Yanis Marshall’s danceclasses in high heels

Every day I hear girls say how beautiful heels are and how good their legs look when they wear heels. But in reality, when girls in Holland (except maybe Rotterdam) go out, they always wear sneakers of flats. Their feet can’t handle it. I gotta admit, my feet aren’t Beyonces feet either, but I do love wearing high heels mucho.

Dancing in high heels is a bit different than walking in high heels. Dancing is faster and you really need to control your body (or feet in this case). When you are a dancer and a fan of high heels, you gotta pay a visit to Yanis Marshall’s dance classes.

High Pheels

About two weeks ago I got an email from Antony Ciccarelli. He is the owner of High Pheels (pronounced peels) and offered me to test the High Peels. I googled it and I got excited. Of course I wanted to do that! About a week later a package from San Antonio, Texas arrived.

High Pheels – the concept.
Have you ever looked at your pile of shoes wondering how it ever came this far?  Owning the perfect heel and wishing you could change the color? Or broke as MC Hammer and really need another color heels for that perfect dress?
Antony Ciccarelli made the perfect accessory for that problem! He came up with the idea when one of his friends visited him with a suitcase filled with heels. He said: “There had to be an easier way, why not have one shoe and change out the covers.”. That’s when High Pheels were born. Currently Anthony is working on the perfect heels to fit the High Pheels.

What to wear on my schoolpictures?

You’ll probably know all about it, when you’re a mother or a student yourself. Schoolpictures. In Holland the spring is a popular time to take schoolpictures. The kids arrive in their best outfit and their hair done. Mothers warn me about stains and a tuft of hair in faces and I always check the kids 10 times before the picture is taken.

I started teaching 5 years ago and I always think about my outfit in the schoolpicture. I don’t want it to look like the year before and of course I want to look fabulous too. I have a huge attraction to blue, so I also need to pay attention to that. No blue outfits on every picture!

Happy Birthday to me!

Yay! Today is my 28th birthday!

I already celebrated my birthday a little this weekend. My parents, sister, grandfather and one of my friends came over for cake and dinner. My boyfriend isn’t home so my birthday celebration is spread out over a couple of weeks!

But I do have a great party tonight. I’m going to Gilberto Gil with my mom and friends. Gilberto Gil is one of the greatest artists from Brasil. Today he is 71 years of age, but he still knows how to rock the stage!

Well, I wish everybody has a great day.

5K: Nailed it!

Most of the time you know what to expect. But I had no clue about the Meidenloop. I finished ‘Start to run’ but my last training was horrible. I had a bad side stich, out of breath and very, very tired. I got very nervous about the race. I just wasn’t sure enough I could finish without any pain or a bad feeling.
