Fun in The Netherlands, visit Maastricht

Although Amsterdam is Holland’s beautiful capital it is so well worth to explore The Netherlands a little more. There is so much more to do and see. Plus, The Netherlands have a couple of cities that are perfect for shopping, dining and sightseeing. Hop on a train from Amsterdam and visit beautiful Maastricht.

Maastricht is the most southern city in The Netherlands and maybe one of the most vibrant cities in the country. Maastricht has a large student population, the most excellent restaurants in The Netherlands and some amazing shopping options. Since it takes around 2.5 to get to Maastricht from Amsterdam it is well worth staying overnight. Check out these 3 top things to do in Maastricht.

Visit the book shop in the church

Maastricht has the most beautiful bookshop in The Netherlands. Libris bookshop has been voted the most stunning bookshop in the world several times, and I think that this is very just so. The bookshop is set in an old Dominican church, dating back to 13^th century. You can climb the steps high, higher, highest to browse all the books. But having a cup of coffee is also worth it.

Shop til you drop

Maastricht is maybe (probably!) the best city in The Netherlands to go shopping. Maastricht was occupied by the French in the 18^th century and that French style and class somehow lingered and can now be found in dozens and dozens of lovely boutiques. Check out the Jerker quarter for the best shopping options.

Fine dining

It’s almost impossible to have a bad meal in Maastricht. The people from Maastricht love living the good life and think that proper food and drink are very important. And who are we to disagree! There are some pretty swanky options in town, but I think the less expensive cafés and restaurants are just as good. ‘t Wycker Cabinet is perfect for lunch and drinks, and just across the street Zondag is never short of clientele. Some funkier options are found just a little outside the city centre: Brandweerkazerne (a large restaurant in an old fireman station) and Tapijn (a bar and restaurant in old army barracks).

How to make perfect eyebrows

Sprancenele mele sunt destul de rare si oricat am incercat sa le fac frumoase si dese nu am reusit. Chiar daca am un machiaj reusit, daca sprancele nu sunt accentuate, ceva lipseste si pare in neregula per total. Fardurile de sprancene nu sunt intocmai preferatele mele desi stiu ca multe fete le prefera. Astazi vreau sa va arat un gel pentru sprancene achizitionat recent, care-mi place foarte mult : DipBrow gel de la Anastasia Beverly Hills. Este un gel de sprancene pigmentat, are acoperire buna, eu aplic putin produs si pentru mine este suficient, este rezistent la apa - dupa cateva minute de la aplicare nu se mai ia usor, nu curge, si ofera un aspect natural si mat sprancenelor. Vine in varianta mini si full size, eu am luat varianta mini si il folosesc de cateva luni, insa nu zilnic. Dar este genul de produs care rezista destul de mult. Periuta face aplicarea foarte usoara, poti chiar sa dai putin forma sprancenelor cu ea. Dar se poate achiziona separat orice perie de sprancene

Atmosfera cozy de toamna la tine acasa cu aromaterapie

Hello girls, Acum ca vara a trecut si toamna si-a facut simtita prezenta, imi petrec majoritatea timpului in casa, in living, unde mi-am pus si biroul. Petrecand atat de mult timp acasa de un an, este foarte important pentru mine ca sa am mereu casa ordonata, aranjata, primitoare unde sa ma pot simti relaxata. Toamna te ademeneste sa bei o cana buna de ceai, sa iei un pulover gros si confortabil, sa te simti cozy intr-o atmosfera placuta si imbietoare de toamna. Daca ai la cuptor si o prajitura cu mere si scortisoara, tabloul perfect de toamna este acasa. Seara imi place sa aprind lumanari parfumate , sa stau pe canapea cu cana de ceai si sa ma uit la un serial. Mirosul imbietor al lumanarilor Yankee candle ma face sa fiu relaxata, intr-un mediu linistitor cu un parfum imbietor.
