First things first: I really am sorry for going on an unexplained hiatus. Sometimes life really does get in the way, and other things just take priority. And that's okay. However, there always comes a time where I really cannot keep my mouth shut any longer, and that time is now. My friend asked me for help, [...]
Books &Things: The House by the Sea
As some of you may know, I love to read. So naturally, I have to write about books once in a while. When I was eight years old, my parents got me a membership to the local library, to save themselves from having to buy me new books every single day. That's right, I read [...]
A Careful Opinion on Cultural Appropriation
Hi everyone! I know I don't usually post on Mondays, but sometimes it's nice to switch things up. And in the spirit of switching things up I'm stepping away from the usual stories about my adventures. Today I want to talk about a very touchy subject: cultural appropriation. As my friend Maartje pointed out: discussing [...]
Belated Birthday Celebration at the Amsterdam Cat Cafe
Well, hello there! It's been a week, I have many things to talk about, but all things cat take priority. As you all know, it was my birthday a couple of weeks ago. And as much as I love my birthday, I don't celebrate for longer than a week. But in this case I made [...]
To the Zoo!
I love to babysit. Especially since the kids I get to babysit from time to time are absolute gems. Seven-year-old twins sound like a handful, but they're just so sweet. They have spring break this week and they needed a babysitter for today. But because it's a holiday, their parents asked if I'd be up [...]

I'm seriously considering to start a petition, to get the authorities to recognise my birthday as a holiday. I mean, it should be. I make it a point to make my birthday super special every [...]
Quick Note: Ballet
It's been a week since I last talked to you guys. I had a horrible flu and I was incapable of doing anything besides lay in bed and watch Netflix. It was glorious. Besides the whole being sick thing, of course. So let me introduce you to my Quick Notes. This series will feature random [...]
My Make Up Essentials
First things first: I am not going to pretend to be an expert on make up. I just love to use it and I felt like sharing my essentials with you. Let's start at the very beginning: a very good place to start. Okay, all Sound of Music references aside, I have to start with [...]
Introduction to Mel
I love to write. The problem is, I have so many ideas in my head, they're never published. I get distracted by myself. So I decided to start over. For everyone who doesn't know me: I'm a 20-something history student, living in Amsterdam. I have opinions about everything and I never shut up. I had [...]
