Cool Collector
# Cool Collector Files

The first post of 2011! I wish you all a very happy, beautiful and healthy and of course a cool year with lots and lots of luck!

The last few weeks I was really busy working. This was my first turn of the year as a independent trendwatcher and I learned a lot about the amount of questions, interviews and presentation-requests appearing in your mailbox when a new year is about to come! Which really gave me a lot of good inspiration for my new years solutions :) . But besides not having much time for my blog left, I finished all deadlines and had a great month in which I met a lot of interesting people with inspiring ideas and offers for 2011! One of the biggest things I've learned this year is if you want something, just say it and be open and clear about it, it might just happen! So to keep up this new wisdom of mine (and many others) I would like to reflect on 2010 achievements I am grateful and proud of and look forward to things I would like to realize in 2011.

my 2010 was the year...

- I Finished art academy cum laude in January
- I Moved into my ramshackle house which we totally rebuild first (with blood, sweat and tears)
- I was a extreme sucker for soccer (for about a month!)
- I also really started to hate octopuses and in the summer I ate lots and lots of calamaris to calm that anger down!
- I got more suspicious about catholics than I already was
- I started to happy four square gardening on my roof (also known as rooffarming)
- I started my own one-woman-company
- I realized I was totally addicted to social media
- I got nominated for the dutch 'drempelprice' , 'maaskantprice'
- I won a TWOTY award for upcomming trend-talent
