<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Happy to write to you again! Today I like to tell you about the trip to Trondheim, Norway</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">'s original capital. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">It's a small but lively city with impressive historical buildings, like the Nidaros Cathedral. The mixture of the traditional fisherman houses and the historical buildings make the city attractive.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The city is not only very active but also known as a city of students and technology. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">A very nice taxi driver informed me of a cool city fact, which I love to share with you.. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Did you know that g</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">ame development offices</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> of the world-famous games like Wordfeud and Race Day are situated in the middle of downtown Trondheim? I thought that was fun..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">However, this trip was a business trip and involved the UEFA Super Cup 2016. It was amazing as the whole city was dominated by football and its supporters</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Real Madrid had to face once again Sevilla in the third straight all-Spanish UEFA Super Cup. An amazing match were all true supporters have been waiting for started in the rain in the Lerkendal stadium. Despite the weather, the trills and excitement warmed up the fans and the match was exciting until the very last minutes. As both clubs didn't want to lose, Sevilla defence had to settle matters at the very last and </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Real Madrid won with 3-2 in extra time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">As promised here are the six reasons why you have to visit Trondheim, when you have the change..</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">1. Shopping is legendary, Trondheim has many shopping centres located in the city centre. In downtown Trondheim you will discover four large shopping centres located just metres apart. Trondheim Torg is a centrally located shopping center in the middle of Trondheim. </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Here you find 73 shops with fashion, shoes, beauty and wellness, house and home articles and electronics. You will also find several places to eat. Find more information by the following <a href="https://www.visitnorway.com/places-to-go/trondelag/trondheim/things-to-do/shopping/" target="_blank">link</a>.</span><br />

It’s the most northernmost medieval cathedral in the world, the most important cathedral in the country.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">3. To see the fishermen houses and to catch your own fish and to eat it a few minutes after you caught it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">4. To exhale some fresh air!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">5. To hike in nature, enjoy the wild life and discover hidden treasures.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">6. And to eat at amazing restaurants, i</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">f you want to visit Trondheim I can recommend some hot spots. The typical</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> Norwegian dishes are hard to find. As Norwegians have gone on holiday to Italy, Spain and France to enjoy their fantastic, tasty traditions of other countries they started a lot of culinary</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"> restaurants. Two recommendations can be found below:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Nyfiken is a </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">trattoria which is serving delicious Italian food along the waterside! Not only the food is amazing the interior is in </span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">''</span><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">New York style”, which makes you feel that you are a world traveler. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">San Sebasitan is a nice Tapas restaurant, which is very informal. The quality of food is nice and the interior will surprise you as this is not very Spanish. Here you can enjoy yourself with small bites along the waterside.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Dear all! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">How is your day going so far? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I am using mine to start blogging again. Today I look back to a special visit to a restaurant in Amsterdam, which is called Jansz. The restaurant is starting to be quite popular. However, the restaurant has a special place in my hart. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--g_Go9HZmoE/V5x1ei1hhLI/AAAAAAAAFv8/MrjyS1-T56UYm0MpHvJvxdIVU93NHvVRACEw/s1600/Foto%2B15-07-16%2B19%2B13%2B30.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--g_Go9HZmoE/V5x1ei1hhLI/AAAAAAAAFv8/MrjyS1-T56UYm0MpHvJvxdIVU93NHvVRACEw/s320/Foto%2B15-07-16%2B19%2B13%2B30.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Did you know that the restaurant is part of the Pulitzer hotel? After three years of working at the Pulitzer hotel, mostly in the former Restaurant Keizersgracht 238 now called Jansz, I still feel connected to the place. And it is a very special place, if you ask me. The interior is define! The former floor of the restaurant was covered with marble. They have removed the marble from the floor and created the table tops. I think that is very creative.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The food is excellent too! I ordered the bavette steak, which is not very common. It is from the lower part of the cow and very tender as tasty!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The dessert was fine not very special, no I am just kidding with you! It looked amazing. I tried the peach frangipane with milk ice cream. Is truly as rich and fancy as it sounds. Frangipane is an almond pastry cream that can be used as a filling in tarts or cakes. The term can be used to refer to both the almond cream itself or the pastry that is filled with it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">After a week of adjusting to the Netherlands lifestyle again. I am ready to say that I am glad to be back.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I loved my time in Milano. And I learned a lot, also about myself. I made new friends, some of them for life. It was a great experience and I wouldn't miss it for the world.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I learned more about the luxury market industry and the publishing houses in Italy. I went to the book release of David Nicholls, Us. And I read an amazing story about a child soldier in Sierra Leone what changed my thinking.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I visited the most romantic cities which Italy has to offer. Rome was the most wowing city. You can feel the Roman Empire. Venice was the most magical one.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It felt like I was in a movie. Have you seen the movie with Angelina Jolie and Jhonny Depp, The tourist? It felt just as magical. Venice will surprise you. It was high ranked on my bucket list. But now I can finally cross that one.</span></div>

I loved to be there. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Italy is an amazing country, it has a lot of beauty and the greatest food I had every tasted. If you want to see all those beautiful cities, just fly out to Milano an go further by train. The train is not that expensive and you can visit the most amazing cities I have ever seen.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Thank you Milano, it was awesome!<br /><br />(If you ever visit Milano, check out the rooftop of the Duomo!)</span></div>

He is a British author, screenwriter, and actor. You might know him because of his romantic story One Day. Which became a movie in 2011 starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess. He is a charming writer and very nice to listen to.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Yesterday David released his newest story in Museo Nazionale della Scienza Milano. It was awesome to be there. He released his book Us. And in Italian Noi. It is a quit interesting story. I don't know if I am the right target group for his new book but the story didn't suit me right. It is about marriage and the relationship between father and son.<br /><br />I made a quick summary about the book:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The novel opens with a family cliche, their son is about to leave for college. The wife is waking her husband is the middle of the night to tell him that she thinks their marriage has run its course and she wants to leave him.</span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span><br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FFCzoZHXgDA/VGdSx0XAHBI/AAAAAAAAFrg/ucH-65T22mY/s1600/20141114_203001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FFCzoZHXgDA/VGdSx0XAHBI/AAAAAAAAFrg/ucH-65T22mY/s1600/20141114_203001.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">From this point the story starts with explaining their lives. First it begins with how they met.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">It is all written in Douglas’s point of view, the husband. He is a cynical and brilliant man, a biochemist. He is raised by two very responsible parents with all the wisdom in the world.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">That makes Douglas a very practical men and very analytical too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">His wife in the novel is called Connie, she is a young artist, beautiful and a little insecure. She leads a wild and irresponsible life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Douglas lacks imagination and empathy. He and his son argue a lot, and when not arguing they are often silent. Consequently their marriage if full of tension and unspoken resentment. Their lives are provincial and dull. So one night Connie found all the courage and announces her intention to leave him. Douglas is heartbroken. Connie asked him to go with her and Albie to a grand tour true Europe. One last family vacation for Albie. What than happens I will leave to your imagination. But the plot is very predictable.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I think that the book isn't published in the Netherlands. But it will be. You could be one of the first people within the Netherlands or other countries that knows about this book before its on the market. Love it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Enjoy your Saturday!</span><br />

The brand with a rich heritage, 90 years of legacy. With its original workshop in Florence.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />Yeah I am talking about Gucci, the brand that gives women what they desire, to sparkle on the red carpet, Italian design handbags and so forth</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I was lucky enough to visit the </span><br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HGTl0kaXZmc/VFqcMF27NVI/AAAAAAAAFrM/9R9yy0Th-Ec/s1600/IMG_3753.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HGTl0kaXZmc/VFqcMF27NVI/AAAAAAAAFrM/9R9yy0Th-Ec/s1600/IMG_3753.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Gucci Museum in Florence. It is there from 3 October until 8 February 2015. It was a beautiful museum, just as magical like the evening gowns on the red carpet. You can see the very beginning of Gucci and there first luggage bags.<br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I read that Guccio Gucci was inspired by London while he was working in the Savoy Hotel. He brought his ideas back to Italy and opened a leather goods company and small luggage store in his native Florence.<br /><br />Fascinating right? How you can grow to a </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">well known world wide</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> </span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">luxury brand with just your ambition, your inspiration in the right time and at the right place and some money to invest off course.<br />Anyway I love the history behind big famous brands. It gives me inspiration and the feeling that everything is possible. Except buying a Gucci bag, I am still a student. So no Gucci bag at this time. But with a vision, a dream we can be entrepreneurs! It is a matter of giving people what they want, just before they recognize the need.<br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Enjoy your day!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Love, Romy</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">A sunny Monday morning in Milano makes me think of the great adventures I had. Gosh I love it! I am already here for two months and time flies! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I think I am living the Italian dream. The food is incredible and the cities are so beautiful. I love to travel and it is very easy, because the train goes everywhere.</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N_EUXSCEgs8/VFdikwSB9gI/AAAAAAAAFqc/TkzgZUfu4hI/s1600/DSC_1668.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-N_EUXSCEgs8/VFdikwSB9gI/AAAAAAAAFqc/TkzgZUfu4hI/s1600/DSC_1668.JPG" height="214" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This past weekend, I was lucky enough to take a short trip Genova.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The weather was perfect and I was so happy to be walking along the shore of Genova. It felt as an one-day-holiday. Genova is a historical port city in northern Italy. It has a long history as a rich and powerful trade centre.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The city is really surprising, beauty is often hidden inside the narrow streets. So be careful you can pass beauty easily without noticing it.<br /><br />We took a hop off hop on bus to be sure we wouldn't miss anything. And it worked! It was an easy way of traveling among the city. The Piazza De Ferrari is so beautiful and very hidden. That's the place where you can shop till you drop and visit the Cathedral of St. Lorenzo. It is the beating heart of Genova and typical Italian, very artistic too.<br /><br />I feel very lucky.</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Enjoy your day! Love, Romy<br /><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Saturday I went to Verona! The city of love and Shakespeare. The city is so romantic with all those lovely buildings and balconies. The small details and the awesome colours are the thing I love about the city. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">There is a lot to see in Verona. Al lot of high lights and amazing piazza's. And we</span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"> all know the love story of </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Romeo & Juliet and the balcony is right there in the city center.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />From Milano to Verona its only 1,5 hours by train. The station that you need is Verona Porta Nuova. From that station you have to walk like 20 minutes to get to the city center. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">When you arrive in the city center the first high light you will cross is the Arena. It is an amazing historical building and huge too!</span><br />

So it is not that bad at all!</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /><br />Bologna is the largest city (and the capital) of the Emilia-Romagna Region in Italy. It is a trendy city and very colourful too. </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The buildings are orange and old brown </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; text-align: center;">in Medieval and Gothic style.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">

The city is not that big so it's very easy to see it all.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I think it is the only city with so many churches. I have seen them all but wauw how many churches do you need in one city?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">If you are as student, you can get some nice discounts at the local bars nearby the universities. Awesome! Just bring your studentcard with you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />There is a really nice food market called Mecato di Mezzo! </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">It is a food market with small stands and they prepare outstanding local food. You can order the most amazing wines from the wine bars too!</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I like it so much! It is great to have some lunch there.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Today I like to show you a really nice blush from Hema. It is the wet and dry blush powder.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The colour is really pretty and it will give you a nice glow. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The wet and dry part is something that I really like. You can apply the blush dry for a sophisticated day look and you can use the blush with a wet brush for a shimmering evening look.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Both looks are amazing and very easy to apply on your skin.<br />The blush costs € 4,50 and the colour number is 52.<br /><br />The left picture shows the blush applied with a wet brush and the right picture is the blush applied just dry and still very beautiful. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">You can click on the picture to see a larger image. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The brush that I use is the brush from R</span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">eal Techniques. It is a brand from the Chapman sisters who are makeup artists.</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> The brushes look very pretty and they blend perfectly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The bristles are synthetic, very fluffy and the colour you see on the picture is part of a coloursystem, very handy. The pink ones are for the blush and the gold one is for foundation. You can buy them at alicejo.com the prices are between the €13,00 and €14,50. A whole set is €34,95.</span><br />
