an account name on other Social Media or your blog..... If you use the same name..... And if you are lucky people will find your Instagram profile 😁



The next thing to do is obviously fill in your profile..... You might want to check out some others and see what they put on theirs to get some inspiration 😋

Time to start to download pictures or video's now..... Just click on the plus and choose a picture you would like to share..... Enhance it with one of the filters of your choice..... Try to be somewhat consistent in the use of these filters..... And share it with your followers..... Aha..... No followers of course 😁


That's exactly what I was thinking at the time..... How on earth will I get those followers..... I can tell you it's not always that easy..... So wait before you post that picture of yours 😄

To have people find you and also want to follow your feed..... You need to have a bit of text that goes with your picture and most important of all..... Hashtags..... Oh my now don't tell me you don't know what they are..... You must have been living under a rock 😲


To get my hashtags I actually use a very handy app https://www.flick.tech..... Regret to say that it's not free but I can tell you it is super handy..... Especially if you have no clue at all which ones to use..... The better the Hashtags the easier you will get found and the more followers you get..... But you need to keep in mind that they have to fit with that picture of yours..... And you can use a maximum of 30 tags per Instagram post 😎



You will find out that you can click on those Hashtags from Instagram to see what others have posted..... You will see that there are 2 tabs to choose from..... Either you choose to see the popular ones or you can go to the tab Recent..... If you want to you can also decide to follow the tab..... Of course, I will tell you what you have to gain by following those 😀

When you open your Instagram and you start scrolling down you get what's called your Instagram Feed..... Oh yes, you get fed using Instagram..... But nothing edible of course 😂

So what do you get to see if you scroll down your feed..... First of all, you get the posts from those you decided to follow..... Secondly you also get to see the posts from people that used those Hashtags you decided to follow..... And then there are also the sponsored posts..... From the people that use Instagram for advertising 😉


You then get to decide if you want to like those posts or not..... Just by clicking the heart ..... And if you want you can also comment on them by clicking on the text balloon..... You can also forward them to other people or a group of people by clicking on the arrow 

These options also count for a post of your own..... And I know what you are thinking..... Oh yes, I do.....There are people that comment on their own post..... That's what you were thinking..... Wasn't it 😂

Now just another minute before you post that first picture of yours..... If you want you can also tag others or even yourself for that matter..... All you have to do is mention them in your text..... Like this..... @seadbeady ..... Nothing more to it 😁

So go on..... Start posting those pictures..... But not too many at once..... That would be spamming and could get you removed again from Instagram 😇


A few more tips maybe..... You can connect your other Social Media accounts to Instagram..... This way you can decide to post a picture not only to Instagram but also on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr for Instance 😄

One very important tip is never to use any apps to unfollow people..... That could get you grounded for a couple of days at first or maybe, later on, removed permanently 😰


Another important tip is not to follow too many people at once..... This could also get you grounded or banned.....You have to build your following gradually..... You might be tempted to get into some kind of follow loop..... They could help you build your audience but you might ask yourself are they the ones you want as followers 😍

One more thing you have to keep in mind..... At least that is something that I had to find out for myself..... The maximum amount of people you can follow is 7.500..... So don't think you can keep following people endlessly 😉

There's a lot more I could tell you probably but I don't want you falling asleep here..... But feel free to ask me any questions about this topic..... Who knows I might even be able to answer them 😂

Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great day

The secret to a smooth skin

Hi There..... Do you like to take care of your skin?

I do..... My skin is very important to me..... So I take good care of it 😃

Ok, sure I admit..... I want to look young as long as I can without having any cosmetic surgery..... Have you seen that Botched series on Tv..... I really wouldn't like to look like that 😂

Although I might consider a laser treatment if my rosacea gets any worse than this..... I can hear you thinking..... What on earth is rosacea 😲

It's a long term skin condition..... You can read all about it on this page of Wikipedia..... But you had better not look at the pictures on the site if you just ate haha..... No and mine is more or less under control at the moment 😌

My mind was wandering again..... No, no..... I am not telling you where my thoughts went too..... My thoughts are mine and mine alone 😁

That's not always true though..... Today I am sharing my thoughts with you..... My thoughts on 2 products I received a while ago from Aloeverademallorca 😃

The first one I am gonna tell you about is their Body Lotion..... This is what they say about it..... It is a nourishing body lotion with rejuvenating oils, Panthenol, Shea Butter and the vitamins A and E..... This valuable lotion has a refreshing smell and is very good to support your daily care.


Sounds good..... Doesn't it..... And if you ask me..... I am really happy with it 😊

You know that feeling when you take off your pants or leggings and your legs go all flaky..... I just hate that..... And it looks like you have some kind of gruesome disease..... I don't have that anymore now since I started using the body lotion on a daily basis 😄

Oh yes, and I almost forgot to tell you that it really smells so very fresh..... I am not pulling your leg..... It is true 😊

Time to tell you some more about their Moisturizing cream..... So what do they say about that one..... It's a high-quality moisturizer with vitamin A and E, Panthenol, and jojoba..... The Jojoba oil quality makes this a very valuable ingredient in cosmetics..... The moisturizer takes care, protects, and smooths your skin.



Ah..... Of course..... You would like to know what I think about it..... Glad to know that someone values my opinion..... Maybe you should come over to tell my hubby..... So that he knows too that my opinion matters..... Haha no just joking..... We get along perfectly 😉

I actually can't say anything bad about this product either..... It does exactly what it promises to do..... My skin felt so smooth after using it..... And you can use it to keep your skin moist in spring or summer because it has the necessary vitamins to protect your skin from the sun..... But also during the rest of the year of course 😃

Ok, shoot me..... But I am gonna tell you another good thing about it.....  It has a convenient pump top so that makes it easier to apply 😘 

Don't blame me..... I can't help it that I love those products of Aloeverademallorca..... And on top of that, they are reasonable in price..... What more could you want 😁 

If you like to know more about them you can read my previous blog posts here

Everything you need to know about Singer Songwriter Fletcher Moudy

Hi There..... Do you like music?

I do..... Very much..... Some of you may not know..... But I am the lead singer of a Cover Band..... We haven't been able to practice for a while though..... At least not together..... And if there is one thing that makes me happy it is singing..... So this is not a very happy time for me now 😭

I cried my eyes out..... Or not..... I must have been mistaken..... I can still see for instance that I have a picture of Fletcher Moudy here below..... I actually stole it from his Facebook..... Sneaky me.....No worries it is ok because this blog is about his music..... And what is music without a face..... Right 😄


Ah, I see..... I made you curious now..... You want to know more..... That's actually the way I felt when I heard a small part of his music..... It has a strong country vibe and I have been a fan of country music like forever 😍

That's just like Fletcher Moudy..... He was born in Indiana and grew up listening to country and bluegrass music 😊

Did you know that Indiana was the home to Gennet Records..... And they are known for their recording a wealth of jazz, blues, and country music in the 1920s..... You can find out more about that on Wikipedia  😀

Fletcher packed up a truck in 2001 and moved to Dallas..... He was the frontman for the hard rock band SLUR..... Their single reached Top 40 on the charts..... But he grew tired of the rock scene and returned to his roots in 2016..... If you listen to the song parts you will notice this rock past in some of his songs too 😃

Now he dedicates all his time to songwriting..... He has been writing and producing songs for multiple artists worldwide 😄

How cool is that..... Ah, you don't know...... Of course, you don't..... You need to get some teasers from me first 😁

So now he has made a debut country album..... And if you ask me it's really good..... You should really give him the benefit of doubt and listen to these teasers that I chose for you 😄

What good cause to support when you are a pet lover?

Hi There..... Do you have a soft spot for animals?

I mean in your heart of course..... No, No..... Not the soft spot on the couch that's reserved for your four-legged friend 😂

Actually, I wanted to come back on a blog post I made in December last year about The AAP or Animal Assisted Projects 😊

You can read my previous blog post here

The AAP focusses on the relationship between man and animal..... And they have found great ways to do so 😀

Like their plus-owner initiative..... Where people of 55 or older are given the chance to take care of someone else's animal for the day..... That way the owners can benefit too by knowing someone is giving their pet some extra love 😍


Picture from zoegammon on Pixabay

Another important goal of them is to also use their knowledge to offer training about the relationship between animal and man  😀 

And if that's not enough..... They also use their know-how to work together with the government and organizations..... And not just a tiny bit..... They really are devoted to their job if you ask my honest opinion..... I might try to fool you sometimes maybe..... But definitely not this time  😊

They have a helpdesk where you can ask all kinds of animal-related questions..... Citizens can report animal-abuse or neglect and they work together with the police or other services to find the best possible solution  😍

Hearing that really makes me happy..... If there is something I can't stand its people neglecting or abusing animals..... That is simply unforgivable  😖

Also very important for people who live in the neighborhood is their emergency care and transit if owners can temporarily not take care of their pet..... They have enthusiastic volunteers who are happy to support them in this task  😀 


Picture from Wokandapix on Pixabay

Where are you going..... No, no don't go..... I haven't finished..... Stay..... Sit  🤣

They also often intervene when an animal is seized..... They sit down with the parties involved to see which measures would be appropriate..... If necessary they give advice and support after the return of the owner's pet  😊

Oh yes, there is more..... They follow up on incidents with animals by consulting with the animal shelter, the vet or another expert about measures to guarantee public safety and the welfare of humans and animals  😀 

And last but not least..... There is their involvement in School projects, youth projects, and awareness campaigns in which they develop a diverse range of training courses and workshops tailored to young people..... Fabulous..... Right  😍


Picture from Free-Photos on Pixabay

What did you say..... You would love to help..... Of course, you can..... No obligations but you can't blame a girl for asking..... Actually, they mailed me to ask for help so I am just passing the buck 😁

So maybe you have a grandpa or grandma that you miss so much..... Who knows maybe it could be a mom or dad, a girlfriend or boyfriend even..... Maybe you should let them know that you are thinking of them..... Or maybe you just want to spread some joy around the world 😘

What better way than to order their fun postcards to put a smile on someone's face..... You receive a full package of 10 different cards for 12.50 euro..... Here is the link to them https://www.aapvzw.be/steun-ons-shop..... Come on now..... It's not that much and it's for the welfare of animals  😍

By the way..... If you might ask yourself.....I have no benefit from posting this.....I just have a big heart for animals..... Not literally of course..... It's not like you can feed my heart to your dogs  😂

Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great day

What are this season's must haves?

Hi There.....Do you like to dress casual?

I do..... I am a real jeans lover..... And at the moment I most prefer the more skinny type of jeans..... One that has elastic in it and fits perfectly around your legs 😃

You know when I grew up jeans weren't elastic at all..... They were stiff from top to bottom as far as I recall..... I remember going to the store and you had to hold your tummy in so hard till there was no air left in your body..... Well, at least it felt like that..... Just to get into that special pair of jeans..... I can guarantee you that it was a lot of hard work 😅 😁

Did you know that jeans weren't a fashion item at all in the early beginnings..... They were mostly worn by men as working clothes..... According to Wikipedia, they were used by sailors because they needed a fabric that could be worn wet or dry..... I bet those men would laugh their ... of if they would see us, women, in them now 😂

I just love looking up a little bit of history..... Both my sisters would laugh pretty hard if they would hear me say this..... They know that I hated it as a subject in class when I was young..... You see it's never too late to change 🤣 😂

What am I rattling away about again..... Haha, that's me I suppose..... You have to do what you are good at 😋

I made another fashion set for you with items in it that I actually would like to wear myself..... So that's one like to start 😁

What is a Meme ?

Hi There.....Do you like to have fun?

Now if that's not a stupid question..... I don't know what is 😂

Who doesn't like to have a little fun in their lives..... Especially when things aren't the way they are supposed to be..... Someone always has to be the clown..... And I thought why not me..... I sure hope you are not afraid of clowns 🤡

I just love to play the role of the fool..... At least in my blog, I do..... In real life, I am actually somewhat shy 😄

There was a time..... When I was in school still that I used to be so very shy..... If people just looked at me I would turn completely red..... I am glad I got it under control now..... But red is still my favorite color 😁

So actually there are 2 places where I am in my comfort zone..... When I am on my laptop and believe it or not..... When I am singing on stage..... But please don't ask me to speak in front of a group..... I really hate that..... Weird right..... But hey, that's me I suppose 🙃

But enough about me..... Let's talk about memes 😊

Ah right..... What on earth is a meme..... That's what you were thinking..... Am I right 🙃

A meme is a picture that is being spread through Social Media mostly with a text on it to make it funny..... And I sure hope you will like the memes I made for you..... Well, I like them so that's at least one person to start with 😂













Ha..... Now you want to try it too..... Right..... Be my guest..... We can all have some fun together 😊 Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great day

Where can I find some cool handmade pants for this summer?

Hi There..... How are things going over there?

Here in Belgium, we are taking baby steps to a new way of living with a gradual exit strategy..... We have been in lockdown for quite a while now..... I couldn't even remember how long it was..... So I looked it up and it seems that our lockdown started on the 18th of March..... But we have always been allowed to go outside still to do our groceries..... Or for taking walks, a run or other sports in the parc keeping the 1.5m distance in mind of course 😷

So far only the grocery shops, fabric shops, do-it-yourself, and garden shops were open for business..... Starting Monday all the other shops will be opening their doors again..... But I am not crazy enough to go shopping already..... A little crazy maybe but not that crazy 😂

It feels kinda weird though..... When someone in the supermarket wants to be in the same aisle as you..... They look at you in a way as if you could be their killer..... I am not sure yet if I like it..... In a way, it is pretty badass having people be scared of you..... Renata the Ripper..... Doesn't sound that bad 😁

But then again, who is the scaredy-cat..... Me, I suppose..... I am the one staying away from the brave shoppers next week 😅😂

Although I probably won't be the only one..... Some people will agree that it's just common sense.....That's why I thought I would bring the stores to you other scaredy cats..... And show you a few handmade summer trousers from my beloved Etsy site 😄

Extravagant Black Short Pants * Asymmetric Pants Skirt


High Waisted Pants, Summer Tapered Pants



Linen Women Dusty Pink Trousers, Wide Leg Pants


Teal Ruched Booty Shorts • Cinched Hot Pants for Women


Women 2 Pcs. set/Long pants Crop top set/Summer spring


SASI Mini shorts, summer shorts, hot pants


Leggings, yoga pants, sport pants, Leggingpants


Grey cropped cotton capris / pants / trousers


Cool Shorts with Neon fringes - fluorescent


Wrapover White Trousers with Tie Strings


Some of them are pretty cool if you ask me..... But I actually want your opinion..... Did I find something to your liking 😃

Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great day
