Today is the 5 year anniversary of the death of pop legend Michael Jackson. It has been 5 years ago that the world lost the King of Pop. I still remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard this sad news. Do you remember? To honor this legend who will never be forgotten I would like to take a moment to remember him and share my favorite video of him starring actor Eddy Murphy and model Iman Abdulmajid. Which video do you think it is? Excuse the puns (which were a little bit intended). Continue reading “Tribute to Michael Jackson”

Yes! It’s Summertime, my favorite season of the year. Sunshine, colorful dresses, bright nail polish, skirts, shorts, tank tops, flip-flops, sandals and shades.

Last week I went to my first Blogger event in Amsterdam on May 28. After I started my blog I also went on the internet to explore the blogging world a little, see what it’s out there for bloggers like myself and meet other bloggers. During my search I found Blog Society. This is a Blogger network for Dutch bloggers that helps marketing your blog, gets you to connect with other bloggers, and provides you with community benefits. The idea sounded nice, and after 6 weeks online with XX Fashion Diva I decided to sign up. It wasn’t long after that I found out they were going to organize a Blogger Event for the newbies to get to know one another. Continue reading “My first Blogger Event”

Fashionista’s like to look good, that’s a fact. Most of us want to be a certain size while we’re at it, because we want to be able to fit in the latest trends and show off our toned bodies and curves as much as we can, in a tasteful way that is. As a nutritionist and a fashionista/ stylist I have the knowledge to apply both healthy eating and styling to my own life. My main mission on XX Fashion Diva is to share that knowledge of fashion and style with you, but every now and then give you some tips and ideas on food and diet (that’s why I created this category). Because food (nutrition) is the basic of everything in life. In order to look good you have to feel good. And in order to feel good you have to eat well and nurture your body. Continue reading “Seven quick tips to a healthier diet”
