Turkey day 2

Good morning sweeties, 

It's time to tell you all about the second day in Turkey. I have to admit, I stock my pictures with OneDrive and I have to think hard whether these pictures are from the second or the third day, but I think I'm right with these. 

So second day, I got up at around 8 o'clock. I know that's early but I had been getting up at 7 for a couple months now so I was still in that rythm I guess because normally on holiday I would stay in bed until 10 at least (I did that for all the other days btw).

Back in Belgium I was looking for a cool bathingsuit and I couldn't find one. I went to Forever21 and got this pretty red one on sale! It was the last one and it was fit for my size. Can you already guess how happy I was?! About the hat, I got that one at Iam. I saw it in Antwerp first but I thought like no, it doesn't fit me that well. But then we were at the airport in Eindhoven and there's an Iam store and I tried it on again. And to be honest, it definitely wasn't a misbargain! 

Me and my nephew got breakfast and decided to go around the hotel to check everything out. As you might see on these pictures, the second day was actually the most cloudy one. 

As I was unpacking my bags, I noticed that I didn't bring my anticonception nor my allergypills. I was a bit worried about that so I went to Guest Relations to ask if I needed a receipt from the doctor for that. Apparently you don't, you can get it just like that in Turkey.

So I asked my nephew if he wanted to come with me to the city to get them. He called his mom and a couple of minutes later, we were all going into town. 

We had the all-inclusive formula at our hotel so drinks were for free. I can't even count how many times I had alcohol for breakfast. I left that bad habbit once I got back to Belgium, I can assure you that.

And what did I wear on the most cloudy day of our holiday? Well, I found my shirt and pants at Forever21, just as my bathingsuit they were on sale! The top is actually a Plus Size. But I really liked the colour and I decided just to try it on. I kind of like the fact that it is so oversized, it makes it very comfortable to wear it over your bikini and if you wear the shirt in your pants, you wouldn't even notice that it's a plus size. Slippers are from Havaianas (I might have 10 pairs of those) and glasses are from C&A. 

At the hotel there are several restaurants where you can eat dinner. You have the main restaurant, the steakhouse, a Greek restaurant, the Italian restaurant and also a Chinese restaurant which was on the menu for that night. I decided to wear a long dress from the brand Anonymous. Together with my pink bernadette, I both got them from Coccas Noorderwijk. We had a great meal and we also got some drinks afterwards at the local disco. 

Enjoyed my second day, check!

Have a nice Friyaaayyyyy

Turkey day 1

Hello my loves, 

I hope you are all doing good. I've been quite busy these last couple of months so now it was time to relax a little. With Easter break we always go to Turkey. Normally for 10 days but this year we went for a day extra. Since I haven't posted for a while, I'll lead you trough my trip day by day so here is day 1...

I always go with my auntie, uncle, nephew and their best friends. But when we get there, there are always people we know from other vacations so we end up having dinner with 20 people...

If there is one thing that I really hate in life it would be to pack my bags. I mean, I don't mind going on a citytrip for 3 days because you know what you'll wear. But if you go on a holiday for more than a week, God what do you take?

I always just pack my new clothes, without looking at which pieces fit together. I started packing on Friday at 11 pm and I had to be at my aunties place the next morning at 7. So I got up at 5 to unpack my bag and pack it again (I guess we all know this problem??)

 

This picture was taken at the airport with the fabulous Wendy (my auntie's best friend). We departed from Eindhoven airport. I really think I become another person when I go on a holiday, just because I barely get a day off troughout the year.

We had a very good flight, not that much turbulence at all. Although, I was sleeping during the flight and the turbulence woke me once but it didn't last long. I always like to sit next to the window. First of all I like to take pictures when I'm in the sky but it also gives me a feeling of being in control (don't ask me why, it's all in my head I guess). 

After a 1h drive with the bus, we arrived at our hotel, Voyage Sorgun. Last year we've been to the same hotel but in Belek. For me it was the first time in this hotel but my family has been here many times before. The service they offer is excellent and the rooms are so pretty and clean!

We were all so tired after our trip so we had dinner, had a couple of drinks and went to bed quite early. We knew the next day was going to be as exhausting as this one... Free drinks & sun all day, awesome combo! 

Goodnight

Ricoré mornings

Hello my loves, 

The other day I got this little enveloppe in my mail from Nestlé. I got 7 little bags with the Ricoré powder in it. It's 2/3 cichorei and 1/3 coffee. So it tastes a bit lighter than coffee.

So as I said at the beginning, I got to try it for 7 days. It's like "a 7-day-balance-plan". You can choose to mix it with water or to mix it with milk. 

 

 I have to say, when I drink regular coffee, I like a latté because the taste is more soft (do you say that about how something tastes? I don't know but you know what I mean). But obviously I had to taste the purity of this product, which means no milk and sugar on the first day. 

 
 

To be honest it was the first time I tried Ricoré. I was very surprised from the first taste. It really tasted a bit lighter ( than regular coffee, but I liked it! I did mix it with water you know, I thought mixing it with only milk would make it look like chocolatemilk. 

I don't really know that I had to notice a difference, if it would make me more energetic or something, but if that were the case, it didn't really make me more active. I did make it trough every day though ;). I know for a fact that you can buy Ricoré in a lot of (not to say almost all) supermarkets. I would definitely buy it because of the taste. Although I did miss my milk & sugar on the first day. But yeah, bad habits are hard to break.. 

Kisses
