June Favourites

June has come to an end and that means it is time for me to do another monthly favourites. I do think that June has been a great month, this month I have had more viewers than any month before, which does make me thankful and gives me more energy to continue and to do more.

Now the favourite items for this month.

Dungarees: I have own this dungaree for over a year now and never had the courage to wear it, but this month that has changed. Not that I felt extra courageous, but because I wanted to start wearing the clothes I like, because I like them and not because others will and for me to do that is just to make a start with it. So I put my dungarees on, with a striped shirt and some sneakers (perhaps not the most stylist way) and went out. A big step and to my surprise, I felt very comfortable and very me whilst wearing my dungarees, and feeling very me is something I haven’t done I quite some time.

I did wear them during my family weekend and I suspected that my family would have some comments in the more negative vibe and would really hate this, but not even that happened and all that I got were compliments on what I wore.

Hat: To continue on the theme of wearing items that are out of my comfort zone; here’s this hat. This one I have for two years now and the only time that I wore this was in my house where no one could see me, this is because I feel that the hats are such statement pieces and you will notice someone is wearing a hat immediately. But because I want keep making my comfort zone bigger I started wearing this hat out, during a small day of shopping in my hometown (which isn’t really shopping, only getting the things that we needed). I was very aware of the fact that I was the only one wearing a hat that day, I was constantly looking for someone who was wearing a hat as well but there weren’t any. Even though I didn’t feel as comfortable when I was wearing my dungarees, but I did feel proud I did wear my hat outside and will do more often.

Vase: This was a lucky find in our basement and when we found it, it wasn’t a vase yet. It was a bottle full of stuff to cook mussels in, it wasn’t usable anymore because it was in the basement for a little too long. It probably came out one of my dads Christmas packages of work and nobody in our house like mussels. But that doesn’t matter to me, because I have a cute vase that hasn’t cost me a thing. These finds make me so happy!


Book: 100 wereld plekken die je gezien moet hebben by Floortje Dessing. This book I’ve has been given to my by my psychologist at our last meeting. He gave it to me, because he knew I love and look up to Floortje Dessing, I said it during an exposure (where I had to give a presentation about what I would want to do with my life). If there’s one thing I would love to do for a living, it would be what she’s doing, travelling the world and tell others about it, meet all sorts of different people from different countries, with different cultures and with different stories. He remembered this and because he had this book in his house he wanted to give the book to me. Normally they won’t give a present to a patient, but he thought this was too perfect to not do it and to be honest, this does make feel a bit special and I’m very happy with this book, because it’s filled with so many places a would like to visit and it’s written by someone I think is awesome. I’m very thankful that he did give me this book.　

Cake: Last Friday I talked about a cake that I would make that day for my birthday and this is the cake. Instead of just using only the whipped cream and sprinkles, I added some fruit to make it even more delicious and perhaps a little bit healthier. And let me tell you, it has been a very delicious cake and we all enjoyed it very much.

Whipped cream and Sprinkles

Twenty is what I will be when this day is over, never thought I would ever be twenty. Mostly because when I was little I was convinced that Peter Pan would get me and take me along to Neverland so I never had to grow up or get older and live my life full of adventures. But unfortunately Peter Pan never came and now I’m growing older.
This year I have learned a lot and because of that I have grown, but the coming year I will have to grow up even more and need to do even more grown up things, like paying bills and such. And because all of that I’ve decided that what I want for my twentieth birthday is cake like the ones from my parties when I was little. The ones you were supposed to decorate with lots of whipped cream and sprinkles, so whipped cream and sprinkles it is.


Today I’m not the only one who’s birthday it is, because my dog Luna is turning one year old today and she’s got a very large bone to celebrate. One she will be needing the entire day to finish.

Happy Birthday Luna!

Odds and Ends

Saturday I was standing in the market in my own village with a stall filled with many lovely bits and bobs from the store of my aunts and mothers. I was standing there together with my mother and because it was in our own village where my volunteer work is placed I was recognized by many children very enthusiastic.

Of course we had picked a very cold day to stand there and sell and even though I wore the warmest clothes I could find a was still very chilly. Feeling so cold that I couldn’t get warm anymore, not even when I was back home again, in front of the TV, under a blanket with a hot cup of tea in my hands.

But even though it was cold, I thought is was a perfect time to test me and my anxiety out and if my therapy has worked, because before I started therapy I used to help on markets as well. But back then I would constantly feel panicky the whole entire time and that would only increase when a customer came. I wasn’t capable to say more that yes and no, nothing else would get over my lips. I always wished for it to be over and for the costumers to leave, not really great if you want to sell. But this time I stayed calm, I would help customers if they needed help, chatted, spoke in full sentences and even enjoyed myself while I was there. So I think I can safely say there’s some difference and that therapy has worked.

A little about the store of my Aunts and mom. It’s a small store in the shopping center in Emmen (or a little outside, on the edge of the indoor center). They sell all sorts of bits and bobs that makes you wish you had more money to spend (even I do). Things store bought, but also things that are home made by themselves (like the pillows, blankets blackboards shaped like Amsterdam canal houses) and others like the jewellery, art and other things made by local artists. Things to decorate your home with and things you just want. And I’m not just saying this because I’m their daughter or niece, I do own a few things from there. It’s a unique place with unique things and their assortment is always changing.

So if you ever find yourself nearby Emmen in the Netherlands and fancy to come to a store called Odds and Ends, we would love to have you over. The address is:

Feel the fear and do it anyway

Today I wanted to share something that I have learned when I was in therapy and that I think it might help you too. It’s about fear and how not let it, live your life. Fear is only holding you back from living the life you like or/and deserve. The thing is, that it shouldn’t, because doing just that, the thing you're most afraid of, will give you the greatest rush you have ever had!

Of course at first you feel very anxious or perhaps even during, so much you consider not doing it to avoid, but after you have done exactly that you feel so strong.
You not only show the people who say you can’t that you can, but you also prove to yourself you can do it. And you know what? You are much stronger than you think you are, you have the ability to do more than you believe you can.

I just wanted to let you know that you are amazing and that you shouldn’t hold back because some says so or because you think you can't or are afraid to do so.

Busy weekend

Friday evening around eight o’clock we left home to head to our family weekend with my father's side of the family. Two nights we stayed there and mom forgot to bring the plugs of the airbed, so we had to come up with replacement for that. Luckily an uncle of mine thought of sticking some bamboo sticks in there. That did work, only my bed was a bit too hard and I was afraid that when I would leave a bit of air out I wouldn’t get the stick back in. So the nights of sleep in our little tent weren’t that comfortable and left me pretty tired when the weekend was over.


When we arrived all of them were watching soccer and cheering for the Netherlands, but as I’m not really that big of a fan of soccer, me and some others that weren’t either, went outside with some tea and enjoying the view we had.


At this very weekend I have surprised myself big time, normally this kind of weekend is a big trigger for my anxiety. I don’t see my family very often and it’s a big group of people all being very extrovert and well, I’m not. But I made conversations, had a laugh and really enjoyed myself, of course, there were times my anxiety was triggered. My cousin was interviewing me about my anxiety and gave me a task he thought was good for me, which made me feel very uncomfortable, but saying this to him was something I didn’t know how to, of course he was meaning well and probably didn’t know this was bothering me. I do really appreciate his thought and what he was trying to do, it's a very nice thought and I know he was trying to help, but it only made it worse that day.


Saturday we chatted some more, went to Sneek (which was fun, there was music and people dancing and performing), had a game of volley-ball and found out I suck at volleyball, I missed every ball I possibly could. In the evening we had a BBQ and filled ourselves with delicious chicken and both nights that we were there we sat by the fire, we went late to be and made early mornings.


Sunday morning we had to leave early, Eight o’clock to be precise, to get to another family day and this time the family on my mother's side. There we spend our day chatting, throwing water balloons and watching all the dogs play. We ended the day with some delicious dinner and said goodbye.


I had a splendid weekend, but I have a lot of sleep to catch.


Do any of you have these kind of weekends or days where you spent time with your entire family?

The Glion

 
Today I’m staying at my Granny and Granddad. They live in a high flat, almost at the top. On the lower floor, under the staircase, there lives a Glion. For who does not know a Glion, a Glion is a lion, but it’s lot’s bigger and has three heads. I’m always terrified to pass there, just imagine the Glion crabs me! And he will, the Glion, if I’m not too careful, he’s always hungry and looking for children to eat. That’s why I go the fastest that I can when I pass him, so he won’t get me.

In the living room down by Granny and Granddad there’s a very large clock ticking on the cabinet, and every now and then there sounds: Ding Dong, Dong Ding very loud through the living room. Now I’m sitting on the table watching Granddad playing a game of cards. I feel very bored, so I’m asking Granny if she has something to do for me, she always has and now she is taking me to her secret attic. It’s not really an attic, it’s a small hallway in their bedroom behind a small door, it has a low ceiling where I can’t even stand straight. If you go in there you will find all sorts of toys to play with, dolls, Barbie dolls, dollhouses, puzzles, drawing tools and lot’s more. Today I feel like drawing and so I take the drawing tools with me.

After we had dinner later that day, my tummy feels stuffed and Granny tells me to go to bed, even though I’m not tired yet, but I decided to listen. Granny tells me a bedtime story. I look around the room, in front of me there’s two picture frames with pictures of creepy gardens. I think there’re living witches in them. Outside there’s the sound of cars whiz by and in the cracks of curtain and walls you see their headlights flash. If Granny is done, telling the bedtime story she closes the book and kisses me Goodnight. With a pacifier in my mouth, my hands and one around me neck I feel sleep is coming. My eyelids are getting heavy and slowly they’re closing.

The sun comes through the cracks of curtain and wall, the sunlight shines in my eyes and it is waking me up. I’m blinking with me eyes and stretch my eyes, slowly my eyes get used to the light that comes from the window. I look through the room, for a moment I forgot where I am, but soon I remembered I was staying and my Grannies and Granddad's home.

Granny and I are going to feed the deer today. We will take a big bag full of old bread with us. First, we dress ourselves warmly and then we go outside to feed the deers. Through the door and down the stairs. But jus before I will pass the last bit of stairs, I listen carefully to the sound of the Glion and looking slow through the floor to check if the Glion is there. There he is, licking is large paws, waiting for a child to pass. I don’t want to become a prey to him, so I make myself ready to run as quick as I can, but carefully on my toes. I run down the stairs, I feel is hot like rotting meat smelling breath down my neck. “Quick Granny through the door before it get’s us!”. When me and Granny are outside I hear the beast roar loud and vicious. He’s angry and hungry, he hasn’t eaten for weeks I’ve heard.

The deers are enjoying the bread, they like it so much that it’s gone in no time, not leaving even a crumb behind.

When all the bread has been eaten, Granny and I are going back home. Once we stand in front of the flat again, I feel anxiety growing inside me, so before I will go in I look through the window to see if the Glion is awake and on the lurk, but I don’t see him. So I go inside, still no Glion to see, only it’s cave under the staircase. I approach the stairs, but then all of a sudden, the Glion! Out of his cave, a big roar sounds out of the head on the right side, he’s coming towards me, barring the way to the stairs, I’m scared! His big paws sway, though the air, a big thunderous roar sounds through the building, it makes all my bones shiver. His teeth form all the three heads shine right in front of me. A claw misses me by a hair, but not my dress and it rips, kgggggg. I can’t find a way out, I panic, where do I go? Then Granny walks in, just in time. Her entrance distracts the Glion and his three heads. Gives me just enough time to slip pass him and up the stairs, Granny is just behind me. Quick we go to the door, inside is where we will be saved.

Once Granny and I are inside she makes me a freshly squeezed orange juice without sheets, because I have been so brave today. Granddad is still playing, not knowing what has happened and we will keep it that way.

The Liebster Award

I’ve been nominated for the Liebster award by Hansen and Heidelberg over at their blog. I was so surprised and feel so privileged. For when you don’t know what the Liebster award is. The award is for lesser known bloggers by lesser known bloggers, to give them a spotlight and get their blogs circulated. And now it is my turn to nominate 11 blogs.

I have to admit that if I would have got nominated before the six months I went to therapy, I probably would have freaked out, get anxious, pretend that it never happened and avoid my blog for a while. But that’s changed and now I want to prove to me, it’s a good thing, fun to do and nothing bad will happen. And I did enjoy creating this post so much.

The Rules

1. You must link back to the person who nominated you.
2. You must answer the 11 questions given to you by the nominee before you.
3. You must list 11 random/fun facts about yourself.
4. You must pick 11 nominees with under 200 (or 2000 if you want to go with that) followers to answer your questions
5. You cannot nominate the person who nominated you.
6. You must let the people you nominate know they have been nominated


Here are the 11 questions that I answered


1. What is the reason behind your blog name?
The reason behind my blog name, well it does not have a special reason. I wanted to start blogging and therefore I needed a name, so I went and googled my name to find out what meaning were behind it and somehow I came to this flower Myrtaceae. I just loved the way this word/name looked and so I chose is as the name of my blog. (Not knowing how to pronounce it)
2. How long have you been blogging?
Technically, I started this blog around two years ago, but due to my anxiety I often chickened out and haven’t been blogging frequently. So I feel like I have been actually really started a blog a little over six months ago. Because I promised myself I wouldn’t let my anxiety get (as much) in the way anymore.
3. What do you enjoy and dislike about blogging?
What I enjoy about blogging, is brainstorming about what to write, that it has helped me a lot with dealing my anxiety because I have been very open here on my blog. I’m a person who boddles up most things, which doesn’t lead to happy places. Also, this is a place I feel I can be me and feel good about it, especially because I feel so proud of myself if I have posted another post again. What I dislike about it is that it’s something hard to post something when my anxiety is too much in the front, my blog is a place where this happens still often.
4. What does your blog focus on? (Lifestyle, DIY, beauty/fashion, nature, etc.)

I don’t feel I focus on a particular thing, but I often write lifestyle related posts. In the future, I would like to get a bit more focussed on fashion as well, I love clothes and making outfits and why not write about that, I already post hauls about the clothes to buy and I feel like this would be the next step.

5. If you could do anything as a profession for the rest of your life what would you do?

I would love to become a writer and write books. And I would love to be blogging as well about all the adventures I will have and all the places I’m going to see on the side, to keep me busy.
6. Why did you start blogging?
Before I was blogging, I read many blogs myself (I still do), and fell in love with the idea of blogging. I always loved to write, I always kept a diary on my holidays to write about all that happened. So I started my blog after I was graduated.
7. What’s something none of your readers know about you?

My blog has been a huge secret of mine, I was always too afraid to tell anyone, of course during my therapy I became a bit opener about it and told most people there that I was blogging. My parents know that I do it now as well, but none of them have taken a look on here, because I’m still afraid. I do have a big family as well and I still never told to them, I don’t feel that comfortable to talk about it either. And the fact that my cousin started a blog herself and doing very well, doesn’t exactly make it any easier, because I constantly compare my blog with her blog. I guess I’m very insecure when it comes to my blog, because I care much about it. I’m still working on this problem, because I don’t want this to be a secret I want to be able to talk about it and feel happy and proud about it, like the way that I do when I do not think so much about it.

8. If you could live anywhere, where would you live?

I think if I could live anywhere in the world, I would either live in England or Australia, because I think they’re both magnificent places and both speaking English, means I don’t have to learn a language extra to be able to live.
9. Favorite color?
At the moment I love red, I think I’m even obsessed with it. It’s always the first thing my eyes are drawn to and I feel very comfortable wearing it, something I do not often have with bright colours.
10. What could you eat every single day of the week without a second thought?
Pizza!! I love pizza and because of the many different toppings it wouldn’t be too bad eating it every single day.
11. What’s your guilty pleasure?
I find joy in watching Disney movies. The last one that I watched was the Tigger movie and I did this with great pleasure. But I don’t think watching Disney movies as an “adult” is something to feeling guilty of, lots of people do it, right?


11 facts about me


1. I love to watch and listen to the thunder and lightning
2. I have social anxiety
3. I was a quite imaginative child
4. There is something about triangles I can’t resist and I can’t explain why
5. I never liked cycling (I hated it), so I came to conclusion to start with cycle racing

Which means you have to cycle everyday “for fun”. I still don’t understand why and neither does anyone who knows me.

6. For about seven and a half years I have spent my weeks riding horses and I loved it

7. About two years ago I was doing break-dance (not that I was really good)

8. I was born in Dordrecht in the Netherlands.

9. I’ve never been drunk

10. I once dyed my hair black and whore my bangs in front of my eyes (they reached the bridge of my nose). My bangs were styled and sprayed with so much Hairspray I just needed one finger to lift it up like a hatch. “So pretty”

11. I never liked chips, which left me looking a bit weird at kids' parties when they served that (which kid doesn’t like chips).

Day Zero Update #1

The first three months of the day zero project have past, so it’s time for me to write my first update. I have not exactly achieved as many goals as I thought I would have in a period of 3 months, only two goals. And with one goal I’m not entirely pleased with one and of those none has been getting the money box, which means I have nowhere to put the € 4, - that I have earned. But to be fair the first two of the three months was the end of my therapy and at that time I had to do a lot before I was ready to leave it all behind. And that means that those months were consuming a lot of time and energy and left me barely anything to do other things. The week after I left I gave myself a little break/holiday to get me all energized again. But all of that is now behind me and from now on (at least until august) I have more time to achieve my goals and to be fully committed to do what I love most (blogging).

Let's start with the two goals I did achieve and then move on to the ones I have just been busy with.

78. Finish my therapy.
A few posts back I talked about my last day at therapy, this means I achieved this goal and earned € 2,-. If you would like to read more about this you can find here more about my anxiety and here to read about my last day.

15. Get a new profile picture.
As you might be able to tell I have changed my profile picture, but I’m not exactly happy with this picture so I will go ahead and look further and perhaps wait until I clear up a bit (my skin mostly). But for now; this goal is achieved.

17. 2 posts a week.
I started out doing this for a couple and weeks until my anxiety took over again and I stopped for a little while. But I got myself together again and took another start of this and will try to continue with this. Before I will accept this goal as achieved I need to have kept this going at least until the beginning of august and that is exactly what I want to be going at.

16. Share some writing I have made.
I have this particular story I wanted to put online for a whole lot of time, but before I can do this I will first have to translate it. And I have been putting that of constantly, perhaps because it is a lot of work and ofcourse because I’m pretty scared about what you would think, but I made a plan that I will start this tomorrow and will have the story up by the end of the week. The story is about me when I was around four years old and will be about the fantasy in which I lived. I won’t say anything else, so if you want to know more then you will have to wait until next week.

26. Every month a picture of myself (2/33).
The idea of this is that I will put all the pictures together and post them at the end of this project (or perhaps in-between as well) so I can see how much or little I have changed. I already took the pictures from April and May.

54. Bake 5 different muffins (2/5).
The first muffin you have seen come across here on my blog and I can tell you I loved it, it’s by far the best muffin I tasted so far. The second one was less of a success and I will not make them any time soon, the texture was dry. It was a banana berry one.

57. Make a custom recipe book.
Last year I got a blank recipe book to put all kinds of tasty recipes in them. And for the last five/six months I have been adding several recipes in it, also I’m on the hunt for some tasty and healthy budget recipes because it will not last long until I will start with my study and move out of my family home. And as a student, I won’t have a lot of money.

66. Read 100 books (3/100).
I read a little less than I normally did, mostly because the same reason I haven’t achieved many goals. The books that I have read all been a pleasure to read.

Uglies by Scott Westerfeld: I was exited to read this and it didn’t do under of my expectation, it’s about the future with one girl as the main character who is about to become pretty, but a newly made friend has an other thought and makes it a hell lot more difficult to achieve this. Her friend runs away and she is forced to go after her. If you would like to know the rest you should definitely read it too. It’s the first book in a series.
Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay: A book about a journalist who is doing research and write an article about  the Vel’ d’Hiv’ roundup, when she does that she finds out that in the house she is going to move has lived a ten year old girl who at the time was brutally arrested with her family by the French police. The women (journalist) get so fascinated by this girl that she tries to find out everything about her. The story had made me cry even in public (whilst on the train), I think it is a very good book.
The Diary of Miss Idilia by Genevieve Hill: A tragic love story that takes place during a holiday along the Rhine with the family of Miss Idilia. This book was over so quickly, it’s easy to read, it’s perhaps not the favourite of these three, but still a good book.

Searching for a summer jacket

1. Striped shirt, The Sting, € 15, -: I do not own that many staples where I can build my outfit on, so I thought it would be good to make a start of staples in my closet. And why not start with a striped shirt. I like the cut of this one in particular, It is a bit shorter than a normal shirt and I think it is flattering my body.

2. Basic black crop top, Zara, € 9,95: I saw this top hanging on the racks from Zara and thought it would be looking great with the skirt I bought earlier and because it is a pretty basic top I probably can find other things to wear it with as well. So I decided to buy it. Another thing I liked of this shirt is the fact that has a lower back.

3. Croptop/bralet, The Sting, € 15, -: I own a numerous see-through shirt's and nothing to wear underneath them, besides bras. And this would be perfect for that and of course it would be cute on its own and a skirt.

4. Top, Only, € 9,95: It’s light and therefore perfect for summer days and with that came that it was on sale!!

5. T-shirt, The Sting, € 19,95: I love the print of this shirt and that is what drawn me to it. It also helped I saw something similar in a magazine with a corset over it and I loved the look of it. It’s a bit quirky, but I don’t mind, I like quirky. So now the only thing left for me to do is find a corset.

6. Top, Stardust, € 18, -: My favourite store of whole Groningen and of course I couldn’t leave without buying something. This top is something from the years I do not remember. It’s one that you tie both in your neck as in the back, very simple and it think it would look cute with a white/red skirt.

7. Skirt, Stardust, € 12, -: I found this pencil skirt for only € 12, - and after I tried it on and it fitted I couldn’t leave it there. This skirt is where I talked about when telling about the basic black crop top from Zara, which would be perfect for the somewhat colder days of summer and can be worn during the autumn and winter months as well.

8. Summer jacket, The Sting, € 49,95: I didn’t own a jacket for summer and so I was forced to wear my winter jacket when it was a bit too cold to go without a jacket. So in need of my jacket I went to go shopping and this is what I found.

9. Shorts, Only, € 16,95: The sales technique of the saleswoman was great and she made me leave with matching shorts, not that I mind because there will be hot days I would love to wear some comfortable shorts. I do not plan on wearing the matching shirt and shorts together, it’s not really my cup of tea. But separately, they will be great.

10. Earrings, pieces, € 3,95: Due to my love for triangles and spotting these triangular earrings I could not resist on buying and taking them home. I already wore them out ones and I don’t think I’m pleased, it is not that I think it doesn’t look good, it just feels wrong wearing them, like I’m someone else. They are too big for my taste I discovered when I put them in my ears.

May favourites

Notebook:

In this small notebook I’ve written everything positive and all of my successes to for the last six months. The reason I did this was that it is supposed to help me to be more positive and less pessimistic, and I would always aspect the worst case scenario. So for a huge pessimist as I am this was a really difficult to do. I felt that I should feel or have to agree with what have been going right or the compliments that I got, of course I never did. But after a while I stepped over this problem and start writing everything down that happened right, that I liked or the compliments that I got for the day even though it didn’t quite feel right. Now that I have done this for the six months of therapy I noticed I have become more positive, more open, but then I could just be everything that I have learned together to achieve this state. Not that I am now the most positive person, some of the pessimist will always stay behind, it now won’t hold me back as much as I used to do.

Cart:

Around two weeks ago I said goodbye and left therapy (with only a few trainings left to follow). When saying your goodbye it is a tradition that your group makes you a card with some good wishes and pictures that suit your personality. Of course I have been curious about what my card would look like for almost the entire time I’ve been there, and I love it. The messages the left for me have been so sweet and great that it put an instant smile on my face when I was reading them.

Muffin:

This has been a favourite of mine since the first time I’ve made them. The reason I put them in this monthly favourites is because I have made them when I had my goodbye and I could eat them again and have been enjoying so. If you would like to make these too, which I recommend you because it’s really delicious, especially the crust, you can see the recipe here.
