Another hair style, for me and someone else

People who know me, know that I've been thinking about donating my hair for a long time. However, I always found an excuse: after prom I will do it, because I really want beautiful, long hair on my prom pictures. My prom was in June, I eventually donated my hair in October (because, you know, I was going to college and people there needed to see me with long hair, and I didn't know which hairdresser to go to, and I didn't want it to be too short...) Well, the main reason was that I was afraid. That people wouldn't think of me as "pretty" when I had short hair. That people would tell me I made a mistake.

What was I thinking?! People who would think that should not matter to me! So, eventually, I went to the hairdresser together with my mother (for mental support), and it turned out not so bad after all!

New Format... Excited!

Hi guys!

Lasts weeks have been pretty busy, and I really missed my relax-moments. I told some new friends of mine about my blog, and they said that I should continue it. 
Well... I thought... I'm not so sure.

Last night I was wondering why I was not sure about continuing my blog. After all, I loved writing and with this Blogger format I could also keep track of my pageviews, from which country they were, etcetera.
The reason is that I started this blog as an assingment for school, so it feels kind of forced to stay within the limits of DIY. 
But as I keep getting between the 30-60 pageviews a day, without posting anything, I decided to adjust this blog a little, also including other posts, for example about me donating my hair, studying and the do's and dont's, but of course I will share some amazing DIY's I come accross. 

I am not sure if I will change the URL, but if I do I will let you know!
I hope you guys appreciate this idea, and will continue to follow my blog. 

Love,
Anouk

Simple variation of ponytail/advance to simple updo

It's been a while since I've posted something but today I ran into such a simple variation of a ponytail; I could not keep it from you! 
When I'm working my long hair mainly annoys me and therefore I put it in a ponytail. I know that gets boring, but it's easy! And be honest with me, trying to create a cute hairdo when you're at work/at school is practically impossible...
This easy flip of your ponytail creates a subtile change to your look and probably takes you 5 seconds more than a regular ponytail, and if you take it a few steps further you can create a gorgeos updo as well! 

DIY: Chair closet

Wow, sometimes I am amazed by the people that walk around on this planet. Lately it is mostly by their stupid ideas, but I've got to tell you, this man is a genious! If you are looking for a new closet in your home, and if you do not have a lot of space, try this out!

DIY: Draped skirt

YES! It's official! My summer break has started. However, the first problem already showed up today: I am bored. So, I started looking around at the internet and I found an outfit that is super-awesome-extremelysimple and I am surely going to wear it as soon as the sun is shining again!

DIY: Pizza cupcakes

I just stumbled upon this, and want to share it with you! I am surely going to make these when friends come over for dinner, as it is an original and (at least I think) tasty meal! Of course you can add all spices and products you like to make it just the way you like it!

DIY: Fast for 24 hours!

As you may have noticed, it has been a few days since I've posted something. This is a result of a hectic week in which I had to set up a 24 hour program for 30 students, who joined me with a 24 hour fast at school. We did not eat from Wednesday June 27, 14:00, to Thursday June 27, 14:00. We sought sponsors (family, friends, neighbours, etc.) and raised money for KiKa, a Dutch organization that fights for children with cancer. Do you want to know how we survived these 24 hours? Or are you planning on fasting yourself? Then read this!
