Pre-Sch=O-O=L * Take 1, ((2)), 3

Deaaaaaar people,
We didn't only get a planner, but of course we also got some wrapping paper (yes in Holland we don't have Book-Socks - unfortunately). My sister and I got about ten to twelve kinds for about 50 cents each. The notebooks we got aren't from the same brand but they look a lot like the blue wrapping paper so I don't mind. The matching labels are awesome toooooo!



Love always , Rachelle

Gray Nailpolish!!!

Whaaaaaaaaaaa hello readers!
I finally managed to buy gray nailpolish :)
Yay, I'm so happy! A brand (Miss Sporty) was on sale - 2 shades for 3 euros, so I took this opportunity to buy gray and black nailpolish (never had gray before, black was getting too thick to dry...).
This color is pretty dark, and one layer isn't good enough because the texture is so thin. You should go for at least two layers,... according to moi ;)

<3, Love,Rachelle

Pre-Sch-(o)=(o)-L

Deaaaaaaar readers,

I know this is a bit early, but I thought it would be better for me to post it now...

My new school year starts in about 5 weeks but I'm such a nerd and already bought a new planner. Last year I had a 'Fancy magazine' planner which was about 14 euros. I found that a bit expensive because the cover began to rip off and it had a lot of ads in it which bothered me. Sooo this time I bought a brand-less planner with a spiral back. This makes it harder for your planner to rip apart and writing in it is more convenient. My sister bought the same type of planner and we took some pictures of the useful things.

We cut out some pics from a magazine and put those in the plastic sheet on the cover and back to personalize it. We also got some post-its and sticked those on the second page. I loveeee post-its! I use one weekly and write down ''to do's'', homework, tests coming up and stupid lines I hear people say that I eventually will put as my twitter/hyves/facebook/MSN status or just laugh at them. We also added an envelop to keep (important) notes, etc, save. There are some extra clear sheet protectors inside the planner. We used them as a picture gallery, haha. This planner cost about 7 euros.

You can also use stickers, colored pens and markers, paperclips, pieces of paper or magazine cut-outs.

Good luck finding yourself the perfect planner :) !

Essence Nailpolish Remover - Nail Hardening

Hey there guys!
I'm sorry I haven't posted anything in like...weeeeks. I've been busy working this summer! I got a job at a clothing store in town, and I also have one at a farm. What I do is peeling dried skins off of tulip bulbs. Interesting, huh? Nah. I think it's a job we Dutch people only know of...

So anyway, while I was working at that farm, I was talking to the girl next to me. And seriously, you spend the whole day peeling so I basically know her life from A to Z now (haha). She told me about a nailpolish remover she recently bought from Essence. (Essence is a brand that they sell in Holland at a certain pharmacy). It, of course, cleans your nails and removes your nailpolish but it seriously makes them hard! I bought it yesterday and you know what's even more great? It has a scent! Strawberry-vanilla :-D

So I really recommend it to you alllll!
