I’m not often rendered speechless, but that’s exactly what happened to me on our trip to <a href="https://www.kinderdijk.com/discover/the-story/unesco-world-heritage/" target="_blank">Kinderdijk</a>, a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring windmills from the 1740s.</div>

After a successful, sunny day of eating, walking, shopping and general happiness in Rotterdam, PJ took me to <a href="https://www.kinderdijk.com/" target="_blank">one final place</a> that I haven’t scratched off of my personal map. Being a bit of a windmill buff himself (I say buff, I mean expert), he was quite proud to show off his knowledge of the area’s existence.<br />

Arriving precisely at golden hour made the experience even more magical, and gave us the opportunity to amble down the middle walkway and along the water at our own leisure, with 19 windmills at the edge of either side of the water. We had the added luxury of arriving late enough to skip an entry fee and the mass of tourists that make their way <a href="https://www.holland.com/global/tourism/destinations/provinces/south-holland/the-windmills-of-kinderdijk.htm" target="_blank">through the mills</a> in the middle of the day. </div>

With the blooming wildflowers and the sun hitting the mills and the water just right, it was a magical sight that I didn’t realize I’d been waiting to see for my entire time in this region of Europe.<br />

I can highly recommend taking the time to drive/ride/cycle/walk out to seeing this extra-Dutch area if you’re around. It’s a stereotypical idea of what the Netherlands looks like, but it’s a real view of the countryside that you’ll never forget.<br />
<br />
Here's hoping for more beautiful adventures this spring!<br />

Okay, I know this version is a day late, but that's because I turned 29 this weekend (and consequently had a lot of naps to recover my strength over the last few days...)!<br />
<br />
It's been a bit of a whirlwind since Thursday - I got promoted on Thursday, PJ got some great news Friday, I went out for my first real St. Patrick's celebration in Gent at Patrick Foley's with new friends, and then had the <b>most relaxing</b> actual birthday of my 20s.<br />
<br />
A few other highlights along the way...<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>I made some <a href="http://blog.ingredientmatcher.com/recipe-no-bake-swedish-chocolate-balls-chokladbollar/" target="_blank">Swedish chocolate balls</a> for my colleagues on Friday and tried a new recipe with different ingredient measurements, and they were my best yet.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.asos.com/only/only-sui-cropped-rip-skinny-jeans/prd/11080216?ctaRef=my%20orders" target="_blank">These jeans from Only</a> will be my spring essential. I got them one size larger than my regular (since that's all they had left), but I really like the shape they create on my frame with a bit more room in them.<br />
<br />
I ran out of my Pixi Glow Tonic and thought I'd replace it with The Ordinary <a href="https://www.asos.com/the-ordinary/the-ordinary-glycolic-acid-7-toning-solution/prd/8206150?ctaRef=my%20orders" target="_blank">Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution</a> and I am <i>extremely</i> pleased with it. I thought my face was clean before but the amount of shit that comes off my face with this is ridiculous.<br />
<br />
You gotta wear green on my birthday (though let me be clear - there is not a single cell in my body that is Irish), and this <a href="https://www.asos.com/vila/vila-spotty-collarless-blouse/prd/11404602?ctaRef=my%20orders" target="_blank">beautiful Vila number</a> did the trick!<br />
<br />
On Saturday I popped into Zara and picked up the <a href="https://www.zara.com/be/en/faux-suede-bermuda-skort-p04387036.html?v1=8474748&v2=1180562" target="_blank">suede version</a> of one of my favourite skorts and this <a href="https://www.zara.com/be/en/dotted-mesh-dress-p02540203.html?v1=9988130&v2=1180355" target="_blank">perfect black spring dress</a> that's secretly a playsuit! The sleeves - I die.<br />
<br />
On Sunday, PJ took me to a great Italian restaurant in Gent called <a href="http://www.perbacco.be/NL/Menukaart.php" target="_blank">Per Bacco</a> - we had a starter of sparkling red wine with Italian meats and cheese, I had lamb ragout pasta while PJ had a guinea fowl dish (he translated it to fancy chicken - haha!), and we finished it off with an amazing dessert platter. Our favourite was the sheep ricotta gelato - oh. my. God. 10/10 would recommend.<br />

<br />
We then went to see Captain Marvel with the cosy seats, and I was thoroughly entertained.<br />
<br />
And my final present to myself: I've been looking for the perfect, solid gold signet pinky ring for AGES and I finally found one that won't overwhelm my little hands. Thank you, Stone and Strand, for this <a href="https://www.net-a-porter.com/be/en/product/1130748/STONE_AND_STRAND/alphabet-mini-pinky-gold-ring-" target="_blank">mini pinky ring</a>.<br />

I love Burt’s Bees products, but they can be a bit hard to find in Belgium. I can order them off of Feel Unique, but I like to pick things up rather than look at them online. I was very happy to discover the <a href="https://www.burtsbees.com/face-care-guide" target="_blank">Face Care Guide</a> link to see what the best products for my specific needs would be. </div>

I am 100% influence-able and after seeing this on<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>every Instagrammer’s stories</i>, and being a blonde myself, I had to give this blonde shampoo a try.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Oh man - what a week! Valentine's day dinner was delish, I got some great news on Friday (see my last love), I officially joined my floorball team, and spring is finally here (though while I love the warmth, it's unnerving that it was 60 degrees in the middle of February)! That, and it's officially one month until I turn 29. Last week had its ups and downs, but I'm glad that everything happened. </span></div>
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am obsessed with bury a friend by Billie Eilish. It'</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">s like Lourde and Regina Spektor combined into an amazing sound. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Laneige everything! I tried a sample box of their overnight line and am obsessed. Wow. It’s been about a week and I’ll be repurchasing full sizes as soon as my samples are done. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A tiny bit of stretching each night has given me a bit less morning misery when I wake up after my weeks of much harder exercise. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The pigeons are back in the tree outside our place. I don't particularly like them, but they truly are the first sign of spring for us here in Gent. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Those colour-block leather slingback that I mentioned last week? They’re perfect. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I scored a few goals in one of my innebandy/floorball scrimmages last week, and I feel like I’m already improving!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">THIS piece of magic. I LOVE this <a href="https://www.bol.com/nl/p/babyliss-sensite-as545e-fohnborstel/9200000096395139/?Referrer=ENTcli_order_confirmation2008093611" target="_blank">hot air set from BaByliss.</a> I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to discover the wonder that is light, fluffy, slightly styled hair. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It’s been an expensive month, but I’m highly considering this <a href="https://www.asos.com/brave-soul/brave-soul-harris-jumper-with-balloon-sleeves/prd/11559835?CTARef=Saved%20Items%20Image" target="_blank">perfect spring sweater</a>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And now for the big one…I’ve been going to speech therapy for about a month to fix the way I speak and use my tongue. It’s been described as ‘infantile’, but we can already tell there’s a huge difference!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Alongside that, for my insurance to cover my speech therapy I also have to fix a bite issue. So, tomorrow evening I’m getting fitted for my Invisalign trays! My dentist emailed me on Friday to let me know they were ready. She has been amazing and I'm so happy to have her treating me. I only have 22 sets and will be changing weekly, so fingers crossed it goes by fast and painlessly. Perfect teeth and speech, here I come!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hopefully next week I’ll be saying that clearly and not lisping with a mouth full of plastic ;)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Another week in the early part of the year, another week of early bedtimes and restless nights.

<br />
This week has been long. It's honestly hard to believe that we only got back from <a href="http://www.suzandthesun.com/2019/01/paperless-post-pj-grad.html" rel="" target="_blank">celebrating PJ's graduation</a> in London on Tuesday because it feels like it's been a lifetime since then.<br />
<br />
So. I've been thinking, and there are way too many things in my brain to be able to recount them to you, my friends, my colleagues, my boyfriend - even Hobson! Thus, I've decided to start up a new series (inspired by Grace Atwood's <a href="https://thestripe.com/2019/02/weekend-reading-2-2-19/" target="_blank">weekend reading</a>) on the things I've loved this week. I hope you enjoy. A small disclaimer - I know my tastes aren't everyone's cup of tea/coffee/wine/whatever, but I like what I like and, as someone who blogs, I love to share.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
I picked up this <a href="https://eu.feelunique.com/p/Maybelline-The-Colossal-Big-Shot-Tinted-Primer-01-Black-95g" target="_blank">tinted mascara primer</a> on Monday and was so presently surprised that I enjoyed wearing it by itself.<br />
<br />
I just finished (like 5 minutes ago) Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and it was easily my favourite series finale episode ever. I know some people don't like it, but it's such a nice, lighthearted series that lets me take my mind off of other things.<br />
<br />
Speaking of other things, I also finished You this week and consider me terrified of everyone now. Wow. Kudos to Penn Badgley for <a href="https://www.vulture.com/2019/01/you-penn-badgley-creepy-dreamboat.html" target="_blank">playing that crazy part so well</a> (and not defending his character's <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/24/arts/television/penn-badgley-you-netflix.html" target="_blank">actions on Twitter)</a>.<br />
<br />
I started playing floorball again! After my first foray back into it on Saturday in London, I mustered up the courage to meet a shit ton of new people and play with a bunch of guys who are way better than me. My legs were dead, but I felt like I did fairly well for my first time in a while. I did get one major high-sticking call, but they were pretty impressed with my control of the ball in the air, soooo I'll not too upset about it.<br />
<br />
I took up the Kondo method without watching her Netflix show once, though I did read this <a href="https://www.buzzfeed.com/rachelwmiller/best-marie-kondo-tidying-organization-tips" target="_blank">BF article</a>. I hate watching people clean - it makes me feel extremely guilty since I just don't have that need for my place to be spotless in me. I didn't get the gene - sorry Mom. But it did make me feel better so I definitely understand why people use it.<br />
<br />
I started listening to <a href="https://www.myfavoritemurder.com/" target="_blank">My Favorite Murder </a>religiously and I feel like Georgia and Karen are my best older friends that will keep me young forever. Fun fact - they talk about my aunt in an episode! Another fun fact - they're not very kind to her (she wasn't a murderer, I promise) so I won't be divulging the episode number here.<br />
<br />
Started following a couple new Instagrammers recently: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/zoelaz/" target="_blank">ZoeLaz</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/haylsa/" target="_blank">Haylsa</a> for some inspiring imagery and beautiful editing. Love it.<br />
<br />
And finally, today I read this <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/news/politics/2012/08/marie-colvin-private-war" target="_blank">incredible Vanity Fair feature</a> on the life and unfortunate death of war correspondent Marie Colvin, the subject of A Private War, the new film starring Rosamund Pike. After reading, I'd love to see it.<br />
<br />
What have you been loving this week? Leave me a comment (especially if it includes links or recs to new articles/podcasts/shows/movies)!<br />

Let's clear things up first: I loooooove snail mail. But I’m also extraordinarily bad at 1) buying international stamps 2) going to the post office and, most importantly 3) writing. I have the handwriting of a 7-year-old. It’s so chicken-scratchy that my manager once gasped with a slight chuckle the first time she saw my handwriting in person. I also tend to feel pretty guilty when I consider the environmental costs of sending a tiny piece of cardboard across the ocean to my friends. </div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
<br /></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
So, needless to say, I was thrilled when <a href="https://www.paperlesspost.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Paperless Post</a> reached out to me to try their service. Though I’ve dabbled with Paperless Post before, I had only ever used the free option for flyers and received a few Save the Dates from friends. But, spoiler alert, I can fully see myself using it for any invites I might need to send out when the time is right. Reducing my carbon footprint and sending beautiful mail is a combination I can easily get behind. </div>

The stationary lover in me was thrilled. <a href="https://www.paperlesspost.com/cards/section/online-cards" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">So. Many. OPTIONS</a> to choose from, and zero necessary reasons to leave the comfort of my living room (or my dog) and head into the January cold to send out cards for the new year. We just for our second snow of the season so I'm especially feeling this way today. </div>

It also happened to be the time when we were preparing for PJ’s graduation ceremony from <a href="https://www.kcl.ac.uk/index.aspx" target="_blank">KCL</a>, and while he’s actually the person I’m most likely to buy a real, paper card for, he’s the least likely to keep them on display for more than two days.<br />
<br />
Luckily we have plenty of digital memories to keep - his graduation was great. </div>

First, you choose exactly what type of mail you want to send out - they have flyers, save the dates, greeting cards, invitations - anything you could want, for any reason. I chose to go for the obvious (this time) and scoured the graduation greeting card options before ultimately settling on <a href="https://www.paperlesspost.com/cards/category/congratulations-cards?page=2&card=7401" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">one from the congratulations</a> section. </div>

We received tickets to The Lion King in the West End for Christmas during this little London excursion, so I was more than excited to find this appropriately themed card. Then came the backdrop, envelope liner, and response card options - you’ll forgive me for now showing off my personal message to my favourite graduate. Some sentimental secrets need to be kept!</div>

Of course, I wanted to send it immediately so I could see his reaction to my handiwork but thought he may like the surprise of receiving it as he prepares to cross the stage even more than I’d like to see him get it, so I was extremely happy to discover the scheduling feature. A girlfriend’s gotta do what she’s gotta do sometimes, you know? And I was right - he adored it and I was so happy to get to congratulate him in multiple ways throughout the day!<br />

Everyone knows it - my best friend's mom asked me my newest preferences at her daughter's wedding this summer; a college friend asked me if I was still obsessed with making my lashes as black and long as possible, and it had been 5 years since we'd seen each other (my bad!).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSZ3WzJhYXUaCIbrBBES97sWyyhgSFk-FVu6EGnLIQn2dGYwVPn5RX6b8JJX7GirE2d8zEPOYUjGtKwq2dY4nknu88YWjxHpkdx5_glgZMoIKfG4bqn6kMM2wwuQy_ic6exsyTBYTfqAU/s1600/maybelline-snapscara-review.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="maybelline-snapscara-review" border="0" data-original-height="538" data-original-width="456" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSZ3WzJhYXUaCIbrBBES97sWyyhgSFk-FVu6EGnLIQn2dGYwVPn5RX6b8JJX7GirE2d8zEPOYUjGtKwq2dY4nknu88YWjxHpkdx5_glgZMoIKfG4bqn6kMM2wwuQy_ic6exsyTBYTfqAU/s1600/maybelline-snapscara-review.png" title="" /></a></div>

<br />
My <a href="https://www.maybelline.com/eye-makeup/mascara/volum-express-the-colossal-cat-eyes-washable-mascara" target="_blank">favourite mascara</a> isn't sold in Belgium so I've been on the hunt for something that's more easily accessible for this Belgium-based lash lover.<br />
<br />
Thus, I was extremely happy, and surprised, to find the new <a href="https://www.maybelline.com/eye-makeup/mascara/snapscara-washable-mascara" target="_blank">Maybelline Snapscara</a> at a decent price in Au Chan in Lille (for some reason, France is always the best place for beauty buys in this region). As an avid social media user, I had of course seen Maybelline's <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BsIlkB1AL8V/" target="_blank">posts</a> and ads for this with Gigi, and I can't say that I was particularly impressed. But mascara is one of the things that I'm always willing to try so into my basket it went!<br />
<br />
I waited just 12 hours before trying this, and I was gobsmacked. The formula has no wax so it's nice and smooth, but I worried that all it would be to my fine, blonde lashes would be to colour them. But this baby makes it look like I'm wearing falsies, with no clumps, and it doesn't flake at all, with no need to reapply before a night out, though it does layer well.<br />
<br />
My point? If you're a mascara lover, try this. I like my lashes thick, curled, and black, and this helps me check off every need on my list.<br />
<br />
Have you given it a go? Let me know your favourite mascara!<br />

Now that I've had some time to decompress and get back into the regular swing of things, I can very easily say that my favourite parts of Marrakesh were the rooftop views from each area of the city. Jemaa El-Fna square from Café de France and Café L'Ancien, the view of/from our riad (and a bonus tour picture from Bahia Palance of yours truly and PJ); all were greatly enjoyed with a seat in the sun and some sort of drink in hand - usually mint tea or a cappuccino. Our riad also served alcohol, so we treated ourselves to a bottle of Sahara Reserve. </div>

To celebrate 6 years together, PJ and I travelled to a place we'd never been before - Marrakesh! It came about in a pretty funny away: we were searching for a good November location and each thought that the other wouldn't be interested in a trip to Morocco until we finally brought it up over a glass of wine...and so we booked a trip back to the same continent where we met in 2012!<br />
<br />
After countless Pinterest searches and endless travel blogs, I thought I was well prepared for the absolute chaos that is Marrakesh. From the motorcycles, horses and donkeys winding their ways through narrow souk alleys, to the call to prayer sounding from mosques all around the city, and the madness of Jemaa El-Fnaa Square with its monkey handlers, ever-changing food stalls and snake charmers; with all of that hustle and bustle, and the rush of tourists each way you looked, I can assure you that I was definitely not prepared.<br />
<br />
But even amongst the chaos, you can easily find moments of calm. The sunsets over the square once we'd found refuge at a panoramic cafe or the roof of our riad, the soothing smells of our incredible hammam, and the little corners of buildings that you could think about living in forever.<br />
<br />
And though it's impossible to capture every aspect of a city with pictures, here's the jumble of images with which I left Marrakesh (in addition to a magnet, straw bag, pair of sandals and argan oil in my hand baggage. I am a shopper, after all):<br />

Marrakesh surprised me - not always in the best ways - but I'm so happy that we got to experience this incredible and intense city.<br />

Have you been to Marrakesh or other parts of Morocco? What surprised you?<br />

<span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">This weekend we had such a nice time exploring Boulogne-sur-Mer. I’m not entirely sure what inspired our trip there, but we got talking and immediately decided it was the perfect Autumn weekend destination because 1) the sea and 2) the AQUARIUM IS NO JOKE. We could’ve stayed in there for hours. It’s the type of place that I wish you could bring a bottle of wine and just enjoy the scenery. Like an underwater sunset. But not wet. And with no light. So nothing like that at all, really…</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">We arrived Friday night (after listening to <a href="https://www.southernnightmare.com/" target="_blank">Southern Nightmare</a> on the way - super interesting but the first four episodes were also<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>super depressing). Because we know they allow dogs and we’re not fussy at all, we stayed in the <a href="https://www.booking.com/hotel/fr/ibis-boulogne-sur-mer-centre-les-ports.en-gb.html?aid=1288280;label=metagha-link-localuniversalBE-hotel-569029_dev-desktop_los-1_bw-5_dow-Sunday_defdate-1_room-0_lang-en_curr-EUR_gstadt-2_rateid-0_aud-623098870_cid-85;sid=d7c74d857bd9bd66681270e9eca94c7e;all_sr_blocks=56902902_94493391_0_2_0;checkin=2018-10-28;checkout=2018-10-29;dest_id=-1414201;dest_type=city;dist=0;group_adults=2;hapos=1;highlighted_blocks=56902902_94493391_0_2_0;hpos=1;room1=A%2CA;sb_price_type=total;srepoch=1540323039;srfid=b41ed1b2700bff186577b0632190b502e7f0247aX1;srpvid=22ed892f62770156;type=total;ucfs=1&#hotelTmpl" target="_blank">Ibis</a> just a few minutes walk from the city centre, and about 15 minutes from <a href="https://www.nausicaa.co.uk/" target="_blank">Nausicaa</a>.

No complaints here, most of my favourite nights are spent with PJ, Hobson and a glass of something good, chatting about everything and nothing all at once. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">On Saturday morning we took a beautiful walk through the town, stopping to admire the Saturday market and loaves of bread that were about as big as my torso, and definitely bigger than our tiny boy. We romped around the ramparts of the old town, enjoying the little streets, an installation of sculptures inspired by 16th-century poetry and fables by <span style="background-color: white;">Jean de La Fontaine (like the city mouse and the country mouse). </span></span></div>

Much like the ocean, I also have a slight fear of aquariums. I always have that moment where my life flashes before my eyes and the glass cracks and all the water rushes out and the sharks devour me. A fairly active imagination, I know. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial;">But man, this place. It was recently renovated and reopened. Split into two sections, the first takes you around one extremely large tank, with different viewing stations and information guiding you along. But once you get to the large view, it’s truly like a window into the depths. We made friends with some sharks and tiny fish and kept telling ourselves that we would watch one of the eagle rays pass “just one more time”. I’m certain they glided by us over 10 times before we finally moved to the second section. </span></div>

So, overall, 10/10 would recommend visiting this little town for a relaxed weekend of good food, sunny terraces, and hours among our under-the-water friends. Just don't be like PJ and ask why they aren't selling seafood in the aquarium. In there, fish are friends, not food. </div>

The city has had different mural artists come in over the last couple of years to give the city a little bit of art on its walls; the whole project is called the </span><a href="http://www.thecrystalship.org/site/" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12px;" target="_blank">Crystal Ship</a><span style="font-family: "helveticaneue"; font-size: 12px;">.

Oh heLLO beautiful!<br />
<br />
I mean, I'm talking initially about <a href="https://www.zara.com/be/en/patchwork-print-blouse-p07969674.html?v1=6918642&v2=1074623" target="_blank">the blouse</a> but that model is a beaut too.<br />
<br />
I won't lie, I had an "Is this cute or ugly?" moment when I first saw this. I mean, the blue to the brown, the shoulders, the print - I wasn't sold when I first picked it up.<br />
<br />
But then I put it <b>on</b>.<br />
<br />
It was love at first on-my-bod sight.<br />
<br />
I don't know what it is specifically that I love most about this. The fabric is gorgeous and extremely lightweight, I really love how the shoulders sit on my own (I can tell now that my posture exercises are actually working), it tucks perfectly, the buttons are just the right size.<br />
<br />
Then I had the ever-present do I <i>need</i> this, or do I just want it? Well let me tell you how hard I justified this purchase in my head with my "I don't have anything like this, especially in these colours, and the structure is so cool, and it's a perfect length for my tiny-person torso..." and on and on and my inner monologue kept going - even longer than this horrific run-on, if you can imagine.<br />
<br />
So I did it. I went straight to the register, paid for my new love, went home, (had a nap), and wore this bad girl out to a taco dinner date.<br />
<br />
It was perfect. So perfect, I didn't even snap a picture of my outfit in the mirror before I left. But, 10/10 would wear again with nice jeans, which are basically the only pants I wear anyway.<br />
<br />
I'm fully in love and not afraid to shout it from the rooftops.<br />

I’m not going to lie - I was a horrible grump this past Friday. I worked all day, got an email I didn’t like and became tired before we even left the house. And I always have this expectation about me being happy <i>all the damn time. </i>But, despite my contradicting mood I soldiered on (and got a mini-lecture from PJ on not letting shit affect me the way that it sometimes can, but such is my life as an over-thinker & dreamer with a real knack for cynicism).</div>

<div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
Keen to make the most of the evening without letting my mood destroy it, we did what we do best (and what we’re currently doing now): found the best spot in the area, had a drink and watched the world go by, which is far funnier when the world in front of you is full of 110,000 drunk people. </div>

PSA - if you don’t know about the Gentse Feesten, it’s a 10-day arts & culture festival taking place at venues all over the city. In the evening, it becomes a city-wide party, with concerts, DJs and rivers of Belgian beer flowing from every tap the city can handle. </div>

We’ve been here pretty often when it’s open. This little pop-up makes the best pizza in town, has a great forest-vibe setup, and sits next to water across from a few bars. Perfect people watching material. Can highly recommend the cava over the wines here.<br />

Because we hadn’t properly celebrated PJ’s (most likely) passing of his exams, we went for the 3-glass tasting menu: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier.

Top tips for the grumpy girl:</div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12px; text-size-adjust: auto;">
<ol>
<li>Take a jacket. Euro summers are great, but this is Belgium. There’s a 99% chance you’ll be cold at night</li>
<li>Don’t wear white or shoes you like. You’ll probably have beers thrown on you. Whether accidental or on purpose is dependent on the situation. Again, Belgium. </li>
<li>Figure out how you’re getting home ahead of time. I’ll never condone drunken cycling (esp. since you get a hefty fine), and taxis/buses/trams can be hard to come by. If you’re close enough - walk. It’ll help you sober up if you choose to imbibe. </li>
<li>Don't be grumpy. Take a shot of tequila if you can to get out of your funk. Would have served me (but not my head) well on Friday night. </li>
</ol>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hope you have a good Gentsefeesten this year, and that you're in a far better mood to enjoy. </div>

I went into town <b>way</b> too early for a haircut yesterday, and after a Starbucks pick-me-up in order to make it to opening times, I popped into Zara to take advantage of the zero people inside the store. I've had my eye on <a href="https://www.zara.com/be/en/striped-swimming-trunks-p00594042.html?v1=6028552&v2=398505" target="_blank">this suit</a> for ages and finally had the patience to try it on. I tried on <a href="https://www.zara.com/be/en/printed-swimming-trunks-p05410201.html?v1=6453405&v2=398505" target="_blank">this printed number</a> on as well, and while I loved it, the prospect of accidentally flashing people would definitely be high, so I decided to go for the safer (and cuter) option.<br />
<br />
Now we just need a warm holiday planned ASAP.<br />

Until next time.<br />

It's almost the end of Feb, so obviously I'm dreaming of sunshine and warmer temperatures. BUT I live in Belgium, so my blue-sky hopes are usually dashed on the daily. A girl can dream though, right? I mean, I am a Pisces.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That being said, since birthday month is almost upon us, I decided to do a little order from one of my first full-blown shopping loves: Forever 21. I tend to try and stick to the Contemporary line or basics, and I could easily insert the standard Devil Wears Prada reference about the theme of my more unique picks, buuuuuuut I won't, cause now you're thinking about it anyway. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm extremely happy with the purchases I made. I'll be happier when I can wear them (and when my current sinus infection clears up), but a girl in Ghent can't be too picky. </div>

I actually did wear the boxy blouse last weekend when I was out to lunch with PJ - a mistake, because we had chicken satay and I had to wear my coat over it to ensure that no sauce splattered, but I was really impressed with this shirt for the price. It's slightly sheer, so I wore it with a cute black lace bralette underneath, with the front tucked into some black skinnies, and some low-hanging gold jewels to draw the eye down towards the buttons. The BUTTONS! I love them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The main reason for my venture back into buying from Forever was <i>that</i> denim jacket. I am seriously obsessed with it and the moment I put that on my body, Spring will have officially begun. Granted, in this country that could be in June but I'll take a vacation to somewhere warmer if I need to. I'm that desperate to wear it. Maybe my birthday will suddenly grant me a spectacular day and I'll be able to throw it on at least once in the next few weeks. </div>

Did you ever go somewhere and fall in love at first sight? That’s how I feel about Bordeaux.<br />
<br />
We initially only stopped in the city so that we could rest for an evening in - what we’d heard was - a beautiful city before the final leg of our road trip down to Spain. I had no idea that it would become one of my favourite cities in Western Europe in about 0.8 seconds. Because we loved it so much, we actually decided to give it two more nights of exploration on our way back to (rainy) Belgium, this time with my brother and cousin in tow.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s76.photobucket.com/user/suzilndqst/media/Suz%20and%20the%20sun/Bordeaux%20December%2016%20and%2028-29/bordeaux-church_zpskdnqxjlh.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt="bordeaux-france-photo-Cathédrale-Saint-André-2017" border="0" src="https://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j31/suzilndqst/Suz%20and%20the%20sun/Bordeaux%20December%2016%20and%2028-29/bordeaux-church_zpskdnqxjlh.png" title="" /></a>
<br />
<br />
Our first afternoon consisted of walking around with Hobson, checking out Avenue Saint-Catherine, and sampling a few glasses of Bordeaux red at Cafe Edouard. Obviously, I’m a shopper and became immediately intrigued by the idea of a mile-long shopping street. Chaotic, but right up my metaphorical alley.<br />
<br />
On our second trip, I found a good tip for food across the river from the center, or where we were staying, at a really interesting restaurant called <a href="http://magasingeneral.camp/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Magasin Général</a> - lots of nice bio food. I wish we had made our reservation for a time when everything else in the area was open, but alas - an 8.30 dinner was what we had in store, and a glass of red wine with my steak tartare was just what the doctor ordered for our walk back across the river.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s76.photobucket.com/user/suzilndqst/media/Suz%20and%20the%20sun/Bordeaux%20December%2016%20and%2028-29/bordeaux-magasin-general-wine_zpswkwhqbd4.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt="bordeaux-magasin-general-wine-restaurant-2017" border="0" src="https://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j31/suzilndqst/Suz%20and%20the%20sun/Bordeaux%20December%2016%20and%2028-29/bordeaux-magasin-general-wine_zpswkwhqbd4.png" title="" /></a><br />
<br />
The next day was a lot of eating pastries, drinking coffee, walking through Jardin Public to the mini Statue of Liberty ('A surprise for the 3 Americans', according to PJ) and then shopping, shopping, shopping. Bordeaux is apparently one of the rainiest places in France, according to a very cool tourist map we consulted, but we luckily only had the rain for about 30 minutes in the morning. In the evening we ventured out again for food, but we unluckily chose the busiest time so we had to 'settle' for Greek, though it was delicious.<br />
<br />
Before I get on to more photos, here are some must visit addresses for your trip to Bordeaux:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.boulangeriejocteur.com/bordeaux.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">La Boulanger de l'Hotel de Ville Jocteur</a> - the above mentioned bakery - the best I've ever been to<br />
<a href="http://magasingeneral.camp/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Magasin Général</a> - for a luxe meal that you can feel good about<br />
<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BcxleHqlzC6/?taken-by=suzilndqst" target="_blank">Miroir d'Eau</a> - we were lucky that we actually got to see it on our first visit. This water mirror was unfortunately all dried up at the end of December<br />
<a href="https://www.edouard-bordeaux.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Le Bistro d'Edouard</a> - a Hobson-approved cute little resto on Place du Parlement; our waiter was very happy to have a little dog on their terrace<br />
<a href="http://www.fifty-luxe.fr/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Fifty</a> - the <i>coolest</i> luxury vintage store near our favourite bakery. The shop-owner is extremely charming and helpful. If I could have, I would have spent a <b>lot</b> more money instead of just buying the Italian leather boots I'm still obsessing over. Absolute must-visit for vintage lovers.<br />
<a href="http://aux4coinsduvin.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Aux Quatre Coins du Vin</a> - Okay, I know these types of wine bars aren't extremely new, but I hadn't experienced one up until this point. You get a card worth €30 that allows you to get a glass of wine of your choosing from any of the machines within. You can choose a tasting size, half or full glass, and the price you pay reflects your choice. Whatever you spend, you pay - the card won't stop you from getting more. But be careful, there are a few <b>very pricey</b> glasses available1 My personal favourite was the Gabriëlskloof Syrah<br />
<br />

<br />
I honestly can't wait to visit this city in the warmer months and for a bit longer; I wouldn't mind a visit to the City of Wine and maybe some vineyards in the surrounding area. My best friend and I are already planning a return. Croissants and a beautiful glass of red - I'm ready for you.<br />
<br />
If you have any other addresses for me to keep in mind, please let me know!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
This past Friday, my best dude treated me to an <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BdlFvQ0F9tC/?taken-by=suzilndqst" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">incredible small concert</a> at <a href="http://www.zebrawoods.be/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Zebrawoods</a> by School Is Cool, AKA a forerunner for favourite new band of the last few months. The set was amazing, their sounds is fun and just as good live as on their record. I found myself bopping about to literally every song. It did help that PJ kept saying the songs were about us (or we were the opposite of the lyrics - esp. for I'm Not Fine), and we let our love of the show take over most of our wine and beer filled conversation at Wilson for a few hours after. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All I can say is that my Spotify will be playing them on repeat for the next few weeks (it was all I listened to while sale-shopping yesterday). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
November was....a TON of fun. I spent my 5-year anniversary with my main man in London (anniversary dinners at Duck & Waffle <b>and </b>Clos Maggiore?!), saw Queens of the Stone Age, saw some of my extended family, and of course did quiiiiiite a bit of Christmas shopping on Oxford Street...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Not only that, but Black Friday sales have officially made their way to Belgium, too. I obviously had to partake (if only slightly), and picked up a few tiny goodies for myself.<br />

I have to say, going shopping in London this time really flipped a switch in my brain - I've been really eager to step out of my comfort zone since returning. It may not seem like it (considering the t-shirts, sweatshirt, and general colour scheme), but I actually have been a bit more daring since returning.<br />
<br />
I can't wait to get some good wearing out of my new buys - I'll admit that the sweatshirt has spent more days on my than off since the 17th...<br />
<br />
One thing that hasn't changed? My love of being cosy at home - hence the purchase of this little <a href="https://m.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/dino-dog-hottie-7050022" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">dino dog hottie</a>!<br />

<br />
I'm in love. Hobson is jealous. My feet are warm either way - happiness is a warm puppy.<br />
<br />
Hope you had a great November - with as much love as mine.<br />

<span style="font-family: "helveticaneue"; font-size: 12px;">I feel like everyone says this, but October</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-family: "helveticaneue"; font-size: 12px;"> </span><b style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12px;">flew<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b><span style="font-family: "helveticaneue"; font-size: 12px;">by. I honestly can’t believe it’s November. Not that I mind, per se - this month I get to celebrate my 5-year anniversary with my best guy in one of my favourite cities in the world: London. An added bonus? My brother, parents, aunt and uncle (the very latter of whom I haven’t seen since 2013) will also be in town, and we have some</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-family: "helveticaneue"; font-size: 12px;"> </span><i style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; font-size: 12px;">plans.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></i><span style="font-family: "helveticaneue"; font-size: 12px;">I’m looking forward to dinners and a concert with Peej, shopping with my mom, coffees and walks with my dad in his old city (he lived in LDN for 11 years) and reuniting with family that I don’t get to see often. </span><br />

BUT I'm not here to get ahead of myself and truly, October 2017 was incredible. I saw two old friends from Richmond who happened to be in town, proved myself at work, got to work on an amazing photo shoot, watched Belgium beat Cyprus in a World Cup qualifying match, took a rock climbing course, began seriously working out, got into physical therapy for my neck, and (finally) spent the last two weekends shopping, having coffee dates and generally enjoying the company of my boyfriend - something we didn’t get to do much of in the beginning of the month. </div>

Speaking of shopping…I may have gone a bit overboard this month. But shopping is indeed a passion. PJ helped me pick out a lot of these little bit (good lord I love him) but the rest were all me. Introducing my favourites of October 2017 - I am ready to <b>get cosy</b>. </div>

Fun fact, dresses usually do not agree with this weirdo body type that I have, and it's the worse because there are SO MANY cute dresses out at the moment and I am dying to wear some dark fall florals with my leather jacket and combat boots. So, instead I'll have to work with allllllll of these tops, like that gorgeous lace top from Zara's TRF line - tried it on a whim and bought it 5 minutes later. </div>

Also, friends are the best, am I right? O said to order whatever I wanted from the States to bring with, because I needed a Target fix and my new scarf is giving me LIFE. I am obsessed. I've worn it every day that it's been cold (and I've even worn it in the office when the AC is a little too high for my liking). Just like I've worn <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BZ8U7v1FQGg/?taken-by=suzilndqst" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">these incredible slippers</a> from <a href="http://www.newlook.com/row/womens/clothing/nightwear/brown-pug-slippers/p/542009424?comp=Search" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">New Look</a></div>

On the beauty side of things, I don't have too much. I've accumulated a lot of things over the past few months from that my favourite vloggers have raved about, but October for me was killing in the self-care side. I discovered the most incredible smelling shower gel - we've already gone through a bottle and every time PJ walks by after a shower I just hug him because he smells so flipping good. Lo and behold:</div>

Though I thoroughly enjoyed October, I'm excited for this month, and ever more excited to celebrate 5 years together with Peej (wearing that embroidered lace top, of course). I'm sure my November favs will include quite a few pieces that I plan on picking up in London (I'm on a mission with my mama for short girl jeans. Belgium is not prepared to deal with ladies under 5'7). </div>

<br />
On our last full day of our trip, we ended up taking a catamaran tour in the water off of Morro Jable - basically one of the only times we actually got into the water...<br />
<br />
Really enjoyable and easily set up through our resort, we ended up having a lovely time chatting with two English couples who were on board with us - we took the deluxe tour with cava and lunch. PJ especially enjoyed the speedboating we got to do. He became a regular James Bond once he jumped in.<br />

Saying goodbye to the island. Hopefully we'll be back soon!<br />

<br />
On day 2 of our trip to Fuerte, we happened upon the Mirador Sicasumbre observation point which, obviously, featured Canarian goats on their signage. The views from the top of the hill (thank God for my H&M swimsuit or I would have been <b>soaked</b> in sweat) were incredible. It was honestly like looking at Mars in 100 years, assuming we get there and decide to build roads for our rovers.<br />
<br />
A few more pictures in this little photo diary for you, also featuring Betancuria, the old capital. We got swindled into buying some rose aloe gel for my lobster-burned shoulders, but I'm not mad about it. And neither was my skin.<br />
