I’ve tested out The New Weight Watchers app…

And I loved it!

Counting “smart points” (another term and totally different way of counting the well known calories), is so easy with the brand new Weight Watchers app. As you all know I have been really struggling with losing weight, but with the Weight Watchers app, I have been able to track everything in the right way.

Next to using their app, I have also visited their meetings, which one of them was actually next to my house! The meetings differ each time you visit them. The group was mostly elderly people, so I’m guessing that the more younger generation tends to work only digital (that’s also something that I prefer over the meetings). It is good to visit a meeting every once in while, since you get the chance to get up on a scale and it forces you to do your best if you have a goal ahead.

All things together, I’m curious to find out what the New Weight Watchers will hold for me in the future!

EVENT: 2019 Pure & Crafted Festival by BMW Motorrad

On Saturday the 28th of September, BMW Motorrad invited me to join them on their Pure & Crafted festival. This was also the day that I went to the store opening of the new Intimissimi store in Amsterdam (blogpost coming soon). The main reason for me to check out the Pure & Crafted festival was the mix between bikes and lifestyle. When I arrived at the spot, the whole venue had a ‘heritage’ / ‘vintage’ feeling.

“In terms of style, the programming stays eclectic, covering rock, folk, alternative and adjacent flavors. Less adrenaline-soaked but just as impressive, the International Custom Bike Show in the Wheels Area offers a grand vista of beauty in steel, rubber and gasoline. Customizers from around Europe present achingly beautiful bikes and let us in on a few tricks of the trade, showing off the art and craft that goes into the creation of unique designs. See, experience and chat about the painstaking handiwork that goes into top-level bike customization, while grabbing a lekker bite to eat!” – PureandCrafted.com

Ofcourse, one thing that I could not miss was the Press launch of the BMW Motorrad Heritage Lifestyle Collection 2020. They displayed both a male and female model wearing an outfit of their new range. Everything looked crisp and clean, but I still had some questions on top of my mind to ask! So that’s why I shook hands with Christian Cartsburg from BMW Motorrad, who knows everything about the brand new Heritage Lifestyle collection. Christian told me that BMW Motorrad always strives for the best protection possible – which is ofcourse key when it comes to creating riders gear.

When it comes to fashion, they did strive to create riderswear that does not look like gear. Now, we know it’s very fashionable these days to wear ‘bikerboots’ and ‘leather bikerjackets’ – and there are tons of options available in the fasion industry, but none of them with real protection. But now, BMW Motorrad has stepped up their game and come with their own line of true bikergear. One of the questions I had, was if their designteam thought of the female figure, meaning to create more tailored fit clothing. And the answer to that question is… Y-E-S! They did! All the gear of the 2020 collection has a special female (waisted) cut > so guess who’s happy. I am!

Lets get back to stuff that you could do at the venue. Lets start off with… FOOD. There were so many amazing foodtrucks, serving the best pulled nacho’s and more. I’m drooling as we speak. But there was also an old school barbershop where men could get shaved (for free!). So of course, Bram went in for a shave as I went to… cuddle a cute dog. *insert dog pic … HERE!*

There was also a whole area filled with custom built motorcycles. From weird, almost non rideable bikes to more old school/ modern, sophisticated ones. In one of the corners stood a friend of mine, Arjan van den Boom, who’s the owner of Ironwood Custom Motorcycles. He is, in all honesty – not because I know him, one of the best bike builders in my opinion! If you’re interested in his creations, check out his Instagram page HERE, or the pictures down below.

That being said – I’m excited for next years Pure & Crafted Festival – I hope to see a lot more people (you guys!) and a lot more custom bikes, maybe even an area where you can get information on how to start with customizing your bike.

That’s all for now! Until next time.

Life Update: Where have I been?

Life Update: Where have I been?

written by Beauty Biker

As you know, both Bram and I have been really busy with our new house the last couple of months. What took almost two years to be built, also took us a lot of time to decorate and clean out everything. Now, we’re are still a bit surrounded by cardboard boxes, but slowly they are disappearing. Taking of two weeks of work definitely had it’s benefits, but working a full-time job AND having to work on the house is really exhausting. That means that I had to make decisions: either focus on my house, or focus on Instagram.

The choice was easy of course. But it did have an impact on my channel. Where I was growing quickly on the gram, I’m now noticing that hundreds of people have been unfollowing me for the past couple of weeks. Which is totally fine with me – I rather have dedicated followers than having a nice number up there.

In the meantime, I have been writing down a lot of things for my channel – I started in 2014, but I never picked it up. So in order to do so, I’m now focusing on two things: finishing my home and start creating kick-ass content that you have been waiting for. The moment my camera got stolen, I felt lost, really lost. Three days worth of vlogmaterial just got ripped out of my hands and there is no way that I can get those memories back. And I learned it the hard way.

Now, I’m stronger than ever before.

Creating content for Beauty Biker is my passion and I’m going to turn it into my ”job”. I adore all of your love and support. Without you, it will not be possible to get to my goals. If you want to support me even more, please share my Instagram and YouTube channel with your friends and family.

Until next time,
x Beauty Biker
