An Instagram Summer

Published by

As Summer is slowly dwindling down and we are gearing up for a new schoolyear (peace and quiet, hurrah hurrah), I ‘ve been in a very melancholic mood these last few days. We’ve had a lousy summer this year, and my mind keeps wandering back to an amazing fortnight in the South of France (#mysliceofheaven) and the very few sunny days we had in Belgium since we got back. Do you feel like taking a walk down Instagram memory lane with me? View this post on Instagram Apparently, mojito sorbet with alcohol really is a thing…. And a damn good thing indeed!

Two weeks of non-stop family quality time under the Provence sun proved to be just what we needed! We laughed, we cuddled, we swam and played and explored. And above all, we loved!

5 Instagrams That Make My Heart Bloom

Published by

AKA credit where credit’s due… I admit, I am a social media addict, and especially Instagram knows how to tug my heart strings (and keep my mind occupied). Any moment of the day, Instagram is awash with beautiful feeds, pops of colours, floral hints of pastel and anything to please my visual OCD. Nothing inspires me like a stunning visual, so I’ve pulled together my five favourite feeds of the moment all dusted with a hint of magic and a sprinkle of inspiration for all of you to enjoy.                                                           BEAUTYMINDED BE https://www.instagram.com/p/BS_k4JvjfTO/ Katia from BeautymindedBE is undoubtedly the sweetest, prettiest, nicest and best beautyblogger in Belgium, and I pride myself in getting to call her my friend. Her feed is a stunning, thematic celebration on all things beauty, with a pinch of Mr Bunny himself, aptly named WiFi. If you ever decide to follow just one …

Aaaand we’re easing back into a new work week. Our little family holiday is over, and now it’s time to jump back into the daily grind. Time for a little recap?

My blogging game might not yet be up to par, but I’ve been excelling in the Instagram department lately. Ever since the launch of IG Stories, I have not used Snapchat once, and have been more and more into creating a cohesive IG feed (not quite there yet, but, the fun is in trying!). Below a little peek into what made it onto my feed, or just hop on over here to see everything! Happy Friday everyone! View this post on Instagram Morning glory.

Busy busy busy…. that could be the tagline of my life at the moment (or at any given moment, truth be told). The kids have gone back to school, events and launches are picking up again, delicious food a-plenty and a new and exciting project at work, to say that September has been a funfair is quite the understatement….. And who/what else that my trusted Instagram / IG Stories to document it all?

Insta-Summer

Published by

Summer still is rather elusive over here (three days of warm weather in 1.5 months does not equal summer in my book!), and as a result, my inspiration is quickly plummeting as well! What better way to get for future posts than a little stroll through my past inspirations, aka my Instagram *Or as Mr B likes to call it, my annoying addiction…*? So, what has been inspiring me these last few weeks? By the looks of it, it would have to be shoes, red lips and all things monochrome, especially tea towels. Go figure!… Here are a few of my favourites! Have a great weekend, loves!

I came , I saw, I wish I conquered (but fell flat on my face due to exhaustion). Julius Caesar may have beaten me on the “conquered” part, but I saw a lot these last few weeks, and wanted to round up the highlights up for you. As you read this, I’m off enjoying some time off in La Douce France with Mr B and our mini me’s, so if you want to know how that’s going, make sure to follow my Instagram account (@leenstruyf) to see all of the hits and misses, and more importantly, my much desired visits to a French Pharmacy for their beauty and skincare sections!

Insta Update

It’s been a bit of a whirlwind of late (and that’s an understatement…), and whoever said that it is easy for women to have it all, surely never has walked a day in a working mum’s high heeled pumps. I’ll stop the whining here, and just swiftly move on to the matter of today, a sneaky look into what I’ve been up to on Instagram these past few weeks. A little post, a lot of pictures, and there you are, back up to date! I drank, ate and double dated with some of our best friends, tried and tested a few beauty trinkets, and spent a bucket load of quality time with Mr B and our littles ones… Can you says bliss?

Life, as busy as it is, is keeping me from taking as much time for this blog as it needs, so please do not hesitate to stalk me on Instagram or Facebook, for more snaps, insights and witty puns on life, love, beauty and all other things running through my mind. I’ll be back soon, I promise!

Life Through Instagram Glasses

Published by

Instagram is by far my favourite social media channel, a picture tells a thousand words and each one is an instant flashback to that moment, mood and emotion. Last month was a calmer one, less events and meetings, but even with most of time spent with the little ones and at work, I still want to take pictures of every single second. A memorable Bugaboo presentation, a gorgeous sunrise, a failed outfit shoot and lots of beauty and quality family time, care to join me for a few of the highlights of this past month? When you ask your husband to take some outfit pictures and end up with a complete windtunnel effect series… #outfitoftheday #fail #fun #instafun #fashion #massimodutti #grey A photo posted by Leen Struyf (@leenstruyf) on Nov 9, 2015 at 8:36am PST The early bird gets the prettiest sunrise… #sunrise #beautifulmorning #50shadesofpink #nofilter #instagood #lier A photo posted by Leen Struyf (@leenstruyf) on Nov 3, 2015 at 11:15pm PST Selfies are never an easy task, especially with a 4.5y old.
