Gift Idea for your Boyfriend


Hello lovelies.

I'm holding on to my uploading schedule quite well, if I say so myself.
Today is Sunday, which on this blog means a DIY post will pop up.

Since Christmas is getting closer I know some of you are stressing to find that perfect gift for your boyfriend. I don't celebrate Christmas with gifts, but 2 days ago I celebrated Sinterklaas with my family and boyfriend, which is were we give each other presents. I made him this little gift, and I think he loved it.

My boyfriend and I love travelling and have until now been on three trips. Paris, London and Germany where we visited Hamburg. I searched through my photographs of those travels and chose three I liked. I googled some nostalgic looking maps of those cities and combined the two playing with the transparency.


It's pretty simple if you've got some basic knowledge in photo editing, but even if you've never edited photo's before it will probably work out, it just might take a little longer.

I ended up with this result and thought it looked really nice, which made me want to share it with you guys.

What do you think of this DIY? Will you be doing this? Let me know in the comments below!

SickTip #3

Source: Wattpad.com
 
It's been to long since I did one of these, but like I said in my previous post, I wan't to change my uploading schedule drastically. Which means that from now on, every Saturday you'll find a new SickTip on my blog, calling this day SickTip Saturday.
 
Today I'll be talking about telling people how you feel. I know this has been a problem I struggled with a lot when I was ill. I always thought no one would understand how I felt, but how could I ever expect them to, if I din't even try to explain?
 
For a long time I walked around with feeling cropped up in my body. Making it feel like I had a massive weight on my shoulders. Every day the weight on my shoulders felt heavier and heavier, which made having CFS a lot harder. After probably a year I finally sat down and talked with my parents about every single thing, the big things but also the little things. I got to know how they felt and thought about everything and so did they about me. We probably talked for hours, but every minute the weight on my shoulders decreased. It felt so good to let those tears I've been holding back roll over my cheeks. That was also the moment I came to notice it was not only a hard time for me, but also for my parents. Never before I thought about how painful it must have been for them to see me so ill. It opened up my eyes.
 
What I want to tell with this story is: tell someone how you feel. Don't crop up your feelings like I did, and if you did, tell someone. Please do, because it's so important. Tell someone who's close to you, like your parents, brother or sister, good friend or boyfriend/girlfriend. It feels so good, trust me.
Even if you think they won't understand, the least thing you can do is try. Pleaso do, because it's so important.
 
Also, know you're not the only one. There are so many people on this earth feeling the same way you do. Wouldn't it be great if in some way, we could speak with each other. For now we can do this in the comment section, or feel free to email me if you want to have somebody to talk to.
I wish you all the strength you need.

I've been wanting to change my uploading schedule, since it's pretty crappy.
I decided I want to put up at least 5 posts a week starting with Fashion Friday.
Even though it's Saturday right now, but yesterday my internet wouldn't allow me to post this for some reason.
I am loving this outfit right now. The combination of dark blue denim and chic black really works well. Especially combined with a pretty statement necklace and some high heels.
 
See you guys tomorrow with another post!
