I hope you have all had an amazing summer so far. Mine has been eventful, to say the least and so I thought it was time for a good old life update post. Where should I start? (not just a rhetorical question, I’m genuinely thinking about where I should start.) If you have been following my blog for a while you know that I went abroad right after my birthday, to the lovely country of France. There I took part in a concept called ‘workaway’ which is basically the same as work & travel, only that you don’t earn money but… View Post

Remember the days when my blog was all about beauty? When I would talk about my favourites every month and describe my foundation routine? A lot has changed since then and although I don’t restrict my blog to certain topics a beauty posts is rarely seen on my blog these days. Today’s post is all about beauty, though not in the typical sense. This post is dedicated to a topic that is very important to me and that I’d like to be more openly discussed in the world of beauty: cruelty-free beauty.  As you might remember I used to be… View Post

Is there anything better than relaxing at the beach and reading a good book? I have already answered that question in my latest post about my holiday in Croatia, for me there isn’t. Whenever I go on holiday I spent hours at my local bookstore looking for the best holiday reads and I often search websites such as goodread to find new inspiration. For this year’s holiday I settled on three books that were all quite different from one another. One was the sequel of the highly discussed novel ‘Me Before You’, another one a novel written by Nicholas Sparks… View Post

 Exactly two weeks ago we got up very early to catch our flight to Split in Croatia and even though I’m certainly not a morning person Croatia’s beauty made the short night and endless queue at the check-in fully worth it. When we arrived at the airport we were directly picked up and brought to our hotel that was situated in the lovely village of Baska Voda. I had never heard of Baska Voda before booking our hotel and despite seeing some pictures on the internet I didn’t really know what to expect. When we arrived at our destination I… View Post

After talking about my plans for this summer in my last post I decided to turn words into action. So instead of spending the week at home I listened to my own preaching to fill this summer with exciting trips and exploring and thus bought a return ticket to Hamburg to visit a really good friend of mine. I was incredibly excited at the prospect of seeing her again as we hadn’t met up in a while and as she had moved flats in the meantime. But the best thing about true friendship is that neither distance nor time matter… View Post

  Summer has finally started. In theory at least. The weather can’t seem to make up its mind this year and it looks like it’s decided to just skip the hot season and head straight to autumn. But it’s only the beginning of July and so there is still hope for those of you who love high temperatures and who can’t wait to dig their summer clothes out.I’m typing this the sun has suddenly reappeared as if to underline my last statement. Anyway, I am really excited for this season as I got many things planned and as I can’t wait… View Post

Imagine blogging didn’t exist. So many hours filled with writing, planning and interacting with the community would have to be filled again and dedicated to something else. A situation that is really hard to imagine, especially if blogging is a firm part of your daily life and has the therefore become a firm part of you as a person. It all started as a simple hobby, something I did from time to time. When I typed up my first blog post that was about my July favourites I never imagined where blogging would lead me and that it would eventually… View Post

Learning a foreign language can be intimidating but one thing is certain – it is fully worth it. Not only do you broaden your horizon by acquiring new language skills you also discover a whole new world and you simultaneously grow as a person. But the list of arguments for learning a new language is endless. It ranges from being able to watch movies in their original language to connecting to people and exploring a new culture as language, culture and identity are interconnected. There is something really exciting about going on holidays abroad and being able to speak the… View Post

I love using my blog as a platform to inspire others to go out and explore the world around them. One of the things I’m passionate about is promoting places that aren’t as touristy and that aren’t necessarily mentioned in any guide books. So today I thought I would talk about a city that hardly gets visited by any tourists and that you have probably never heard about before: Venice. Oh well. I remember sitting in the kitchen of the hostel I was working at in Nice and chatting to other volunteers from all over the world. One of them… View Post

If you had only one day to live, how would you live it? A rather complex question that has probably crossed each person’s mind at least once. We never actually think that it’s the last day, though, we always assume we are left with many more. So the question about how we’d fill our last 24 hours seems absurd and like a hypothetical scenario we will never actually enter. Last year I read a book that dealt with exactly that topic and although this seems like ages ago this book has not left my mind since. I have already mentioned… View Post
