I am a color runner!

Sunday was the first Dutch edition of The Color Run in Amsterdam. I've always read about the event and seen a lot of video's about it, so when I heard it came to Holland I was too excited!
I was lucky I got tickets because they started selling them at 10 am and they were sold out within half an hour.

I promised myself I would come prepared, but I guess I've started lying to myself. I never really got myself into shape so when Sunday arrived I was screwed. I really had a blast even though I didn't run the 5K at once. I loved the colors, the people, the atmosphere. Only in Holland would people be drinking beer and dancing right before the start of a 5K run. It really was the happiest 5K on the planet.

I think I'll be volunteering at the next event, I would love to be part of the organisation and see what's going on backstage.

The next run in Holland will be in Zwolle on 7th of July and Utrecht on 4th of august, tickets will be available 1st of June at 10 am. Be there, my cheeky little monkeys!

Book Review || The Uglies Series

I've been reading The Uglies series by Scott Westfeld, and I was really amazed by it. What would happen if the world really would become a place where everybody is pretty?

Could you live in a world here everybody is absolutely dazzlingly pretty from the age of 16? A world that revolves around partying and having fun? A world where war and poverty doesn't exist? And a world where nature isn't being touched?
It sounds absolutely amazing, but what would it matter if your mind is not thinking on its own.

Tally, Shay, Zane etc are all characters who were able to snap out of it, characters who were able to think that the world they live in isn't real. The truth is; how many of us would be able to do that? I hope I could.

So my cheeky little monkeys, do you think you would keep your mind sane in a world like that?

Lots of love, Lamyae
