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.

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?

Wait for the end… 🥹🌎

Imagine all the beautiful souls you would have never met if you had waited for someone to travel with you.

The strangers who became friends. The unexpected connections. The people who made a foreign country feel like home. 🤍

Looking back, the most beautiful part of traveling solo was never just the places I visited.

It was the people I met along the way.

Some of them are still part of my life years later.

And to think I could have missed all of that simply because I was afraid to go alone.

Send this to someone you met while traveling. ✈️❤️

Almost one year ago, my favorite engine pictures 🛫 I had the absolute honor to be a guest again at the exclusive fundraiser gala @transavia @esterfonds_  for @peterpanvakantieclub hosted between the airplanes at Transavia 💚

During this incredible fundraiser, the team raised over 110.000€ for sick children, to give them a vacation and memory they will never forget 🧸

In 2021 I had the absolute honor to host this event, the biggest honor in my carreer as a flight attendant 🛫  And I’m happy to announce that next year, the possibility I might host the event again is very big 🥹

The plane behind me is NOT AI - this is actually an airplane used for the event ✨

TORONTO, CANADA 🇨🇦 | A little home away from home

My second time visiting Canada! 🍁

After spending some quality time with my family, who live about two hours outside Toronto, I decided to spend a few extra days in the city.

Lucky for me, I have some amazing Canadian friends, including one who welcomed me into her home right in the heart of downtown Toronto! 🥹❤️

With most of my friends and family living outside the Netherlands, travelling isn’t always about discovering new places. Sometimes, it’s simply about reconnecting with the people I love. And that’s exactly why I travel as much as I do. ❤️

A few of my Toronto recommendations:

📍 Found Coffee ☕️
📍 Kensington Market
📍 CN Tower
📍 Augusta Coffee Bar ☕️
📍 Toronto Waterfront
📍 Rent a bike & explore the city 
📍 Trinity Bellwoods Park 🌳
📍 Christie Pits Park 🌿

Until next time, Toronto! 🇨🇦❤️

Extra details ✨

Shirt dress: @trendyol 
Floral corset: @lounge_ 
Yellow corset set: @lounge_ 
Brown bag: @furla 
Sunglasses: @celine 
Black bag: @ysl 
Black heels: @uwantisell 
Nails: @naked.point 
All gold jewelry: @finaste.nl 
White blazer: @zara

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.
