A Little Frustration.

Hey you there! How are you?

So today I'm going to post something about a little frustration I have since shortly, the reason why I prefer to pay with a bankcard and maybe even why I never have cash on me. When you pay with cash, you Always Always have to check your money before leaving the shop because the marchant never gives you the money he has to give you...

This little frustration came up some days, last day of work I had to go with the bus, and saw a little supermarket and thought "Damn, still not eaten anything, I'm going to buy a croissant and a bottle of water". Of course, you have to pay like €2 for that but the only money you have in your wallet is a bill of €20. You pay and with your head still not awake, you don't count the money and what did I realised when I arrived at my work? He paid me €5 too little... Hatefully! In first time, it isn't a lot of money, but it's the principle. It is not because it's 7 in the morning, that I stil didn't drunk a coffee and really want him to hurry up that he had to let me pay extra for that stupid croissant and water.

Am I the only one with this frustration? Did it happen to you too?

Quote of the month: Septembre 2015

Hello there!

Like you probably already saw, earlier I did a Quote of the week every week, but I think otherwise this blog is gonna be only quotes and nothing really interesting anymore, I thought a quote on the beginning of every month was enough.

So this month, I found a beautiful one in one of my favourites books: A Work in Progress.

“It’s okay. It may not seem like it right now, but you are going to be fine. I know it’s scary, but don’t be afraid. You are who you are, and you should love that person, and I don’t want anyone to have to go through 22 years of their life afraid to accept that.”
― Connor Franta

I found it perfect for the moment I'm passing through at the moment. Being graduated, going to University, being an adult now, having my driving licence, ... It's kind of scary in the beginning, and this holidays were hard because I was asking myself "Have I choosen the right course?", "Do I really wanna do that the rest of my life?", "What now? What is coming now?", "Will my friends of high school still be my friends?" and surely "Am I ready for the adult life?"

So yes, it didn't seem great this holidays, but now that "The real life" is coming closer I think it's going to be fine. And if it isn't the right choice, I can still change. If I don't want to do that for the rest of my life, well I will find out. What is coming now, is a new life, but an experience more. And real friends will stay friends. Even if you're life is changing.

Have you already had this phase in your life?
If this phase is still to happen in your life, I hope this quote will help you out of the labyrinth you will be. (Hard times are there to make the good times better!)

Lou and the Chocolate Factory.

Hello you there!

Today has been kind of weird day, like a day they called "where you turn a page, begin a new chapter, etc". It was my last day of work of this summer in a chocolate factory. You may find this weird that I find this so important, but it was my first month of real work (not like being an animator) that I do during the summer. I've done some days there too before, like with Christmas or Valentine but it was never a long time.

The first day, I will Always remember, it was a loooong day ( I thought it was endless, I didn't imagine how I could survive there a month). We had filled boxes with chocolate, they learned me how to pack good,etc. But in the afternoon, I received a big box with bags and a roll of stickers. I had to stick 800 stickers on the bottom of the bags... I thought they were just kidding, giving me the shitty work because I was just a student. When I went proudly to the one who gave me the bags and said I finished them all, she said "Now you have to put the cardboards in all the bags". In the evening, after work, I was thinking this would be one hell if it was like this the whole month.

And yes, it was still boring work every day: filling boxes with (sometimes the same) chocolates, weighing them, put a catalog with the different chocolates in it, pack them in a gift package, close them with a knot or bow. But, there was Always something different, another praline, another gift package,...

So, every day I've learned how the working life was but also that you had to enjoy the little differnces, appreciate your colleagues and make the best of every moment. Otherwise, a day can be very long. (One day, we were all so tired of putting the same praline in the same box, that we were like singing with the radio, making stupid jokes and things like that. It's weird if you know that my colleagues had children a little bit younger or mostly older than me. But I liked it!)

And did you do some work this holidays? How was your experience?

Love of Lou!

Movie Time: The Age of Adaline

Hey there!

I finally found how to change my Bio again haha! It's a better one for the new beginning, now I have to change my background but I have really no idea in which... if you have any suggestion, leave a message!

Okay, now back to the subject: not so long time ago I saw there was a new movie coming out: The Age of Adaline with Blake Lively. First, just looking at the pictures I thought it was going to be an extraordinary movie but reading the resume of it, I found it totaly weird. (But my sister came saying it was so beautiful and that I had to see it. I am grateful to her that she kind of obliged me, otherwise I would have missed that little pearl!)

Adaline, is a a young woman born at the turn of the 20th century, is made ageless after an accident in a night. After a long time of solidarity, she finally met someone who is worth to give up her eternal life.

In the beginning, it tooks a certain time before the story really began but from the begin I was totaly fan of Adaline aka Blake. She is dressed classy all the time, vintage but fashionable. Beside she's dressed very well, she Always does her hair perfectly! Here there are some of her hairstyles. When she first met Ellis, she seemed to be really sure of herself and playing a hard-to-get, but you realise that she's just protecting him (and herself). She's a character everybody would like because of her tenderness and quietness.

 

Ellis, the man who felt in love with Adaline, is a real gentleman like every woman wants to meet one day. I have to admit, I also found him charming and lovely. He's probable not the most beautiful man but he's surely an example for men nowadays.

In the end, I found it a touching movie, with a moving story of two loving persons. I loved it!

Have you seen the movie ? Did you like it?

New beginning & Mons 2015.

Hey everyone!

It's been a while I've blogged and I thought stopping it at all. Since a while I think of blogging again, because I really miss it. But this time I don't want to blog about make-up, clothes,etc. No, this time I want to write about whatever I want. This blog is going to be a kind of diary where I just going to put my ideas about everything. I hope you're going to enjoy it more than before.

So let's began with something I've done a little time ago, but just found the pictures back of it. Mons 2015. The European city of Culture in 2015. I was excited when I heard it was in Belgium so we went this summer with the whole family to see it, like a month ago. It was a warm summerday, but not too warm. I was thinking about everything what could be there, all the beautiful things that would be set up, etc when we rode to Mons.

Once there, we parked our car in a little thiny parking open especially for Mons 2015. Then we searched our way thourght the Streets of Mons. Which, I found, was not so easy. There was nothing to indicate the way or whatever. Okay, when we approached the place with the Giant Sunflower Labyrinth, all shops had a little sunflower at their door.

We didn't do the Labyrinth, because the queue of people was just too long under the burning sun. So first, my mom and I took some pictures of the sunflowers in the middle of the city and then we went searching the other things of Culture to see.

We haven't find a lot, and that was just a big disapointement for me (and other people probably also): there wasn't a lot. Jus those awesome words, quotes and phrases everywhere in the city. But otherwise, there wasn't a lot.... Even in the shopping Streets, lots of shops were closed, no flowers on any house, etc.


 (I like this one, I don't know why but that quote with the closed windows... matching perfectly)

 

 I love to see the Streets just decorated with something simple but so powerful: Words.

 


Even if it wasn't such a big deal as I hoped it would be, I was happy to go there because it was a nice little family trip ending with a Ice Cream (what Always make a lot of things better).

 

Do you went to Mons 2015 or in another year to a European City of Culture? What was there to see?

Love of Lou!

Plog #2 Working @Chocolade Salon Brussels!

Hey everyone!

What's going on?

Normally I don't really do plogs are sharing my week with you (I only did it once). And I like it but nothing more... but I wanna try it once again.

Sunday I had the chance to work in "Le Salon du Chocolat" in Brussels with my job Valentino. I was really excited with knowing I will work there, where there is like a lot of great chocolatiers like Marcolini (not himself, but his workers), Darcis, etc. There are much nice and exeptional things made with chocolate. You have many chocolatefountains, chocolat drawings and also an Chocolate dress fashion show. I haven't seen much of all those nice things, because I had to work hard (harder than I thought). But my parents went also to it, just to visist the Salon and took some pictures for me. Here they are...

 This are the dresses made of Chocolat (I have seen the fashion show  because I could see it was next to my stand, but I could'n take pictures, sorry!). I liked the dresses a lot. Miss Belgium 2015 also wear one of them, the winning one I thought. Nice to see!

 a chocolate fountain made by Callebaut!

This last picture is so cool, it is a sushi bar with sushi's made of chocolat! How cool?

Q: What did you thought of the pictures?

Sephora Nailpolish!

Hey Everyone!

How are you going ?


I have a total new nailpolish from Sephora, a brand I've never tested before.

In fact, I didn't bought it. When I've bought a little present in the Sephora I realised I hadn't a card member. I received one and they said that the next time that I will buy something there,I'll receive a free nailpolish. So, I went back buying something and choosed a nailpolish...

When I saw this, I was totally in love with it.. I like it because it isn't really a colour, it is green/blue metallic.(It kind of looks like a green-blue galaxy). I find it classy and original without being busy for hours.

It is also a good quality, because, I first wear it without topcoat and it stays on my nails like I had a topcoat on (I forgot totally to do some on, haha!).
I received this one but normally you can have it for the price of €4.95. I think it's a good price for the quality and you have a large collection of colours.

Here, I will end my little blogpost with the announcement that, from now on, every satur-or sunday I'll do a post (I'm trying to do it every saturday), so from now on, take a look each weekend!

Love of Lou!
