Hi everyone! Another outfit post after a long time. I think this summer outfit is perfect for a summer trip. Not such a fun fact: these glasses fell right after the photos :'(. Unfortunately, just like everyone else, I also have to wait and see if the code yellow remains in the 2 places I planned to go, but I’m having fun fortunately well in the Netherlands. A year-long trajectory full of growth of Miss World (Netherlands) is over, and I can already tell you that an exciting new time is coming… Currently I am flying full-time again, see a lot of old and new nice colleagues in Eindhoven (my workplace), and I have a lot of shoots planned, which I would like to continue with besides my work.

Hi everyone! A little over a month ago I went on holiday to Dubai. It’s been quiet on my website for a while, but I’m really busy with fun things, especially the preparations for the Miss World Netherlands final on June 30th. I did a shoot with a very sweet KLM flight attendant last week, and there are 2 dress shoots on the schedule, in addition to blog shoots. This fantastic place is Penthouse Dubai, at Five the Palm. I went out for dinner and cocktails here at the time. An extensive Dubai diary with tips is coming! But this comes after the final of Miss World Netherlands. This fantastic suit has a hidden short in it by the way. I think the color is really beautiful. It has a satin look, which can be clearly seen in the photos, but less in reality. [Lees meer…]

I hope everything is going well for you! Nice that you read my new post again. What busy weeks I have at the moment! Despite the fact that I fly very little (at the moment, in addition to the fact that I am on vacation). I am very busy. I volunteered to give a guest lecture on aviation this week for work, and the day after two guest lectures for my Miss World anti-bullying project. Also a lot of shoots on the schedule! Very busy days, but a lot of fun! I also want to share that there are some more Dubai travel posts coming soon, and Miss World posts.

Hi everyone, I just got back from Dubai for a while. After my work layover last year, I really wanted to go back. I have a 2.5 week vacation, and decided to go to Dubai for about 4,5 days. Two friends, including one that I would visit there, canceled last minute. I decided to go anyway, because I could stay with an former colleague in her airbnb, and she was also solo for part of her trip. It has been really fun! And I am happy to travel again after 7 months. I bought this neon dress last year, especially for my Dubai trip that I moved a few times. A large travel diary will soon be online, full of tips. [Lees meer…]

Today I had another blog shoot. This is my favorite outfit at the moment. I’ve had this dress for a few months now, but I still haven’t been able to capture many of the outfits that I wear lately. This beautiful luxury boutique dress is from Lavish Alice, and I bought it a while ago along with a lot of other items. Wearing a black dress is always a good choice.

Hi everyone, I will stop counting the number of suits I have in my closet, haha. I love this nice spring-like color. This suit is really nice for spring, so I wear it a lot. Soon I will be posting a lot of outfits again. I’ve been wanting to shoot some of them since last summer and during autumn, but it often didn’t work out with my schedule. [Lees meer…]

Hi everyone, my last outfit post was a while ago. I have had quite a month. Quarantine, testing, sick family, but also a lot of good news, fortunately. I like to keep that positivity in these times. I’ve had a lot of Miss World shoots recently and some new Miss World behind the scenes posts are coming online on my blog. Also have a number of flights on my schedule! Last week I made my longest flying day ever, seemed a bit like a “tour de Europe”. Eindhoven-Paris-Paphos-Amsterdam-Taxi Eindhoven. Did an Alicante flight this week and another 2 days later. Every flight feels like a moment of happiness. [Lees meer…]

As you may have seen in a lot of my blog posts, I love wearing suits. I bought a lot of things with discount at the time at a luxury fashion web shop that I have loved for a long time already. Great deal I thought! Lots of clothes that are normally very expensive, for a lot less. I had to pay 105 euros import charges eventually due to Brexit. Painful, but luckily everything fits and looks great, so I accepted it. This great suit has a “corset look” which I think is super cool. I bought all these cool clothes for Miss World workshops, in addition to the dresses that they gave us ourselves. It is also wonderful that we can “go” outside again with this fantastic weather! Time to shoot a lot and move outside again. [Lees meer…]

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…]

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˜‚

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. 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 […]
