My Winter Essentials

When I woke up today, everything outside was covered up with snow. Such a nice view!!
It motivated me to write a post about my winter essentials. So here we go ... :-)

Victoria's Secret - "Sheer Love" Hydrating Body Lotion

I use body lotion all year round, but during winter it's one of my BIGGEST essentials. Because my skin gets dry easily during winter, I have to use it a lot more! And I looove the smell of this one. This white cotton scent is my favourite winter frangrance. 

KIKO - Night Balm

Chapped lips do not only look unappealing, they can also be painful! This nourishing lip balm prevents my lips from this. It's supposed to apply this before going to bed, but I'm getting addicted to it! And because it's such a rich cream, I like to use it as well in the day time (I know you're not supposed to do it - but it's cold girls!)

Garnier - Miracle Skin Cream Eyes

I feel like my under eye circles look darker during this season of the year. This eyecream immediately blurs imperfections. On top, it has anti-ageing benefits in the long term too! Exactly what I need. :-)

Nivea - Soft

I've been using this hydrating cream since for ever. Nivea really has the best quality-performance ratio. I've tried more expensive - less expensive products, but in the end; no other product has given me better results.

Who is Taylor Marie Hill?

I’ve been wanting to write this article for a while, but never really got to it. Today I decided to write, and immediately upload it (hurray for my productivity!). 

So this article is about Taylor Marie Hill. Maybe you haven’t heard from her before, but you must have spotted her face at least once. Taylor has been modelling since she was 15 years old. She started with Ford Models, now the model is signed up with IMG Models.

I’ve been keeping an eye on this girl for about two years now and I’ve been sensing that she’s making big career steps in the world of modelling. I think she has a lot of potential and she might get really big in the near future, that’s why I wanted to introduce you all to this girl. I also think that she deserves this little shout out.

There’s not too much to find about her on the internet or in magazines, but I thought it would also be fun to give you an overview about the things I picked up about her since I first spotted her. By the way, I think it must have been on Instagram. She caught my eye because she seemed very familiar to me. I had seen her before on the H&M website. She’s been working a lot for H&M, DIVIDED. That’s why you might spot her while looking for clothes on their online shop.

You can also find her on the VS PINK website. She’s even has been on the head banner for a while. And not so long ago, Taylor announced that she’ll be walking in the VSFS this year. She posted a picture on her IG account, caption: “New from VS pink also I’m super excited to announce I’ll be walking in the VSFS this year I’m coming for Ya London!! @victoriassecret”.

I already mentioned I have a feeling that Taylor Hill is becoming bigger. The fact that she will be in the VSFS is of course one of the biggest reasons. But also because I’ve seen her on several catwalks during the latest Fashion Month. She’s walked for Karl Lagerfeld, Dolce & Gabbana, Christopher Kane, Versace, Kenzo, ... and (my favourite designer!!), Elie Saab!
 

Sooo, big up for this girl! I’m no expert in the model industry, but in my opinion she’s been doing awesome work and I think she’s a person we’ll be hearing more about soon. I’m telling you girls, keep her name in mind. Taylor Marie Hill.
