#POSEONTOUR / #SQUADGALS TAKE IBIZA

Remember the Pink Ladies from Grease, the Spice Girls, Destiny's Child or Taylor Swift's 

girl squad? Brace yourself for the #SQUADGALS with: high heels addict (Formula) Farah, tropical
journalist Gabrielle Koster, Asian travel beauty (Hashtag by) Lily, health freak Nathalie Kemna,
model appearing bookworm Sophie (Radish To Wear) & creative unicorn ME. We just took over
Ibiza and now we're delegating the virtual world ;-)

From a yacht trip with Smart Charter to Formentera to one hell of a spa day at paradise Atzaro - not 
to mention our Sam Friday villa, HELLO?! -  or yoga sessions with The Wellness Source in our own
back yard, a horrible night at Pacha (yes we had) and an uber delish acaï breakfast from Amazonia
which was served at our one and only la villa.

And this all thanks to the lovely ladies from Essential Ibiza, who were our tour guide for the
whole week. This was maybe 1/10 of our one week trip on Ibiza, so let me take you on this
virtual Ibiza tour...

#POSEONTOUR / ROUTE AUSTRALIA

In less than two weeks and 3000KM further - 3324 to be exact - we accomplished our own
improvised "Route Australia": PERTH - GERALDTON - CARNARVON - CORAL BAY - 
EXMOUTH - DENHAM - MONKEY MIA - KALBARRI - JURIEN BAY - PERTH.
(Can I get an) AMEN! Thank you.

From swimming with wild dolphins to an unexpected sky dive, livin' the (camping) life, silent disco's
at Fringe World Festival and running around topless on the highways of Western Australia. 

Can you imagine the song "Time Of My Life" pops in my head every single time I'm getting 

flash backs of this vacation?! My video is also on repeat ever since I uploaded it.

"An unexpected sky dive." ME? That girl that was too afraid to go on a plain and now jumped out 

of one? Well, that escalated quickly... It was my birthday present from the beloved BF. (Otherwise 

I wouldn't have done it, EVER) Ihavethecutestboyfriendintheworld.com. Three guesses what my 

reaction was when he told me what he got me for my birthday: "HAHAHAHA!" But when the 

awkward silence began, I realized he was talking serious F-ing business. I ignored his proposal for 

as long as I could, but as we're getting closer to Jurien Bay, my inner-yolo came out and was totally 

in for it.

Endless road views, playing with quokka's (YAS I also scored a selfie!) and spotting kangaroos.

This was by far the best vacation EVAH.

Check out our "Route Australia" here on Google Maps.

#POSEONTOUR / MY VIEW ON (WESTERN) AUSTRALIA

Just watch, enjoy and let me know what you think ;)

#POSEONTOUR / HOTEL AWAY FROM HOME: FOUR POINTS BY SHERATON BALI

From the "WTF-is-this-for-real?!" villa's to the "OMG-are-you-kidding-me?!" hotels on Bali,

 this hotel was definitely my all time favorite: Four Points by Sheraton, Kuta. With the warmest 

welcome - literally - and farewell, because sadly, this was our last stop on magical island Bali.

Our stay was all about food (our whole vacation was actually all about food). From a breakfast 

buffet for champs to this awesome pizza baking workshop, Insta-material food surprises in our 

room (photo 3!), romantic dinner sessions at The Best Brew restaurant and sipping thé best 

smoothies at Four Points' swimming pool. Luckily they had an awesome gym as well.

Talking about the swimming pool, HALLELUJAH! Ever experienced a pool where you could 

literally - I repeat: literally - jump in from your hotel room? (Unsafe jumps don't count, of course). 

I DID!

Besides the food feast, pool parties, not to mention the interior. Halle-f'ing-lujah times two! 

The entrance looks like a tropical Balinese ballroom. The lamps look like a piece of art. And 

every corner in this hotel is just artistry and master craftsmanship. Even the tiles on the floor are 

Insta-material!

It sounds we were saving the best for last, huh? Watch it yourself...

#POSEONTOUR / THE BALI GIRL TOUR GUIDE

Besides all the tips my little island babe Nathalie gave me, the amount of treasures I found
on beyond beauty Bali is absolutely mind blowing! To be honest, it isn't that hard to find
ah-mazing spots, but finding the cherry on top of the smoothie - Bali has a healthy lifestyle -
is definitely a job for the die hards. Let's meet this lunatic: ME!

Are you ready for my (with) Who, What (to do), When (to stay), Where (to go), Why (should 
you visit) and How (long) Bali guide?

#POSEONTOUR #LINTERIOR / BALI HOME TOUR

Yeah, this was one of my villa's on Bali, Ametis Villa.We had a personal Butler - Putu, such a cutie - 

a private pool and garden, "room service" or better said, served breakfast everyday plus dinner, 

cocktails and Balinese massages, yep that's was all it I guess. Oh and I almost forgot, a surprise 

birthday cake. #NOBIGGIE

Of course I didn't forgot my surprise birthday cake and that "#nobiggie" was the biggest joke I ever 

made because let me be clear about something: this villa was heaven on earth, but then even better. 

HAHA, HALLELUJAH!

I know, I know everybody always says the "yeah it was so amazing, I want to stay here forever 

#takemeback" bullcrap, but seriously guys, I just can't deny I'm almost crying my eyes out when 

I'm looking at these pictures again. Oh my Gucci, this was the sh*t. Paradise (by the dashboard light) 

kinda sh*t. Some paradise I never experienced before. 

Wanna discover thé hidden gem of Bali? Then this is the place honeys.
Terima kasih for having me Ametis Villa, you brought my Bali trip to a whole next level!

#POSEONTOUR / MY VIEW ON BALI

It was a challenge to put two whole weeks on Bali in just a two minutes video. But hallelujah I did it! 

And this is just a warm up from all the posts that are coming up.

Let's waste no more words and you better watch it... #POSEONTOUR

#LINSPIRATION / TOP 15 FASHION WEEK ORGASM LOOKS

Ha! You were thinking I was gonna overload you with all my jealous making Bali and 

Australia photos, right? ;) But you were wrong, for now. Okay, I was on the other side of the world, 

but I virtually was in New York, Milano, London and Paris the last month for Fashion Week. 

*Long live the WiFi*

Black, purple, beige, pastel, lace(s), ruffles, fringe, leather, fur and OTK boots. And this, ladies 

and gentlemen, was the fastest Fall Winter '16/'17 trend course ever given. Don't ask me why I 

made it so hard on myself, but I selected only 15(!) killer looks of Fashion Month. These looks 

will almost give you an orgasm because they're just too hot to handle. 

So this is what I'll be wearing next Winter... ;)

#FACETIME / PROJECT SMILE BRILLIANT

You know how white teeth makes me feel? SEXY. It makes me wanna laugh even harder than
I already did, so the full attention are on my teeth and smile! Don't if know that's quite sexy but
that's okay :D

I'm not that "fake it till you make it" kinda girl, but I must confess: I used teeth whitener and
I'm proud of it! I always dreamed of that "semi" Hollywood smile - not that The Bold And The 
Beautiful kinda one, but a little less - but at the dentist it costs around $500,00 which is kinda
expensive, don't you think?

Then I discovered Smile Brilliant. And besides they detoxed me from my coffee addiction - 'cause 
let me tell you honey, it's not doing anythang good to ya teeth - they made my dream come true.
It's cheap, it's easy, it's fast - your teeth are white within a week! - and less scary than at the dentist
because you're doing it yourself at home. I wanted to be the guinea pig for this "Project White Smile"
and share my experience with you.

So let me show you the whole process of my Smile Brilliant teeth whitening experience.
There are actually just 6 steps, 1 week and you're done...

#ADATEWITH / MEET MY MADE-COACH YVONNE BERKIEN

My name is Linsey and I don't want to be made in a prom Queen or cheerleader, I want to be
made in a self confident business woman! And no, this is not in collaboration with MTV, but
with YB Motive. Meet my made-coach Yvonne Berkien! She is an executive coach, specialized in
business, career and cross-culture coaching. So that means, wherever you are on the planet, you can
be coached by Miss Berkien whenever you want. Face to face, by Skype or even by phone.

I met Yvonne at our weekly kick box training, where we punch each other in the face sometimes
(kidding, of course). Don't be judged by this lady's appearance because, trust me, she can be
 spicy (and funny)! Her main goal to you is: BE POSITIVE & KEEP ON SHINING.

And this is my experience with my made-coach Yvonne…

#TIMEMACHINE / BEST OF 2015

"Never look back they said, it won't be fun they said". Well f*ck that, 'cause I just traveled through 

2K15 with my time machine and in one word: MAGICAL.

The selfies I took, the people I met, the food I ate, the parties I've been to, the 2827262 interior 

changes at my home, the places I've seen, the tattoo(s) I got, the outfits I wore, the offices I had 

and the hairdo's I rocked. 

Jesus Christ a lot happenend in 2015! Not to mention Bryan moved in with me in my little 

dream apartment in Amsterdam, which was a huge step but a dream come true. 

 I captured these moments one by one, because, thats what I do. And you were all there by my side. 

Mostly virtually, but hey, being there on- or offline, you were there. And I can't thank you enough for 

all your support! Your sweetest comments, messages, followings and especially: the love.

2016 is the year of changes, spreading even more love, discover the world and focussing on 

what makes me truly happy. And I recommend you to do the same. You're never too old or too 

late to set another goal or to dream a new dream. HAPPY 2K16 HONEYS!

#LINSTAGRAM / #MERRYPOSEMASS

After the #shamelessselfies, #nofilter pics, #foodporn, #OOTD's and endless hashtags, 

this #Linstagram 2015 is getting to and end. Oh and I enjoyed it, for sure.

That year I hit the 10K - 10,3K to be exact - and pumped up my phonetography skills 

by letting this app join my daily routine (Checking like 20 times a day and posting 1 to 3 times on 

a daily base, #sorrynotsorry). You think these followers came easy? Well, think twice darling. 

Let me be one of the realists on "planet Instagram": it's blood, sweat and tears baby. 

And I'm not even over reacting a bit. If someone tells you they getting their followers without 

any effort, they're either lying or buying them. With some exceptions, of course (read: the 

Kardashian family for example).

As I'm officially an Insta diehard right now - I even personalized it from Instagram to

 Linstagram - I want to show you what brought me all these 10,3K followers (which is just as 

much inhabitants the Greek island Mykonos has, HELLO!) to my Instagram account. "Here are 

the nominees for Linstagram's most liked pics of 2015..."

#STRIKEAPOSE / CHRISTMAS OUTFIT IDEAS PART 3: THE DAZZLING DAUGHTER (IN LAW)

Everybody's like: "Yay, it's Christmas, we can finally wear glitter, yay!". Well listen honey, then it's

Christmas 365 days a year for me *I wish* and for my gal Amanda a.k.a. my exploded disco ball.

I'm an expert when it comes to wearing sequins, glitters or embellished pieces. So let me show you

how you can sparkle even more than your own Christmas tree. Yep, that's right ladies, you're gonna

dress up that even your own Christmas tree gets jealous!

Since we all want to look like the perfect daughter (in law) on Christmas day, let's start with wearing

something decent: a suit. Not the kind of suit you had in mind when you saw the one I was wearing,

right? ;) But, a suit is a suit, period.

To tone it down a little - so your (grand)parents can still make it to the next X-mas - I wore a 
chunky SNF sweater over it. "But what about the shoes?" Three guesses... Sparkle shoes of course! 
Hello, it's Christmas, be dazzling darling!

#STRIKEAPOSE / CHRISTMAS OUTFIT IDEAS PART 2: MERRY HANGOVER

How to spend your Christmas Eve is totally up to you, but what to wear on Christmas Eve is totally

up to me! Kidding, of course, but I would love to help you out, like I'm your big (or little) sister ;)

So while you're "Simply.Having. a-drunk-and-fun Christmas time!", it definitely doesn't mean you

can't look cute.

Although everybody looks cuter after 3 mojito's, 2 glasses of champagne and a Jägermeister shot.
But let's focus on ourselves and on the people who are wise and sober (we call them "Bob" in Dutch, 
don't ask me why tho)...

For my Christmas Eve look I've chosen for thé color of the season (and X-mas): burgundy.

Like this pwetty playsuit from SNF. You just cannot go wrong with this one on any type of skin or
hair color. I'm not that type of high heel person anymore - or maybe it's just a phase - but with
Christmas I feel kinda obliged and I'm totally fine with that.

And say no to silver and yes to GOLD when it comes to accessorize."Cauz I ain't sayin' she a 
gold digger, but she ain't messin' with no broke n*****" Well, that was corny...

#STRIKEAPOSE / CHRISTMAS OUTFIT IDEAS PART 1: SANTA'S GIRL BOSS

 How to wear a ugly Christmas sweater without looking ugly? Combine it with sexy stuff! Add

a (faux) leather SNF skirt that makes your butt look like a Kardashian booty, show some little nudity

on the legs (read: no tights!), some flirtatious - over the knee or not over the knee - boots with heels,

of course. And last but not least: put on some red lipstick and own da place, Santa's Girl Boss!

 

With this killer look your female colleagues will even hate you more and your male workmates

can't stop staring. But you know what? You don't give a damn and you're gonna enjoy your

corporate Christmas party like a boss in this outfit.

 

Since you're already on the go - with a soy cappuccino, of course - get some "oliebollen" (typical

Dutch, Google it) on your way to work and thank me later. Trust me, you're the queen of the office.

I did it and it worked big time!

#LINSPIRATION / IF SANTA REALLY LOVES ME...

...He would spoil me with getting me my whole wish list. Or even better said: want list. And I 

can assure you, it's a BIG one. But I was a good girl this year, and last year, that year before, 

even that year before! So dear Santa, don't you think I deserve it? ;) And you deserve a Chanel 

bag as well, right?!

From starry kickboxing gloves to this glitter exploded iPhone case. Hey, I need to protect me ánd 

my phone, okay?! It's all in this list. Gifts for in your home (sweet home), fashionable stuff for at 

your office and books with images instead of text. It's all in this want list for you, for me and for her.

HINT HINT HINT, Merry Christmas! Mom, dad, boyrfiend, you get it? ;)

#HOTSPOT / BEAUTY STUDIO NATUREL

Welcome to one of my favorite spots in Amsterdam! The place where you forget all the fuss of the 

city for a moment, a place where you can relax to the max and walk out like a true natural beauty: 

Beauty Studio Naturel. This beauty salon is my hotspot when it comes to organic facials, 

peelings, plucking and dying my brows and to chit chat with the lovely and caring owner; Dona. 

Dona is like the French mom I've never had. She is sweet, truly honest and knows seriously 

everything about your skin and cosmetics. The best quote Dona ever told me, with her cute 

French/Dutch accent: "If you can't eat it, don't put it on your face either". 

She's specialized to work with organic products, therefrom the name of the salon "Beauty Studio 

Naturel" of course ;-) Brands like Jeunesse and Lakshmi are her ultimate favorites to use for facials. 

Besides my office, I can definitely call this place my second home. I had acne, so my skin was 

very bad. And this madame helped me a lot to process and end this journey as good and fast as 

possible. She will always welcome you with open arms, no matter how your skin looks like. 

With her passion for beauty, she will makes your skin looks like a baby skin again.

Visit Beauty Studio Naturel at Cornelis Trooststraat 22, 1072 JE in Amsterdam.

#STRIKEAPOSE / 24 HOURS IN HAMBURG

 Oh Hamburg(ers), you were sehr schön! After seeing my last post about Hamburg, you'd maybe

thought it was all pampering and relaxing. Well, you were wrong all the time. This trip was the living

proof of how productive you can be in 24 hours. "I swear that the evidence that I shall give, shall be

the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth"...

#POSEONTOUR / #SHOEPARTY WITH SYLVIE MEIS IN HAMBURG

...Stays in Hamburg. And here on the blog, of course ;-) So brace yourself, an overload of Hamburg 
pics is coming! #TheBloggerArmy was taking over this city last week for exactly 24 hours(!) And 
our weapons were shoes, lots of shoes. VanHaren shoes to be exact. The captain of our squad? 
The one and only Miss Sylvie Meis. And I had a date with her...

...A speed date to be exact. So cute Sylvie was all dressed up for our speed date! But Sylvie

isn't Sylvie without looking like a Hollywood star that walked right of a red carpet, or out of

Madam Tussauds. She looks as perf as a doll! Imagine how I felt next to this woman with my knitted

nerdy sweater, the most basic jeans ever and some flat, black booties... Hashtag underdressed!

Which was a totally new experience since I'm always "that girl" that's even more dressed up than the

bride on her wedding.

So this is how our (speed) date went: Sylvie: "Oeh, I looove your bag!" Me: "Thanks! Wanna swap it

for your dress?" Sylvie: "Hahaha!" Me: ":)". Photographer: "3, 2, 1... *Click*." We had fun.

The End.

#LINSPIRATION / ON BLACK FRIDAYS WE WEAR BLACK

 

No time to talk, no time to waste. It's shop 'o clock! Are you ready for this Black Friday madness?
Here are some Black Friday survival tips in a row and a major selection of black stuff you really

need to own in your life (with loads of sale of course)...
