H'suan wen hua (oftewel; smeer dit in je haar en yolo)

Een tijdje terug was ik in de Lush, die keer dat ik vervolgens 's avonds ineens aanschoof bij een sollicitatie-avond. Ik was daar die dag eigenlijk om 1 ding te kopen: deo.
Uiteindelijk kocht ik 2 dingen. Deo, en dit haarmasker.
Ik zou namelijk bij Madame Pompadour, een super gave kapsalon in Utrecht, mijn lange bruine haar weer blond gaan verven. Super slecht voor je haar natuurlijk (en het was al niet in zo'n goede staat). Dus toen ik in de Lush stond dacht ik: IK MOET OOK EEN HAARMASKER OFZO.
En zo, met hulp van de twee meisjes/vrouwen in de winkel, voila.

Toen ik het kocht was ik een beetje verkouden, ik rook dus niet echt wat toen ik een snuifje nam van de tester. Maar wow, de geur is super heftig. Op een positieve manier. Hoewel ik wel even moest wennen vind ik het nu heerlijk. Er is laurier in en dat geeft het een heel kruidige geur die super lang blijft hangen (serieus, de geur bleef zo'n 3 tot 4 wasbeurten hangen).

Er zitten veel voedende ingrediënten in, zoals banaan, avocado, olijf olie en ei, en dat merk je ook. Ik word er echt zo blij van als m'n haar gezond aanvoelt en ik er mijn vingers door kan halen zonder vast komen te zitten. Ook wordt mijn haar redelijk snel zwaar, als ik een beetje teveel crèmespoeling gebruik valt het al als een zakdoek langs m'n gezicht, bij dit haarmasker heb ik daar geen last van! Ook wordt het er niet sneller vet door.

Je smeert je (droge) haar helemaal in met het smeuïge goedje, vervolgens laat je het zo'n 20 minuten zitten en was je het zoals je normaal ook doet.

Ik vind het wel een beetje vreemd om een haarmasker met ei te gebruiken terwijl ik zelf eigenlijk geen ei meer eet, dus of ik het nog een keer zou kopen weet ik niet.. alle producten zijn natuurlijk vrije uitloop, maar ja.. zelfs voor vrije uitloop worden de haantjes met duizenden tegelijk versnipperd en verbrand.

1 potje kost €13,70, met mijn lengte haar (schouder) doe je er zo'n 3 keer mee. Niet heel goedkoop dus, maar ook niet super duur. En het werkt tenminste. Hier het product op de site zelf.

Oja, en via facebook zag ik een oproepje dat ze weer iemand zochten. Dus ik ga dinsdag weer gezellig voor de groepssollicitatie! Ik ben benieuwd :-)

Joe!

Liefs, Fleur

 Pfoei. Afgelopen tijd was zo druk en zo hectisch in mijn hoofd vooral. Ik had even geen ruimte en zin om hier te schrijven. Maar vandaag wel. Ik vertel gauw nog over mijn afstudeerconcert, al is er niet heel veel over te vertellen. Nu eerst mijn afgelopen tijd in foto's.

Ha, ik dacht; ik ga stempels maken!! Helemaal super, maar ik vergeet natuurlijk dat als je woorden ook nog wilt kunnen lezen.. je ze wel in spiegelbeeld op die stempel wil zetten. Zo werd mijn lieve gebaar naar Tom, iets minder lief doordat het moT werd. Gelukkig maakte het met hartjes niet uit. * Curry met cassave crackers en rijst, lekkor. * Rabarber crumble, lekkor.

Ik was afgelopen tijd best wel vaak ziek, vlak voor m'n EP opnames, tijdens, erna.. deze tijd is gewoon zo stressvol en m'n lichaam zegt; stoppen en chillen! Maar mijn rooster zegt: je móet even door tot juli. Oke dan. Tom maakte heel lief wortelsoep voor me. * Ik begin het al te leren, stempels. * Van de moeder van Tom kreeg ik als verlaat verjaardagscadeautje een kiem-setje! Super leuk! Onderhand zijn ze al een stuk groter en ga ik ze misschien zo wel op m'n boterham doen. Ook de muntplantjes die je ernaast ziet zijn nu al een stuk indrukwekkender. 

Wraps met lekkers * Bami met lekkers * Vega hamburger met lekkers

De takes moesten gekozen worden! Richard en ik waren van 20:00 tot bijna 00:00 uur bezig, maar uiteindelijk kwamen we er uit! Spannend hè. * Een helfie met een nectarine. * Ik had visitekaartjes nodig en besloot ze zelf te stempelen. De voorkant-stempel (Hello) heb ik zelf gemaakt, de achterkant is gewoon zo'n dinges.

Gisteravond aten Tom en ik bij een vriendin van hem in Amsterdam. We speelden The Last of Us (nouja, Tom en zij speelden, ik keek alleen maar. Ik heb 30 seconden de controller in m'n handen gehad en heb 'm toen maar weer afgestaan). Eerst had ik nooit iets met games, maar sinds ik Tom ken vind ik het steeds leuker/fantastisch. En The Last of Us zag er ook echt super mooi uit. Ooit wil ik nog leren hoe ik moet sturen, want ik snap er echt de ballen van. Uiteindelijk was het bijna 2 uur en besloten we maar te blijven. We speelden door tot 4 uur, en werden wakker om 9.
Ik sprak af met Rosa in een café en we bespraken het artwork; de voorkant cover is eigenlijk wel af nu! En ik ben er zo blij mee en ik ben zo trots op Rosa dat ze zulke mooie dingen kan maken. Nu de CD zelf nog, en de achterkant.

Spannend hoor.

Liefs, Fleur

On hair and drawing

O HI.

It's been a while, right? Since I wrote about LONG HAIR for the last time. I mean, can you even still remember my obsession? Probably. Well, anyway, I think it's safe to say I have reached my main goal in life: hair that covers my boobs. I could die in peace now (I'm just kidding God, I kind of like it here. PLEASE DON'T TAKE ME NOW)

Here another awkward picture to show off my hair (and my tattoo, of course). Thumbs up for nipple-hair! (well that came out wrong)

Ahw, I found this looking for the hair-selfies I made. EFFBOMBS I LOVE YOU SO MUCH PLEASE COME LIVE WITH TOM AND ME IN UTRECHT.

Yes, that's a laundry line hanging across my room. Live inventively, I always say. Great motto.

I've been into drawing ever since my little nephew was born 1 week ago. WAIT have I told about him yet? HE'S SO DARN CUTE! My uncle and aunt had a baby last week; Sven. He's half Chinese and looks like a cute little baby monk. I held him in my arms and he was so small and light and baby. 

Anyway. I didn't buy a card so I bought some markers and drew a "congrats with the little boy" card for them. And ever since I bought those colorful markers, I've been into drawing. (I've had these periods more often).

I've been wanting to draw shit on mugs for a while now, since I found out you could draw on them with a permanent marker, and then bake them so the ink stays on. I made the "I wood like some coffee-mug" and the "all signs point to tea-mug". Yes I am actually an old man.

I was so happy it worked! But when I drank some coffee and washed the mug afterwards the ink came off anyway. So sad. Maybe I didn't use the right markers (Hema). Maybe I should buy those real porcelain/stone/something markers. 'Cause I really like doing this! Was a bit hard though. Maybe I'll try it out on some plates next time. 

Have a nice weekend!
Love, Fleur

ps. Is there anything you would like me to write about? I mostly blabber about on stuff I'm excited about or need to get out of my head, but I can imagine this is or boring, or way too incoherent. 

Hair & Tattoo post

I WANT LONG HAIR AND A TATTOO!

goddamnit.

To make up the balance, this post will be about hair and tattoo's, instead of love and fear and shit like that.

Well, it won't really be a long blog. 'Cause actually I should take a shower, practice piano and then go to school. But well.. yeah.. you know me.

I think I've just gotten to the point where I feel the extreme urge to change at least something about myself. And since I had a dream about cutting my hair last week, and I was SO relieved to wake up, I won't go do that. Duuuhhh.
So maybe bangs? Hm.. I've finally grown them out.. always takes such a boring long time.

Maybe dying it again? But I'm not sure if I want to keep it dark.. but to dye it blond will probably mean the end of my hair again.. maybe something half-permanent for a couple of weeks. Anything to hide that hideous "ombre" hair of mine (the cool thing is when your roots are dark, and the rest lighter. Well, yes, with me it's the other way around. And no, it's not cool).
And for the tattoo.. yeah.. well.. money, right? And I'm still not certain about what to do next. I have the anchor idea still of course, and an idea to put a text somewhere. BUT THERE ARE SOME MANY COOL IDEAS AND PLACES TO PUT A TATTOOOOOOOOOOO.

I'll just sit by the water and watch my hair grow.

oh wait..

Love,

Fleur

ps. yes, I know, I'm SO FUNNNNYYYYYYYYY

Hair

Okay, so, I'm not there yet.. and it's not that I would want it thát long. But, I'm on my way there yet.

Look look!

So, yes, we're getting there.

Meanwhile (meanwhile my hair is growing) I have finished My Uncle Oswald yesterday, haha terrible but funny book! Great life that man had. It's a fun and not too long, light read. So if you were to be looking for something like that, go for My Uncle Oswald. It's about fornicating and stealing sperm.

Well, if that's not something to make you curious..

Dang, looking at the pendant I'm wearing I'm getting all OMG I want a new tattoo!! again.

This anchorthingy was my first idea, and then I got the heart idea and went with that instead (because it's smaller, and I thought it was such a great idea) and I also got an idea for a text.

The anchor I'd want just below my elbow on the inside of my arm. And the text.. maybe on my wrist or the outside of my arm or the side of my chest? Not sure about that one.. so I'll keep that one waiting til I know. But anyway, I made the deal with myself of letting at least 1 year pass before getting another one. So I'll have to wait til somewhere in december.

Enough time to think I'd say.

I'll just doodle my ideas on me once in a while. Look at it, tilt my head a bit from left to right. Think about it.

Because, you know, with the forever and all.

But goodness how I still love my heart! I heart my heart! Haaaaha. Funny joke, very funny joke.

OKAAAAAYYYYYYY.

My dad pointed out to me a small box with lost and found stuff over at the swimming pool. He said "Nobody's every going to pick that shit up. If you see something you like just take it." (well, he didn't say shit, but you get the gist of it I suppose). So I took about of a hand full of old rusty forgotten kids jewelry. 

Wait let me take a picture.

Of course most of the rings are too small and they hardly fit, but I found it to be such a sad thought all those little kid treasures to be rotting and forgotting away in a dark sad drawer of the lost and found.

I think I will pin them on my walls or something. And wear some of them. And maybe pass them over to some kid in need of a ladybug ring.

Well, I am going to make myself a cheese sandwich. Mmmmmm cheese.

Love,

Fleur

Well.. this is getting boring HAAAAIIIIRRRRRR

omg brooke shields.

You see, the thing is, last week? Or maybe 2 weeks ago? -I DONT KNOW HOW I MANAGED TO NOT WRITE A BLOG ABOUT THIS WAAAAYYYYY SOONER!!!- I found a hair at my dad's house. And at first I thought "Whose hair is this?!" because it was so long! But it was dark, and then I thought.... waaaaiiiiiitttt a minute.. and so then I held it on my own hair, and omg! It was the same length!

OKAY AND GUESS HOW LONG IT WAS?!!
21? no... longer
35? noohooo... longer!
45?

YEESSSS. I really measured it with a ruler. That is how I roll you see.



Well.. since my world revolves around nothing more than hair and staring at  facebook for 5 hours reading everything everyone ever posted, this will be the end of this post!

Love,
Fleur

Whatcha gonna do with the stars in your eeeeyes

Watching Game of Thrones simply makes me want to go to the nearest barber shop and scream "I WANT ANGELIC BLONDE HAIR RIGHT NOW!"

Like this bitch. She has a horse. AND a dragon. Mean.

Anyway, I'm getting carried away again. Like one of those 'long hair' posts. Which, I am sure, will come again soon. Especially since, I'm actually kind of getting long hair now. CAN I GET A YEAH?!

Wait, I'll show you. 

 

You know! how at first it was like, blooonde and a tiny bit over my shoulders.

and then it got dark, and a bit longer. Like an inch or something, but whatever.

and then a bit longer.

So and this is what it kind of is right now.

You see? I'm getting there.

And though I would want nothing more than to paint my hair so blonde I could challenge te sun, I shan't, for I am certain I will be wanting to cut off my hair once it's damaged again. 

I just dyed it again yesterday, dark, and now I have one package left, a slightly lighter one. After that.. mm.. no clue. Maybe back to normal, but letting this grow out will probably look hideous.
Anyway, what I also wanted to say, I love the hair in the series. So today I braided my hair, just like some of those girly girls in game of thrones. Amen.

Okay, while it might be a bit anti social, talking about the length of my hair on a day like this. Memorial day. Actually I did a lot of thinking today. I always kind of look forward to the moment of silence. Though, during those 2 minutes, I hardly ever know what to think about.. while normally, I think quite a lot about the world war and what happened and who died and how and for what.

I hope we will be keeping this 2 minutes for the rest of all our lives. And all the ones after that.

Life is confusing. Cats are too.

Love,
Fleur

How the second part of life begins

No I'm not pregnant. I just wanted to write something melancholy for the title.
This is me trying to write more often again! It's just me, you know, yeah, this is just me.

I actually started taking pictures of my hair to show how long it's getting already, but then I though; never write a single word anymore, and then bust in and immediately bore them with another OMGLONGHAIRfrenzy? Nah most likely to scare everyone away then. (poof go the followers)

So, instead of boring you with my hair. Let's bore you with kittensmittens.

and just one photo to scare you (and secretly still let you see how my hair is going)(I'm deeply sorry)

and in case you were wondering: mm, how does this girl that never writes anything on her blog anymore look like? I'm the one on the left. Though I normally don't look like that. The one on the right is Lisa a friend and classmate.

Oh and oh, you see the thing around my neck? It's a heron's skull I found in the woods, and I spraypainted it silver!!! Too bad, during the party, it's beak broke off :( so now I'm crying ever since.

Love,

Fleur

ps. see you soon

I swear!

I do!

I'm trying my best!

reeeeeaaalllllllllyyyy do!

Superficial on repeat

YES! This is indeed another 'long hair post'. I was just checking my daily blogs and I came across Taghrid, and with this photo, she set me in the "OOMMGGG can't WAIT to have long hair again-mood"

So, if you want to release your frustration for me having another long-hair-rant, go throw bricks through hér window. not mine.

I also want a dreamcatcher. DIY project for somewhere in the future.

Ahaaw she is so cute :) from http://ilovewildfox.com/

Gorgeous Fiona Apple with her frizzy wavy pretty hair

Sideways hair. Ombré hair, dark at the top light(er) at the bottom.

Abbey Lee Kershaw, total girl crush of course. And I want her braid.

My dad cut the ends for me yesterday. 2 til 3 cms off, which will take me about 3 months. It only grows about 15 centimeters a year!! Soooooo unfair, like, maaaaan. So it will take me.. wait, letting my hair down, trying to guesstimate (total terrible word! heard it today again on Cash in the Attic (man I loooove BBC antiques programmes) (really!) and I had to use it :)) a freaking year and 3 months orso for my hair to grow as long as I'd want it.

And by that time, probably, I'll be so sick of it already that I'll cut it to a Mia Farrow pixie Twiggy cut again.

Okay NO and then I will make myself look and stare and not blink watching these next photos which, when I look at them now, always makes me want to punch myself in the face for cutting it.

with and (of course) by Rosa I love this way of curling my hair! I used long shreds of an old paper, you have to have wet hair, well, damp. And then you pull the streak of paper to the end of your hair (make sure your hair is in the middle of the streak) then make a triangle of the part around your hair, and start rolling it up. When you are at the top, make a knot in the streak of paper -be careful since it easily tears. Blow it dry, sleep with it still in, I don't know, just let it dry and you'll have curls like above.

This was a school project for our Art class at the time. I was a pirate (a whory pirate according my friends) and the other 2 were an indian and a princess.

Again, by Rosa. Ahhaaaaa that hair. Okay sorry, drooling on my own hair. I'll stop now.

okay last one then.

I don't know why I have this hair obsession. When it's long I want it short, when it's short it's taking too goddamn long to have it long again. I just like braiding it, cutting bangs in it, twirl it around my fingers (while of course flicking my lashes and showing my leg by lifting my skirt a bit).

Ooehh and I started writing a new song, which today I also started on the piano, I think I've got the chorus, but one chord is not working, and I don't know with which to replace it, having tried lots of stuff.. Can't wait for school to start to get some help of my songwriting teacher. Of course, he'll probably want to change 3/4 of the rest of the chords and song, but that's okay ;-) (nah that was a joke of course)

And I have to really start finishing the other one, and the one about my sister, but well, no; I think I'm going to let that one rest a bit. Though, if the lyrics are finished I will post them here. And the same with the other 2. Can't wait to share something new again.. but well, I'll have to wait til I've actually finished them :-)

O shite, have to pack my bag for my weekend to Texel with Miranda, a friend from my class, also a singer-songwriter. I should really post something of her here once. Yes will do.

Love,

Fleur
