READ // januari 2013


one. I got this one from my aunt Eliane who likes real food as well and I think this is very good to start with if you like to get into clean eating for the first time. This books explains it in a very good way. A plus for me is the beautiful design. Yay Liesbet, you made the perfect drawings to go with this book. You can find her work here. I was happy to help her out in the past as well when she opened her beautiful webshop!

two. If you really would like to eat less bread or grains but find it hard to convince yourself, please read this book. It will help. Promise.

three. One of the books that has been on my shelf for a long time. Still reading it, chapter by chapter. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don’t.

READ will be a new series on the blog where I’ll be sharing the books I’m currently reading. The one thing I really promised myself in 2013 and will continue do to in 2014 is reading. It makes me less stressed and I can really lose myself in a book. I’m grateful to have found something like that. I will share some of my books on the blog so you can follow along and maybe read with me. I’m most interested in books about Health, Food, Photography and Design, you’ll see 😉

Enjoy this very sunny sunday. It’s perfect.

Love,
Melissa

my final project.


Like I promised. My project “Stories”.
This is my final project. I made my own modern adaptations of Snow white & Rapunzel based on their symbolic meaning: growing up and every aspect of being a young adult. Have a look. I’m proud.

BOOKs READy To Go


Hello readers!

My books are ready for print and it makes my yayks! It’s up to the printing office from now on. Monday, my prints will be finished afterwards I’ll be binding the books and make covers. Excited 🙂

The last days have been pretty busy but I also took the time to enjoy the worldwideweb and watch some nice things online. Here are the things that made me pretty happy the last few days.



Art Director,photographer and illustrator Jess Bonham. Like his ideas.



Nice fashion from debydebo. A french designer.

Rik Lee. He got really nice illustrations. take a look at his wordpress (http://riklee.wordpress.com/)

I don’t know where i got this from but when I look at it, it makes me think about one of my best friends, Leen. 🙂

I was like ‘wow’ the first time I saw these cookies. check out her ‘etsy’. It’s brilliant 🙂 would love to make some (if i knew how).
