Hi everyone! Here is my 2nd outfit from the collaboration with Jurkjes.com. No matter how cold it is, I love dresses. You won’t see me in pants very often either. Except for special trousers or a suit. How I am looking forward to finally have a glass of wine or something at a cafΓ© one day. I’m afraid it could take months, unfortunately, but I look forward to the day when it can hopefully be done again. Fortunately, I am enjoying myself! By the way, I recently shopped online a lot, so it’s great to receive all those packages again. Also called up for a flight this week, so in a little over 2 weeks I flew 4 times. Quite a lot for this time! Tomorrow a dress shoot with my best friend, this weekend busy with Miss World, next week a video recording with my airline Transavia.. Enough to do! I wish you a lot of strength in these times. It will be over one day … I hope. [Lees meer…]

Hi everyone! Horrible.. that lockdown. It takes us a long time to get back to normal life .. The good news is that I have plenty to do with good friends, have had 3 flights in the past 2 weeks, and have something to keep me busy every day. I hope you are all doing well! Keep yourself tough! Do not end up in social isolation. Stay in touch with family, friends and loved ones and see what is still possible despite the lockdown. I got this nice dress and belt from Jurkjes.com, a super stylish winter combination. [Lees meer…]

It was so stormy during the weekend! It was really hard to take these photos during the wind haha, so there were not so many good pictures left which were not ruined by my hairtornado.Β This colorful dress already gives me spring feelings! I never expected to have this much leopard in my closet in the end! But with all of those nice color combi’s .. too cute to let go! [Lees meer…]

Since this year, I have many prints in my closet! I don’t do it on purpose but with all those prints everywhere I find a new cute dress every time. Even when I went to Mallorca last week, I really had a lot of prints in my suitcase, haha. What I like about this beautiful dress is that in addition to red it also has pink in the print which gives it that extra touch. I think it’s a nice dress for the end of the summer. This dress is also brand new in my closet. [Lees meer…]

This look is almost the same as my looksΒ 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 doesn’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 didn’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. πŸ‡²πŸ‡½βœ¨

POV: You spent your 20s in beauty competitions.

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

What they don’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:

✨ Miss World
✨ Miss Universe
✨ Miss Grand International
✨ Miss Cosmo
✨ 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. πŸ’«

Gone (solo) travelling 😜

One day they’ll look for the version of you that was always there.

The version they took for granted.

And by then, you’ll be gone.

What’s the hardest lesson something taught you without meaning to?

Beautiful villa @villa_hunab_ku 🌴

One day I realized:

I wasn’t afraid of being and travelling alone.

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

So I booked the flight. ✈️

What’s something you’ve been waiting for?

Based on facts 🌴✈️ Can you relate?

"What do you like to do for fun?"

Leave the country.

New places, new people, new stories.
Every single time.

At what point does it stop being a hobby and become a personality trait? πŸ˜‚

Mini cut from last weekend in Marbella

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

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.

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 […]
