My Fall Essentials

Fall is just coming around the corner, but I can already feel its coldness everywhere around me. The leaves haven't fallen yet where I am, so it doesn't really look like fall, but I can tell you, it certainly feels like fall. Don't get me wrong, though. I love fall: the colorful leaves, the warm blankets, hot tea, sweaters...
They all wouldn't be part of fall, if it wasn't cold.

These are my fall essentials and the things I use to fight the cold.

Paper Towns | the movie review

When I heard they were making a movie of my FAVORITE book, I got very excited. Sitting in the movie theater, in those (oh so soft and lovely) red chairs, I was even more excited. So today, I'm very happy to share my thoughts in this review of Paper Towns, the movie.

I'm back

First off, I have to apologize. I haven't posted anything all summer break. I'm so sorry. I was in the United States for four weeks during my summer break (yay!) and I didn't have much time for blogging... 

I think it was probably good for me though, to have a little blogging break. Now I can start with a fresh, clear mind. :)

I hope you didn't think that I stopped Elephantastic. There will be lots of posts coming soon! 

I'm back!

PS. Please say hi to my friend the seagull. ;)

My travel essentials & tips

At the moment of writing this post, I am sitting on my bed, with my blogging notebook next to me. In two days, though (Friday), same time, I'll be sitting in an airplane on my way to the United States! I'm super excited and in the US there will finally be constant sunshine! The weather here in the Netherlands is different every week (sometimes very hot, sometimes really rainy...). Anyway, going to the US means I'll have to pack my suitcase (more like stuff my suitcase) and put all my on-plane essentials in my carry-on bag.
