Make Up Tutorial: Smokin' Fire

Hey lovely fireflies!  Today I have a make up tutorial for you. It's a step by step so be prepared for a lot of pictures! I was kinda doubting if I should post this tutorial because the final result pictures turned out a bit blurry. Anyways, the step by steps look good so why bother??

My Favourite Apps!

Well hello there, powergirls!

Today I want to talk about my favourite apps. My phone and I haven't been separated since it's the way to talk to my boyfriend when he's away. If you're using your phone that much you'll start to look for apps. Or at least I did. I've found some apps in the last couple of months that I use a lot and without further ado I'll present them to you (that rhymed):


1.  WhatsApp.
WA is basically an online messenger that you can use to send free texts via WiFi. I've been using it for quite a while now and except for a few bugs, I love it. I can text my boyfriend whenever I want and I can easily send him pictures. It's not connected to facebook or whatever, the only thing you need is their phone number.

2. The Youtube App.
I love listening to music, so the youtube app is kinda perfect for me. Just play my favourite songs out load while running or brushing my teeth. I think I use youtube so much for music since I don't have spotify. A thing that kind of bothers me though is the fact that it can't find all songs I look for.

3. Facebook.
No description needded.

4. Nu.nl  and NOS
These are dutch apps with news articles and videos. Helpful for keeping me up to date.

5. My HIIT Timer.
This is a plain and simple tabata timer I use when running. I love exercising (running in particular) so this app comes in very handy :)

6.  Meta.
This is just an app I use to see my school scedule and my grades.


That's it! I don't use a lot of apps actually. My most used apps are WhatsApp and Youtube. I use the rest equally.

5 Must Have Basics (I Don't Own)

As a girl who loves fashion a lot, I'm very well aware of the so called 'must have basics'. Basic clothing pieces every girl should have in her closet. It seems that you always look fashionable with those pieces and can build your entire style around them. But like a lot of other girls, I don't own every single basic out there. And before I start to tell you what all of these basics are, why you should have them and how to style them.  I thought it would be fairer to tell you what I don't own myself.

#1: A Little Black Dress.


This appears to be a very important basic. You can dress it up or dress it down. You could wear it to work with a cute blazer and then add some high heels and a clutch to go clubbing with your friends in the evening. The possibilities are endless and that's why I'm wondering why I don't own at least one of these LBDs. It actually also makes me wonder why I don't own a lot of dresses in general. I've recently bought a blue one, but that's about it. WishListItem!

Happy X-mas!

Happy Christmas my sweet pies!

May father Christmas make all your wishes and dreams come true.
May you have a great day with friends and family.
May you love, laugh, sing and dance cheerfully.

♥ Love, Vivian

Christmas Wishlist

Hello my glamorous girls,

Ah, first world problems… What to ask for Christmas (or my birthday)? What to buy for a girl who has everything she needs and isn’t materialistic whatsoever?  Probably a question that struck my parents a couple years ago, when I decided I was too old to play with Barbie’s anymore. 

It appeared to me that some of their creativity has faded away into nagging about my presents. This usually resulted in me asking things I didn't need (except for my absolutely amazing watch). But this year something changed in me. The changes are so extreme that I have an entire list of things I want. Today I wanted to share my list for you and maybe give some ideas those of you who have the same problem as I apparently used to have.

1.       A Molskine Notebook, Star Wars edition.

I love Star Wars, a lot. Anything SW would make me happy, but the combination of SW and Notebooks is like heaven. This notebook was just made for me and I think that I might as well allow myself to ask for it as a Christmas present.

MAC Lipstick And Blush

Goodday my fancy fall leaves,

Let's review some awesome MAC products that remind me of fall! Fall is my favorite time of the year, because of all the beautiful colours and scents. We can all enjoy fall till the 21st of December, that's when winter officially sticks his head around the corner. To be honest I'll just drag the fall spirit into the wet & freezing cold winter in Holland. It seems strange to me that California stays warm, even during the winter. Let's be real girls, California isn't cold, ever... period.
Anyways...On todays menu we have a burgundy lipstick and a warm blush. I bought them at Harrods a couple weeks back but today it's time to review them.

Personal: My Bucket List.

Hello my marvelous masterpieces,


Today I want to talk to you about bucket lists. What are bucket lists? Why do I have one? Do you need one?

First thing first: What is a bucket list?  A bucket list is a list with things you want to do before you die. Many people think that a bucket list only consists of things that are hard to accomplish, like becoming a millionair or owning an Audi R8. But that's not true. You can see that in a minute when I go through some of the things on my  bucket list.

Now, you might be wondering: Why would I need a bucket list and why do you have one? What if you die before you've accomplished all of your listings? Or what if you accomplish everything on your bucket list and probably won't die soon? Does that take away all of your spirit once you have nothing to live up to?
