Hi everyone! 🤍 Last Novemberโ€“December, I spent a month back in my lovely Mexico – still my favorite place on earth. And combined with my new cameraโ€ฆ well, it got a bit out of hand. I seriously took over 1,000 photos. So many, in fact, that I’ve decided to share my outfits and photos in separate blog posts as much as possible. I’m going back soon, and honestly, I haven’t even had enough time to post all my travel diaries yet.

Hi everyone! My best friend Jeremy has taken some cool pictures in my beautiful city of Den Bosch. Lately I have been creating a lot of content, also because I am now participating in the Prestige Miss Grand (Netherlands) election. I represent my beautiful city of Den Bosch โ€“ so it is really fun to create a lot of new content here too. I am also very happy that I am participating in this election, because I had decided after an extremely tough year like last year, that I would take all the chances of the things I always wanted to do. This election feels like coming home and I like to be able to show a more extravagant side of myself compared to Miss World, for example. [Lees meer…]

Photoshoot Report | Second dress shoot by Kovna Dress

01/10/2020 | 1 Reactie

These are the results of the 2nd beautiful dress shoot with Kovna Dress. I always love shooting with Naira and Kristina! They are very sweet and a very nice team to work with. A shoot day with the Kovna team really feels like a pampering day. I think a lot of women would also feel happy when wearing such beautiful dresses. My hair and makeup were done by Nadia Rozay and Diamond Hairstyling. I am very grateful for the end result, and I am really looking forward to working with this great team more often. Do you also want to rent such beautiful dresses, style your hair or have a make-up look like this? then you can contact them on Instagram. [Lees meer…]

I bought this nice dress from Loavies a while ago, also almost sold it as well because I thought it was too big. I thought this dress was really ideal for a coffee in town when I bought it or for lunch with friends, I long for the day when this will be possible again. I took these photos with Sandra, we had not taken any photos together for a while, so after a long time we captured each other’s outfits. [Lees meer…]

01/02/2020 | Reageer

A few days ago I had my first layover abroad. Dubai is a cool city! I was able to spend 3 days with a great crew and one of my very best friends who lives an hour away from Dubai. Where I am standing is at La Mer, where we had lunch with the girls, recommended by my good friend Roos. This nice dress is well suited for days when the temperature is around 20 degrees. Since it would be around 20 degrees in Dubai at the time I would visit, I thought it would be great to take it with me. [Lees meer…]

The weather in the Netherlands has been really nice in the last few days, so all nice summer clothes can officially be taken out of the closet and we can enjoy the sunshine. I scored these nice earrings in Seville, dress online at Boohoo, belt at Josh V and handy summer heels at Primark. I also wear this beautiful bag with almost every outfit from now on. It really suits a lot in my opinion! [Lees meer…]

Lucky me! Last week I won 2x 50 euro shopping money with 2 instagram photos at both Loavies and NA-KD fashion. What a coincidence! From my Loavies budget I bought this dress that I really like. I like it both for next summer with a pair of heels, as this winter with a thick pair of tights and booties. Other news – only about 3 more weeks and then I will be flying again. Of course I am really looking forward to this new chapter of my dream job – being a flight attendant. I am very curious about this new season! [Lees meer…]

This look is almost the same as my looksย Oporto and Sunlight, simply because I can combine my sneakers, bag and watch with many things. I have many prints in my closet I notice these days! – especially floral. The prints are so colorful and cheerful and I actually spot many people around me that wear prints these days as well.

It changed my life.

Not because of the beaches, the sunsets, or the endless tacos.

Mexico taught me that life can be bigger than the version I was settling for.

It was the first place that showed me freedom doesnโ€™t come from having everything figured out, it comes from trusting yourself enough to take the next step.

It gave me lifelong friendships, unforgettable adventures, confidence I didnโ€™t know I had, and the courage to build a life that feels like mine.

I arrived as someone looking for a holiday.

I left with a completely different perspective on what was possible.

And honestly?

A part of me never really came back. ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝโœจ

POV: You spent your 20s in beauty competitions.

People see the gowns, the crowns, the photos and the stage.

What they donโ€™t see are the early mornings, the self-doubt, the courage it takes to keep showing up, and the growth that happens long after the spotlight fades.

My twenties taught me that beauty competitions were never really about beauty.

They were about finding my voice.
About learning confidence.
About standing on a stage when I was terrified.
About representing causes I care about.
About inspiring others to embrace who they are.

I had the honor of competing in:

โœจ Miss World
โœจ Miss Universe
โœจ Miss Grand International
โœจ Miss Cosmo
โœจ Miss International (selected to represent the Netherlands internationally, later cancelled due to COVID)

The titles were never the biggest reward.

The friendships, lessons, resilience, opportunities, and the woman I became along the way will always mean more than any crown ever could.

To the younger version of me who dreamed of standing on those stages: we did it. ๐Ÿ’ซ

Gone (solo) travelling ๐Ÿ˜œ

One day theyโ€™ll look for the version of you that was always there.

The version they took for granted.

And by then, youโ€™ll be gone.

Whatโ€™s the hardest lesson something taught you without meaning to?

One day I realized:

I wasnโ€™t afraid of being and travelling alone.

I was afraid of losing my life while waiting for someone else.

So I booked the flight. โœˆ๏ธ

Embracing Authenticity | Defending Truth on my Miss World (Netherlands) journey in 2021, my core values and mission
