Family Walk

For my boyfriend's grandfather's birthday we planned a family walk to the ice cream store.
My sister-in-law and I took our dog with us. At first, I was a little stressed out, because what if they didn't like each other? But I didn't had to worry, because they were the best of friends.
I had a relaxing day and tomorrow it will be even more relaxing, because we'll be doing totally nothing... Next week is holiday week with a day of Amsterdam and a sauna day ahead of us... Finally some time out from work!

Barcelona Quick Shop Stop

As I have told you, I could sneak out to the nearby shopping center between office closing hours and our appointment with the Barcelona colleagues to go out for some food.

One of my colleagues told me about the accessory store 'Misako' a while ago. I was totally in love with multiple bags from the website, but it was 15 euros for delivery costs. I waited my time until we got our trip to Barcelona and I went to the shopping center in hope to find a Misako store there. I immediately walked over to the ground plan and I found the store. I almost ran to it, because I was in little time and I wanted to visit some other shops too. 
I found the perfect bag I was looking for and an extra belt with a nice flower buckle. I also bought some bracelets in sale to cheer up my colleague. She had been lying in bed all day at the hotel, because she was feeling really sick.
As I was walking around at the store, I bumped into the coolest hand luggage trolley ever! 
I lend the trolley I was using for this trip from a friend, because I didn't have one. So, I needed one, but unfortunately I couldn't take it with me. I would have checked it in as luggage, because I already had a trolley with me :-(. You all know I'm a true cat fan and so you will understand how disappointed I was because I couldn't take it with me.
I will buy it, someday! It's not on their website yet, but it will... Soon... And then it will be mine!

I'm super happy with my new bag though, because it has the perfect size. It's not too big and not too small, because everything I need fits right in. 
You really have to check the website and let me know if you want to order something. Maybe we can order together so we can split the shipping costs ;-) !


Barcelona Work Trip Part 2

Our trip to Barcelona was called BLITZ, and that it was. We've been working hard, I think.
We didn't have the chance to visit the city (only the shopping center close to the office for about an hour).
I've learned a lot of this trip. I admire people who travel for work all the time, because it's exhausting, allthough I wouldn't mind. You meet people in person you speak with on the phone on a regular base and you get to taste another culture. I love this and I hope I get the chance to travel for my job in the future.
I got to know my colleagues who joined me a little bit better and I think this trip will make us a better team. I had a really great time. I'm home now and really tired so sleep tight!

Barcelona Work Trip Part 1

So far so good.
Our flight took off at 6.30h so I got up at 3.30h to leave for our office at 4h to arrive at 4.30 to carpool with my colleague to the airport.
This early morning wasn't pleasant, especially now! I had a few drinks and I'm sitting in a cab on our way to the hotel as we speak.
We had a lot to eat (wow good food) and a few drinks. I'm going to sleep now because I have an early morning. I'll try to tell you more about it tomorrow.
Ow, I also did a quick shop stop.
More about this tomorrow.

6 Kilos

I'm leaving on a business trip to Barcelona tomorrow. Quite the challenge because I can only take 6 kilos of hand luggage with me (laptop excl.)!
But I managed to pack only the necessary...
Beauty products: for showering, sunscreen, toothbrush,...
Clothing: blouse, pants, dress, cardigan, fancy shoes (my lovely Noiselles) and Allstars.
Underwear and socks.
Weight: 5 kilos
This was the perfect exercise for our trip to Thailand!

Mobile Lost?

I forgot my cell phone at home this morning.
I missed it in the morning, but then I got used to it. I thought I would be helpless without it, but I'm still alive and I'm fine. I need to do this more often, when I don't have to go to work that is!

Don't Hold the Leash

My boyfriend watching Cesar Milan finally pays off.
Fré could walk right next to us without us holding the leash. He obviously thought we were still holding it, but he did great! This is truly a huge improvement when you know how he behaved when we went for a walk in the past (Fré that is). 
I'm proud of my boys! They're the best of friends :)
