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!
