Youtube Channel: Wendy's Lookbook

Dear readers,

I have already posted about one of my favourite fashion blogs being Wendy's Lookbook, but I didn't know she had her own Youtube Channel with lots of fun video's about how-to's!
For example:

* How to pack a suitcase
* How to updo your hair
* How to clean and maintain your shoes
* How to wear summer dresses
* How to pair a tulip and a flared skirt
* And lots of more good stuff!

I highly recommend you watch this channel HERE!

Have fun and let me know what you think of it!

Love, Melissa

You need a fashion shower!

Dear readers,

As you might already know, H&M started a collaboration with Anna Dello Russo for an accessories line. This line will be in stores from October 4, but for now Anna Dello Russo surprises us with a video explaining some very keen lessons on fashion ;)

Have a look for yourself!

LOL! What do you think? I find it SO cool and over the top...loving it!

Love, Melissa

The Dark Knight Rises!

Dear readers,

Woof, went to see "The Dark Knight Rises" last Wednesday! Of course, I had really high expectations and Christopher Nolan, the director, didn't dissapoint me. I do think it is not as good as "The Dark Knight", but it is still VERY good and therefore I highly recommend you go watch it in the cinema. These kind of movies have such a good effect at the movies, that the experience simply wouldn't be the same when watching it at home.
For those of you who haven't watched the movie yet, see the trailer below for a preview!
My favourite personage in this movie is definitely "Bane" played by Tom Hardy. What a magnificent actor!

Let me know what you thought about the movie and have fun!

Love, Melissa

Intouchables!

Dear readers,

Yesterday I finally went to see the movie "Intouchables". I really had been waiting for a chance to see it, since I heard so many good stories about this movie. Has any of you already seen it? I don't want to tell too much about it, just in case you haven't seen it yet, but it's a really beautiful story about a deep friendship between two persons that wouldn't normally have met. I loved the fact that the movie is also actually very funny, something I didn't foresee. And then it's also about the strength of people in general. And the cool thing is, this movie is actually based on a true story :)

If you want to see what all the fuzz is about, watch the trailer below and go watch it! :)

Ombre nails!

Dear readers,

A new nail polish trend is up and coming: the OMBRE nails! And guess what...I AM LOVING IT!!! Wanna have a look at what ombre nails are and how you can do it yourself? Then have a look at this instructional video:

I am really going to try this out! How about you? Let me know how it worked out for you!

Love, Melissa

NEVER GIVE UP!!!

Dear readers,

I love this inspirational Youtube film! Its about perseverance, faith in yourself and knowing that ANYTHING is possible if you set your mind to it! Have a look and let it inspire you!

After seeing this I know I have to be persistent in doing some physical exercise myself if I want to lose some pounds! This means doing at least a 15 minute workout EVERY day and to not make any excuses like "Hmmm whatever, I will do it tomorrow!" Those thoughts are NOT in alignment with what I want and are real promise breakers to myself...I won't let it happen again, not this time!

What can you do TODAY that will break the old and "comfortable" pattern you are in right now but which is NOT in alignment with where you want to be?!

Love, Melissa

Falling models!

Dear readers,

Just laughed my fucking ass off...this video compilation is just TOO hilarious!!! I knew I had to share it, I am sure it will put a smile on your face today :)

ENJOY!!!

Love, Melissa

Suavemente!

Dear readers,

When my friends and I were in Rome there was this one song that was being played literally EVERYWHERE and I have been hooked to it ever since! It's actually a new version of the original "Suavemente" by Elvis Crespo which I normally don't like, but this time it worked quite well actually! Hope you like it as much as I do :)

Enjoy!

Love, Melissa

The Avengers!

Dear readers,

Wow...went to see Marvel's "The Avengers" yesterday in IMAX - 3D and it was just stunning! The sound, the effects, the actors, the story line, the heroes...it all came together in a magnificent and overwhelming way! I LOVED IT!!! Has any of you been to the movies yet to see it?!

Iron Man protecting me ;)

If you haven't seen this movie yet, check the trailer below and go watch it as soon as you can, you really don't want to miss this movie!

Rihanna in concert!

Dear readers,

As promised, I would let you know how Rihanna's concert was....IT WAS AMAZING!!! Although we had to wait for an hour for her to show up, it was definitely worth it all!!! What a great voice, what a great performance and what a fantastic show! I REALLY LOVED IT!!!

Unfortunately, I don't have sound here, so I just have to choose a Youtube film and hope the sound is good enough. Anyway, I will check it tonight and maybe I will post also another clip of her concert...I mean, you never can get enough of RIHANNA :)

I chose this particular clip, because I thought it was so cool of her to play the drums!

She was rocking it, right?!

Love, Melissa

Update: I noticed the clip here above does not function any longer...too bad! To make it up to you, here a new clip from the song "Please, don't stop the music" performed live by Rihanna. The concert was getting to its end!

Have fun watching the clip!

Gagaween!

Dear readers,

You might think: "GAGAWEEN?!?!?" Well, this video will explain it all!

How cool is that? I just had to share!

Love, Melissa

Bridesmaids!

Dear readers,

I was expecting this movie to be somewhat of a B-movie, but boy, was I wrong! I couldn't stop laughing the entire time watching this movie, which was kind of embarassing since I was on an airplane ;)

Anyhow, for those of you who haven't watched this movie yet, DO SO!!! You'll be up for some good times, I promise! Oh, and for men who are reading this: it is NOT a chick-flick, it's just hilarious!

Here a preview to give you an idea, although this preview doesn't do the film justice!

That's why I included another part of the film, which I thought was hilarious!

Super Bass

Dear readers,

A performance by Sophia Grace Brownlee: an imitation of Nicki Minaj's Super Bass! How cool is this?

Love, Melissa

Bootcamp!

Dear readers,

I knew for a long time I needed to do something about my physical state, but only thinking about it made me already tired LOL! However, I came to a point in which I needed to chose between eating less and healthier or working out. Well, since I just LOVE food, the choice was easy. A friend of mine told me about bootcamp and I thought it might be something I would like, so 2 weeks ago I went to my first bootcamp workout and although I was in a LOT of pain the days after, I did like it so I will now try to go at least once a week and hopefully it will soon start to show some great results!

For those of you who are unfamiliar with bootcamp, click on the video below to see what it's all about!

Does any of you do this workout? If so, what do you think about it? And if not, what kind of sports do you do? I need some inspiration! :)

Love, Melissa

In the mood for a really scary movie?

Dear readers,

I LOVE scary movies, but I don't think there are a lot of good ones out there. However, a few weeks ago I saw 'Case 39' with Renee Zellweger and Bradley Cooper and I have to say that this movie REALLY gave me the creeps! At one point I was even screaming lol! :)
So, want to see a good and scary movie, watch this one! I know it will freak you out too! To give you a heads up on what the movie is about, watch the trailer below! I have to say that the trailer does not give a complete insight on the storyline, so don't be all judgy about it, just go and watch it :)

Love, Melissa

The Hangover 2!

Dear readers,

Has any of you already seen 'The Hangover 2' ?  When I was in Costa Rica last week, I went to see the movie in the theatre together with my sister and her husband (they live in Costa Rica) and we had such a blast! I couldn't stop laughing! I did not expect this movie to be so good, as the first one was already so funny and it is always hard to meet the expectations people have, but the director Todd Phillips has really done a good job!

If you did not yet see the movie, check the trailer below! After watching the trailer, you just want to go and check the movie! You won't regret it, I promise!

Love, Melissa

Smallest garage EVER

Dear readers,

I came across this clip on Youtube and thought I share this with you. It is probably the smallest garage ever, but this old men is probably one of the best drivers as well LOL! See for yourself!

Love, Melissa

Secretariat!

Dear readers,

Last week I saw the movie 'Secretariat' and what a movie it was! It tells the true story about the race horse Secretariat, the fastest race horse ever and about its keeper, a housewife and mom of four who sets her life on the sideline to pursue her dreams and her beliefs! Check the trailer and go watch it yourself!

Do your own manicure!

Dear readers,

I think it is so important for hands to look as if they are taken care of. Even though I like to just sit back and relax in a nail salon, I am well aware of the costs that come with it. Therefore, I now do it myself! But of course, I don't want my nails to look any less beautiful than when doing it at the nail salon. Again, Youtube was my savior! Look at this manicure tutorial and try it yourself! I do it every week now for a month and I have to say, it's getting easier! One note, please do not use the Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover, this is really chemical stuff and you get the same effect when putting your hand in warm water for a few minutes and finishing it off with a cuticle stick and scraper. 

Good luck! Let me know how it went!

Love, Melissa

How cute is this baby?
