F.A.C.T.S. 2013 Cosplay, comics and lots of fun!

Sunday, October 20th, Gent Belgium.
I was sent on a mission to Gent to find out what is going on at the Flanders expo. I found a lot of cosplayers and lots of comics, merchandise etc. My partner came well prepared with ration for the day so we would be well hydrated and fed. First we picked up secret information from the Archonia booth. I told them in advance to bring the needed supplies to the expo. The first part of the mission succeeded. As we walked through the crowd a voice behind me whispered: ' agent Romanoff'. When I looked he was gone... I grabbed for my guns but I was stopped in my tracks by a photographer, he wanted to take a picture.

Hey guys, I hope you like my intro to this post! I was cosplaying Black Widow at F.A.C.T.S. 2013! Here are some pictures, I will add some more soon when I find the pic's that were taken of me.

Anxiety, the bitch in my life

A lot of people suffer from panic attacks and anxiety. I am one of those people. I write this so others will understand what someone is going through if it happens.

What is anxiety? It is basically a mental condition where you can't get control over your body and thoughts. My attacks happen often in crowded places like for example a supermarket. Signs of an attack are:
Breathing heavily/breathing the wrong way causing hyperventilation
Thinking you are going to pass out
Thinking you will die
Weird feelings in your head/lightheaded
Sweaty palms/sweating in general
Racing heart/tight chest

There is no way you can predict when an attack is going to happen. When it does, try to stay calm and do not try to 'escape' the situation. It is hard to do because your body is going crazy and your thoughts are out of control. If you are with someone tell them what is happening. It is reassuring to know that you can get help if you are going to hyperventilate. I always try to gain control of the situation. It happened a few times when I let it out of control and it was terrifying.

Where does it come from? That question is hard to answer because for everyone it is different. My anxiety started when my grandpa was in hospital fighting for his life. I could not handle the stress of losing him. I literately fainted when he passed away and saw him lying there. So my fear is losing people and death as a whole thing. Off course there were some other things going on at that time which were very stressful. It all added up and the passing of my grandpa was the final blow.

Can you be 'cured'? Yes you can, but it takes time. Some things just happen and this whole anxiety thing is just another bitch that comes along in your life. I used to freak out every day but now I just have my moments sometimes. Just focus on the positive and enjoy life. Try to avoid taking pills, they do not solve the problem at all!

I hope this was somehow helpful and if you suffer from anxiety please do not give up. It will get better, stay positive :)

WHY SEPHORA WHY???

The excitement I felt when it came to our little country....and now there is nothing but sadness. I went to the Sephora store because there is a big clearance going on. I left with nothing. Yeah, you read that correct. Nothing. I am so bummed that I stood there wondering what the hell to buy. Most of the shelves were already empty. The reason they are leaving is that Sephora wants to concentrate on a different market like Asia. So after the 1st of June there is no more Sephora here. If you want to order something it can be done via www.sephora.fr

the end.

Birthdays, being ill and a review.

Hey there, yes I am still alive! It's been kinda busy lately with birthdays and I wasn't feeling too well. My boyfriend celebrated his 30th birthday and our little cousin turned 2. For Wesley his birthday I made some yummy food.

Stuffed eggs

Mushroom soup

Apple/cinnamon cake

More snacks waiting in the fridge

I still have a nasty cold, so I am still not feeling 100%


BUT...on to the review.....

Nivea body milk the shower edition

I mentioned this product a few posts ago. So basically you use this after you washed yourself in the shower. It has the same texture as regular body milk, so it is very runny. It does make your skin feel soft, but I prefer something more rich like a body butter. Especially now, my skin is recovering from all the winter violence. If you want to try this, you can buy it at the drugstore. I bought mine at Kruidvat.

the regular price is about 6 euro's but I got it on sale for 4.

Sorry I have been gone for a while, I am going to write new posts right now :)

I'll leave you with a random cute picture of Diablo <3
