My New iPhone XS Gold

It’s something I can always count on. Something that never leaves my side. Something that I pretty much can’t live without. In this case I’m not talking about my boyfriend or my vanilla oatmilk latte. No, today’s blogpost is dedicated to my newest tech gadget: the new Apple iPhone XS Gold. After having my trusted iPhone 7 for 2 years, it was time for an upgrade. As someone who is always scrolling on social media, my phone is a very important business tool for me. Today I am going to share all the new improvements of Apple’s newest phone, as well as putting it to the ultimate test – is this going to be the new blogger or social media influencer essential?

Love Stories & Expectations

Why I Have Been Gone.

I am writing again. This simple statement feels like a huge accomplishment. Finding the time to pick up a pen and paper seems like one of the lesser difficulties in life. Most people would argue that other things, such as finding yourself, finding keys in your overflowing hand bag when running late, or finding the right way to that governmental building to file an overwhelming amount of bureaucratic documents in order to stay in a country you actually like are harder things in life to find.

TRAVEL

LA Instagram Hotspot Guide

Ever since I moved from the Netherlands to the United States, almost every person asked me “have you already been to LA?” and if I said I was too busy studying in law school to travel much, everyone would respond with “You have to visit Los Angeles, for sure.” After I graduated, me and Kal decided that we should indeed book a trip to LA, so we did. This blogpost is going to be an LA Instagram Hotspot Guide, filled with my favorite Instagrammable places in the City of Angels. Hope you enjoy!
