Photo Report | Visiting the Miss Netherlands 2016 finale

02/10/2016 | Reageer

mandyvictoria_missnl_blogpost12

Previous Monday, I have visited the Miss Netherlands 2016 finale.
As I had told in the post ‘Meeting Miss Netherlands & My new Given dress’ I won a social media competition which also included 5 tickets to the finale of Miss Netherlands 2016.
Afgelopen maandag heb ik de finale van Miss Nederland 2016 bezocht. Zoals ik al eerder heb verteld in mijn post ‘Meeting Miss Netherlands & My new Given dress’, heb ik een social media wedstrijd gewonnen waar ik o.a 5 kaarten voor de Miss Nederland 2016 finale heb gewonnen.
mandyvictoria_missnl_blogpost
Four of my friends and I went on our way to Studio 21 in Hilversum by car.
I was very enthusiastic for the finale, because I look up to beauty pageants (+ hope to join a beauty pageant one day… if it’s within my opportunities) and follow Miss Netherlands and other beauty pageants quite some time on social media. This is because I think it’s so amazing if you get an opportunity like that, and I’m quite interested in seeing how it all goes. And ofcourse, because of all the glitter & glamour!
Samen met vier vriendinnen, ging ik onderweg naar Studio 21 in Hilversum met de auto. Ik was erg enthousiast voor de finale, omdat ik opkijk naar miss verkiezingen. (+ooit op een dag hoop ik er met een mee te kunnen doen.. mocht dat een mogelijkheid zijn), en ik volg Miss Nederland en andere Miss verkiezingen al een lange tijd op social media, omdat ik het gaaf vind als mensen die kans krijgen en ik het leuk vind om te zien hoe missverkiezingen in hun werk gaan. En natuurlijk, om alle glitter & glamour!

Afterwards there was a great afterparty with the Party Squad. The after party was together with all the misses, visitors, some previous-misses and other celebrities.
Op het laatst was er een leuke afterparty met the Party Squad. De after party was samen met alle missen, bezoekers, sommige vorige missen, en andere celebs.

To finish this post – I really liked the evening. The finale was really well put together and each of the finalists was beautiful in their own way. It was also nice to see such a variety of talents and show parts. What is your vision on beauty pageants? I’m quite enthusiastic about it. How about you?
Om deze post af te sluiten – Ik vond het een leuke avond. De finale was erg goed gevuld en ieder van de finalistes was mooi op hun eigen manier. Het was ook erg leuk om een variatie aan talenten en onderdelen te zien. Wat is jullie mening over missverkiezingen? Ik ben er erg enthousiast over. En jullie?

MEXICO STORY (read & sound on) 🇲🇽

Something positive I wanted to share about México 🤍

As most people who know me - or who have been following my journey for a while - already understand… this country has brought an incredible amount of blessings into my life. Experiences, friendships, growth, and memories I will carry with me forever.

With everything currently being shared online, I also feel the importance of balance. Yes, staying aware and informed matters - but so does telling the full story.

Three weeks ago, I was there again. And what I experienced was what México has so often shown me: warmth, kindness, music in the streets, spontaneous conversations, familiar smiles, and those beautiful moments that remind you how powerful human connection can be.

México has never been just a destination for me - it has been a place of expansion. A place where I laughed until my cheeks hurt, where strangers became friends, and where I was reminded to live a little softer and a little more present.

Fear travels fast online… but so do gratitude and truth.

So this is your gentle reminder that behind the headlines, there is also so much light. Many areas in Mexico continue to feel warm, welcoming, and safe - and I will always be grateful for every lesson, every memory, and every piece of growth this beautiful country has given me.

Con mucho amor 🇲🇽✨
Mandy

The boutique hostel that changed my life 🇲🇽🌴 (Sound on)

Mayan Monkey Tulum has such a special place in my heart. 🐒🥥
If you’ve been following my Mexico trips for a while, you already know… my life would honestly not look the same if I hadn’t stayed here.

I first arrived in 2022, and somehow I just kept coming back. This place didn’t just give me a bed for the night - it gave me friendships all over the world and some of the best memories of my life.

From the beautiful boutique vibe to the ultra-clean dorms and high-quality private rooms, I’ve genuinely never had a bad stay here. The breakfast, drinks and food are always delicious, well-priced and worth it.

If you’re looking for a stylish, social hostel in Tulum that feels almost like a resort - but still close enough to the beach - this is your sign.

✨ Who knows… it might just change your life too.

Recently - I visited Cancún for two nights at @mayanmonkey_ 🌴
A popular Mexican boutique hostel brand I know for a long time and have also visited often in Tulum. 

The trip started with joining one of the cabin crew members I already knew in advance and was coincidentally on this flight. We both had no solid plans so it was lovely to spend time together.

Thank you @mayanmonkey_ for the lovely stay! 🐒

More video’s soon ✨
