In a few days I will be traveling to my favorite
city in the world: Los Angeles!!!
LA was my first US experience back in 2005 and
that’s the main reason why it has a special
place in my heart.
I’ve been in love with the US forever.
Since I was little I always dreamed about going there.
As a child my perception of the world
was how you would see it on TV which were
American movies and series. I know better now of course!
But then, when I was actually standing in Hollywood
it felt like I was in a movie hahaha like
this picture below:
The second thing which made that trip special was
how it became to be.
During my lunch break at the airport (I was a ground
stewardess back then) I was talking to my colleagues
about wanting to do something new and exciting like traveling to LA.
(I had never traveled long distance before).
I was 24 and felt the need to grow in my life experiences.
Then my colleague (at the time) Saskia said without a doubt:
” I would go with you in a heartbeat “ . 6 weeks later
we find ourselves on a flight to LA! The funny thing
is we weren’t ‘friends’ outside of work
so during the flight we told each other our life
stories and with all our memories together in LA we
now have a very special bond.
Here we were dining at Shabu Shabu in Highland Mall.
And this picture still makes me laugh!
A tramp asked us if we wanted a picture together so we said
“Yes!”
Afterwords he asked for some pocket change and
we were more than happy to give him some.
After he left we saw the result on the camera
for what we had “paid” for and it just made us laugh hahaha.
I love this sultry chill vibe going on in LA like in this picture…
Back to this upcoming trip, it’s going to be extra special.
It’s a gift to myself :).
I have been going through a roller-coaster of events
in a short amount of time, and one can only deal
in a short amount of time, and one can only deal
with so much at a time. My world was falling apart…..
I couldn’t sleep anymore, I had this emotional pain in my
shoulder (like R.S.I.), I wasn’t depressive nor
happy either…. I felt kinda lost and couldn’t function in
the real world so I took a break from everything.
the real world so I took a break from everything.
During that break I unexpectedly found out what
it is I would like to do in life:
it is I would like to do in life:
~Becoming a Make-up Artist! (MUA)~
Through youtube I met an American MUA who inspired me so
much in chasing my dream. I’ve always loved Make-up and
the world of beauty and suddenly it became
clear to me that Make-up is what I want
the world of beauty and suddenly it became
clear to me that Make-up is what I want
to do on a professional level.
Thanks to her I began to feel sparkles again inside
and I am so happy now to have found my true
and I am so happy now to have found my true
goal in life. So I just had to meet her!
(If you want to know who that person is
then follow this Blog!)
Yes, this trip is all about taking the first step of my dream
and leaving the past in the past…
Are you in love with LA or the States as I am?
Then stay tuned for more as I intend to Blog more about the US
and other American things, brands and products I like!
