Seven facts about myself

1. My favorite flowers are tiger lilies. They’re beautiful, bold, but also elegant!
2. I don’t like salads at all. I’m always hungry afterwards, so I prefer warm veggies :). I do appreciate salads as a side dish.
3. I don’t want to brag ;D. But I’m pretty good at choosing gifts for the people that I love. I’ll often buy something and also do a DIY!
4. My favorite Vietnamese soup is Bun Bo Huê. It’s so fragrant!
5. I got my driving license pretty late. My BF and I are avid train travelers and college was easily accessible with public transportation. So I only got my license when I was 25 years old. Only 4 months after obtaining it, I had to ride 500km to go from Belgium to Germany. It took me 6 hours and I stopped every 2 hours. When I finally arrived, my shoulders were as stiff as a plank haha.
6. I have a rooster called Milo! He’s the only pet that got a name that isn’t a dessert. My parents gave him to me when I moved out, because they kept his brother. Milo is a small cochin rooster with beautiful green feathers. I wanted to buy little cochin wives for him. But my BF wanted real big hens with real big eggs, so he picked out three big wives for Milo, when I wasn’t home. But because Milo is small, they aren’t really nice to him. So I refused to give them names. I just say: I’m going to feed Milo and his b*tches… I know, it’s not nice, but Milo deserves so much better!
7. We’ve always said, we’d get a dog. But ever since we moved out, we haven’t really considered taking one. We often get home pretty late, so that poor dog would have to stay home alone all day. If we’d ever get one, it would probably be a Shiba Inu (even though I also love Corgi’s and Pomeranians, but that’s too small for the BF haha).

3 interesting and different facts about myself

1. I love cooking! My dad taught me all the basics, because we used to have a restaurant. One of the first dishes he taught me was caramelized chicken! I always follow his cooking rules and I immensely admire my dad for his knowledge. He’s very inspiring and can be inspired by the funniest things. He could sometimes see a certain dish in his dreams and when he wakes up, the first thing he wants to do is try out this new dish :D. But then when I invite my parents, I don’t want to disappoint him, so I always cook something he can’t, which is Japanese, Korean, Lebanese,… food. Thank god for Pinterest and internet haha!!
2. My love for make up started at an early age. My mom has always said that there’s no excuse, you always have to make sure to look great for your partner. And I do believe that that’s important, to look good for the significant other. It means you still care!
3. I’m not much of an alcohol drinker. But it is a bit part of the Belgian culture. It is appreciated and expected that on a dinner or party you drink something alcoholic. So every week, when I visit my parents in law, I drink a Kir (white wine with Cassis cream) so that I’m not the party pooper haha. The reason why I don’t really like to drink is the loss of control.

Seven things about myself

Boy this is getting harder to find random facts haha.

1. I grew up with the Sailormoon manga. I collected cards and I had a Sailormoon clock, which was so cute! I learned how to draw manga with Sailormoon. I still have the artwork from when I was 15 years old or even younger, which I’ll share with you some time.
2. I’m very bad at traditional sports as I said before. I’m quite clumsy, but only not when I’m dancing haha. I have so many scars from falling during sports class… I even knocked out my friends front teeth when I was smashing with Badminton and she was running in the opposite direction…
3. I seriously got into makeup when I was in college. I had to study for my exams, but instead I was watching make up vids by Michelle Phan. Can you believe she’s only 2 weeks older than me. Amazing how much she’s accomplished at this age!!
4. My favorite color is pink. The more people laughed at me for wearing it, the more I’d wear it. I think that when people are judgy about your appearances, it says so much more about themselves.
5. I love beauty related things: trying out new products, trying out techniques, reading about it,… My obsession goes so far that when I’m brushing my teeth I’m already watching YouTube vids!
6. I’ve always dreamt of a Tearoom. And I would’ve called it “Sarah’s cup of Tea”. This is where my blog name “Cup of Beauty” came from.
7. Because I want my time at home to last as long as possible, I always go to bed very late. I always regret this afterwards, but I only sleep 6h30 a day. I know that the beautysleep is important. I really need to work on this.
