‘How to get beach body ready’, ‘Bikini body workouts’ and ‘Get rid of cellulite and stretch marks!’ We get these headlines thrown at us like crazy during the sunny time of the year. On Instagram you can find a lot of comments on photos from #fitgirls such as: ‘Bodygoals!’ and ‘Wow, your body is perfect!’. And the awful thing is… I look at those pictures and phrases like the above pop up into my head too.
Okay, I have to admit, I find it kind of scary to post this video on my blog. Why? Because I am in no way a professional at making workout routines and I am not really a fitgirl (I hate running, haha). Why am I posting this video, you may ask? To be honest, just because this is simply something that interests me. Mental and physical health, feeling better in your own skin and being the best version of yourself are subjects that I want to share with you. I would love to create a community where we can motivate, build and lift each other up. So here we go!
I did my own make up for my big day. I used the beauty glow palette from Charlotte Tilbury for the most of my look. Warm colours suit me best, so this was the perfect palette. For my hair I went to Trust Hair, a hair dresser in The Hague which was close to my grandfather’s house. It is always a good idea to go for a try-out so you don’t have to stress about your hair on the big day. I actually had to have two try-outs, haha. The first time I went to the salon thinking I wanted an updo, but when I looked at the pictures later I realised that it did not suit me that well. So, I went back for a second try out and choose a half updo, which suits me way better. Going back to my grandfather’s place I still wore my casual clothing which was quite funny cause I also wore a veil and had to hold it in my hand. You can imagine the stares I got, haha. And then… the dress! I bought my dress in Zwolle, where I grew up. Hony Bruidsmode is a great wedding shop. The Diane Legrand 6219 dress got adjusted…
