Dear readers,

I don't know if it is just me or a usual problem of everybody in my age to organize their life. It feels like it would be much better if the day has more than 24 hours. I have less time for my social and my love life lately because of my focus on my final exams and preperation for the university. There are so many things on my list I have to do.
So, it's important for me to go out on a dinnerdate with my boyfriend sometimes. After four years I'm still excited about going out with him, therefore I planned my outfit carefully. Since we were so busy on "growing up" we didn't find time to go out, so it is really something special to go on a dinnerdate.





As a minimalist I intend to choose colourless clothes and define my styling with details. Therefore I love statement rings and filigree necklaces. Actually I care a bag with me but I couldn't decide which one. The easiest accessory I immediately chose, was my red lipstick.

Dear readers,

I bought myself a whole collection of MakeUp brushes and I love them. But when I have to compare all my brushes I really have to say: Once you use high quality brushes, you'll never use something else. Even if the brushes are really good and cheap, I love the high quality brushes by Zoeva.



I got those pink brushes with a bag and I'm so in love with them. Even if there are only 5 brushes in it. The quality is uncomparable. Even on the web shop of Zoeva you could find brushes in vegan quality. The hair of the brushes are so naturally and soft.



The design is also an aspect why I always want to buy more of them. Sure, they are expensive regarding to quantity, but it it really worth it.

Dear readers,

her name is Julia and she is only 16 years old and she inspires me a lot with her sense of style. In her age I don't even have an exact idea of my own style. But I can see a lot what connects us. I'd love to share her blog Serendipity with you.



Her creativity and her passion to travel reminds me a lot of myself. But mostly her photography skills and the skill to create such beautiful pictures impressed me. Even in her young age she knows exactly how to put things in the right angle for the viewers. And her sense of colours inspires me to work more with colours but still in a simple and minimalistic way.




I just can recommend to take a look on her Instagram Page as well. It has a huge effect to see her whole collection at once and you can clearly recognize a clear-cut course. A really lovely girl with talents and big dreams.

           

Go visit her page and convince yourself!

Dear readers,

I was pissed after not getting those tickets for The Weeknd in Cologne for my sister as her birthdaypresent. It was pretty hard for me to have another idea what I could present her. She is a MakeUp lover and a huge korean fan. So part one was the calligraphy card with the Illuminate palette by bh cosmetics, but that wasn't enough. So I planned a trip to Hamburg for a shopping trip and enjoying Korean BBQ afterwards.



It was very cold in Hamburg, so my sister decided to stay in the mall for a long time and visit the shops outside later. I bought nothing. Even it's sale I didn't find anything. The special part is I discover the "creative section" at Urban Outfitters. But the stuff are really expensive.



But the reason visiting Hamburg was not the shopping part but rather the korean bbq. It was my first time so I let my sister ordering everything for us. The restaurant HanMi is very simple and huge. It was full of people, luckily we already make reservations. We start with filled steamed and fried buns. It was really delicious but I can recommend to begin with starters if you're deciding for korean bbq.




The bbq contains of two tablegrills, six side dishes (Kim Chi salad, cucumber salad etc.) and marinated meat. You could vary the dishes on your very own, so it's possible to have marinated meat or pure meat or even vegetarian. My sister thought we had to try the korean stew and I was worried about the mass we were eating.




I was definitely full after that meal, but I really can recommend korean BBQ as a group activity. It was a lot oof fun and you're discovering new cultures with friends.

Dear readers,

today it's the birthday of my little sister and the perfect time to try out my calligraphy skills by creating a selfmade card. Calligraphy is really difficult and requires calmed hands. But I can't draw without scribbles and presketch, so the first step I always make even though it's not usual in calligraphy, is to prepare doodles, which I can trace afterwards with the utensil I like to have it.



I choose to trace them with a black fineliner pen and define it with ink brush. It was really hard to work precisely with brushes, because I can't control the brush like I can control the pen.

But my sister liked it and that's what matters. The main present for her is a trip to Hamburg city and visiting a Korean BBQ Restaurant. Stay tuned to read more about it!

Dear readers,

since the GLOW – BeautyConvention I know about the MakeUp brand bh cosmetics. They seem very cheap for a high quality brand, but unluckily, we didn't have any chance to try out the products at the BeautyCon because of the long queue. Carli Bybel and Ashley Tisdale were the latest celebrities collaborating with bh cosmetics and I thought I have to try out some products.



A disadvantage of the shop is nearly everything interesting like brushes or liquid lipsticks were sold out. So I just order some palettes and payed only 41€ for everything.



The colors of this nude palettes are so adorable I have to buy them. Of course the consistence of them are not good as my favourite Naked palette by Urban Decay, but after a while and some little tricks I have to say the palette is really beautiful and some colours could be used as blush or highlighter as well.




The Illuminate palettes contains highlighter, eyeshadow and blush. I bought it as a birthday gift, so I couldn't try it out. But the highlighter palette is my absolute favourite of my order. Even if it didn't last too long on your skin the colours are perfectly for every skin type. And the rest of it you can use as eyeshadow. I make it last long with fixing sprays or with help of applying vaseline first.



And at least they sometimes send you little presents like this eyeshadow palette. I won't use it, so it makes a perfect present for birthdays or Christmas. For the price, the products of bh cosmetics are really recommendable although I prefer to try out the liquid lipsticks and the brushes collection of them.

Dear readers,

I'm working very hard at the moment. My agency is preparing a complete relaunch for a huge international brand and we all getting exhausted the longer we are working on that project. And since my boyfriend and I decided to move in together so we have to save a lot of money and therefore we have to cancel our vacation this year. We will end our apprenticeship this year and consider to have a little trip off the vacation-season to keep it affordable. We found a trip to Dubai for only 399€ pP with a lot of stuff inclusive. I love to travel but my only problem is to have money for travelling. But if Dubai will be as awesome as my trip with my sister to Abu Dhabi, I definitely want to check out Dubai with my boyfriend.



I can feel the warm breeze right now. The soft sand between my toes and the smell of different spices filling my nose.



Some people like snow, some people like green nature. I just need a blue sky, sand, a beach and really tasty food and I'll be the happiest human being on earth.
