Weekly diary #32: ‘new’ secondhand clothing!

Posted on March 1, 2018July 6, 2023

Hi there! Welcome into this very happy weekly diary, I have vacation! The past week my vacation begun, I went to the cinema and bought ‘new’ secondhand clothing! Want to read along? Here’s weekly diary #32.

Thursday

School started quite late today, at 11:45 AM. That means I get to sleep until 9:30 AM! Sleeping longer than 8 AM makes my life so good. I officially had school until 6 PM but luckily we were done earlier. I was home just in time so that I could still eat before I went to handball training.

Friday

I’ve gone to school for two weeks now and tomorrow I am free for vacation again. I know it’s crazy but it’s good to me haha. I always enjoy the last day of school. It makes me extra motivated. Once home I had dinner and went to the gym afterwards. On Friday evenings it’s always very quiet in the gym. It seems quite logical. But for me it is good today, I don’t like it when the gym is very crowded.

Saturday

It’s been a while since I last did it but I only worked a morning shift this week. From 7 AM till 11AM, great! Once home I packed together all the summer clothes I didn’t want anymore and brought them to Vindiets. It’s my favorite secondhand store in Enschede. If the owner sells the clothes I get a percentage of the profit, which is an extra plus besides that I get rid of clothes in a responsible way. If she doesn’t sell the clothes they go to the clothing bank for people who can’t afford clothes and can get those for free. There were some clothes that I brought with me that she didn’t take in for the store, I brought those to the clothing bank too. I used to bring it to H&M but recently there was another scandal at H&M and I’m done with them. I don’t want to support a fast fashion brand anyway. Anyway, when I bring clothes to the secondhand store I always look around for ‘new’ clothes as well. I found some things I really loved today! A dress, a jumpsuit and a hair clip. 23 euros for all three items. I haven’t bought new clothes in so long and I don’t miss it at all. At night I met up with friends to chill and sit in the hot tub one of us has. We ate pizza and so I brought my own vegan one. This night was squad goals, it was great.

Sunday

I hadn’t anything to set the alarm for and so I slept till noon. After this, I spend the day blogging, I love to do that on a free day. I didn’t have a handball match today either. For dinner I had some fries and I bought a vegan ‘kroket’. It’s a Dutch fried snack. It was vegan, organic and plastic-free. Mom found it at the Aldi. I loved these! After dinner I went to the cinema with a friend. We went to see the Maze Runner: The Death Cure. We have this tradition of going to the movies together. My visit at the cinema was plastic-free since I brought my own drinks in my reusable bottle and ordered popcorn in cardboard.

Monday

The vacation has started! I had breakfast and went to the gym. I did an X-CORE training. These always wear me out and so I love doing those. However, I like doing a specific sport way more than going to the gym. I would love to start dancing again but then I’m stuck with a certain day. Right now, I already work at least one day a week and 3 days are reserved for handball and so I want to keep the other days a little free. I did some things from my to-do list and then I watched another Happy Potter movie. Then the show Curvy Models came on tv and an old classmate of me is competing and so I am watching that too. Let’s hope she wins!

Tuesday

Since I am free all week, I had some time to earn money at my part-time job. I worked from 7AM till 3:30 PM. It is quiet on Tuesdays and so it was a good day, no stress. At night we had handball training outside for the first time, so cold! And afterwards we decided to go bowling with everybody. Spontaneous trips are always good!

Wednesday

This morning I went to do some grocery shopping with dad and some chores in the house. Right now I am writing this weekly diary and in an hour I am going to Harderwijk, to my boyfriend. We’re going out for dinner to an Indian restaurant, Mamta. I am very curious!

Yours sincerely,
Romee

when a teen goes green

Hi! My name is Romee Hoeksma and I am on a journey to an eco-positive life. An eco-positive lifestyle is a lifestyle in which I have a more positive than negative impact on the beautiful planet earth. On this blog you can follow my journey to a life with only positive impact. At this blog you can find all sorts of things, from tips to recipes to personal experiences, but most of all fun (I hope!). I write about how I want to change the world, but don’t look at it as if I’m judging you. If anything, I like responses from my dear readers the most, so don’t hesitate to contact me or respond to any of my posts!

Yours sincerely,
Romee

Dit is de route van de interrail die ik maakte de afgelopen maand! Over die interrail staat vandaag het eerste artikel (in een reeks van meerdere) online op mijn blog. Ik deel daarin namelijk mijn ervaring én wat tips en tricks. Je kan het nu vinden via de link in mijn bio 🚞.#duurzaamleven #duurzaamreizen #interrail Dit is hoe ik met de trein van Krásná Lípa (🇨🇿) naar Bratislava (🇸🇰) reisde. Dit was reisdag 3/6 van onze duurzame interrail reis. Ik ben vandaag 25 jaar geworden 🥳. Ik hoop heel hard dat dat betekent dat ik ongeveer op een kwart van mijn leven ben. En wat een verjaardag is dit! Ik mag het vieren in Kopenhagen met mijn favoriete persoon @casperchristiaanse , terwijl ik met de trein door Europa reis 🚃. Ik ben een gelukkig mens. Op naar de 50! Dit is hoe ik van Dresden (🇩🇪) naar Krásná Lípa (🇨🇿) reisde. Niet een bijster lange, maar wel een prachtige treinreis, omdat je door het nationaal park Boheems Zwitserland gaat. Dit was de tweede reisdag van onze interrail (2/6). We zijn op de helft van de interrail. Terwijl ik dit typ zijn we onderweg naar Warschau (8,5 uur vanaf Bratislava). Nog twee bestemmingen te ontdekken, maar wat hebben we nu al veel genoten. Elke dag goed en lang slapen, nieuw vegan eten proberen, bijzonder lang wandelen, spelletjes spelen, weinig schermtijd, genieten van de mooie uitzichten en zon: deze reis is genieten 💜. Dit is hoe ik met de trein van Amsterdam naar Dresden reisde 🚃. De interrail is officieel begonnen! (1/6) Vandaag verschijnt er geen artikel op mijn blog. En de komende twee weken hierna ook niet. Dat is voor het eerst, in de 7 jaar dat ik schrijf. Een heel leuk onderdeel van duurzaam leven is tweedehands kleding. Hier zijn 4 tweedehands outfits die ik droeg in augustus 2023 🌞. Je zag het al in de reel van vorige week: ik ben op vakantie geweest naar Gent, in België. Het was een ontzettende aanrader, en daarom verscheen er vandaag een artikel op mijn blog over de leukste en duurzaamste hotspots in Gent 🌆. Check it out via de link in mijn bio
