Change your words, change your world!

I stumbled upon this video today and I love the message that it brings with.

Watching videos like this one, make me happy. They make me see that there are actually people in the world who do things for other people without expecting anything in return. I love how the lady just stopped and changed the words  and I loved how people are more inclined to do something good after seeing some positive words. I was really surprised that the blind guy trusted her so much that he just let her change the words. It shows that some people really do see the good on others.

I like stumbling up to positivity when I’m walking on the street, reading a book, listening a song or even browsing the web. I love how a simple quote can change your mood and how it can make you think about something a little deeper.

Thanksgiving inspiration

It’s that time of the year again… Thanksgiving week! It’s my first thanksgiving ever and I’m so excited! Yesterday we drove from Redondo Beach to Palm Desert as we are going to spend this holiday in the desert.

As for what they told me, thanksgiving week means lots of YOLO-food. And as the people who know me know, I’m all in for YOLO-food! 😉 For the last couple of weeks I have been running a lot and I was planning to continue working out as much as I could here too, because the place where we are staying at has the nicest gym! Unfortunately I’m injured and I just can’t run! I should go see a doctor, but I haven’t had time for that. Also I’m afraid of what he might say, because I love running and working out and I don’t want to put that on hold. On thursday we are going to do a 5k turkey run in Palm Springs, for which I’m super excited, and if my back isn’t better by the end of the week, I’ll go for a check up! 😉 Anyway my point is, I deserved a YOLO-week full of my favorite food.

I’m in charge of the mashed potatoes and the appetizers and what’s a better place to look for inspiration than Pinterest? 😉

How do you decide on the things you’re going to make? Where do you guys celebrate this holiday?

Workspace inspiration

Something that is really important for me in a house is to have your own space. Sometimes I like to be by myself for the day and do the things I like without others questioning what I’m doing.

When I have a day like that, I tend to be creative. I start scrapbooking for example, which is something I really need space for. When I’m doing that there are papers, painting, tape, stickers and bows everywhere. As I still live with my parents at the moment, I’m happy to be able to do those things in my own room, because they would really worry when they would see all the mess I’ve made after crafting for a while!

I’d like to have a workspace that is white, because it brings light into the room and to me white is really classy. I would go for one color accent though, but I haven’t decided what color I’d pick.

Something I else I need is a big table, not just a little one like you see on some of those pictures, because I need my space.

I’d put black-and-white pictures that I’ve taken on the wall and I’d use some inspirational quotes to give the space a more personal touch!

I’m so looking forward to have my own place and to start designing what it will look like! I have lots of ideas already! Now I just have to earn enough money to realize my dream office!

Madrid is coming closer

Hi guys!

Madrid is coming closer… In fact on Thursday morning at 9 o’clock I’ll take the bus from Salamanca to arrive there around 11h30.

I’m really excited about this trip, because it’s all about discovering new places, new people, lots of fashion- and streetstyle photography and maybe it’s even about meeting new inspiring people/bloggers.

Are there any fashion- or streetstyle photography bloggers among you who’d like to meet and work together for some hours in Madrid? We are there from Thursday till Saturday afternoon. Leave a comment if you’re interested! 😉

Life is like a camera

Focus on what’s important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives and if it goes wrong…Take another shot.

The camera

I’ve decided to start sharing pictures I found on Pinterest that inspired me & this is the first one I’d like to share with you!

I love photography and I’ve actually loved it since my dad bought his first digital camera! I have always been the girl in the group with the good camera who would take a lot of pictures during the day/night and share them after with everyone.

I love the quote on the camera because it really just says what I experience. Before I started loving photography, I didn’t see much details in this world. Now I do. Even if I don’t have my camera with me, I do look further than what I see.

I think that lots of people should try to do that. The world is not only about YOUR life, YOUR problems or what YOU know. It’s a lot more than that. Try looking in a different way at what you see, and share how that made you feel. Look for the story behind the view and enrich yourself!
