| Reageer

Dutch version below – Hello everyone, I would like to share my truth, vision, and story with all of you, including the beliefs I stand for. Why I’ve been blogging for 10 years, using Instagram to share my story, and why I decided to participate in beauty pageants like Miss World for my country. The truths and misconceptions about me and my participation in the pageant and standing up for my personal narrative and story. – Celebrate Your Authenticity: My Core Value, Standing up against Bullying, and Self-empowerment. “I signed a contract that does not allow me to be completely open about my experiences with ‘MWNL’. Nevertheless, I want to tell you who I am, what I stand for and who I am not.” [Lees meer…]

Beauty pageant Diary | Miss Netherlands (Miss World) finale

| 2 Reacties

After an intensive year, the final of Miss World Netherlands is a fact. I’ve grown a lot as a woman and often stepped out of my comfort zone (I love). I didn’t win myself, but my good friend Dilay Willemstein was allowed to take home the beautiful crown, which Brenda Muste handed over to her. I am grateful that because of something ‘negative’ like corona, I was able to take a chance next to my beautiful, irregular job. Because we were all temporarily on the ground due to the freeze and travel ban, I was able to make this period something else special. Where one door closes, another door opens. This post is to share the last pictures of the final evening and as a short summary.

Hi everyone! Because of this busy and special week, I decided to turn this into an entire blog post. To start this post, I can finally announce that I am a finalist at Miss World Netherlands, so it has been very busy recently. I am lucky that the entire Miss World Netherlands journey has the perfect timing with our low amount of flights in recent months. Every disadvantage has its advantage, and I want to take opportunities where they are – and that was a good move. [Lees meer…]

Food diary | Den Bosch Lunch recommendations

| 1 Reactie

I love my city and food, so I decided to make a different post than usual. This is a bit similar to my Week Diary, but this time, it’s a post about food. Here are some places in my beautiful city Den Bosch where I recently had lunch. I am often in the city center and have already seen a lot of nice places and have eaten or drunk there. My city has many nice places to eat and I have a large list of places that I like, but I didn’t take a lot of pictures of those places lately. Here are some nice places where I also took nice food pictures from. [Lees meer…]

Week diary | City food event & Airline party weekend

Hi everyone! Last week was so much fun that I made a kind of “travel diary” in my own country. This is my first “week diary” post, and I might make less than a handful this year. I have listed a number of highlights from the past week, with my favorite photos. In the morning before my last evening flight, Sandra took me to the ‘Korte Putstraat Proeft’ event in my beautiful city Den Bosch, to enjoy with her many dishes that we as influencers were allowed to enjoy – I was happy to be invited by her.
