Amsterdam Stories: New Yoga Studio, Hortus Botanicus & More

Hi darlings!

First of all: happy October! I can hardly believe it when I’m writing this down. Time really does fly and the world around me slowly gets a bit festive. When this month starts it always feels like Christmas is just around the corner. But … first things first. Let me tell you all about what I’ve been up to last week.

So, last Friday morning it was finally time to visit a new yoga studio and join a Hatha yoga class. It’s been a few months since I went to a yoga studio (I only followed online classes the past few months). I wasn’t nervous, though, rather excited. As soon as I entered the building, I got caught by the relaxing atmosphere and I was friendly greeted by a woman. She showed me around, after which I could enter the actual studio. There were yoga mats and some props already. At the end of class, I felt zen and energetic at the same time! I’ll definitely go there more often. In the afternoon I visited Hortus Botanicus: it’s the botanical garden of Amsterdam. I especially loved the butterfly house, palm house and climate house. It was kinda funny ’cause the butterflies in the butterfly house were at a certain point all over me. Some even tried to land on my head, hihi. I just loved it!

Later that day, I took the train to Deventer, to meet my parents for dinner at a hotel’s restaurant. The food was super yummy and we had a great time! We also decided earlier that I would stay over at my parents for the weekend. I slept wonderfully that night. Saturday afternoon, my sister and nephew came over at my parents’ house & in the evening an uncle and aunt. I loved it all.

Ohh, and today I redecorated and upgraded my apartment. With the help of my parents I installed a shower cabin (there used to be a shower curtain only) and I changed a smaller clothes rack for a double rail clothes rack. It was also time to add some feminine, soft and cutish decoration. You should definitely check out the photos below :)

Well, we reached the end of today’s blog post! I’m about to follow an online yoga class, gonna do some skin care and enjoy my redecorated apartment (#blessed). Talk to you next week and never forget: you are enough. You are worthy. You deserve to be here♥️
