Update. About time!

Ok, so, there's been radio silence for a while. Sorry for that! After a year of posting EVERY day, I got a bit sick of it. BUT, a lot of positive things have happened to me these last few months...

Léon the Australian
A few days after New Year we got in contact with my boyfriend's diving buddy we met at Big Blue Diving Koh Tao (Thailand). He was coming to Brussels, so we invited him to stay at our place for a few days. Léon is an Australian guy, who moved to the UK for his new girlfriend (and to see the world). Because she had to go abroad for work, he thought "Who not visit Brussels while she's away?". And so he ended up spending a few days with us. I introduced him to my family and planned a few 'typical Belgian' things to do. We visited the Atomium, Flanders Fields and of course we went out drinking one night. Glad that last one ended well, because that man can drink...
It was such fun having him around, although I have to be honest that I was a bit uncomfortable going to the bathroom when he was walking around. But we'll sure meet up again!

My new job
I started my new job. I still have to get used to it, because it's totally different from my other one.

5 years of kissing
5 years passed since I kissed my boyfriend for the first time. It happened to be on Valentines Day. But that wasn't really the intention, since we were both drunk. About a month later we became a couple. 
I planned him a surprise dinner, which was funny, because he was a 100% sure we were driving to a certain restaurant we often go to and he was totally wrong.

Road Bike
Finally, I got on the road bike. I found my new passion! I still have to work out how to look good on the bike though. I feel so manly everytime... I already ordered my own bike wear so I don't have to use my boyfriend's stuff. Of course, how could you have guessed!? There's pink in it...

Took a Ride

Before summer my boyfriend bought himself a new race bike and I got his old one. I was super excited, because I liked spinning class and I wanted to ride for real. Unfortunately the local women's Cycle Club were already training for a few months. I would be too slow and inexperienced to ride along with them. Understandable, but I was a little disappointed. I told myself I would give my best at spinning class to get myself ready for spring 2014 and the open road. 
I parked the bike in the back of my mind until spinning class started last week.

Today, my boyfriend was working on his new bike at his parents house (we don't have the space at our apartment to give it a safe place), inflated the tires of his old one and proposed to go for a ride (on the bike, of course! Perv!). 
I didn't feel like it at first (I was wearing high heels, I came straight from work), but I gave in after a few minutes. I got a pair of socks from my boyfriend's mom and luckily I had some sneakers in the back of my car. 
And off we went. To my boyfriend's grandparents' house. Me and my new old race bike. 

I LOVED IT, although I was just wearing jeans. Respect for all you cycling women out there! There's nothing left from my Vajayjay! About time my Urbanist chamois get to production!

My boyfriend:
"I thought you would be complaining all the way!"
"I was surprised on how fast you went."
"You have a natural position on the bike."
"You look sexy!" (Say whaaat?? I put my jeans in my socks ^o)!)
"I think I fell in love with you again!"

I can't wait until spring ^^!

Urbanist

Are you familiar with the term: crowdfunding?

I was, but I never thought of sponsoring a project like that.

My boyfriend send me a link to such a project that needed funding. 

'Urbanist' is a US startup company of Christinia. She was in need of a good pair of cycling chamois panties and started to develop a little collection on her own.

The Brigitte

The Brigitte is great for spin class and daily commutes.

She's promised to be flattering and comfortable with a chamois insert thick enough to protect your va-jay-jay on your bike. And girls, we all know the feeling, don't we?

The Bettie

The Bettie is damn sexy if you ask me.

This chamois panties should be used for short distances (like biking from Sangria to Sangria during summer).
If you and your guy are wasted enough by the end of the evening, he still can take off your pants without you shaming yourself. 

I always admired young entrepreneurs with a great idea, but putting the money into it? I would have never done this in the past, I think. So I did a good deed and I did something that's out of my comfort zone: Investing my money where I'm not 100% sure I will get it back in some sort of way. 

I took a jump and I invested in a project that I think has a very good chance in succeeding. 

If you are a spinning fan or a cyclist, than take a look at this project and back it together with us on Kickstarter!

Me and my boyfriend funded $105,00.
