First meal after NYE
I`ve spent my NYE with my best friend and the very next day we decided to start 2017 fresh and new with a good meal. And we went straight with a 3 course menu!
We dined at Van Der Valk which is a Dutch hotel chain which me and my bestie know for sure it`s open at New Years day since it was a hotel. For starters my friend picked the carpaccio salad while I picked the smoked salmon with wasabi mayo which is incredible nice and generous in portion!
For our main we chose a seafood platter that me and my bestie shared. I was disappointed to hear that the described scallops were out of stock and it got replaced with cockles. The next disappointment was how cold the platter and food was. I love love seafood but this main was just a méh.
With good starter dishes and a disappointing main we luckily ended our after-NYE meal with a good dessert! It was a tasting dessert plate with: chocolate mousse, crème brûlée, coffee, cream, biscuits, cakes and a glass of coffee liquor. It was almost a mini high tea and a good one too!
Don`t forget CNY!
Chinese New Year is still happening in Asia right now and as having a feast and good food is a tradition, giving and receiving new things is also a tradition with CNY. And so I have selfgifted myself with Lush products (yay for 50% off) such as this creamy handbar and a nice liptint.
My favorite shop
My favorite shop is HAY which I have discovered along with G. in Rotterdam! Of course I have selfgifted myself here at HAY too!
HAY is basically a modern shop that sells stationery, home decor and
furniture.
For papa dearest I have gifted him his first smart phone ever! Papa is learning how to Whatsapp and to take selfies which is ridiculously funny.
Phone snippets
At my friends and her cats // the only time I go to McDonald`s are for their ice cream & veggie burger // me and A. trying out massage chairs which was diviiiine!
Home is where the...
Where me-time is productive time. Where food is prepared, creativity is being challenged and things are made.

Vintage shop = candy shop
A tiny cozy vintage shop called `Galerie de Cleene Houttuyn` which I also shortly visited after NY and it was still in Christmas ambiance!


How`s work?
No #peekintomylife blog post without a bit of my work update. Here I want to share you guys with the New Years reception at my work!

And lastly
My happy C`s in the world: cafés, coffee, and cats!
Wooncafé - Middelburg - The Netherlands

My friend A. got the `tonka bean latte` and I got the `cinnamon sunset` which is basically a latte with cinnamon. Very delicious!

  9. Thank you for your sharing your holiday gifts and Happy C's. Your friends gave you such wonderful presents. I will have to remember a few for future gift ideas. I enjoyed the pictures of the cats, cafe food, and coffee. What could be better than enjoying good food with freinds and lingering over a cinnamon latte.
