How to avoid "bad buys"?


The sales are back! Most people will go shopping, and probably have some "bad buys" on them. This shirt that looks fine and only did cost €5. You should have spent that 5 euros better on that one beautiful jacket that was still at the expensive side. Here are some tips to avoid bad buys next time. 1 nice dress that you actually wear often is better than 5 shirts that were almost free that you never wear. Save that closet space for clothes that are actually worth it.

1. Try EVERYTHING on in the changing rooms. Some stores their sizes are diffrent and even if you're used to the sizes in that store still try it on. Maybe it doesn't look good on you, and you instantly know if you feel good in those clothes.

2. Go to the stores in advance. If you've seen the store before and the articles they sell, you already know where to look for what you want AND you've had time to think about what you want to buy.

3. Don't buy something because it's cheap. Ask yourself if you would want it if it was more expensive and if the answer is yes just buy it.

4. Ask yourself questions about the clothes you want to buy. Will I wear this? When will I wear this? How often will I wear it? Is it worth the price? Do I already have something similar in my closet? Do I have anything that matches it? Does it really fit well? Are all examples of questions you should ask to yourself.

5. Go with friends. They can judge how the clothes look on you with a more clear mind than you can.

My 10 favorite TV-shows

Like I have promised you all here's my post on my favorite TV-shows


10. Criminal Minds
       This is a show about a group of people who work for the FBI and they always try to find serial killers which they can do in 50 minutes 99% of the time. Too bad there's no real story in it. But the characters are great. They're all completely different I especially love Penolope Grarcia and Dr. Spencer Reid.



       9. The Ghost Whisperer
       This show is about a woman called Melinda and she is able to see the spirits of dead people and she can interact with them. She's had this gift ever since she was born and she uses it to make as much spirits go into "the light" as she can. While trying to live a "normal" life. More than once this show scared the hell out of me or made me cry.

      After the fifth season it was cancelled.




   8. The Vampire Diaries
      It's a CW teen-drama about a girl who lives in mystic falls a small town and she falls in love with a vampire called Stefan who has a brother who has a whole lot of charisma and dry humor (2 things I love). A lot of people was that they don't like this show because they see it as a desperate re-make of twilight. People, the Vampire Diaries isn't like twilight at all! In fact it was written over a decade before twilight was even written! The Vampire Diaries is way better than twilight anyway. It's less black and white it did change some stuff about the weaknesses and strengths of the vampires but not in a ridiculous way like "vampires sparkle in the sunlight" seriously that one is just ridiculous. I love how Stefan hates Damon and Damon just doesn't care and laughs it all away.

   7. Danni Lowinski
This is a Belgian show so you probably have never heard of it and never even bother on watching it. But I'm writing about it anyway. This show is about a young woman who used to be hairdresser and just finished law-school (yes she's a lawyer). But she has one little big problem. No one wants to hire her, because she doesn't look like a lawyer at all, she even seems a little "marginal" and she is, she definitely is. Anyway since no one wants to hire her she decides to start her own lawyer company thingy. So she starts working in the shopping center and she gets all kinds of strange costumers.

      6. Degrassi
      This series is some kind of a soap series but then for teens. It follows a large group of teenagers who each have their own problems that teenagers nowadays have to deal with like relationships where you get abused by your partner, teen pregnancies, divorces, bullying, drugs,... all kinds of stuff. The only thing that kind of disturbs me is that Clare is dating her stepbrother ewww disgusting. But it's very nice to watch and it's enjoyable for everyone who's still in school.


    5. Grimm
       Grimm is an amazing show with a lot of funny lines and it's easy to keep up with what's going on that's what I love so much about it. And the creatures in the show they're so ... so... I really can't explain you've never heard of them, but yet it seems like you recognize them. As if they're old friends you haven't seen in forever. My whole family likes it (except my brother he only likes his marginal rap from those marginal wanna-be rappers from the rappers like yes-r and kraantje pappie with idiotic names) my mom only watches along because she thinks the main character is "hot" and my sister is a wanna-be me.she just doesn't know it yet. Enough about me. This show is just awesome and you really don't want to miss it.


    4. Game of Thrones
Game of thrones is an epic fantasy HBO show. It's a miniseries which got very popular in the USA but unfortunately didn't get much attention in my country Belgium. I guess Belgium isn't ready for this kind of fantasy yet. Even Lord of the Rings is hardly popular around here. Game of Thrones is about another world and the way things work over there. You see the story through the eyes of the Stark family, the Baratheon family and of course the eyes of Deanerys. Deanerys and Arya are both my favorite characters, because they're so strong. Not in het physical way but mental. Something I also love about this show is that they're not afraid to let main characters die or let them get physically challenged. And maybe it doesn't end well. You never know. I love that everything and everyone in this show is grey. It's never black and white.

    3. Once Upon A Time
      This show is so black and white seriously nothing is grey. Well... except Rumpelstiltskin maybe, but that's just the way fairy tales are, in this case I love it. Once Upon a Time is about a bunch of fairy tale characters who got dropped in a wold where all their happy endings were stolen... this world. Because of a curse by an evil queen. And only one person can bring back the happy endings and try to bring back the fairy tale characters to their own world. That person is Emma The daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming she was the only one who could escape from the curse by a magical closet. It's an amazing show and you should watch it.


    2. Merlin
Everyone knows the legend of King Arthur Pendragon and warlock Merlin. There are a million movies, tv shows and books based on it. But this one is different. It has it all knights, magic, castles,... But still it has a little bit of today in it. The arrogance of Arthur, the way they speak, the way they're not talking about god all the time. Seriously in most shows that take place around that time they speak in very hard English and they're always talking about 'the lord' and as an atheist that's very annoying. I really love everything about the show. except Uther. He's just... I don't know why, but I certainly don't like him. But the rest of the characters make up for it.

   1. Legend of the Seeker
This is my number 1 people. Already for 2 years. It got canceled after the 2nd season, but this is the best show ever. Everything is so grey. Okay you caught me I am an high fantasy fan. This show is loosely based on the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind and you really HAVE to read the books first. The show is great, but the books are even better. Take the effort to read them please. It'll be the best decision you've made in your life until now. Anyway it's hard to say what this show is about. It's about a boy who has to save the world by finding the truth and fight Darken Rahl and the keeper. You certainly won't regret watching it. You'll wonder why you've never tried it before. This show really changed my life.

The Hobbit (2012)


Right now you must be thinking "A girl who has a post about The Hobbit? isn't that a movie for guys?". I thought that too that only a few girls would be into Lord Of The Rings (2001, 2002, 2003), but I found out that as they'd say where I'm from nothing is less true. I went to see it a few days ago (the 29th of december 2012) in the kinepolis of Brussels and only the first row of seats was (almost) empty every other seat was taken.And if I had to guess now how much percent of the people who were there were women I'd say about 65% and 35% men. So I guess that Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit is not a men-thingy.
I went to watch it with my boyfriend who's actually not into fantasy at all. The only fantasy movie/tv-show he likes is Legend of the seeker which is actually my favorite tv-show (Just got an idea I should make a post with the list of my favorite TV shows!), and his father who's into Lord Of The Rings.
I really like the movie, and I think that it was well made. I thought it'd be boring because there should be 3 movies made out of an 310-page book. And each movie would be 3 hours long. So that'd make 100 pages a movie and 33 pages an hour. That's like 2 average chapters.  I really thought the movie would suck, but it was very good and the actors were great. I loved how Bilbo didn't want to come with Gandalf and the dwarfs at first and how they came in and started to eat all of his food. I also loved how you could recognize stories that you heard in the books like the story about the trolls fighting about how they'd cook them till the sun came up which made them turn into stone. I also loved that there were a few songs in it. I think there were 3 songs. But the songs were very well listen to this epic song below.


When this song started playing everyone got quiet except the woman next to my boyfriend Sam. The whole movie she was laughing I think she could be Santa his twin sister. Seriously. Although I can not say that it must have been fun to sit in the cinema next to me. Although this just happened once. When that huge scary spider came on the screen I started screamed like a.... like something that screams really loud. That spider was very scary and I wasn't the only one. The scenes with Gollum are definitely my favorite ones.
